Oppo Find X3 Pro starts receiving update, finally has 1 Hz-120 Hz adaptive refresh rate

18 March 2021
The panel supports it naturally, but Oppo shipped some units without the feature.

            An oversized phone that looks like a brick for the price of gold and with a battery that won't last you all day.

Crazy how so many visit this site but don't understand how important the touch sampling rate is and how it affects touch responsiveness. As long as the touch sampling rate stays above 60hz (which all flagships have at least 120hz or above) then the variable refresh rate changes between hz instantly (at least instantly that's perceptible to the human eye).

                Huh...I was right...it was a software update away for taking advantage of the LPTO display...lol

                  Afaik, only the screen refresh rate gets lower with adaptive refresh rate, while the touch sampling rate remains constant at the highest that it could go up to. Also, the screen digitizer is receiving electric impulses directly from the SoC, which means that it can rise from as slow as 1Hz back to high refresh rate instantly at the same moment that there's an input or change in displayed content on the screen.
                  Basically, you will NEVER feel the screen having delays or lags by going from 1Hz to 120Hz in real time, as it is performed by varying the amount of current that the display panel is receiving.

                  About batteries, manufacturers are surely working already to develop newer and better battery technology to replace the tried and tested Lithium batteries, but it's still too early to expect something new to arrive so soon. For the meantime, what we can definitely do to help prolong the longevity of our current Lithium batteries is by doing preventive measures to significantly slow down the degradation of these cells, such as avoiding charging overnight, limiting the battery charge to 80 percent, not letting the battery go lower than 20 percent, and avoiding habits that increases the battery temperature, like using the phone while it is charging and charging the battery at extremely high currents.
                  Just follow these basic tips and you'll never have any problem with the longevity of your battery.
                  My phone with 4000mAh battery still lasts me through the day as it did during the first day because I only charged it with its stock 10W charger, and I constantly avoided overcharging.

If it was possible to simply have this ability via software update without any required special hardware functionality, then all screens with a high refresh rate, be it OLED or IPS LCD, should be able to have the same feature by receiving it via software update. Heck, they all could've had it right in the beginning if it was indeed possible.

                          Number 2 to can go both ways when you reduce the size of the transistor you can either pack in more transistor in a given required space or actually leave the same size of the transistor as it is and reduce the size of the chip which food reduce the power consumption

                                The transition between refresh rates makes the phone to startle there's that minimum lag which is not pretty. You're better locking the refresh rate at with 60 Hz, 90 Hz & 120 Hz these should be options in display settings. Just innovate in future battery technology & don't worry about saving battery at the expense of uninterrupted performance. The implementation of Galium enhanced batteries is the step in the right direction.
