OnePlus is preparing a smartphone with a display that supports an adaptive 240Hz refresh rate—twice what most current flagships offer. According to the insider community OnePlus Club, the company plans to focus on exceptional interface fluidity and faster touch response.
The latest flagship, the OnePlus 15, already became the brand’s fastest to date with a 165Hz screen, though it stepped down to a 1.5K resolution versus the OnePlus 13’s 2K panel. At the time, that shift was attributed to technical limits and an attempt to strike the right balance between speed and power consumption. Now, if the chatter is accurate, OnePlus appears ready to push smoothness even further.
A 240Hz panel promises standout responsiveness across the interface and animations, yet the real-world payoff is debatable—many apps and games still don’t fully take advantage of even 144Hz. There’s also the energy cost: such a high refresh rate can noticeably raise power consumption, so OnePlus engineers will need a smart approach to preserve battery life without obvious trade-offs.
Early indications suggest a phone with this new screen could arrive in the coming years, signaling a shift in OnePlus’s priorities from pure affordability toward technological one‑upmanship. If the rumors hold, the brand would be aiming once again to reclaim its image as a maker of fast, thoughtfully tuned Android devices—a bold bet that, done right, could nudge the industry’s expectations for how fluid a phone can feel.
