OnePlus would prefer you use the OnePlus 5 with your eyes closed
Don't look too hard.
I feel for OnePlus these days, despite the opaqueness with which it is approaching the latest not-scandal involving the OnePlus 5. Almost immediately after launching in late June, some people began noticing a "jelly" effect on the phone's Optic AMOLED display while quickly scrolling through the phone's various screens, such as on a web page or a Twitter feed.
OnePlus acknowledged the visual curiosity, but said in a quote to Android Central and other outlets that all was functioning normally:
The OnePlus 5 uses the same level of high-quality components as all OnePlus devices, including the AMOLED display. We've received feedback from a small number of users saying that at times they notice a subtle visual effect when scrolling. This is natural and there's no variance in screens between devices.
XDA-Developers, for its part, began perpetuating a theory that due to a lack of space near the top of the phone's housing, thanks to its newly-installed dual camera system, the AMOLED display was actually inverted, which causes this "jelly" effect. OnePlus denies that this is a problem, and has instructed its customer service representatives to reinforce that claim at every opportunity.
This is one typical response:
This is natural and there's no variance in screens between devices. 3/3

But more recently, one OnePlus CSR gave a bit of a different angle to the story.
The screen so called jelly effect is caused by the user' eyes persistence of vision (visual staying phenomenon or duration of vision).

Indeed, what the person is implying is that it is not the screen, but our perception of the screen — nay, our physiological makeup entirely! — that is to blame here. In other words, you better get used to "seeing" the OnePlus 5 with your eyes closed. 😂
(Or, more likely, it is a poor translation and we shouldn't take it, or this post, seriously. Just use your OnePlus 5 and love it, k?)
Happy Friday, y'all!
