OnePlus Nord 6165Hz display

The headline features of the Nord 6isits165Hz refresh rate display. On paper, thisputthe upcoming deviceahead of many devices in its segment that continues to feature 120Hz of refresh rate. The higher refresh rate is likely toenhanceresponsiveness, particularly in gaming scenarios where supported titles can take advantage of faster frame updates.

The OnePlus Nord 15 also features 165Hz refreshrate;the display panel is not engineered for full-time use. The display is likely to dynamically scale between lower refresh rates for everyday tasks such as scrolling, videoplayback, and app navigation. Inmost of the situations users will experience 120Hz or adaptive refresh rates rather than advertised peak.

Limitation of 165Hz refresh rate

The major limitation of the device is how the 165Hz mode is restricted.Similar tothe OnePlus 15, the higher refresh rate is expected to beboundto select games which means that apart from supported games, the display does not consistentlyoperateat 165Hz.

For general day to day use such as social media scrolling or watching content, the panel is expectedto offer only 120Hz of refresh rate.This creates a gap between what is marketed and what usersactually experiencedon a daily basis.

Whythis thingexists

The company appears to bepriortisingperformance and battery efficiency with this approach.Running a display continuously at 165Hz canimpactsignificantly on power usagewhile using the higher refresh rate for select apps only will help the devicemaintainbattery life.
