OnePlus 8 Pro has 120Hz display with a custom MEMC chip that
can convert an ordinary 30fps video into a 120fps video. OnePlus will unveil
the OnePlus 8 Pro in March.
Samsung has been dominating the news cycle lately with the
Galaxy S20 and Z flip, but it looks like OnePlus may want to steal some of the
spotlight now with the OnePlus 8 Pro.
We have a fair share of the idea of how
this handset is going to look like courtesy of Onleaks' renders but today we
have some live pictures of the handset that showcases it all ahead of its
launch next month. Someone got their hands on the OnePlus 8 Pro and posted
pictures on Snapchat. It showcases the punch-hole camera that sit sin the
top-left of the display. This is in line with previous renders that we’ve seen.
With the OnePlus 8 series, OnePlus is doing away with pop-up cameras that it
first introduced with the OnePlus 7 Pro. After mocking Samsung, Apple and
Google with this video OnePlus is adopting a similar punch-hole design just a
year later.
The back of the phone shows OnePlus has done some minor refinements
to the OnePlus 7 Pro and added an additional time of flight sensor. There will
be a purple color variant too which in my opinion looks really good.

We also have specifications of the handset which showcases
that 12GB RAM will be offered in the highest variant, starting from 8.The
camera configuration will be 64, 20 and12MP and an additional time of flight
sensor. It's an improvement in numbers compared to the 7 Pro but we'll have to
wait and see how this translates to the real-world performance.
The main USP of
this handset is going to be the 120Hz fluid display, not just because of the
higher refresh rate but also due to the custom MEMC chip that OnePlus has built
into the OnePlus 8 Pro.

You see CEO of Oneplus Pete Lau has teased that the
120Hz Fluid Display will come with motion interpolation as well. Lau says that
the company has integrated a custom MEMC chip that can push an ordinary30fps
video up to 120fps, allowing you tosee much smoother footage. Essentially, this
means that the custom chip will be able to create additional frames to feign a
higher frame rate for an original30fps or 60fps video.
He also tweeted a short
video teaser of the MEMC capabilities on the OnePlus 8 Pro. The MEMC chip is
often integrated on higher-end TVs to simulate higher frame rates. For the
smartphone, OnePlus has created a custom MEMC chip that is capable of elevating
a 30fps video to up to 120fps.This is done by altering the frame rate, and Lau
says that this will enable users to ‘take full advantage of the 120Hz Fluid
Display'.
The 120Hz offered by the Galaxy S20 doesn't have the MEMC chip so
clearly OnePlus has a great advantage here. You see we can barely find the
120Hz video on the internet, the higher refresh rate you'll experience is only
going to be at the system UI and on websites.
So I think it's smart on
OnePlus's part to offer this custom chip which can make an ordinary30fps video
into 120Hz video and I'm really looking forward to seeing how this actually works
and most importantly whether or not it works as advertised. Anyway, let me know
what do you think about this down in the comments and as always I'll see you again...Peace
out!
