So, while the OnePlus 8 Pro will likely support WQHD+ at 120Hz, the upcoming Galaxy S20 is tipped to offer either FHD+ at 120Hz or WQHD at 60Hz. If that turns out to be true, the OnePlus 8 Pro will likely smoke Samsung’s flagship offers in the display department while being offered at a cheaper price. At the moment, it is not exactly known when the OnePlus 8 lineup will be announced, but we’re sure Pete Lau might reveal some information during the upcoming Mobile World Congress 2020, which is scheduled to take place next month.
