OnePlus 16 gets a sword-themed gift box based on A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality

The co-branded box holds five collectibles, led by a rotating metal stand that grips the phone magnetically.

OnePlus has revealed a OnePlus 16 gift box based on the Chinese animated series A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality, with a magnetic sword-array stand, a sword-shaped SIM ejector, a themed case, a postcard and a fridge magnet. The phone launches in China on October 12 with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 and a 9,000mAh battery.

The package contains five items built around the series’ sword imagery. A rotatable metal stand, designed as a sword array, holds the phone in place magnetically, while a metal SIM ejector tool and a magnetic protective case both take the form of the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword. A transparent postcard and a sliding fridge magnet complete the set.

OnePlus has not shared the box’s price, quantity or the phone configuration it includes.

The Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword is the set of flying swords used by Han Li, the protagonist of the novel and its animated adaptation. OnePlus has not announced the gift box’s price, how many units will be available, or which OnePlus 16 configuration it will ship with.

OnePlus has already confirmed several of the phone’s specifications. The OnePlus 16 runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, paired with a new version of the company’s Fengchi Gaming Kernel tuned for sustained gaming performance. Its fourth-generation Oriental display, developed with BOE, reaches up to 185Hz in supported games. OnePlus says the panel holds 165Hz across the entire system for everyday use.

A 9,000mAh Glacier Battery supports 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. On the back, a 200MP main camera with a 1/1.4-inch sensor and OnePlus’ LUMO light-condensing system sits alongside a telephoto camera that uses a Sony IMX882 sensor with 3x optical zoom. The phone also adds tri-frequency GPS and quad-frequency BeiDou positioning, which OnePlus describes as a first for the series. OnePlus has not yet announced pricing for the phone.

I’ve been obsessed with tech for as long as I can remember, so much so that I’ve become the unofficial "tech support" for my entire family. Whether it’s fixing gadgets, explaining specs, or recommending the best buys, I love breaking down tech for everyday people. That passion led me to writing about tech. When I’m not testing gadgets or writing reviews, you’ll probably find me hiking or doom-scrolling car listings (still hunting for my first ride, wish me luck, lol).
