OnePlus could be the latest Chinese smartphone maker to enter the wide-screen smartphone market. A new leak suggests the company is developing the OnePlus 17 for a launch next year.
The source shared the information on Weibo. According to the leak, the OnePlus 17 will be among the top five wide-screen flagship phones arriving next year. These devices are reportedly designed to offer a better gaming experience through wider displays.
The OnePlus 17 is expected to launch around October 2027. However, this timeline depends on whether the company follows its usual release schedule. Its predecessor, the OnePlus 16, arrived in October 2026.
The OnePlus 16 features a Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset, a 200MP main rear camera, and a 9,000mAh battery. The upcoming model’s specifications remain unknown.
Meanwhile, Oppo, Xiaomi, and vivo are also reportedly working on wide-screen flagship phones. Their upcoming devices could feature displays with either a 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio. If these reports prove accurate, 2027 could bring a new wave of wide-screen smartphones from China’s biggest manufacturers. However, details about their designs, hardware, and pricing have yet to emerge.
