Previous OnePlus devices had been limited to 90Hz. That’s still better than most phones, mind you, which are stuck at an oh-so-2019 60Hz. Granted, there aren’t many games – let alone video – yet available to take advantage of the increased refreshed rate, so it’s mainly a cosmetic change. Credit: TrueTech OnePlus did say it was implementing optional motion smoothing feature to interpolate frames and deliver higher refresh rates in video – but if it’s anything like motion smoothing on TV’s, I’m going to have to say ‘no thanks.’ The more meaningful change is a 120 Hz display should make one of the smoothest phones one the market feel even faster. The not-so-good news: OnePlus is abandoning the cool pop-up selfie camera for a more utilitarian hole-punch camera. That’s fine, I guess, but I loved the way the 7 Pro’s display was one smooth pane of glass. It was also just a cool party trick, though I suppose the hole-punch camera has better prospects of long-term durability given a lack of moving parts. Via Phandroid
