A Weibo post from a leaker suggests that the upcoming OnePlus 16 will feature the yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro processor. The phone is expected to sport a 6.78-inch LIPO display with extremely narrow and consistent bezels.
The informant believes that the OnePlus 16 will retain the overall design of its predecessor, the OnePlus 15, including flat surfaces and a square camera module.

The OnePlus 16 is anticipated to be launched in October 2026, mirroring the late 2025 release of the OnePlus 15.
Further down in the conversation thread, the leaker mentions that the OnePlus 16 will be equipped with a substantial 9000mAh battery.
In essence, the OnePlus 16 aims to enhance the performance and battery life that distinguished the OnePlus 15.
However, there is no information regarding the phone’s camera setup, which was a notable drawback of the OnePlus 15, as its triple camera setup was largely seen as a step back from the OnePlus 13.
