Without making too much noise, OnePlus has been advancing Key details of the display of your next high-endAmong the most striking features are the 165Hz refresh rate and 1,15mm symmetrical bezels, a set that focuses on fluidity and maximizing the useful area of ​​the front.
The company confirms its collaboration with the BOE on a custom panel and provides concrete figures: More shine, better color, less consumption and longer lifespan. In addition, there is talk of a certified minimum brightness of 1 nit, designed for dark environments without any stridency.
165Hz display and 1,15mm bezels
Going up to 165Hz is a jump from the usual 120Hz standard found on high-end phones, which should translate into smoother scrolling and better responsiveness in games; all of this framed by fully symmetrical 1,15mm bevels. The advances also point to a flat panel and a size close to 6,78 inches (data not yet official).
BOE X3: more shine, color and durability
The panel, developed with BOE, arrives as a customized version identified as BOE X3. According to the advances, it will offer a 13% more brightness in HBMa whirlpool bath, 11,8% improvement in color rendering, 10% less energy consumption and until a 30% longer lifespan compared to the previous generation.
For night use or in very dark interiors, the screen can be lowered to a actual minimum brightness of 1 nit, certified by TÃœV Rheinland, seeking to reduce eye fatigue and keep flickering and luminance peaks under control.
Control and Response: The Role of the Oppo P3 Chip
The panel is managed by the Oppo P3 controller, a dedicated chip that optimizes brightness stability and response times even at high refresh rates. Among the shared data, a pixel row loading time of 1,3 microseconds, which should lead to smoother interactions and cleaner transitions.
Resolution and format: changes compared to the previous generation
In resolution, the brand would opt for a panel of 1,5K, below the QHD+ of its direct predecessor. The move makes sense if the goal is improve efficiency and autonomy together with the 165 Hz, even more so if, as the advances indicate, the panel will be completely flat to prioritize uniformity and touch control on the edges.
Availability and planned hardware
Inside we expect the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, while memory configurations have yet to be detailed. As for the timing, teasers point to previous milestones such as the unveiling of the BOE X3 panel and place the phone's debut in China at the end of October, with a window for global announcement mid november; in any case, the dates remain without official confirmation.
With the progress made so far, the focus of the brand's next flagship is clearly on the screen: 165Hz, 1,15mm bezels, brightness and color enhancements, and a dedicated controller to squeeze the panel; decisions that, together with the probable 1,5K resolution and the new SoC, seek to balance visual performance and efficiency.
