The alleged OnePlus 16 appears to be moving closer to its expected launch with a new Oppo-linked smartphone receiving network access certification in China. Here’s more on what we know.

OnePlus 16 Bags China’s SRRC Certification

The phone carries the model number PYB110 and has also been spotted with support for the N79 5G band. Well-known tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo claims that the certified device is the upcoming OnePlus 16.

According to the tipster, the smartphone will be one of only two phones in the series to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset.

Digital Chat Station had previously revealed that a smartphone powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro was scheduled to launch in October. The information was widely believed to be referring to the OnePlus 16 and the latest certification adds further weight to those claims.

However, the exact identity of the PYB110 has not yet been officially confirmed. OnePlus has also not announced the OnePlus 16 or revealed its launch date.

OnePlus 16 – What Else We Know So Far?

According to the latest leak, engineering samples of the OnePlus 16 are still using a 6.78-inch LIPO flat display with ultra-narrow bezels. LIPO refers to a manufacturing and packaging process that helps reduce the size of the bezels and pushes them closer to the edges of the screen.

The phone could also bring a notable design change. An early teaser has reportedly hinted at the return of a circular camera island on the rear.

At the Qualcomm Snapdragon Gaming Technology Awards held on July 30, OnePlus China President Li Jie confirmed that three of the company’s exclusive gaming technologies will receive a major upgrade and debut with the OnePlus 16.

The materials shown during the event reportedly pointed towards a 165Hz high-refresh-rate display, a fast gaming kernel and a triple-core e-sports processor setup. These upgrades are expected to further improve the phone’s gaming performance.

The complete specifications of the OnePlus 16 are still unknown and there is no official confirmation yet that the PYB110 certification belongs to the upcoming flagship.

As for the launch timeline, multiple hints make an October launch appear possible. More details about the OnePlus 16 are expected to emerge as the launch gets closer.
