Hey everyone, welcome to Tech After Dark! I'm Nova, here with Ohm, and Notebookcheck just reviewed the very first phone running the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6. It's the OnePlus 16! A 2 nanometer chip that can clock above 5 gigahertz, and real-world battery life of over 29 hours! And, shockingly, it stays cool, Ohm. Notebookcheck found throttling less pronounced than on many other high-end phones.

So it doesn't slow itself down as much when it heats up. Bzzt. Here's the catch: in some tests it falls well below its predecessors. And on the big board, imports from China start at 877 U S dollars, with an official Western launch looking unlikely. Consistent over maximum power? Honestly, I like it. Notebookcheck's full review is linked. See you next time!
