OnePlus 16 could get a display that finally puts Samsung on notice
A new leak claims the OnePlus 16's BOE X4 display sips less power, lasts twice as long, and might just outshine Samsung's best panels.
OnePlus is set to unveil the OnePlus 16, and leaked details suggest the device's display could be a standout feature. Digital Chat Station claims OnePlus and BOE have collaborated on a new X4 light-emitting material for the device's screen. This material promises lower power consumption, increased longevity, and thinner bezels on all sides, marking significant improvements over the X3 panel used in the OnePlus 15.
According to the leak, the new X4 panel even outperforms Samsung's M-series screens across most metrics. OnePlus China president Li Jie has confirmed the display will maintain a 185Hz refresh rate, while the phone is expected to carry over gaming features like the Fengchi gaming engine and e-sports triple core technology from the OnePlus 15.
The OnePlus 16 has received SRRC certification in China under the model number PYB110, indicating a likely launch soon after. The device will boast a 6.78-inch display, a 9,000mAh battery, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chip, LPDDR6 RAM, and a 200MP camera setup, with a rumored price starting above $800. However, this lineup is unlikely to reach Western markets, as OnePlus has already exited North American and European territories.
Meanwhile, Google showcased its HiLight feature at the Pixel 11 announcement, which includes a temperature sensor capable of measuring body temperature. Samsung may be preparing a major visual overhaul for One UI, with early leaks hinting at a more glass-like design, transparency, and enhanced visual depth in the upcoming One UI 9.5.
