AutoHz lets you control app refresh rate on Oneplus 8 Series

AutoHz lets you control app refresh rate on Oneplus 8 Series.
OnePlus offers a 120Hz high refresh rate display and also allows the same to be set at maximum QHD+ resolution. However, the maximum 120Hz setting is not set across all the apps uniformly.
XDA Recognized Developer arter97‘s has developed an app AutoHz which lets you set refresh rates for every app on your phone.
In OnePlus stock settings, the device run at a constant 60Hz refresh rate, and 90Hz/120Hz acts as an auto option which switches the refresh rate back to 60Hz in certain conditions.One can enable the 90Hz/120Hz through the ADB command but that would increase the power consumption on your device.
AutoHz app provides a 90Hz refresh rate on the OnePlus 8 and a 120Hz refresh rate on the OnePlus 8 Pro. The app lets you control how and when your OnePlus device switches to 60Hz or 90/120Hz. The app is specifically made for OnePlus devices with high-refresh-rate displays and runs on Oxygen OS.
AutoHz is a paid application and also requires a one-time setup with ADB. There is a list of installed apps and a toggle beside each app. The 60Hz,90Hz, and 120Hz settings set the display refresh rate within that app and the Auto setting keeps the system’s default behavior for that particular app.
There is no 90Hz midway setting for Oneplus 8 Pro, you can either choose 60Hz or 120Hz.AutoHz app is available on the Google play store.AutoHz only works on OnePlus 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro, 8, and 8 Pro running OxygenOS.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE Camera Details Leaked: Not Much Has Changed

New leaks have revealed more details about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, and so far, the changes look minor. A report also suggested that the selfie camera would be upgraded and that the phone would keep the same 50 MP main rear camera as last year’s model, the S24 FE.
Now, new information has surfaced about the telephoto and ultrawide cameras—and it’s not great news. The telephoto camera will still be an 8 MP sensor with 3x optical zoom, just like the one on the S24 FE.
Many people expected better, especially for a phone in this price range launching in 2025. Still, it’s worth noting that the S25 FE at least has a dedicated telephoto lens, unlike the S25 Edge, which reportedly doesn’t include one at all.
The ultrawide camera will also stay the same—a 12 MP sensor, again similar to the S24 FE. So, if the leaks are accurate, the only noticeable camera improvement in the S25 FE will be on the front-facing selfie camera.
In terms of performance, the S25 FE is expected to feature a slightly better processor. Instead of the Exynos 2400e found in the S24 FE, it will use the full version of the Exynos 2400.
So far, the Galaxy S25 FE seems to be a very small upgrade over its predecessor. The main rear camera, ultrawide, and telephoto lenses are all expected to remain the same. The only real upgrades could be the selfie camera and a slightly better chipset. Whether Samsung has more surprises in store remains to be seen.

Launch Timeline
The Nothing Phone (3) is set to launch in the third quarter of 2025, which is between July and September. Since the Phone (2) launched in July 2023, it is likely that the Phone (3) will also be released in July 2025.
