This upcoming flagship could react to taps and tilts faster than ever

TL;DR

• The OnePlus 16 could feature a new Lingxi touch chip with a 520Hz multi-finger touch sampling rate.
• Its gyroscope could sample movement at 800Hz, potentially improving responsiveness and precision in racing and shooting games.
• OnePlus is reportedly tuning the phone with FPS game studios and esports players, but the flagship isn?t expected to be sold in North America.

It?s that time of the year again. The OnePlus 15 made its official debut in China in October last year, before being rolled out globally in November. Now, with its successor likely not too far behind, leaks surrounding the OnePlus 16 are starting to pick up pace ? and the latest one suggests that the upcoming flagship could be a gaming beast.

We already know that the OnePlus 16 could have the thinnest bezels of any OnePlus phone, alongside a 9,000mAh battery and a true 165Hz display. That?s what makes the latest leak a lot more enticing and disappointing at the same time. The OnePlus 16 isn?t coming to the US, and if the latest leak is accurate, American buyers could be missing out on a gaming-focused flagship.
