OnePlus 16 looks ready to impress, but its biggest problem isn't the hardware

Leaks suggest the OnePlus 16 will look much like the OnePlus 15, keeping a flat 6.78-inch display and a square camera module.

The launch is now expected in October rather than September, with reported upgrades including a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chip and a 9,000mAh battery.

A 200MP telephoto camera and other premium specs could make it a standout flagship, but it may skip North America and Europe.
