Phones with wide form factors are picking up pace and in a surprising turn of events, OnePlus could be the next to adopt it. Latest rumours point toward the OnePlus 17 potentially adopting a wider screen, allowing for better screen control layouts for gamers.
According to tipster Smart Pikachu on Weibo, OnePlus is joining Huawei, Oppo, Vivo and Xiaomi to experiment with a broader 16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratio. The latest on this form factor was reported last week, when Huawei could launch a wide slab smartphone in its new and upcoming "Starlight" sub-brand.
This is expected to make its official debut on the OnePlus 17. If the band adheres to its traditional annual release cycle, the smartphone should make it to the market around October 2027.
To put the potential hardware capabilities into perspective, the OnePlus 17 could pack flagship specifications. Just like the OnePlus 16 specifications, the OnePlus 17 could boast a massive battery.
Previous OnePlus 17 display rumours suggest the phone could pack the highest refresh rate on any phone at a whopping 200 Hz. It could be combined with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 7 processor and a 200 MP main rear camera.
Additionally, the wide form factor could bring a gaming-friendly aspect ratio, allowing users to have a deeply immersive gaming experience. This could make the OnePlus 17 one of the most powerful wide foldables on the market when it comes out.
The exact specifications of the OnePlus 17 remain a mystery. Since it's too early, it's also possible that the phone may turn out to be a regular slab phone. Therefore, we advise our readers to take this information with a grain of salt.
