OnePlus's next flagship is expected to offer one of the cleanest and most immersive screen experiences in the Android flagship space.
According to Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station, the OnePlus 16 will have the narrowest bezels in OnePlus's flagship lineup.
The leaker indicated ultra-slim edges on all four sides, with a custom screen delivering a clear and sharp viewing experience.
This builds on earlier reports suggesting the OnePlus 16 would be the first phone to use a new generation of Oriental Screen.
That panel is said to be the industry's first to support a full 165Hz ultra-high refresh rate across the whole system, not just in games.
Everyday scrolling and animations should feel smoother, and the phone is expected to launch with ColorOS 17, which includes new system animations tuned for that high-refresh display.
On the performance side, OnePlus has already confirmed some details officially.
At the Qualcomm Snapdragon Gaming Technology Awards on July 30, OnePlus China President Li Jie discussed collaborative gaming tech.
Three of OnePlus's exclusive gaming features are getting full upgrades and will debut on the OnePlus 16.
The materials and photos shared pointed to support for a 165Hz high refresh rate, with some game testing going even higher.
This is reportedly enabled by an overclocked display controller and dedicated co-processing hardware, alongside game-centric kernel optimization and a triple-core e-sports processor setup.
The goal is smoother gameplay, lower latency, and more consistent high frame rates.
Full official specs still aren't out, and the phone is still a few months away.
Some reports point to an October launch in China.
Between the consistent leaks and what OnePlus itself has already revealed, it's clear the company is focusing on display quality and fluid performance.
