Rumours have it that OnePlus is already planning to introduce the OnePlus 16, after the international release of the OnePlus 15 a few days ago.
A post from the reputable OnePlus Club X account has it that OnePlus is planning to add a 240Hz refresh rate to future OnePlus phones. With twice the refresh rate, twice the power will be needed. It’s a big upgrade going from a 60Hz refresh rate to a 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate and it’s one of the success stories of the last few years.
OnePlus Club has a good record of sharing reliable OnePlus leaks. A 240Hz refresh rate isn’t record-breaking. It’s a great achievement because you double the 120Hz and get a refresh rate twice as smooth.
There’s a catch. With a faster refresh rate comes more power usage. The OnePlus 16 will experience increased power drain, which is the major downside of such tech. A doubling of refresh rate from 60 to 120Hz means your phone is working twice as hard, which results in a bigger power drain because of a doubling of refresh rate from 60 to 120Hz. It’s not clear how useful such a big refresh rate would be, as few apps would be able to use it.
Posts show that it will be sensible to divert the money spent on refresh rate to enhance the cameras and other elements on the OnePlus. Just like the OnePlus 15 claims the title of having the largest battery, OnePlus would like to have the bragging rights of the biggest refresh rate around. So OnePlus upgrading its refresh to 240Hz is very plausible.

Google has been rolling out new features to its apps and Messages is not left out. The company has added a new feature that allows users to pin more conversations to the top of their inbox for easy access.
Initially, Messages allowed users to pin only 3 chats. It eventually upgraded to 5 chats, then 10 chats. Google wants to double the capacity, allowing Android users to pin up to 20 conversations at once on the Google Messages app. The feature was first included in a beta version of the Google Messages app, but has made its way to the public version now.
The ten-chat limit for Google Messages pins was already sufficient for users, as the average number of conversations that can be viewed on an Android screen is between eight and ten. By expanding the limit to 20 conversations, users will have to scroll through the inbox view, up to two pages of pinned chats, before getting to their newest conversations. This will only happen if they pin all 20 chats.
How to pin conversations in Google Messages
To pin a chat in Google Messages, touch and hold the conversation in your chat list. You will see an action menu that contains the pin option. Click the pin icon to pin that chat. That’s it.You will see a small notification bubble at the bottom of your screen confirming the pin and showing you how many pinned chats you have. With the new limit, you even get to see how many more chats you can pin. The notification bubble will display “Pinned X out of 20 conversations.”
