TL;DR

• OnePlus might finally fix the disappointing aspect of its flagships.
• It could finally bring the camera on par with other flagships, especially by including a 200MP primary sensor.
• However, it’s unclear whether this is for the OnePlus 16 or any other phone.

OnePlus’ parent company, OPPO, has recently made significant strides with its flagship Find X series cameras, from using a large 200MP telephoto sensor to supporting external zoom lenses on the phone. Unfortunately, OnePlus has been deprived of these features, with the camera especially sidelined to improve performance in the latest OnePlus 15 and 15R phones. This, naturally, has drawn much criticism, which OnePlus now appears to be preparing to tackle with the next flagship — most likely, the OnePlus 16. While the launch of that supposed phone is still several months away, we’re already seeing early leaks, starting with speculation about the camera.

Last month, leaker Digital Chat Station predicted that OnePlus’ next flagship would feature an upgraded 200MP primary camera. Now, another leaker, Yogesh Brar, is highlighting details about the other sensors in the phone’s camera setup. According to Brar, the 200MP camera on the said flagship is expected to be joined by two 50MP cameras. One of these 50MP units is a 3.5x telephoto, leaving us to deduce that the other is a 50MP ultrawide-angle camera.
