The OnePlus 16 is expected to go official later this year. As it is known, the OnePlus 15 was criticized for featuring subpar cameras, and recent reports surrounding the OnePlus 16 suggest that it will arrive with a major upgrade in the camera department. In particular, the device will be equipped with a new 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. A recent Weibo post by tipster Smart Pikachu has revealed the sensor that will power this camera.
OnePlus 16 could borrow Relame’s 200MP camera
According to a Weibo post by tipster Smart Pikachu, the OnePlus 16 could feature a 200-megapixel camera that’s associated with Realme. For those unfamiliar, Realme has already launched a couple of phones with 200-megapixel cameras, such as the Realme GT 8 Pro, Realme 16 Pro, and 16 Pro+.
All these Realme phones are equipped with the Samsung HP5 sensor for the 200-megapixel camera. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the OnePlus 16 may also feature a Samsung HP5 periscope telephoto camera.
As far as other cameras are concerned, reports have revealed that the OnePlus 16’s rear-facing triple camera setup will have a 50-megapixel main camera and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens. For selfies, it may feature a 32-megapixel front camera.
On the front, it may feature a 1.5K resolution OLED panel with support for 200Hz or 240Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it could be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, which will have support for LPDDR6 RAM. It is expected to have a massive 9,000mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging support.
