Earlier today (21st July 2020), the OnePlus 8 Pro Crossfire mobile game gift box went on sale in limited quantities. The new special gift box arrives just a while after the flagship device supported 120Hz refresh rate in Crossfire.

The gift box is a new promotional offer with the package bringing an OnePlus 8 Pro with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, along with mini figurines, a customized AK47 permanent skin in game and a few trial period for the Black Knight skin for the M4A1 rifle and more as well.

For those unaware, Crossfire is a popular PC title that bears a striking resemblance to CS:GO (Counter Strike: Global Offensive). The game one of the most popular and highest played games of all time and its recent mobile port has been seeing great success in China as well.

Notably, Fortnite and Peace Elite also support the 90Hz refresh rate as well. OnePlus has been betting big on gaming especially for the mobile platform, and collaborations such as this and improved frame rate fidelity support would only solidify its position as a gamer’s choice. The special CrossFire gift box is currently available for a prie of 5,999 Yuan (roughly 858 US Dollars).

While smartphones with higher refresh rates have existed for a while now, its adoption and optimization for gaming have still been a bit uneven. But now, OnePlus 8 has fully utilized its faster display as the smartphone is the first to run Fortnite at 90fps.

Fortnite is one of the world’s most popular video games at the moment. It is a different and rather cartoonish take on the extremely successful battle royale genre and competes with the likes of PUBG. With games being intensive multiplayer battles, higher refresh rates can give users a slight edge in their fights. For those unaware, a higher refresh rate also translates to lowered input lag, meaning your physical actions are reflected faster on the screen. The difference is in mere milliseconds, but in a first person shooter title, that’s all that matters.

Unfortunately, despite the OnePlus 8 packing Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 865 SoC alongside the Adreno 650 GPU, the game can only run at 90fps when the graphics settings are set to “low.” While you do lose visual fidelity, the improved performance really does make up for that loss in detail. So, if you’re into Fortnite and mobile gaming, the smartphone, and the game title really pair well together.

Last month, on 8th May, Chinese smartphone maker Meizu announced its next-generation flagship smartphone series which includes Meizu 17 and Meizu 17 Pro. Although the phones were launched with a 90Hz refresh rate, the company enabled 120Hz refresh rate through a software update just weeks after the launch.

Now, Meizu is pushing a new update which further enhances the display performance on the flagship smartphones. The company has announced that it is now enabling support for 90 frames per second for the “Peace Elite” game.

For those who are unaware, Peace Elite is the Chinese version of the popular PUBG Mobile game. Recently, the OnePlus 8 series became the first in the world to support the Fornite game in 90 frames per second. However, it came at a compromise as enabling 90fps mode changes the graphics settings to low.

Coming to the specifications, both Meizu 17 and 17 Pro features a 6.6-inch S-AMOLED Full HD+ display which comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor. Under the hood, the devices are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 octa-core processor.

On the other hand, the Pro model comes with a 64-megapixel main lens, an 8-megapixel telephoto shooter, a 32-megapixel ultrawide sensor, and 0.3MP ToF lens.

Both the devices are equipped with a 20-megapixel front-facing snapper for taking selfies and video calling. Compared to the standard model, the Pro variant comes with features like ceramic chassis, LPDDR5 RAM, and 27W fast wireless charging.

As for the pricing, the Meizu 17 with 8GB RAM + 128GB storage is priced at 3,699 yuan while the 8GB RAM + 256GB storage variant costs 3,999 yuan. On the other hand, the Pro model has 8GB RAM + 128GB storage and 12GB RAM + 256GB storage models which cost 4,299 yuan and 4,699 yuan respectively.
