A Weibo post by Digital Chat Station says the phone may use Qualcomm's SM8975 chip, a 200MP periscope camera and a battery up to 9,000mAh.
The leak also points to a BOE flat LTPO display with ultra-high refresh rate, possibly up to 240Hz, plus roughly 1mm bezels, dual speakers, water resistance and an AI button.
The handset is reportedly being tested for an October launch in China and could ship with OxygenOS 17 based on Android 17, though OnePlus has not officially confirmed any details.
With extreme specs and soaring costs, is the OnePlus 16 a bold comeback or the brand's final expensive gamble?
