Despite the OnePlus 15 launching just a couple of months ago, there have been plenty of early leaks for its successor. Now, a fresh tip has suggested that the OnePlus 16 is getting a significant camera upgrade, especially for its zoom lens. So here are all the details.
OnePlus 16 leaks with 200MP telephoto camera
The latest leak arrives from a post from OnePlus Club on X (formerly Twitter). In the tweet, the OnePlus 16 is reportedly getting a higher resolution and a larger sensor for zoomed photography. This new camera will be a 200MP shooter that has a 1/1.56-inch size, which is comparable to the OnePlus 15’s primary camera. To recall, the OnePlus 15 launched with a 50MP periscope telephoto shooter with a 3x optical zoom and a 1/2.75-inch sensor.
OnePlus 15
In other words, we might be getting a meaningful boost for zoom photography, along with improved low light detail capture and overall imaging capabilities. This will also make the OnePlus 16 more in line with other Chinese flagships like the Oppo Find X9 Pro and Vivo X300 Pro that pack large telephoto shooters. While the focal length of the new sensor is unknown, the new 200MP resolution could signify a higher digital crop on OnePlus’ next flagship.
This leak is also in line with some of our earlier reports. The OnePlus 15 is expected to launch with a 240Hz display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 Pro, and 200MP triple cameras. However, the previous leak hinted at a 200MP primary camera with a 50MP ultra wide angle lens, and a 50MP telephoto shooter. Keep in mind that this is still quite an early leak, so take this news with a pinch of salt for now.

If you’ve ever wished for a full-fledged computer smaller than your smartphone, the new Minix Neo Z95 mini PC might be exactly that. Minix has launched this ultra-compact system designed for everyday desktop tasks. We’ve already seen tiny computers before, but the new Minix Neo Z95 can literally fit in your pocket.
Pocket Friendly Minix Neo Z95 Mini PC Specs
Measuring roughly 88 x 88 x 43mm, the Neo Z95 is small enough to hold in one hand yet packs a surprisingly capable configuration inside. Under the hood, it is equipped with Intel’s N95 processor, a quad-core Alder Lake-N chip that reaches up to around 3.4GHz. This CPU isn’t the most capable, but it has enough horsepower for smooth productivity, web browsing, office work, and video streaming. It isn’t aimed at heavy gaming or demanding creative workloads. Instead, it provides reliable performance for daily use cases.
Minix Neo Z95 Mini PC
Paired with the CPU is 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a 512GB PCIe 3.0 SSD, offering generous memory and storage for a mini PC of this size. The SSD can be upgraded for even larger storage down the line, though the RAM is soldered on board. Despite its tiny form factor, the Neo Z95 doesn’t skimp on ports, offering three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, two HDMI outputs and one DisplayPort, allowing the system to support triple-display setups. You also get two Gigabit LAN ports and a 3.5mm audio jack.
This mini PC runs Windows out of the box, making it ready for familiar desktop apps, streaming services, and office tools. Its active cooling keeps temperatures in check during prolonged usage, while the pocket-friendly size and VESA-mount compatibility make it easy to tuck behind a monitor or TV. Pricing hasn’t been officially confirmed by Minix yet, but most Intel N95 powered mini PCs are in the budget segment.
