According to a new rumor from Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the OnePlus 16's screen will have a 185Hz refresh rate. The company was previously rumored to be testing going up to 240Hz, but it allegedly cancelled those plans as such a high refresh rate "could affect the display" and "may not be feasible for widespread adoption" (both phrases machine translated from Chinese, so there might be some accuracy issues).
The display panel itself has already been ordered from China's BOE, and it will be a 6.78-inch size with "1.5K" resolution. Compared to the OnePlus 15's screen, it has higher brightness, a wider color gamut, and lower power consumption. It will also come with the narrowest symmetrical bezels ever seen on a OnePlus device, each measuring less than 1mm.
OnePlus 15
The OnePlus 16 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro SoC, Qualcomm's upcoming top dog for the latter part of the year. The phone is said to have a 9,000 mAh battery too. OnePlus is now rumored to be launching the 16 in September.

I Still don't understand why anyone is getting excited about the OnePlus 16 as it's only going to be sold in China .. 🤦 We can say how good it looks but no one outside china will get it .. Even if you want to import it from China it ...
