Earlier this week, OnePlus had a conference in China where it announced its 120Hz Fluid Display which will appear in its upcoming flagship(s). We are pretty pumped about the display as it will not only feature a higher refresh rate than that of the OnePlus 7 series but be a better display all-rounder.

Yesterday, Pete Lau took to Twitter to share a simulation video of the 120Hz display in action and in comparison to a 60Hz display. The aim of the video is to show how the higher refresh rate results in a much smoother scrolling experience.

The feature is hard to capture on camera but OnePlus tries to do so with this simulation by slowing down the video at a point, so you can notice the difference.

While OnePlus has not explicitly said which of its upcoming phone will feature the new display technology, we presume it will be limited to just the OnePlus 8 Pro while the standard OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Lite will have a 90Hz display.

There is also a possibility that both the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro have a 120Hz refresh rate but the difference will be the screen resolution. The OnePlus 8 will stick to a FHD+ resolution while the OnePlus 8 Pro will have a 2K+ resolution. This will give OnePlus an edge over the display of Samsung’s Galaxy S20 series which doesn’t support 120Hz when the display resolution is set to WQHD+.

The 120Hz Fluid Display will also have a peak brightness of more than 1000 nits, a touch sampling rate of 240Hz, MEMC technology, and an industry-leading JNCD (Just Noticeable Color Difference) of less than 0.8.
