A new leak about OnePlus 16 calls into question the previously discussed information about the camera system of the smartphone. It was previously suggested that the device would come with a 50-megapixel main camera and a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. The latest information shared by Chinese leak source Digital Chat Station shows that this configuration may be different.
According to the new claim, OnePlus 16 will be equipped with a main camera with a resolution of 200 megapixels. In addition, the device will have a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera. Thus, the previously mentioned 200 megapixel telephoto camera claim has been replaced by a high-resolution main sensor scenario. However, at this stage it does not seem possible to verify which information is closer to the truth.
Recently, various rumors have come to the fore that OnePlus is working on different prototypes during the development process. For this reason, it is possible that information about different hardware configurations was leaked at the same time. The fact that the company has not yet decided on the final technical specifications is considered to be one of the factors that can explain the emergence of contradictory leaks.
OnePlus’s new flagship model draws attention not only with its camera but also with its other technical features. Previous reports had suggested that the device would be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro processor, which has not been announced yet. The chipset in question is expected to be used in the next generation upper segment Android phones. However, official information about the processor has not been shared yet.
OnePlus 16 looks assertive on the screen and battery side too
According to the information in the leaks, OnePlus 16 will come with a 6.78-inch LTPO OLED screen produced by BOE. It is claimed that the screen will have a refresh rate of 185 Hz, and in some scenarios this value can go up to 240 Hz. Considering that 120 Hz panels are still widely used in the smartphone market, a refresh rate of this level could be a remarkable development. However, it should be noted that this information has not been confirmed yet.
It is said that symmetrical frames with a thickness of approximately 1 mm will be preferred in screen design. This approach can offer a more balanced appearance while increasing the screen-to-body ratio. On the other hand, it is known that OnePlus has paid special attention to screen quality in its flagship models in recent years, and this line is expected to be continued in the new model.
The claims made on the battery side are also quite remarkable. It is said that OnePlus 16 may come with a 9,000 mAh battery. In addition, it is stated that the device will support 120 W wired and 50 W wireless charging. If this information turns out to be true, OnePlus 16 can surpass many of its competitors in its class in terms of battery capacity. However, since there is still a long time until the launch of the device, it is important to remember that all available information is from leaks and may change with the official announcement. For now, the information revealed about OnePlus 16 reveals a remarkable picture, especially regarding the camera system and battery capacity.
