JAKARTA - OnePlus' ambition to return to the camera sector seems to be getting more serious. The latest leak reveals that OnePlus 16 will bring major improvements in the photography sector, including the use of a 200MP periscope telephoto camera - a figure that is clearly not a joke.
This information first surfaced from the leaker "Smart Pikachu" on Weibo, who said that OnePlus is currently testing a 200MP sensor that was previously associated with a Realme device. The sensor is suspected to be the Samsung ISOCELL HP5, which has also been used on several Realme flagship phones.
If this leak is accurate, the OnePlus 16 will bring a periscope camera with very high resolution, allowing long-distance zoom with sharp details - an area that has been a weak point for OnePlus compared to its rivals.
Not only that, the OnePlus 16 camera configuration is said to be equipped with two additional sensors, each 50MP for the main camera and ultra-wide. This combination forms a more balanced triple camera system, with a strong focus on photographic flexibility.
Outside the camera sector, the OnePlus 16 is also predicted to bring significant improvements in performance. This device is likely to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset based on a 2nm fabrication process, which promises better power efficiency as well as improved AI and gaming performance.
To support this performance, OnePlus is rumored to use LPDDR6 RAM - the latest generation that offers higher bandwidth than the current standard. This means multitasking is smoother and AI processing on the device can run faster.
In terms of screen, the OnePlus 16 is said to carry a 1.5K resolution with a high refresh rate, even potentially touching the 200Hz or more. If realized, this could be one of the most responsive screens in its class.
Other features that are also prepared include an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and the OxygenOS 17 operating system based on Android 17.
However, this increase in specifications is likely to have an impact on the price. Initial estimates put the price starting at around 5,000 yuan or the equivalent of Rp. 11 million. OnePlus 16 is expected to launch in China in October, before being released globally in November.
OnePlus' ambition to return to competing in the camera sector seems to be getting more serious. The latest leaks reveal that OnePlus 16 will bring major improvements in the photography sector, including the use of a 200MP periscope telephoto camera - a figure that is clearly not a joke.
