Even though OnePlus 15 was launched just a few months ago, early leaks about its successor have already started generating buzz. The latest reports suggest that the upcoming OnePlus 16 could introduce a major battery upgrade, potentially setting a new benchmark in flagship smartphones.
If the rumors are accurate, OnePlus may be preparing its most power-packed device to date.
OnePlus 16 Could Feature a 9,000mAh Battery
According to a well-known tipster, the OnePlus 16 is expected to come with a massive 9,000mAh battery.
For comparison:
-
OnePlus 15 battery: 7,300mAh
-
Charging support: 120W fast charging
A jump of this scale would be significant, especially for users who prioritize long battery life for gaming, video streaming, and daily heavy usage.
Possible Connection With Turbo 6 Series
Earlier this month, OnePlus launched the OnePlus Turbo 6 and Turbo 6V, both featuring:
-
9,000mAh battery
-
80W fast charging
Because of this, industry observers believe OnePlus could reuse the same battery technology in the OnePlus 16, refining it further for a premium flagship experience.
Expected Launch Timeline
Leaks suggest that the OnePlus 16 may debut in China around October, following the company’s usual release cycle.
As with previous models, a global launch — including Pakistan — could follow shortly after.
Other Rumored Specifications
In addition to the battery upgrade, separate leaks hint at some bold hardware choices:
-
200MP rear camera sensor
-
Highest refresh-rate display ever used on a smartphone
-
Flagship-level performance upgrades
However, it’s important to note that OnePlus has not officially confirmed any of these specifications yet.
Why This Matters for Pakistani Users
Battery life remains one of the biggest concerns for smartphone users in Pakistan, where power users often rely on their phones throughout the day.
A 9,000mAh flagship could appeal strongly to:
-
Mobile gamers
-
Content creators
-
Business and remote workers
-
Users facing frequent power outages
If confirmed, this could make the OnePlus 16 one of the most practical flagship phones in the market.
