The LTPO AMOLED displays on the OnePlus 9 series will have 1-120 Hz adaptive refresh rate

Peter, 17 March 2021

The OnePlus 9 series will use the new LTPO type of AMOLED display. One of the key advantages of this tech is that it easily supports adaptive refresh rate – CEO Pete Lau revealed that the OnePlus 9 duo will be able to go from 120Hz all the way down to 1Hz.

This will be a boon for things like the Always On Display and other instances where the phone is showing a static screen. The CEO is also keen to point out that not all 120Hz panels are born the same.

The upcoming phones will feature a high touch sampling rate (exact frequency is TBA), which will allow them to react to input more quickly. Here’s a comparison between the OnePlus 9 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra (as tested by OnePlus, at least).

OnePlus will imbue the 9-series with gaming flavor. The 9 Pro will have a 5-layer “gaming-grade” cooling system to keep the Snapdragon 888 chipset running as fast as possible.

Back to the screen, the company revealed that the AMOLED panel will have 1440p+ resolution and will natively support 10-bit color. It will be able to smoothly adjust its brightness in 8,192 tiny steps.

I'm curious to know if the display is manufactured by samsung or not and since samsung tends to keep better display technology to themselves for a year or 2 why let oneplus have it first than them? If not made by samsung then i wanna know who?

Well, I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that a too slow refresh rate on an oled will cause burn in Otherwise why not use 1hz or lesser for aod display screens (they use 60hz normally)
