Rumors suggest the OnePlus 16 might retain a feature that some users dislike.
Halloween is over, but is that really the case?
Despite positive feedback on the OnePlus 15, some users are unhappy with its 1.5K resolution and 165Hz refresh rate display, a downgrade from its predecessor's 2K, 120Hz screen.
Now, OnePlus may be developing a phone with a 240Hz refresh rate screen, which has generated negative reactions on X.
According to the OnePlus Club account on X, a reliable source for OnePlus information, the company's goal is to find the ideal combination of high resolution and a 240Hz dynamic refresh rate display.
User reactions range from skepticism, such as "Do we really need 240Hz?" and "Nobody needs 240hz on a phone," to suggestions that money should be invested in camera improvements instead, as well as some positive comments.
The specific model for this 240Hz screen is unknown, but it would likely be a flagship device like the OnePlus 16 or 17.
A 240Hz refresh rate provides a remarkably smooth user experience, enhancing scrolling, app switching, and gaming. However, this smoothness impacts battery life, and many apps and videos cannot fully utilize the high refresh rate.
X users are expressing a preference for camera upgrades over a 240Hz refresh rate. It remains to be seen whether OnePlus will heed these concerns or continue to pursue technological advancements.
