The OnePlus 13 phone has caused waves as one of the most anticipated phones, especially with leaks coming one after the other about its features and design. We take most of these leaks with a grain of salt, just in case something is not entirely accurate, but we now have direct news from OnePlus itself: the OnePlus 13 can adjust refresh rates for different parts of the screen.
This is an interesting feature we have not seen before, and it has significant implications for energy efficiency. The OnePlus 13 is also set on a 6000mAh battery. This will provide a long battery life, but what if more could be squeezed out through simple adjustments quickly?
The main source of battery consumption on a smartphone is its screen. You may already know that you can save battery consumption by reducing the screen brightness, but the refresh rate also plays a significant role. This new feature will allow a specific part of the screen, like a YouTube video clip, to run at a higher refresh rate than the part of the page containing only text.
This will not only lead to a smoother overall viewing experience, but it can also improve battery life, especially if used while running apps in split-screen mode.
Another update for the OnePlus 13 phone may also indirectly affect battery life. It comes with a “Sunlight Display” screen, a type of screen that can be easily seen in direct sunlight and produces more accurate colors. Typically, you would need to increase your phone’s brightness entirely to use it outdoors – resulting in faster battery drain in the process – but this feature may reduce the brightness level you need to make your phone visible.
We expect the OnePlus 13 phone to be released in December or January approximately, and the more we learn about it, the more it looks like one of the most exciting upcoming smartphones. Stay tuned for more.
