Oppo and OnePlus may reportedly change the flagship launch strategy for India. This comes with a new leak suggesting that two of their upcoming premium smartphones may not make it to the retail shelves. As per the leak, the OnePlus 16 and Oppo Find X10 Ultra are unlikely to launch in India, while Oppo can instead bring another flagship model to the market in 2027.
As per the tipster Debayan Roy (@Gadgetsdata), the OnePlus 16 and the Oppo Find X10 Ultra are now expected to remain exclusive to select global markets, with India reportedly missing out on both devices. The leak further claims that the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max may become the company’s flagship offering for Indian consumers in 2027.
The Oppo Find X10 Pro Max is said to offer a 2K flat LTPO OLED display with a 120hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the handset could be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro chipset. The leak also points to a massive battery ranging between 8,000mAh and 9,000mAh, along with an IP69 rating, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner and a dedicated Snap Key.
On the camera front, the phone is tipped to include a 200MP primary sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS), accompanied by a 200MP ultra-wide camera, a 200MP periscope telephoto camera with telemacro capabilities, and a 50MP multispectral sensor.
The latest report comes after OnePlus recently clarified its global market strategy. The previous reports suggested that the brand was scaling its international presence but OnePlus later confirmed that while it would stop launching new products in North America and Europe, it would continue operating in India.
If these leaks turn out to be true, India may also miss out on OnePlus 16. Previous rumours suggest the smartphone may debut in China later this year with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset, a 185Hz display, a battery close to 9,000mAh, and a 200MP telephoto camera.
Meanwhile, the Oppo Find X10 Ultra has previously been tipped to feature dual telephoto cameras, including a 50MP periscope lens with 10x optical zoom and a 200MP telephoto sensor offering 3x optical zoom. Oppo and OnePlus are yet to announce the official launch plans or regional availability for these devices.
