OnePlus 16 Display Leak: New BOE X4 Panel Could Bring Thinner Bezels and Better Efficiency

The OnePlus 16 is expected to make its official debut later this year as the successor to the OnePlus 15. According to a recent leak from China, OnePlus is working with BOE on a customised X4 light-emitting material for the upcoming smartphone’s display. The new material is reportedly more power-efficient than the X3 material used in the OnePlus 15 and could potentially offer up to twice the lifespan of the previous-generation panel. The display is also tipped to feature slimmer bezels on all four sides and a flat design.

Tipster Digital Chat Station has further claimed that internal testing suggests the X4 panel performs better than Samsung’s M-series luminescent material in several aspects. The OnePlus 16 is also rumoured to feature an 185Hz refresh rate and a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset. The base variant is reportedly expected to cost around CNY 4,999, or approximately ₹71,000, with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. These specifications, however, remain unconfirmed until OnePlus makes an official announcement.
