High Refresh rates on smartphones are the new norm. Higher refresh rates make the phone feel super smooth and provide a new experience on a phone. Swiping through your emails and interacting with Facebook’s UI or your web browser can look smoother than the standard 60Hz rate. The OnePlus 6 was launched in 2018 when the higher refresh rates weren’t a standard. But thanks to developers of XDA, there is a way to overclock your display. Therefore here is How to Enable 70-72Hz on the OnePlus 6.

With this mod, you can overclock your OnePlus 6 display from the standard 60Hz to 70-72Hz. Typically higher refresh rate phones have a 90 or 120Hz display. Therefore a 70-72Hz upgrade on the OnePlus 6 might not sound a lot on paper but will surely make for a very smooth experience. For those who are concerned with the battery life impacts. Since the overclock is only of 10Hz, therefore there is a negligible effect on the battery. The best part of this Mod is that there are no chances of bricking your phone as the devs have made sure of it and you don’t even have to root your phone!
