OnePlus 5 jelly effect is natural, the company says

29 June 2017
OnePlus reassures people that it uses "high-quality components", but the bottom line is that you shouldn't expect a software update to fix the problem.

As I mention in previous post, it is just panel quality not up to best, same issue appeared on my galaxy s4 or earlier amoled models, to be honest never bothered me and I don't think so it is big issue, but considering it is 2017 and amoled panels advance so much since 2013, and no such issue I found on my s6 or s8, tells what one plus really failed with this putting cheap screen panel on their flagship killer, not so "killer" after all

                AnonD-681515, 02 Jul 2017The A7 doesn't have this halo effect.What I meant is that the display on the OnePlus 5 is the same display that is on the A7 2016. I did not mention anywhere that the halo effect is present on the A7 2016 too. So this just means OnePlus have to do a proper calibration of the screen since they have installed it upside down.

                  This company is completely unethical. Cheating on benchmarks and calling a defect "natural".

                  Funny thing is how some people defend One+ unethical behavior. #NEVERONEPLUS #UNETHICALONEPLUS

                    AnonD-681515, 02 Jul 2017The A7 doesn't have this halo effect.No it does not since it is the phone I'm currently using for like the the eighth month now. This means that it is not a hardware issue but the way OnePlus chose to place the display upside down. So it has to do with poor calibration of the display.

                        The Huawei P10 Plus also has that effect. I think it is the screen's refresh rate not fast enough. I sold my P10 Plus and traded it for a S8. No more issues with S8. Superbly fast.

                                My point was that this happened before, on devices (brands) with way more reputation and process / component quality.

                                Also, what does this effect have to do with the processor (I really don't know, please explain?), should'n it be a matter of some software adjustments, or screen replacement?
