OnePlus 16 packs extreme display and battery specs you can’t buy in the US

The OnePlus 16 is an upcoming flagship device that will be launched in China on October 12, but it will not be released in the United States or European markets. OnePlus has confirmed that the device will feature a massive 9,000mAh battery and an ultra-fast 185Hz display, which is a first for smartphones. The phone's display is powered by BOE's X4 display, which supports a system-wide 165Hz refresh rate that can boost to 185Hz in select games.

This high refresh rate is designed to provide a smoother and more fluid visual experience for users. In addition to the display, the OnePlus 16 also comes with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging capabilities, which is a significant upgrade from previous OnePlus models. The phone is set to launch with a power management chip that is designed to maintain battery health for up to five years.

Despite these impressive specs, OnePlus has decided to exit the US and EU markets, leaving the device exclusive to China.
