According to the tip, the base model will feature 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, priced at CNY 4,999 (around $740).
This marks a return to an 8GB option, which OnePlus hasn't offered on its flagship line since the OnePlus 11 in 2023.
Expected Storage Variants and Prices
- 12GB/256GB: CNY 5,499 (~$815)
- 12GB/512GB: CNY 5,999 (~$888)
- 16GB/1TB (limited edition): CNY 7,499 (~$1,110)
The source also claims there won't be a 24GB RAM option this time.

For comparison, the OnePlus 15 launched in China at lower prices: 12GB+256GB for CNY 3,999 (~$560), 12GB+512GB for CNY 4,299 (~$600), 16GB+256GB for CNY 4,599 (~$645), 16GB+512GB for CNY 4,899 (~$690), and 16GB+1TB for CNY 5,399 (~$760).
Memory prices have risen significantly over the past year, likely contributing to the higher starting prices.
On the hardware front, earlier reports suggest the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset, built on a 2nm process.
The display is rumored to be a 6.78-inch flat OLED with 1.5K resolution and a refresh rate up to 185Hz.

Battery capacity may approach 9,000mAh, and the rear cameras could include a 200-megapixel main sensor, a 50-megapixel ultrawide, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom.
Availability seems limited.
OnePlus has confirmed it won't launch new products in North America or Europe, and recent signs suggest the OnePlus 16 might skip India.
