Ahead of the OnePlus 16 launch, OnePlus China President Li Jie said the phone achieves top-tier gaming latency results, according to Gizmochina. He noted it is the first phone to feature OnePlus's self-developed 'G3 e-sports network chip,' designed for low-latency gaming.
The chip works with a new anti-interference e-sports antenna that remains stable even when the hand grips the antenna area. The phone also uses a 360-degree surround antenna design to keep signals reliable in crowded places like dorms, cafes, and subways.
The OnePlus 16 was set to launch on October 12 at 19:00 China time. Tipster @DigitalChatStation leaked a 6.78-inch 1.5K BOE X4 flat display with up to 185 Hz and a 165 Hz system-wide refresh rate, plus 1.15 mm equal bezels on all four sides.
Leaked cameras include a 50 MP front sensor and a rear trio of a 200 MP HPE main, 50 MP ultra-wide, and 50 MP IMX882 3x periscope telephoto. The phone is said to run on a Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme 6 with a 9,000 mAh battery supporting 100 W wired and 50 W wireless charging. Other leaked features include a large X-axis linear motor, master-level symmetrical dual speakers, a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, IP66/IP68/IP69/IP69K ratings, and USB 3.2 Gen1.
