Recent leaks, along with reports and comments from OnePlus China general manager Liu Baoyou, point to a <strong>system-wide 165Hz<\/strong> display and a bigger push into gaming.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The standout rumor is the refresh rate. From what these leaks and reports suggest, <strong>165Hz would apply across<\/strong> the system, including UI animations and more apps, rather than being limited to just a small number of games.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If that pans out, it would address the compromise tied to the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-long-does-the-battery-of-the-new-oneplus-15-last\" rel=\"noopener\">OnePlus 15<\/a>. That phone reportedly went with a <strong>1.5K 165Hz panel<\/strong> because the materials and circuit technology available at the time couldn&#8217;t reliably combine QHD+ with 165Hz. The 185Hz talk is still speculative in the current round of leaks. There&#8217;s also mention of a new BOE X4 material, reportedly co-developed with OnePlus, that could be more efficient and possibly even tougher than Samsung&#8217;s M-series panels. That matters if you&#8217;re trying to run ultra-high refresh rates without draining battery life during longer sessions.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you play a lot on your phone, this could be one to wait for. Liu Baoyou has also confirmed the development of <strong>Wind Chaser Gaming Core<\/strong> and E-Sports Triple Chip, which makes it sound like OnePlus is building an actual gaming flagship, not just a regular flagship with a few gaming features added on.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other leaks point to a <strong>9,000mAh battery<\/strong>, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, LPDDR6, and a 200MP main camera. That would be a step up from the OnePlus 15&#8217;s reported 7,300mAh battery.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The downside is availability. Based on the current leaks, the OnePlus 16 will probably be limited to China and India, with <strong>no release expected<\/strong> in North America or Europe.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The OnePlus 16 is expected to arrive in late 2026.
