OnePlus 16 Tipped to Pack Near-9,000mAh 'Glacier' Battery

The claim gains plausibility given OnePlus's Turbo 6 phones with 9,000mAh packs.

Overview

  • OnePlus Club, via Android Headlines, reports the next flagship may use a next‑generation Glacier Battery with capacity approaching 9,000mAh.
  • GSMArena notes January's Turbo 6 and 6V already feature 9,000mAh cells and 80W charging, indicating possible technology carryover.
  • The OnePlus 16 is expected to follow the company's usual cadence with a Q4 2026 debut, with China launch timing tipped for October.
  • Additional rumors mention a 200MP rear camera and an ultra‑high‑refresh flat display, but these specifications remain unverified.
  • Analysts describe a shift toward a more balanced flagship after criticism of the OnePlus 15's camera hardware, with chipset and software details still speculative.
