- OnePlus 16 is tipped to feature a 6.78-inch LTPO display with 1.5K resolution, supplied by BOE, per a Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station.
- The display may use "Low-Injection Pressure Overmolding" technology, yielding bezels measuring just 1mm — down from 1.15mm on the OnePlus 15's BOE X3 AMOLED screen — and supports the BT.2020 color gamut.
- The refresh rate is tipped at a minimum of 185Hz with a maximum potentially reaching 240Hz, putting it ahead of the leaked iQoo 16's 165Hz display.
- The OnePlus 16 is expected to run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, a Qualcomm flagship chipset reportedly built on a 2nm process.
- The camera setup may see upgrades including a new primary sensor and a 200MP periscope telephoto lens.
- The battery may grow to 9,000mAh — a 1,700mAh jump from the 7,300mAh cell in the OnePlus 15.
Why it matters: If the leaks hold, the OnePlus 16 would beat its closest rival (the iQoo 16) on refresh rate (185Hz minimum vs. 165Hz) and bezel thinness (1mm vs. 1.15mm), while packing a 9,000mAh battery that is 1,700mAh larger than its predecessor's — a spec-sheet flex aimed squarely at the premium flagship segment.
