Just got a new phone (OnePlus Nord 3), turned refresh rate HUD in developer settings and I see some parts of the system and some apps display 120 Hz but I have problem noticing any difference, same with my wife’s Redmi Note 12, i have to look very carefully and maaaybe I notice some different, not sure
In some cases I think it’s actually worse. When scrolling through my code on 60hz, I can still read some words, because it’s in the same place long enough. On 120hz, it’s just a blur whilst scrolling, my eye can’t focus on any words to read them.
For gaming it’s nice because it reduces input lag, but when playing a game where the timing isn’t that tight, it doesn’t matter much.
Should be the other way around. Motion clarity goes up with refresh rate.
