DISPLAY

The 6.5in IPS LCD on

the phone’s front is

pleasingly sizeable and

sharp, making it great

for enjoying media.

While you shouldn’t

expect the same vibrant

colours and greater

contrast of the 7 Pro’s

OLED display, the 7

5G’s screen still grants

you a great viewing

experience all the same.

It trumps both other

members of the 7 series

with regards to its super-

smooth 120Hz high

refresh rate, paired with

an equally respectable

180Hz high touch

response rate, making it

ideal for gaming.

If you do struggle

with the sheer size of

the 7 5G’s screen at

all, there is the option of a one-handed

mode, that shrinks down the UI within

the phone’s settings; along with a

number of display customization options,

including colour temperature control and

refresh rate control (letting you lock it at

60Hz,120Hzorhaveit settoautomatic

• the adaptive default setting).
