Do you care about screen refresh rate?

As always, as soon as Apple announces their new iPhones, the internet immediately begins debating and analyzing every feature and design choice and square in...

I’d probably keep it at 90 or above which, like you said, is pretty common among android phones. Currently running 120 but didn’t notice much difference either from the 90 of my OnePlus 7 pro.

DarkPikaJP What phone do you have now?

In theory, a higher refresh rate should equal a better quality picture because it cuts down on blurriness. A 120Hz display decreases the appearance of “film judder” or blurring that might be noticeable to some on a 60Hz screen. Improvements beyond a 120Hz refresh rate are unnoticeable.

DarkPikaJP Do you like it?

Heyo I’ll try to write up a review over the weekend. Overall it’s ok but definitely not my favorite. I had hoped to keep away from Samsung after the whole Note Battery Explosions but got this for a pretty good deal. Had thought about just buying a slightly used 7pro again but with it not having 5g, it’d kinda be a waste of money.

Heyo

DarkPikaJP Yeah that makes sense about Samsung. I try to stay away too but their hardware is just so good lol.

And I’m really losing my excitement for OnePlus of late with everything they’ve done with the new phones and OxygenOS 13.

Do you get good 5G where you are? I haven’t noticed a huge difference for me. But maybe I’m just not paying attention lol.

Once I used 120Hz, it’s hard to go back 😅

Heyo

Marvin Haha yeah I get that.

I does matter, it feels very good for me to have high refreshing rate. However, yes, however, it frustrates me when it started to suck up my battery.

J’ai toujours eu des smartphones avec un taux de 60Hz mais c’est vrai que par moment, on voit que l’écran a un peu de mal (c’est pas fluide).

Je pense que si je passe sur un smartphone avec un taux de 90 ou 120Hz, je vais voir la différence, c’est sûr et j’aurai du mal à retourner en arrière, même si la batterie descend un peu plus vite 😅

Heyo I don’t and I understand the feeling with OnePlus. The idea with this phone was to get something that’ll last for years instead of changing each year like I was doing 😅

It depends on the usage scenario. In my opinione for the normal task like browsing, WhatsApp, taking pictures 60 Hz is smooth enough, but when gamin FPS 120 would be a much better refresh rate.

Menguelez

Matthias I agree with you, normally 60hz is fine for all
