OnePlus 16 prototype shows sub-1mm bezels and 185Hz display

New details have emerged about the upcoming OnePlus 16 flagship smartphone, suggesting it may feature one of the most immersive screen designs yet. According to information from a tipster, the device is currently in testing with a display boasting bezels measuring less than one millimeter on all four sides and a refresh rate of 185Hz.

The tipster, known as Digital Chat Station, shared the specifications on the Chinese social media platform Weibo. The claims indicate OnePlus is pushing aggressively to shrink the bezels, which are the borders around the screen. The current OnePlus 15 model already features slim bezels of approximately 1.15mm, so achieving a sub-1mm measurement would represent a notable reduction. Such a design would bring the phone closer to the long-promised "all-screen" aesthetic, maximizing the viewing area without increasing the phone's overall size. This typically requires advanced display packaging technology to minimize the inactive area while maintaining structural durability.

Alongside the ultra-thin bezels, the OnePlus 16 is said to be testing a display with a 185Hz refresh rate. This would be an increase over the 165Hz panel found on the OnePlus 15....
