Leaked pricing for the upcoming OnePlus 16 reveals a return to more accessible memory configurations for the Chinese market. The base model starts at CNY 4,999 (around $739), marking the first time an 8GB RAM option has appeared on a flagship OnePlus device since the OnePlus 11. Including the 8GB RAM option may help the device appeal to a wider range of buyers.
