OnePlus may join the trend of wide-screen smartphones with the upcoming OnePlus 17, according to a leak from tipster Smart Pikachu on Weibo. The device is expected to launch around October next year, following the company's annual release cycle. The wide-screen format is reportedly designed to enhance the gaming experience, a growing focus for Chinese manufacturers like Oppo, Xiaomi, and vivo, who are also preparing similar flagships.
These devices are rumored to feature 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio displays. The OnePlus 16, released earlier this year, set the stage with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset, a 200MP main camera, and a 9,000mAh battery. The OnePlus 17 is expected to build on this foundation with a display optimized for immersive mobile gaming.
