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.

In all honesty, that looks like an effect, not a bug. Now, it should be an effect that can be disabled, yes, but there is nothing about that, that does not look like an effect.

I mean, if it was a "bug" caused by "laggy low FPS non-vsync scrolling" then it wouldn't have an effect. By that, i mean, the if you push down on a scrolling screen, what you are pushing towards would not "scrunch" and what you are pushing away from would not "stretch", which is exactly what is happening in that video. Instead, both things would be doing the exact same thing, either scrunching, or stretching, due to "laggy low FPS non-vsync scrolling"

Knowing the XDA community there must some kind of custom ROM out there. If it's an effect you'll know after flashing the thing

Kinda curious what causes this.

WOW! OP5 already looks 98% like an iPhone, and now OP makes excuses just like Apple (word to word!)!

OP, you then need to go full Apple-style and say that users are holding it or swiping it wrong!

My dissapointment in OP doesn't stop growing.

Say it with me:

My OnePlus 5 does this so slightly. You really do have to look hard, and even then, it looks like a deliberate effect more than anything.

I hadn't noticed it before reading this, and I had to look quite hard to see it on mine.
