The OnePlus 16 has appeared on Geekbench 7 with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset, scoring 3,492 single-core and 11,950 multi-core points. However, it underperforms compared to Apple's A20 Pro in the iPhone 18 Pro Max, which exceeds 4,000 on single-core tests. The phone will feature 16GB RAM and Android 17.
OnePlus has opened reservations for the OnePlus 16 in China, featuring three colorways and storage options up to 1TB. The phone maintains a similar design to its predecessor with a square rear camera module and is expected to include Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset and a 9,000mAh battery, though availability outside China remains unlikely.
