How to Adjust Your Galaxy Phone's Refresh Rate

Refresh rate is the number of times a display can update its image in 1 second. The refresh rate is usually expressed in Hertz (e.g. 60 Hz). The higher the Hertz or refresh rate (like 120 Hz), the faster your screen responds and refreshes. This means using your phone will be more fluid.

For mobile gamers, a higher refresh rate may be more important as games will have less lag and stuttering. There will be smoother animation, even if you’re playing online.  Movies and videos with a lot of motion will also look more realistic.

A high refresh rate will allow you to enjoy more realistic animations and give you a smoother gaming experience. However, during moments when you want to save on your phone's battery life, you have the option of changing the refresh rate in Settings.

Step 1. Go to Settings and select Display.

Step 2. Tap on Motion smoothness, and then choose your desired option:

Standard - A 60 Hz refresh rate. Use this if you want to save your battery life.

Adaptive - A 120 Hz refresh rate, which will have all the benefits mentioned above.
