TL;DR
- The OnePlus 16 is tipped to offer a screen with a “global” 165Hz refresh rate.
- This presumably means it’ll support 165Hz in the system UI and in many apps.
- This would be a major improvement over the OnePlus 15, which only supports 165Hz in a few apps.
OnePlus popularized the adoption of high refresh rate screens back in 2019, and subsequent OnePlus flagships have all offered high refresh rate panels. We’re expecting the OnePlus 16 to continue this trend, and a trusted leaker has now made some screen-related claims.
Digital Chat Station on Weibo claims that the OnePlus 16 has a new screen that’s the industry’s first display to offer a “global” 165Hz refresh rate. The leaker adds that the phone will have new system animations that take advantage of the high refresh rate. Check out the machine-translated screenshot below.
