OnePlus 7 Pro to come with HDR10+ display and UFS 3.0 storage: CEO Pete Lau

OnePlus 7 is undoubtedly one among the most anticipated smartphones of the year and it is all set to launch on May 14. The company has been teasing us with some of the features of the upcoming smartphone. In the latest teaser, it has confirmed that the OnePlus 7 Pro will come with a HDR10+ display along with UFS 3.0 storage.

The company has also revealed that the flagship device from OnePlus with the HDR10+ will give users a more dynamic and detailed display. The display of the device is said to provide adaptive frame-by-frame adjustments for the optimum representation of the contrast from HDR content. In addition to this, the display will produce around 4000nits of peak brightness. So, we would not be wrong to assume that the display of OnePlus 7 Pro will be one of its major features. Other smartphones with the HDR10+ support includes the Samsung’s Galaxy S10 and the Galaxy S10+. Earlier, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau revealed on Twitter that the OnePlus 7 Pro will come with UFS 3.0 storage which will make the device faster than the other smartphones in the market.

Also, there are rumours circulating on the internet that the upcoming OnePlus 7 Pro will have a 90Hz refresh rate display with a QHD+ resolution. Before its launch, the display of the OnePlus 7 Pro received the A+ rating from DisplayMate along with VDE certification making it safe for the eyes.

In a statement, the CEO Lau said, “HDR10+ is the future of not just television displays, but also smartphone displays as well. We hope that our newest device will set a new benchmark for the smartphone industry and open up a new world of visual fluidity for users. We’re glad we are leading the ranks in sharing quality technology with the world.”

Coming to its use of UFS 3.0, the UFS standard is a customised interface which is created to enable the fast read-write operations while minimizing the power consumption. This technology was introduced last year in 2018 and it brought improvements in the read and write speeds while doubling the bandwidth per lane. What it means in smartphone term is that it will make the OnePlus launch apps faster, reduce the loading time of the games and apps, and also giving the device a faster boot time.

To keep matters in perspective, Samsung Galaxy S10 and the Huawei P30 Pro comes with UFS 2.1 storage support. The new UFS 3 is 2 times faster than the UFS 2.1 and it offers a maximum data transfer rate of 23.2Gbps with up to 11.6Gbps per lane. It also consumes less power as it uses the 2.5V VCC.

With these new technologies being brought by OnePlus, the other competitors will have to think outside the box to not get left behind. More details about the OnePlus 7 and the OnePlus 7 Pro will be made available once it launches on May 14.
