OnePlus exec practically confirms the OnePlus 15's higher refresh rate

The OnePlus 15 is rumored to be launching next month, and it was said to feature a 165Hz screen refresh rate. Today, Li Jie, President of OnePlus China, has basically confirmed this in a post on Weibo.

He welcomes Apple to the high refresh rate era (as the Cupertino company finally ensured all of its iPhones have 120Hz refresh rate, including the vanilla model), calling high refresh rates one of the most important improvements in the mobile phone user experience in the past ten years.

Then, he goes on to say that OnePlus "will once again lead the industry" in this regard. So clearly, a higher than the usual 120Hz refresh rate is coming, and naturally it should be available on the flagship device first, which is going to be the OnePlus 15 (14 will be skipped due to tetraphobia in some parts of Asia).

Li believes the rest of the industry will follow suit in bringing even higher refresh rates, but we're skeptical since going from 120Hz to 165Hz is nowhere near as transformative an experience as going from 60Hz to 120Hz was.
