If you want a glimpse of everything that comes in the box, we recently did an unboxing that you can check out.

Although the OnePlus 15’s display has a refresh rate of 165Hz, the phone maker reduced the resolution from 2K to 1.5K. It appears the reason why the company went for a lower resolution was to accommodate the higher refresh rate. This lower resolution is sure to disappoint some fans, but they may be able to take solace in a new rumor about what could come down the road.
According to OnePlus Club, the company is supposedly interested in striking the perfect balance between resolution and refresh rate. The X (formerly Twitter) account didn’t share any specifics about resolution. However, it did mention that in “the coming years,” OnePlus wants to have a display with a “240Hz dynamic refresh rate.”
A 240Hz display would be quite impressive, to say the least, although it might be a bit excessive. The reaction to the rumor is also mixed, with some questioning why anyone would need a 240Hz refresh rate on a phone. On one hand, higher refresh rates make the on-screen experience smoother. However, it’s a bit of a double-edged sword in that higher refresh rates also drain a phone’s battery faster. Not to mention that you won’t find many apps that could take advantage of such high refresh rates.
As this is a rumor, you should treat it as such. Take it with a grain of salt.
