OnePlus appears to be all set to make a notable change in its upcoming flagship, the OnePlus 14, by opting for a flat display design. This will be a major change in display design, moving away from the curved screens used in previous versions like the OnePlus 13. The smartphone is rumoured to feature a 6.82-inch display in the 2K resolution (1440 x 3168 pixels) and also a 120Hz refresh rate, providing users with an exceptionally vibrant and smooth visualisation.
As per Digital Chat Station, one of the exciting features of the OnePlus 14 is its supposed inclusion of LIPO (Low-Injection Pressure Overmolding) technology in the display. This innovation tries to lower the bezels around the screen, making that to provide a more immersive watching experience. LIPO is also expected to allow for a slimmer and more streamlined device design and contribute to a sleeker, more ergonomic design and a better form and function. Currently, Xiaomi 15, iPhone 16 series, and Oppo Find X8S smartphone features the LIPO technology.

Apart from the display, the OnePlus 14 is said to be driven by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset with up to 24 GB of RAM and 1 TB of internal storage. Battery life is, of course, one of the strongest points of this smartphone. OnePlus 14 is rumoured to feature a massive 7000mAh battery capacity, supporting 100W wired fast charging and 50W wireless Charging.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset will have the model number SM88550 and will be based on TSMC’s 3nm N30 node. It will have a 2+6 core setup wherein the former 2 cores will be prime cores and the rest will be performance cores. The configuration is exactly similar to the Snapdragon 8 Elite. However, the new chipset will be based on ARM’s V9 architecture. The tipster adds that the Soc will have support for SME1 and SVE2.2, which hints towards the new ARM architecture.
The chipset will feature a 2nd-gen Oryon CPU and an Adreno 840 GPU for gaming and heavy graphics work. As a result, it could hit an AnTuTu score of up to 3.8 million—about 30% higher than the current Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Some other configuration of the device includes a Hasselblad-powered triple camera setup with a periscope shooter, an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, a large X-axis linear motor, and an IP68 & IP69 rating.
Launch Details
There is still plenty of time left for the official unveiling of the OnePlus 14. Qualcomm will announce the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset in early October, and then the devices powered by this chip will be launched one after another. As per the previous generation rhythm, the OnePlus 14 should be available to purchase in November in the Chinese market, while the global launch may follow later in January 2026.
