TL;DR

OnePlus has officially confirmed that the OnePlus 16 is in the works.

The company says you should expect a 165Hz screen and a few other gaming-focused technologies.

OnePlus says the OnePlus 16 will launch later this year, with a previous leak pointing to October.

OnePlus recently announced that it was pulling out of North America and Europe , but that hasn’t stopped the brand from readying its first post-exit flagship phone. We’ve already seen plenty of OnePlus 16 leaks, but the firm has now formally acknowledged the phone’s existence, while revealing a few details.

OnePlus executive Liu Baoyou attended the Snapdragon Gaming Technology Awards in China (h/t: OnePlus Weibo ) and used the occasion to confirm that the OnePlus 16 was indeed coming. An accompanying slide also revealed that the phone will have a 165Hz screen. Check out the machine-translated slide below.
