OnePlus 15RIt appears as though OnePlus is up for a big display refresh this time around for its forthcoming smartphone lineup, as one or more phone models are rumoured to sport 185Hz refresh rate panels, for instance. A fresh leak indicates the company might not restrict the technology to its premium devices, and instead may bring it to the OnePlus 16R and OnePlus Nord 7 models as well.Previous speculations suggested that the new OnePlus 16 could feature a 185Hz BOE display. According to tipster Smart Pikachu on Weibo, however, OnePlus will be going wider, with the refreshed phone tech on the premium side of its phones as well as the mid-tier device alongside.OnePlus Nord 7 May Get Flagship-Level Display UpgradeThe leak suggests that the OnePlus 16R and the OnePlus Nord 7 will be among the phones that will be getting the new 185Hz panels. Both phones will be launching after the currently available OnePlus 15R and OnePlus Nord 6, which both have 165Hz displays.If OnePlus takes this route, it's possible that the company could install faster screens on a number of new potential devices. It can be successors to OnePlus 15, OnePlus 15R, OnePlus 15T, Nord 6, Ace 6, Ace 6T or 6 Ultra.The Ace devices are primarily sold in the Chinese market, and devices like the Oneplus 15, Oneplus 15R and the Nord 6 are seen in limited markets around the world. Implementing 185Hz displays may assist OnePlus in securing more dominance in the high refresh rate display phone market.OnePlus 16R, Nord 7 Launch TimelineThe OnePlus 16R is not likely to be released any time soon, thanks to the OnePlus 15R, which was out in December 2025. Likewise, the OnePlus Nord 7 is expected to be released in the near future, as the OnePlus Nord 6 was released in April 2026.If we take cues from the previous placement, as OnePlus has launched its devices around the end of each year, then we should expect that the OnePlus 16R will launch around the end of this year, 2026, and the Nord 7 will launch sometime in early 2027.OnePlus 16 Tipped With Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 ProMeanwhile, the early leaks indicate that the OnePlus 16 will see Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro processor as the company's next flagship smartphone.It will also reportedly be equipped with a BOE-built 6.78-in display and feature an all-rounded design with very narrow bezels of below 1mm each. The 185Hz refresh rate would be yet one more upscale improvement from the OnePluses 165Hz panel technology.Although the increased refresh rate is primarily useful for gamers and more fluid movie animations, it will make a difference depending on other variables, which include screen quality, energy efficiency and/or software optimisation.Currently, details about OnePlus 's upcoming new smartphones and plans for displays are unavailable. Until the company makes an announcement, the 185Hz display rollout should be considered a leak rather than confirmed information.end of article
