New rumors suggest that Motorola is working on a 105Hz display for its next flagship smartphone. The refresh rate is considered unusual, considering that most manufacturers use similar refresh rates in smartphones to those found in TVs and monitors, between 60Hz and 120Hz.
The information was released by journalist Mishaal Rehman, editor-in-chief of XDA, on his Twitter account.
Motorola is testing a default peak refresh rate of 105Hz for "nio". I've never seen a phone or display default to 105Hz, so it could just be something they're testing like how ASUS has a 160Hz mode on the ROG Phone 3. https://t.co/bUr8Jngek0

They suggest that Motorola would be developing studies with the 105 Hz screen to use it in the flagship “Nio”, which supposedly will succeed the Edge +In 2021.
Really?
Despite this, it is unlikely that the device will reach the market with this frequency as standard. This is because refresh rates of a display usually vary in multiples of 30 or 24Hz. This interval would be to reduce stuttering in image transmission, so that 105Hz is limited to device testing.
The most logical thing is that even with such specifications, Motorola ends up limiting the refresh rate from 105Hz to 90Hz, the same frequency used in the Edge, Edge + and Edge+ line of devices. Moto G 5G Plus.
Motorola could split the 105Hz screen refresh rate into 24 or 30Hz, so the flagship would lock the frequency at 90Hz when started by the user.
"I’ve never seen a 105Hz phone or display, so it could be something they’re testing, like ASUS has a 160Hz mode on the ROG Phone 3,” Rehman says. DAccording to him, there is more information about Motorola's new project. In addition to the 105Hz, the portal expects the company's next flagship to have a 6,7-inch screen, a 5.000 mAh battery, and a resolution of 2520 x1080. The Motorola "Nio" would also have in its most basic version a storage capacity of 128 GB, 8 GB of RAM, and a Snapdragon 865 SoC.
