Overview

  • Official images reveal the Sand Dune/Sand Storm finish, a square triple‑camera module, 1.15mm uniform bezels, a new Plus Key, and an aerospace‑grade nano‑ceramic metal midframe with OnePlus touting higher durability and heat dissipation.
  • OnePlus confirms Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Android 16‑based ColorOS/OxygenOS 16, positioning the phone for performance and gaming with a 165Hz display.
  • The Hasselblad co‑branding is being replaced by OnePlus’s own DetailMax imaging engine, marking a shift to in‑house camera processing.
  • A teaser image showing October 27 is widely interpreted as the China launch date, with pre‑orders already open; multiple reports expect a staggered global rollout, with India likely in early 2026, though dates are not official.
  • An official unboxing video shows a charger, USB‑C cable, case and SIM tray in the box; battery capacity and charging speeds remain unconfirmed despite leaks suggesting a 7,000mAh‑plus pack with 100–120W wired charging.
