Google recently launched its flagship smartphones in the Pixel 4 series which offers 90Hz refresh rate for the display. However, an issue has been detected with that feature and its competitor OnePlus decided to troll the company for that.
OnePlus UK posted a tweet shown below which is mocking the company related to the issue with the 90Hz refresh rate. In the newly launched Pixel 4 series, the 90Hz refresh rate works only if the phone’s brightness is 75 percent or more. If the brightness drops below that, the refresh rate also drops to 60Hz.
The company further added that its 90Hz display phones are “fast and smooth anytime, anywhere.” The tweet shows that even at various brightness levels, OnePlus phone maintain a consistent 90Hz refresh rate.
However, the company deleted the tweet soon after posting it but many have grabbed a screenshot of the same. While its not known why OnePlus UK deleted the tweet, there are some theories.

Yes, it’s true that the refresh rate on the OnePlus smartphones doesn’t drop based on the screen brightness level. But not all apps support 90Hz refresh rates and hence there are things the user may be seeing in 60Hz on the OnePlus 7 Pro, 7T, or 7T Pro.
Also, the smartphone doesn’t technically run at 90Hz “anytime, anywhere”, as claimed. The company had earlier suggested that it doesn’t recommend forcing 90Hz refresh rate given that it could drain the battery faster.
So, the tweet could have been taken down to keep itself away from the controversies with the 90Hz refresh rate or there’s also a possibility that the company realised that it’s not cool to throw shade at another company.
