- David Josephson: I always keep my Mi 10T Pro at 144hz, honestly I didn’t notice the battery usage! The 144hz screen refresh rate is amazing and smooth. Even if you play games on games that support high frame rates, there is a big difference in obtaining PC quality refresh rates!
- Secco: I like the smoothness of 90hz on OnePlus 7 Pro. If I buy a new phone, I won’t get any lower prices.
- Joe Black: Both of my mobile phones are 90Hz, which will soon become 120/144. I don’t care about it.
It’s just a mobile phone, I don’t care, I’m not playing games or doing any serious things, but notifications, occasional browsing, photography, etc. - Sandip: Well, my S20+ has 120 Hz, but due to heating and a lot of battery consumption, I leave it at 60.
- The last camp: 60Hz. I kept my phone because I didn’t see much motivation to upgrade. I don’t like the direction that many companies charge more with less prices, so it limits my options. More options are always welcome, I will use a higher refresh rate when possible, but it does affect battery life and is not an important factor in the phone.
- Second glance: When it comes to daily battery life, I am stingy. As an advanced user and gamer, I want all the SOT that I can get after a full charge. When more mobile games support higher refresh rates, I might consider changing my preferences. Until then, 60Hz will be my default value.
- DBS Bank: 60Hz, I have no intention to surpass it. I have used a phone with a higher refresh rate, but I can’t see the difference. Therefore, the lack of a high refresh rate on the phone is not a problem at all for me. Unlike the lack of expandable storage and a headphone jack.
- Gianluca Di Maggio: I have ZenFone 8, so 120 Hz. But I would say that 90 Hz on the phone should be the manufacturer’s goal, there is not much visual difference, but the battery life is longer. If this phone does not struggle with low-brightness colors so badly in 90 Hz mode, I would use it instead.
