OnePlus 5 Plagued by Jelly Scrolling Effect

The OnePlus 5 seems to be plagued by what is now called the Jelly Scrolling effect. OnePlus claims its a 'natural' effect. But that almost looks like laggy low FPS non-vsync scrolling. When you scroll through content it seems to stretch, and it's not officially known what the cause of it is.

The effect is now described as jelly scrolling, oneplus in a statement says:

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.

The manufacturer claims it happens only with a small number of people, but that should be rewritten as: only a small number of people reported it to oneplus. The oneplus 5 was released this week.

OnePlus fiddling around with a super laggy display problem on its flagship, and claiming it’s “natural” and normal, come on now.

I don't see it stretching, I see part of the screen going and the other part having to catch up to it.

Say it with me:

"It's not a bug, it's a feature."

Improper synchronization due to the screen being upside down without the code compensating, sounds like a killer feature. OnePlus continue their legendary quality.
