This is when the OnePlus 16 and iQOO 16 are rumored to be launching

Yesterday we heard thatXiaomi, Oppo, and vivo would all launchtheir upcoming flagship smartphone families in September. But what about sub-brands? Now the prolific Digital Chat Station on Weibo tells us what to expect from OnePlus and iQOO, specifically when theOnePlus 16andiQOO 16are going to launch. If you guessed September, you win. For reference, note that theOnePlus 15andiQOO 15both launched in October last year in China.

This September is going to be a very full month for smartphone launches in China, it seems. Of course, many of these devices will also become available internationally (the OnePlus 16 and iQOO 16 among them), but we assume that won't happen in September. There's usually been at least a few weeks of lag, so late October will probably realistically be the earliest we'd see any of these devices outside of China, maybe even later. The latest rumor about the OnePlus 16 has usconfused about its cameras, while the only thing we know about the iQOO 16 so far is that it's in development andwill be expensive, just like the OnePlus 16.
