OnePlus has officially pulled the curtain back on its new flagship, the OnePlus 16, at a launch event in China. The device was generating buzz from the moment it appeared thanks to its headline hardware numbers, and the full spec sheet backs up the hype.
Design-wise, the front features a punch-hole display, while the rear is dominated by a triple camera module positioned in the top-left corner. The gray color option also gets a glossy section bearing the device's name. For now, the model is being produced exclusively for the Chinese market.

Performance duties fall to Qualcomm's newest flagship chip, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, which is paired with 12 GB or 16 GB of RAM and storage options of up to 1 TB.
Cameras and battery
On the back, a triple setup combines a 200 MP main camera with a 1/1.4-inch sensor, a 50 MP telephoto module capable of 3x optical zoom and a 50 MP ultrawide sensor. Up front, a 50 MP camera takes care of selfies. Supporting all of this hardware is a giant 9,000 mAh battery with 100W fast charging. On the software side, the phone ships with OxygenOS 17, based on Android 17.

The OnePlus 16 will be available in three different color options. The entry-level model starts at $896, while the top-tier version with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage will cost you $1,270.
