The company is supposedly testing a screen with a refresh rate of at least 200Hz for its upcoming flagship. The specific refresh rate wasn't specified, but as GSMArena noted, 240Hz seemed like an obvious choice.

Of course, we ask the usual questions regarding game support and how it'll impact battery life. But since it is still a rumour about a device many months away from potentially launching, we take this OnePlus news with a grain of salt.

The family of creator Charles M. Schulz will retain their 20% interest in the brand, while SMEJ takes the operational lead in partnership with SPE. The deal, which builds on Sony’s initial 2018 investment, is currently awaiting regulatory approval.
