The OnePlus 16 has appeared in a Geekbench 7 listing, reportedly revealing Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro as the processor powering the upcoming flagship. The benchmark entry also lists 16GB of RAM, Android 17 and an Adreno 850 GPU.

The listing was shared by Abhishek Yadav on September 18. It records a single-core score of 3,073 and a multi-core score of 11,093, although benchmark results can vary depending on software and testing conditions.

OnePlus 16 benchmark listing points to Pro chipset

The entry identifies the phone’s eight-core Qualcomm platform as “QTI SM8975.” Its listed CPU configuration includes three cores running at 3.74GHz, three at 4.03GHz and two at 5.01GHz.

Those clock speeds point to the Pro version of Qualcomm’s next-generation flagship platform. Earlier reports have suggested that Qualcomm plans to offer regular and Pro versions of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, with the Pro model expected to exceed 5GHz. The Geekbench listing does not itself confirm Qualcomm’s broader chip lineup or the final commercial name.

Expected OnePlus 16 specifications

The other details in the benchmark entry fit the profile of a high-end OnePlus phone. The device is shown with 16GB of memory and Qualcomm’s Adreno 850 graphics processor, while Android 17 is listed as the operating system.

These specifications remain tied to a leaked benchmark result rather than a complete product announcement. OnePlus has already teased the handset, and recent reports have increased speculation around its hardware, but the company has not provided all of the phone’s final specifications in the available information.

What the Geekbench result means

If the listing accurately reflects a retail version of the OnePlus 16, the phone could arrive with one of Qualcomm’s fastest mobile chipsets. The reported 5.01GHz peak clock speed would be particularly notable, while the multi-core result suggests a strong focus on demanding workloads and multitasking.

However, a single Geekbench entry cannot establish real-world performance, battery life or sustained thermal behavior. Those factors will depend on the phone’s cooling system, software tuning and final hardware. More testing and an official OnePlus announcement should clarify how closely this entry matches the finished device.
