The leak points to a small-screen phone powered by Qualcomm\u2019s next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The information comes from reliable tipster\u00a0Digital Chat Station, who claims OnePlus is currently testing a device with a\u00a06.3-inch flat display\u00a0and Qualcomm\u2019s unreleased flagship processor. While the phone wasn\u2019t named directly, the hardware suggests this could be the rumoured\u00a0OnePlus 16T and a real rival to the iPhone in terms of size.<\/p>\n<p>If accurate, the leak indicates that OnePlus isn\u2019t giving up on compact flagship phones anytime soon. This is despite reports that the company may cancel plans for a global launch of the\u00a0OnePlus 15s. The OnePlus 15s was expected to be an international version of the China-exclusive OnePlus 15T.<\/p>\n<p>Details beyond the screen size and chipset remain scarce. However, the use of Snapdragon\u2019s next flagship silicon suggests OnePlus is positioning the device as a true premium offering rather than a cut-down alternative.<\/p>\n<p>The reported processor, the\u00a0Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, is expected to be built on a\u00a02nm process, which could bring improvements to both performance and efficiency over current-generation flagship chips. However, Qualcomm has yet to officially announce the platform.<\/p>\n<p>\n        Advertisement    <\/p>\n<p>The leak also hints that development is progressing smoothly, making a launch in\u00a0early 2027\u00a0a possibility. That would align with the timing of the OnePlus 15T, which debuted in March this year.<\/p>\n<p>For context, the current OnePlus 15T pairs a\u00a06.32-inch AMOLED display\u00a0with a\u00a0165Hz refresh rate, a\u00a0Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5\u00a0chipset, a\u00a050MP dual-camera system, and a sizeable\u00a07,500mAh battery. Assuming OnePlus sticks with a similar formula, the next model could offer flagship-level performance. It would do this in a relatively compact form factor.<\/p>\n<p>The bigger&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/news\/onepluss-next-compact-flagship-leaks-and-it-looks-like-a-true-iphone-rival\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OnePlus\u2019s next compact flagship leaks, and it looks like a true iPhone rival https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/news\/onepluss-next-compact-flagship-leaks-and-it-looks-like-a-true-iphone-rival Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":279420,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/OnePlus-16-camera.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-279419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279419"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=279419"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279419\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":279421,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279419\/revisions\/279421"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/279420"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=279419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=279419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=279419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
