After Oppo, Realme To Soon Debut Smartphone With 90Hz Display

With shortened launch cycles, we’re now seeing phone makers adopt new innovation at a much swifter pace. The screens on our smartphone are now taller, almost bezel-less, and free on any intrusions. So, what’s next? Well, if we were to take a look at the market, the phone makers are now prepping to offer users a smoother, snappier experience via higher refresh rate displays.

Earlier this week, Oppoconfirmedthat apremium variant of the Reno 2 with a 90Hz displayis in the works and should arrive soon. OnePlus 7 Pro already offers you a 90Hz screen, with rumors of the entire OnePlus 7T series coming with the same display in tow. Well, we can now add another BBK Electronics’ subsidiary, Realme, to the growing list of phone makers that will debut a smartphone with a 90Hz display later this year.

Taking to Weibo andquoting a story from CNET, which confirms that the OnePlus 7T will feature a 90Hz display, Realme’s Chief Product Officer Derek Wang said that Realme also hasplans to launch a new smartphone with a 90Hz refresh-rate displaysoon. He further adds that it’s going to be priced lower than the OnePlus 7, which means we could expect the Chinese giant to be one of the first to add a higher refresh rate display to the mid-range segment.

Details for Realme’s 90Hz display phone are sparse at the moment, but we assume this could be the devicewhose specifications leakeda few days ago. We believe this new device will feature a 6.4-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED screen with a 32MP selfie camera baked into the waterdrop notch – a design similar to theRealme XT.

The highlight of this smartphone could, however, be that it’spowered by Snapdragon 730G gaming-centric chipset from Qualcomm. I mean, it will be late to the party asRedmi K20was launched with the same chipset months ago but that’s okay. We could be seeing a familiar quad-camera setup on the rear (since Realme is going all out with the 4 camera plan) including thenew 64MP primary sensor. This will be paired with an 8MP ultra-wide lens, 2MP depth sensor, and 2MP macro lens.

So, it looks like BBK Electronics is soon going to lead the move to higher refresh rate displays in the budget, as well as the flagship market. What are your thoughts on this? Tell us in the comments below.
