Leaks from tipster _Digital Chat Station_ suggest the upcoming OnePlus 16 will feature a display refresh rate of 185Hz. The source indicates that pushing the frequency higher, potentially into the 200Hz range or beyond, could compromise screen quality and practicality. This specific figure likely represents the final shipped specification rather than a theoretical maximum.
Leaked specs point to a BOE panel with under 1mm borders for the upcoming flagship
The device is built around Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro processor. It will feature a 6.78-inch 1.5K display panel manufactured by BOE. Reports indicate the screen bezels will be less than 1mm wide on all four sides.
The OnePlus 16 targets a China debut in the final quarter of 2026. Official pricing information has not yet been announced for the device. The identification of the phone as the OnePlus 16 relies on matching these leaked hardware details with previous reports about the model.
We touched on OnePlus 15 Display Specs: 1.5K OLED and 16… in our earlier Oneplus coverage. That previous generation utilized a 165Hz refresh rate, making the reported jump to 185Hz for the next model a modest but noticeable upgrade.
