Overview
- OnePlus publicly revealed the OnePlus 16's exterior look and three color options on Monday, naming Dark Forest, Martian Masterpiece, and Tomorrow's Starlight.
- A Geekbench listing that surfaced alongside the reveal shows 3,073 single-core and 11,093 multi-core scores, and lists 16GB of RAM and Android 17, which suggests the phone will use a top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro style chipset.
- Times Now and OnePlus materials report that the Tomorrow's Starlight model includes an 'Interstellar Lightning Effect,' a lighting feature built into the rear panel for notifications.
- Earlier leaks compiled by multiple outlets claim a 6.78-inch BOE X4 165Hz OLED, very large battery and fast charging, and high-resolution cameras, but those hardware details remain unconfirmed by OnePlus.
- The company is expected to launch the phone in China in late September or October, and limited global availability and regional software variations could restrict who can buy the device outside China.
