While the OnePlus 16 isn't available in the US or Europe, there are lots of good alternatives.
The OnePlus 16 debuted in China last month, and unlike previous years, it won't be released globally. With the manufacturer exiting the US and European markets, the OnePlus 16 is limited to China, and may see an eventual release in India. This is an issue if you're in the US, as OnePlus played a pivotal role in the country; while it didn't have a sizable market share, it served as an alternative to Google and Samsung's flagships, delivering high-end hardware for less than its rivals.
Interestingly, another Chinese phone maker is taking up the slack: Motorola. The Lenovo-owned manufacturer is making another play at the high-end category, and Motorola's high-end Signature, released earlier this year, proved that Motorola can offer a reliable device with powerful internals and great cameras. While the Signature didn't make it to the US, the Signature 27 is now up for pre-order in the country and hitting store shelves starting November 26. It comes with Qualcomm's latest silicon, flagship cameras and the biggest battery of any phone sold in the US. Then there's the contingent of Oppo, Xiaomi and Vivo; with these manufacturers increasingly turning their attention to the west, the OnePlus 16 omission isn't as keenly felt.
