We are just over a week away from the launch of the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro on March 23, 2021 and as usual OnePlus is starting to peel off the technical features of its next smartphones. In previous years the brand had used the same techniques to tease the arrival of OnePlus 8T, 8, 7T, 7 (etc.), with revelations centered on a specific aspect of the smartphone every week.
After unveiling Monday official photos of the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro the brand returned in a post on Weibo about the features of the screen. OnePlus reveals that the OnePlus 9 received the DisplayMate A rating,the highest rate awarded by the institute. In the post Weibo OnePlus claims that DisplayMate hailed a screen “always as good” as on previous generations.
OnePlus confirms a flood of info on the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro screen and unveils their DisplayMate rating
This screen displays according to the 10-bit color mark, with 8192 luminance levels,and has a feature that automatically adjusts the temperature of the display to suit your environment (much like the True Tone technology of iPhones). The definition will be 2K and OnePlus confirms that these screens will have the refresh rate 120 Hz.
These slabs, onePlus continues, are among the first batches of LTPO OLED screens on the market. LTPO technology concerns the rear (i.m. substrate) of OLED screens. LTPO means “low-temperature polycyistalline oxide.” These arehighly efficient flexible screens that we saw for the first time on the market with the Apple Watch Series 4 and 5. It is this technology that allows the Always On feature to operate without too much impact on the battery.
Since then we have seen many manufacturers adopt it, from Samsung to Oppo especially on the Find X3 Pro. As the screen is one of the most energy-intensive components in a smartphone, it is expected that this generation will leap autonomously with a comfortable battery size and the Snapdragon 888.
