The latest update for the newly released OnePlus 15 comes with error corrections and performance improvements, including refresh rate.
Previously, this refresh rate was just accessible on a bunch of games, with every other thing at 120Hz. With version 16.0.1.305, OnePlus 15 users can access the full 165Hz that the display is capable of in three additional apps: WhatsApp, Instagram, and X.
To access this new feature of 165Hz for the three apps, you have to enable the Developer Options, which isn’t a complex process. One thing to note, though, is that this can cause issues with some bank apps that won’t work unless the mode is disabled.
Also, it’s very odd the way the feature is implemented after it is enabled, because you won’t be able to get a dynamic refresh rate in these apps once this mode is enabled. When there’s no activity, the display remains pinned at 165Hz instead of reducing to 1Hz to slow down power drain.
The upgrade is a complicated one. It would be much better if the company provided the option to enable the full 165Hz in the Screen Refresh Rate setting under the Display & Brightness menu. With the current setting, most users don’t know it exists because it’s hidden. It should be made a default setting and not one available by manual selection for select apps and buried within arcane settings.
Version 16.0.1.305 is now rolling out to OnePlus 15 units in India, and should be available to other regions shortly. OnePlus 15 has received its first upgrade and is now available worldwide.

It’s expected that Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S26 series early in 2026, and the lineup will include the Galaxy S26 , Galaxy S26+, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The China Compulsory Certification (CCC) has given its clearance to the Galaxy S26 Ultra (SM-S9480) for the local market, and it has been revealed that the Chinese variant of the phone has direct satellite connectivity. Satellite connectivity can be used to send messages during emergency situations, especially when there’s no nearby cellular network. Whether the emergency call is supported isn’t clear yet.
Still, according to the China certification, the Galaxy S26 Ultra supports up to 60W (20V DC, 3A) fast wired charging and a 5,000mAh battery. This puts an end to previous speculations about the device featuring a 5,200mAh or a 5,500mAh battery. Samsung launched its first 60W wired fast charger with one USB Type-C port and then USB PD 3.1 PPS standard, which means there will be a separate compatible fast charger.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra recently received the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification in the USA, showing that both US and global variants of the phone use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. The Galaxy S26 and the Galaxy S26+ could be powered by the 2nm Exynos 2600 processor in some markets, including South Korea and the Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 globally.
