OnePlus 16 Hands-On Videos Show 3 Built-In LED Sections as China-Only Flagship Keeps OnePlus 15 Design

Summary
Hands-on videos of the OnePlus 16 surfaced hours after OnePlus revealed the phone, showing illuminated rear LEDs on the “Tomorrow’s Starlight” version and a design otherwise close to the OnePlus 15.
Three LED sections appear on the back—two near the bottom and one beside the camera module—lighting up the “16” branding and bottom coordinates, while a hidden Morse code detail remains non-illuminated.
The videos also show a square triple-camera module, a centered punch-hole selfie camera and slimmer front bezels that appear thinner than the OnePlus 15’s 1.15mm borders.
OnePlus has not said what triggers the warm-toned lights, but the styling and rumored Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chip with up to 16GB RAM point to a gaming-focused flagship.
Pre-reservations are already open in China with storage options up to 1TB, and the phone is not expected to launch in Western markets.
