Upcoming OnePlus Phones: – With so many names being bandied around, it can be hard to know what is actually true. OnePlus has withdrawn from North America and Europe, and it hasn’t even confirmed any new phones in India. That said, we do have some reports from tipsters, model number registrations and a couple of phones launching elsewhere. Here’s the current state of play.
OnePlus 16 and 16R – The Flagships Coming To India
Although the OnePlus 16 has officially launched in China, there has been no confirmation of it launching in India or OnePlus 16R. However, it is very likely that the OnePlus 16R will make it to India and the OnePlus 16 could be a second flagship device. The latest tips suggest it will be launching in December 2026/early 2027. Some reports are claiming it could be a rebrand of the Ace 7. A couple of model numbers (CPH2901/CPH2903/CPH2905) have been seen in testing with global software, however this is one of the few things that is more than just one person’s claims. However, OnePlus has stated the company will continue to operate in India as normal.
OnePlus 16T
This has been mentioned on some lists for around ₹62,990, however reports are claiming it could be a rebranded OPPO compact phone. As such we should consider this as unconfirmed.
OnePlus Ace 7 & Ace 7 Pro – Launched In China
The Ace 7 and Ace 7 Pro were launched in China on October 29. The phones feature 9,000mAh batteries, 100W fast charging and dual airflow cooling fans. There has been no confirmation these are making it to India and their prices are listed as TBD on some lists. If the OnePlus 16R is based upon the Ace 7 then this is where it ties in.
Ace 6T – Becoming The OnePlus 15R
The Ace 6T will be launching in China on December 3rd and will be sold as the OnePlus 15R in other regions. It features the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip, 16GB RAM, 165Hz AMOLED screen and 8,000mAh battery (with 100W fast charging). The OnePlus 15R will be launching globally on December 17th according to some reports, however it isn’t confirmed for India.
What To Do
If you need a OnePlus phone now then the safest bet is to go for the OnePlus 15 and Nord 6. However if you’re waiting for the next flagship devices then we recommend waiting for the official announcement from OnePlus India. Everything on these lists should be considered as estimates.
