The OnePlus 16 launched in China in October, and since OnePlus officially exited Europe and North America back in July while saying it would continue in India, its fans there may have been wondering when the new flagship will make it to their country.
According to a tipster on X, the OnePlus 16 is indeed being prepared for India, but its launch over there isn’t confirmed yet. The final decision will reportedly depend on how well the Oppo Find X10 sells there, with the company set to look at its sales report before deciding whether to bring the OnePlus 16 over or not. That’s also why it’s taking it a while to confirm anything.
The Find X10 arrived in India in October, and it costs INR139,999 (about $1,488) for the 12/256GB version. Since both brands are part of the same family, it’s easy to see why the company wouldn’t want two of its flagships competing for the same buyers, though that’s just our guess as to the reasoning here.
The OnePlus 16 comes with a 6.78-inch 1272×2772 LTPO AMOLED screen with a 165Hz refresh rate (185Hz in supported games), the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset, up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, a 200MP main camera with OIS, a 50MP periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom, a 50MP ultrawide with autofocus, a 50MP selfie camera, a 9,000 mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging, IP66/IP68/IP69/IP69K ratings, and ColorOS 17 based on Android 17. In China, pricing starts at CNY 5,999 (about $897).
