OnePlus recently announced plans to exit North America and Europe, following months of rumors about the brand’s fate. The company is focusing on China instead, and it’s still working on the OnePlus 16. Now, new leaks have revealed more information about this upcoming flagship.
Leaker Digital Chat Station recently revealed more design-related details regarding the apparent OnePlus 16. The tipster claimed the phone’s overall design direction remains unchanged compared to the OnePlus 15. You can specifically expect a 6.78-inch screen with “ultra-narrow” bezels as well as a small, square camera bump. Check out the machine-translated screenshot below.
Weibo/Digital Chat StationI certainly wouldn’t complain if the OnePlus 16 had a similar design to the previous model. The OnePlus 15 offered a fresh design in the first place, following the circular camera bumps seen on prior models.
We already know the OnePlus 16 won’t be available in North America or Europe, but there’s also bad news for India. Tipster Yogesh Brar has claimed that the OnePlus 16 and IQOO 16 are both “DOA” (dead on arrival) in India. This strongly suggests that the phone and future OnePlus flagships won’t be available in this market, either.
Otherwise, previous OnePlus 16 leaks point to a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset, a 200MP telephoto camera, and a 9,000mAh battery. It certainly sounds like an impressive Android flagship, so it’s a pity that it won’t be available in more markets.
