Built for esports: Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 plus the Fengchi Gaming Kernel, dedicated P4 (display), Lingxi (touch) and G3 (network) gaming chips, a 185Hz gaming mode and one-click 'Gun God Mode', with a 9,000mAh battery, bypass charging and the Glacier Cooling System for long sessions — OnePlus's strongest gaming phone to date.
Price notes
Official China launch price (Oct 12, 2026): CNY 5,999 (12GB/256GB), CNY 6,799 (12GB/512GB), CNY 7,499 (16GB/512GB), CNY 8,499 (16GB/1TB). First-sale discount (until Nov 13) lowers the base to CNY 5,699 — CNY 5,199 with China's national subsidy. No Pakistan price announced — China-only launch, so Pakistan units will be grey-market imports.
