There's a race going on in the world of telephony, where phone companies are stumbling to offer higher screen refresh rates. The OnePlus 7 Pro 2019 and Google Pixel 4, among others, have hit 90Hz, and some gaming phones like the Asus ROG Phone 2 offer 120Hz, but it looks like Xiaomi is on the verge of surpassing that because it only shows a frequency of 144Hz refresh rate. This comes from a Weibo article, where Xiaomi Vice President Lu Weibing showed off the Xiaomi Redmi K30 5G, an upcoming phone, which runs on a few different refresh rates, including 144Hz. It should be noted that it probably We won't be seeing this phone in the US and UK as the Redmi K series is usually only available in Asia, but we could still see the technology in another phone. A 144Hz display refreshes 144 times per second, much faster than your standard 60Hz phone, making your Twitter feed, for example, much cleaner and smoother. The main reason for 144Hz, though, is gaming - most of the best gaming monitors are 144Hz, and a phone with a refresh rate like this is probably for intense gaming. This gives you better response times in action games as you'll see enemies faster and be able to react quicker, but it also makes for more realistic and realistic animations overall. Another phone company, Nubia, is also working on the technology, and we'll likely see it in the Red Magic 4, its next gaming phone. The new reveal is also aimed at OnePlus, which recently unveiled its new 120Hz display technology that could appear on the OnePlus 8. Although 120Hz is a touch slower than 144Hz, OnePlus had a collection of other display enhancements that could give it an edge. Since Xiaomi has shown off the technology, not a leak, there's a good chance we'll see it on more phones soon, and we have an idea of which ones might be online.
