OnePlus Reportedly Tests 240Hz Phone Displays as Push Beyond 165Hz Continues

A OnePlus Club rumor points to 240Hz exploration that raises questions over resolution and battery impact.

Overview

  • Android Headlines and Android Central relay OnePlus Club claims that future OnePlus flagships could offer a 240Hz dynamic refresh rate.
  • The report does not identify which model would get the panel, leaving timing uncertain for devices like a potential OnePlus 16 or 17.
  • Recent context includes the OnePlus 15 moving to a 165Hz display and dropping resolution from 2K to 1.5K to enable higher refresh performance.
  • A larger 7,300mAh battery on the OnePlus 15 and gaming-focused hardware underpin the technical feasibility but do not resolve power draw concerns.
  • User reactions on X reflect skepticism about the value of 240Hz on phones, with some arguing that resources should prioritize camera improvements.
