Like forever, OnePlus has been considered an object of desire in the smartphone world due to its high-quality features and relatively low pricing. However, recently speculating about a company testing display upgrades that many-a-users may never see has begun doing rounds. We can investigate a little more of what that change is or what it implies.
Possible Aspects Of The Display Upgrade
Leaksters from the tech scene say that the flagship devices will most probably come with some new types of panel this time. Apparently, however, we do not speak about any evolution of the OLED or AMOLED technology so far known. The grapevine says that OnePlus will simply pick a cheaper luxury panel and neglect the advantages LTPO technology has in terms of variable refresh rate and battery optimization.
User Experience Impact
Anyways, if the new technology on panels is of far less premium quality, it may define how smooth the scroll is or how the device gaming feels anyway.
Refresh Rates: LTPO panels can go from 1 Hz to 120 Hz in refreshing rates dynamically, theoretically giving life to batteries. In less advanced panels, however, it will be their limit.
Color Accuracy: High-end panels have more depth of color and contrast; this may or may not take a hit here.
Battery Life: Loss of advanced-grade tech may affect battery performance.
What Would Dictate The Decision for OnePlus?
Most probably, OnePlus may do it just as a cost-cutting measure to be able to price the device competitively. There has really been a price war in the smartphone industry in recent years, making it difficult for companies to present affordable options to the buyers.
Impact on The Premium Segment
This will, if all goes along, hurt some of premium image. Those that went only for OnePlus for its display quality and performance will tend to turn to other brands. But it will appeal very much to those on the most constrained budget if it were made cheaper.
The company has branded for itself some cutting-edge technologies and hardware which have been innovated consistently, so if this change in display technology indeed does come about, it would either mean mixed reactions for its users. It now remains to be seen if the company is indeed adopting this upgrade or just testing for waters.
