OnePlus China CEO Li Jie Louis announced that OnePlus will usher in a new era in smartphone display technology with higher refresh rates. So, what should you know about it?

OnePlus is reportedly preparing a mid-range smartphone, set to launch in October 2025, featuring a 1.5K flat OLED display with a 165 Hz refresh rate—a spec more commonly found in flagship devices.

OnePlus may face the same fate as HUAWEI and ZTE in the US after two lawmakers in the country have asked the US Commerce Department to investigate the tech firm due to security concerns. The duo claimed that OnePlus devices may have collected and transmitted extensive user data, including sensitive personal information, to China.

With the rise of AI applications and tools on our smartphones, we can certainly expect more upgrades, such as memory capacity. According to the well-known leakster DigitalChat, he suggested that the next-generation Android flagships could launch with as much as 24GB of RAM.

An Android phone is often considered a Google-powered phone. However, not all Android phones have Google services, a problem most companies want to avoid. Interestingly, that might not be the case for Xiaomi, which seems to be working on a Google-free version.

Sister companies OPPO and OnePlus are reportedly testing a next-gen battery for their smartphones, which is made out of 15% high-silicone content. The smartphone battery is touted to be 8000mAh and supports 80W charging, which wouldn’t be out of place on a tablet!

Last year, OnePlus finally admitted to the green lightsaber problem on the screens of their customers' devices because they started offering a lifetime warranty. The problem is that a line appears on the screen of the device and over time the screen will keep turning off. Recently, OnePlus announced a free screen replacement program.

Android 15 is now on the horizon and for non-Google Pixel owners, many are awaiting announcements from respective manufacturers on whether their devices will get the upgrade to the latest Android software. Well, if you’re a OnePlus user, the company has unveiled the list of existing devices that will get the update, so read on to find out more.

As Google continues to develop Gemini, it was announced at the Google Cloud Next 24 event that Gemini Ultra 1.0 is going to be integrated into OPPO and OnePlus phones later this year. To the uninitiated, Gemini Ultra 1.0 was revealed earlier in 2024 as a state-of-the-art AI LLM-empowering Gemini Advanced chatbot.

After the announcement of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile platform by Qualcomm, it didn't take long for other smartphone brands and manufacturers to respond. At the moment, both OPPO, iQOO and a few others have confirmed that their next flagships will be equipped with the latest Snapdragon SoC.
