OnePlus is working on its next flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 16. Although the company has not yet made any official confirmation regarding this phone, leaks that surfaced on China’s Weibo platform and information shared by well-known tipster Digital Chat Station have hinted at several important features.
According to these early reports, the OnePlus 16 could see a major upgrade in the display and camera segments. So, let’s take a look in this article at everything we know so far about the OnePlus 16.
OnePlus 16 Display Details (Leaked
As per the leaks, the biggest highlight of the OnePlus 16 could be its ultra-high refresh rate display. Reports suggest that the company is testing a refresh rate of more than 200Hz on this phone. Some inputs also claim that the maximum refresh rate could go up to 240Hz.
Apart from this, it has also been revealed that OnePlus is not only focusing on increasing the refresh rate, but is also trying to maintain the right balance between 1.5K resolution and a high refresh rate. For comparison, the current OnePlus 15 series offers a 165Hz refresh rate with 1.5K resolution.
However, with a 200Hz–240Hz refresh rate, the biggest challenges will be:
- Higher power consumption
- Maintaining battery efficiency
- Delivering stable performance over a long period
This is the reason why OnePlus is currently keeping this technology in the testing phase. By the way, what do you think—what other new features could be seen in the OnePlus 16, or will OnePlus stick to the features that have been revealed in the leaks?
OnePlus 16 Camera Details (Leaked)
This time, OnePlus could also take a big step forward in the camera department with the OnePlus 16. According to leaks, the phone may feature a 200MP primary camera sensor, which would be the biggest camera upgrade ever on a OnePlus smartphone.
The expected triple rear camera setup could be something like this:
- 200MP main camera
- 50MP secondary camera
- 50MP third camera
When it comes to imaging strategy, OnePlus may adopt an approach similar to upcoming Oppo flagship models, where the focus is on advanced image processing along with high-resolution sensors.
Performance & Hardware (Expected)
For performance, the OnePlus 16 is expected to feature a next-generation flagship chipset, which has been referred to in leaks as the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6. This processor is expected to launch around September 2026.
To support the ultra-high refresh rate display, the phone could be equipped with a large-capacity battery. For reference, the OnePlus 15 comes with a 7,300mAh battery, so the OnePlus 16 could also feature a battery around the same size or even larger.
OnePlus 16 Launch Timeline (Expected)
Now let’s talk about when the OnePlus 16 might launch. So far, no official information regarding the launch has been revealed, but according to leaks:
- China launch: October 2026 (expected)
- Official confirmation: Not yet
It is worth mentioning that OnePlus is currently fully focused on the OnePlus Turbo 6 series, which is expected to launch in January 2026. Only after that are more concrete details about the OnePlus 16 likely to emerge.
Overall…
The early leaks related to the OnePlus 16 clearly indicate that the company is preparing to take display technology and camera hardware to a new level in its next flagship. If features like a 200Hz+ refresh rate display and a 200MP camera make it to the final product, the OnePlus 16 could bring a major change to the flagship segment.
However, all this information is currently based on early leaks and rumours. As more new and reliable details emerge, we at Phone Jagat will bring you every update related to the OnePlus 16 first.
