The OnePlus 16 smartphone has officially launched. It’s an interesting device, but is there any reason to regret that it won't be arriving in Europe? Let's take a look!
The OnePlus 16 is powered by the most powerful processor in Qualcomm's latest lineup: the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6. The chip is supported by fast—though no longer the absolute fastest available—memory (LPDDR5X Ultra and UFS 4.1), while power is supplied by a dual-cell 9000 mAh battery supporting 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. The smartphone also stands out with its 6.78-inch display, featuring a resolution of 2772x1272 pixels and an impressive 165Hz refresh rate. The OLED screen supports a 10-bit color palette and offers peak brightness of up to 2000 nits (typical brightness: 1000 nits).
