OnePlus has revealed the design, color lineup and memory configurations for the OnePlus 16, its next flagship smartphone for China. The handset is not planned for a global release, following OnePlus’ confirmed withdrawal from European and North American markets.
The OnePlus 16 retains a broadly familiar look compared with the OnePlus 15, with the main visual changes coming through its finishes. Two of the new finishes, Mars Masterpiece and Tomorrow Starlight, add a distinct pattern to the rear panel.
- Dark Forest: black finish
- Mars Masterpiece: light orange finish with a patterned rear panel
- Tomorrow Starlight: gray finish with a patterned rear panel
OnePlus has also confirmed up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, alongside a 165Hz refresh rate across the system.
- 12GB RAM with 256GB of storage
- 12GB RAM with 512GB of storage
- 16GB RAM with 512GB of storage
- 16GB RAM with 1TB of storage
Other specifications remain in rumor territory. The OnePlus 16 is said to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset, a 6.78-inch AMOLED display, a 200-megapixel main rear camera and a 9,000mAh battery with fast charging. Android 17 with ColorOS 17 is also rumored.
OnePlus has yet to announce a launch date or confirm those remaining hardware details. With no international rollout planned, the official launch will be the next opportunity to establish how much of the rumored specification sheet holds up.
