The OnePlus 16 could bring a 200MP main camera, a 50MP Sony periscope telephoto lens and a 50MP autofocus selfie camera, according to a new leak reported by Gizmochina. The phone is expected to be announced in China by early October, but OnePlus has not confirmed the device or its camera hardware.
The report says the main camera will use a 1/1.4-inch 200MP sensor, while the 3x periscope telephoto camera will use a 1/1.95-inch Sony sensor. A new 50MP ultrawide camera would complete the rear setup.
OnePlus 16 camera leak changes the rumour picture
The same leak claims a 50MP autofocus front camera. Autofocus could help keep faces sharp at different distances, although the specification alone says nothing about image quality in practice.
The report conflicts with earlier coverage. 91mobiles reported a different Digital Chat Station claim involving a 200MP periscope camera and a 50MP main sensor. GSM Arena also noted in June that the OnePlus 16 camera leaks were pointing in different directions.
OnePlus is also expected to use a high-refresh-rate display and a large battery. Those claims remain unconfirmed, as does the camera setup. Tbreak’s earlier OnePlus 16 report covers the display and gaming rumours separately.
When will the OnePlus 16 launch?
Gizmochina says the OnePlus 16 is expected to be announced in China by early October. No global or UAE launch date, price or availability has been confirmed, so local shoppers have no official figure to work from yet.
A 200MP main sensor would give the OnePlus 16 a different camera emphasis from the earlier 200MP telephoto rumour. The hardware list may change again before launch; for now, this is a leak from Digital Chat Station rather than a OnePlus specification sheet.
