This is the same 160W charger and comes with a USB Type-C charger that was introduced with the OnePlis 10R. The charger also supports PD and PPS charging as well and is quite heavy, so it might not be easy to carry around.
The phone has a 6.7-inch Full HD+ AMOLED screen which a centre punch-hole. Since it has up to 950 nits brightness, the screen is bright even outdoors, and the 100% DCI-P3 wide color gamut offers vibrant colours. It has 120Hz refresh rate screen with up to 1000Hz instant touch sampling rate.
Inside the tiny punch-hole, there is a 16-megapixel camera. The earpiece grill is present on the top edge, which doubles up as a secondary speaker.
It has minimal bottom bezel. The phone features an in-display fingerprint scanner.
It is the first OnePlus phone to be powered by Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. The phone has 16GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage.
It has an efficient cooling system featuring the company’s largest and most advanced cooling system ever – offering a total cooling area of over 37,000 mm². The cooling system has cryo-velocity vapor chamber – the largest vapor chamber in any OnePlus device – with 8 dissipation channels and a redesigned micron-level 3D capillary dissipation structure that, together, offer up to twice the dissipation ability of traditional smartphone vapor chambers.
Coming to the button placements and ports, the power button is present on the right side, the volume rockers are present on the left. The dual SIM slot, primary microphone, USB Type-C port and the loudspeaker grill are present on the bottom. The secondary microphone is on the top, along with a speaker vent. The phone doesn’t have an expandable storage. This has a plastic frame, so you don’t see antenna bands.
The company has removed the alert slide, which it says is to add necessary space inside the device to add new, meaningful technologies such as high wattage charging, a large battery capacity, and better antenna signal with 15 separate antennas around the device’s body, while maintaining a thin and light form factor.

The Moonstone Black version has a matte finish that is inspired by the texture of basalt.
