New leak points to October launch for the OnePlus 16
Last month, tipster Digital Chat Station claimed that the OnePlus 16 would debut in September. However, the tipster has now revised the launch timeline, suggesting that the flagship smartphone has been pushed back by a month.

OnePlus 15 was unveiled in China in October last year.
The tipster also claims that the OnePlus 16 will retain a design similar to the OnePlus 15, including the same square-shaped rear camera module.
