OnePlus 16 5G overview

OnePlus 16 5G is priced at KSh 130,000 in Kenya. It was announced on 12 October 2026. It is a high-end 5G smartphone that runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chip, and has a triple rear camera system led by a 200MP main camera. Up front is a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 1272 × 2772 resolution, 450ppi pixel density and a 185Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling. The panel supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and HDR Vivid and reaches up to 2,000 nits in high-brightness mode, so it stays easy to read outdoors. The screen uses 3840Hz PWM dimming and is protected by Crystal Shield Glass.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chip is built on a 2nm process and combines an octa-core CPU clocked at up to 5.01GHz with an Adreno 850 GPU. It comes with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB or 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage, depending on the version. There is no microSD card slot, so pick the storage size you need at purchase. It runs OnePlus's OxygenOS 17 on Android 17.

The 200MP f/1.6 main camera has optical image stabilisation and phase-detection autofocus. It is joined by a 50MP f/2.6 telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and a 50MP f/2.0 ultrawide camera with a 116-degree field of view. The rear cameras record 8K at 30fps, 4K at up to 120fps and 1080p at up to 240fps, with gyro-assisted electronic stabilisation to steady handheld footage. Video can be recorded in Dolby Vision HDR. For selfies and video calls there is a 50MP f/2.0 front camera, which records 4K at up to 60fps and 1080p at up to 60fps.

The OnePlus 16 5G runs on a 9,000mAh lithium-ion battery. It supports 100W wired charging with PPS, UFCS, USB Power Delivery and Quick Charge 5. The phone also offers 50W wireless charging and 5W reverse wired charging, so it can share power with other devices. The phone connects to 5G and 4G LTE networks and supports Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC and GPS. It has a USB-C (USB 3.2) port with OTG support, but no 3.5mm headphone jack. Audio comes from stereo speakers. The phone measures 161.4 × 76.7 × 8.5mm. It is built with an aluminium frame and a Crystal Shield Glass back, with a glass front. Colour options are Black, Silver and Orange. It carries IP68 and IP69K ratings for dust and water resistance. Unlocking uses an ultrasonic under-display fingerprint sensor.
