The OnePlus 15 is getting closer to launch, and excitement is already building. The OnePlus 15 is expected to make its debut next month, and one of its most notable features may be its lightning-fast 165Hz display refresh rate.
This is now practically confirmed by OnePlus China President Li Jie. In a recent post on Weibo, he spoke about the importance of high refresh rates in smartphones and hinted that OnePlus is ready to raise the bar once again.
Li Jie wished Apple well as it enters the “high refresh rate era” in his post. Apple recently made 120Hz screens standard across its iPhone lineup, even for the basic models. For years, only the Pro versions offered smoother scrolling.

“One of the most important improvements in mobile phone user experience in the past ten years” was Li’s description of high refresh rates. He went on to say that in this area, OnePlus would “once again lead the industry.”
His statement makes it clear that OnePlus plans to go beyond the common 120Hz standard.
The OnePlus 15 will be the brand’s first flagship to have a 165Hz refresh rate, if the rumours are true. That’s faster than most smartphones currently on the market. In contrast, many flagship Android devices and Apple iPhones still max out at 120 Hz.
Cultural considerations influenced the decision to go with the OnePlus 15 instead of the number 14. In some Asian markets, the number 14 is avoided because of tetraphobia, the fear of the number four.
Although the leap sounds exciting, some experts are wary about how obvious it will be. Moving from 60Hz to 120Hz was a huge leap. Users instantly felt smoother scrolling, faster animations, and an overall better experience.
Going from 120Hz to 165Hz, on the other hand, might not seem as dramatic. The improvement is real, but most people might not see it in daily use unless they play high-performance mobile games designed to take advantage of ultra-high refresh rates.
Nevertheless, the OnePlus 15 could be a dream device for tech and gaming enthusiasts. With faster response times and smoother visuals, it may stand out as one of the best options for competitive gaming on mobile.
OnePlus has frequently presented itself as an innovative challenger brand. With this move, it seems ready to set a new standard in the smartphone industry. Li Jie’s self-assurance suggests that the company anticipates that other brands will follow in its footsteps, just as they did when 120 Hz became commonplace.
The OnePlus 15 is shaping up to be a major release. Li Jie’s hints confirm that display technology will be a major selling point, despite the fact that the company has not officially disclosed all of the information.
It remains to be seen whether the average user will notice the change from 120Hz to 165Hz. However, one thing is abundantly clear: OnePlus aspires to stay one step ahead of the competition and is not afraid to push the boundaries of smartphone displays.
