High-end phones that have launched this year have featured refresh rate options such as 90Hz, 120Hz, and 144Hz. Fresh information reveals that Motorola is working on a flagship phone that may offer an unusual refresh rate of 105Hz. This phone is the mysterious “Nio” codenamed handset that is rumored to launch in the first quarter of 2021.
According to Mishaal Rahmaan from XDA Developers, Motorola is testing a default refresh rate of 105Hz for the Nio handset. However, there is no confirmation whether the device will arrive with support for 105Hz refresh rate.
Before ASUS unveiled the ROG Phone 3 gaming smartphone, it was testing a 160Hz refresh rate mode. However, the handset went official with support for a 144Hz refresh rate. Hence, there is a possibility that the Lenovo-owned firm could only be testing a higher refresh rate mode on Nio and it may release in the market with 90Hz.
Rumors surrounding the Motorola Nio phone has revealed that it has a model number of XT2125, and it is fitted with a display that supports a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2520 pixels. It will be driven by the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform. The smartphone is expected to arrive with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. There are speculations that the device may have a higher model with 12 G of RAM and 256 GB of storage.
The Motorola Nio could be flaunting a dual camera setup on the front. It may comprise of a 16-megapixel main ultrawide camera and an 8-megapixel lens. The rear camera setup may include a 64-megapixel main sensor, a 16-megapixel superwide lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. It may draw power from a 5,000mAh battery and it will be loaded with the latest Android 11 OS.
