I expected the OnePlus 15R's display to be run-of-the-mill, but it turns out it's exactly the OLED we've been asking for

Android Central Labs is a weekly column devoted to deep dives, experiments, and a focused look into the tech you use. It covers phones, tablets, and everything in between.

OnePlus debuted the R series in the U.S. earlier this year with the OnePlus 13R, and now the OnePlus 15R makes its entrance at the tail-end with massive upgrades in tow. It's not only the first phone to sport the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, but also one of the few to feature a 165Hz refresh rate OLED. That, combined with the 3200Hz touch sampling rate, makes this a truly superb gaming phone.
