OnePlus is reportedly working on a new compact flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 16T, with early leaks revealing potential display and chipset details ahead of its expected debut. The device has not been officially confirmed by OnePlus, and all current information is based on industry leaks and tipster reports.

According to well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, the company is testing the OnePlus 16T with Qualcomm’s unannounced Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 processor. The chipset is expected to be built on an advanced 2-nanometre process and could bring significant improvements in performance and power efficiency compared to current-generation flagship processors.

The leak further suggests that the upcoming device may feature a 6.3-inch display with a high refresh rate, continuing OnePlus’s focus on compact premium smartphones. While additional specifications remain unconfirmed, the handset is expected to build on the design philosophy of delivering high-end performance in a smaller form factor.
