The OnePlus 16 has cleared China’s 3C certification with support for 100W wired charging, giving the next flagship a confirmed charging detail ahead of its expected October launch in China. OnePlus has not announced the phone or confirmed UAE availability.
The certification covers model PYB110. It follows earlier SRRC and Ministry of Industry and Information Technology approvals, which reportedly showed support for the N79 5G band. Gizmochina reports that the 3C filing confirms the 100W charging rating.
The 100W figure is the clearest fact to emerge from the filing. The rest of the current specification picture comes from leaks, including a 9,000mAh typical battery, an 8,780mAh rated capacity and 50W wireless charging. PhoneArena’s current OnePlus 16 specification tracker lists the same battery and charging expectations, but the phone’s final specifications remain unconfirmed.
OnePlus 16 charging and battery details
The reported battery would be a substantial increase over the OnePlus 15’s 7,300mAh cell, while 100W wired charging would keep the newer phone in the same broad charging class as its predecessor. A dual-cell design is also claimed, although that detail comes from the leak rather than the 3C record.
Digital Chat Station has also claimed a 200MP main camera, a 50MP ultra-wide, a 50MP periscope camera and a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro processor. OnePlus has previously confirmed a 165Hz global display refresh rate for the phone, with some gaming scenarios reaching 185Hz. Those details are separate from the certification and should not be treated as filing-confirmed hardware.
When will the OnePlus 16 launch?
The current reporting points to an October China launch, but OnePlus has not published a date. PhoneArena says the phone is not expected to reach Europe or North America, while a UAE launch, price and local retailer listing have not been confirmed. The existing OnePlus 16 display report on tbreak covers the separate 165Hz leak, and this certification adds a dated charging milestone rather than repeating that display claim.
For UAE buyers, the practical position is unchanged: there is no confirmed local price or release date. Our OnePlus 15 launch coverage documents the previous model’s UAE timing, but it does not establish a rollout for the OnePlus 16. The 3C approval shows that the China launch process is moving forward, but it does not establish a UAE rollout.
