ASUS’ first gaming smartphone ROG Phone was the first phone to come with a 90Hz display in 2018. With the launch of OnePlus 7 Pro this year, the trend of including a 90Hz screen became mainstream and many smartphone manufacturers started offering the same in their flagship smartphones, including Google.
Now, Samsung is also expected to include a 90Hz display on its upcoming Galaxy S11 flagship smartphone. But, if the new reports are to be believed, then OnePlus is moving a step forward for its next year’s flagship smartphone.
As per the report, the OnePlus 8 Pro will feature a super smooth display with 120Hz refresh rate. However, it won’t be the first smartphone to do so as ASUS ROG Phone II is already offering 120Hz display.
Interestingly, rumors indicate that the Apple iPhones getting launched next year will also feature a 120Hz display which the company is expected to call “ProMotion OLED” display. For those who are unaware, Apple introduced “ProMotion” display on its iPad Pro around two year ago and is expected to offer the same with upcoming iPhones.

Not only the 120Hz display, the OnePlus 8 Pro is also expected to come with quad-camera setup on the back which will include an ultra-wide-angle shooter, a telephoto camera that will likely support 3x optical zoom, and a primary camera of an unknown resolution. The primary sensor could be of 64MP or 108MP.
The smartphone could be powered by Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 865 flagship chipset, coupled with at least 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The renders of the phone have already surfaced online, giving us an early look at how the smartphone could look like with a punch-hole display.
The OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro smartphones are reportedly set to go official in the second quarter of next year, i.e. Q2 2020. We expect to get more details about these devices through leaks as the launch nears.
