Credible leaks indicate a move to OnePlus’s DetailMax camera engine paired with a markedly larger battery focus.

Overview

  • Reports point to a China debut on October 27 and a global rollout, including India, on November 13, though OnePlus has not published the final schedule.
  • OnePlus has confirmed the handset and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 platform, and it has revealed a Sand Storm finish.
  • Leaked specifications describe a 6.78-inch 1.5K BOE X3 LTPO AMOLED display with a 1–165Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision and Pro XDR support, and up to 1,800 nits peak brightness.
  • Multiple reports indicate a roughly 7,300 mAh battery with 120W wired and 50W wireless charging, positioning endurance as a headline upgrade.
