120hz or 60hz for S20+ battery life?

[AARON BRYANT2]

I'm sure higher resolution is more important on Ultra and Plus than it is on Regular.

You probably right! If i had the smaller S20 i wouldn't care so much for resolution since the screen is smaller and probably have higher ppi than the ultra.

Not me. The 120 is more important. There's several YouTube videos that say the same thing. Better display is not that noticable if any.

Refresh rate is never noteceable for me on Ultra or other devices which had 120hz like iPad pro or 90hz like Pixel 4 XL. I feel no difference going between all of those and even my iPhone 11 pro max which is 60 hz.

Today I switched to high resolution instead just for the sake of it

I've gone back and forth on display, I notice the refresh rate more. Just goes to show everyone has different things they want and notice

so now the debate is resolutions vs refresh rate. are there any videos on comparing the different resolutions on the S20 or is this something better seen in person with phone in hand

Just the fact that you can't watch true 4k video content. or anything high-res because you are forced to 1080p really sucks. I love watching 4k videos too much to give up the high resolution - the beautiful screen is a major reason why I love the galaxy series so much. I wish they would come out with some auto-mode, where the high resolution is automatically enabled when viewing high-res content.

m I the only one who is blind and can't notice any difference between 120 hz and 60 hz?

I notice it a lot on the web pages on the browser. Scroll up and down fast and you should be able to see it. The 60 is a little choppy, the 120 smooth.

All it really does is smooth out the scrolling, and if you are a mobile gamer - its a much better experience. As far as fast response, and transition between apps and screens - you can just reduce animations in advanced features, and also enable developer mode to beef up all transition speeds. Makes one UI lightning fast.

That's what it's supposed to do, I thought anyway

If you have to note that way to see the difference does it even matter?

Btw I don't do much gaming. If I do its on my iPad.

 

[Mike Dee]

I'll take faster refresh over resolution for faster response. I hope they eventually allow high refresh on the higher resolution. I don't care about battery life if that's the issue.

What matters to me is different then what matters to you. I was just trying to show you a way to see the difference is all

I've only had experience with 90hz , 120 gotta be really smooth

 

[Beachboy63]

Nope. I cannot discern a difference either. Have a Pixel 4XL at 90 Hertz in addition to my Note 10+ at 60hz. Had an S20 plus at 120hz for 2 weeks before I returned it. All great phones with nice screens but I could not tell any difference, despite my attempts. Old eyes perhaps. Good news is I can turn it off and get a touch better battery life without feeling like I'm missing anything.

I spend more time scrolling, 120 it is.

I think the 240 hz touch response is more apparent than the 120 hz screen.. that makes the response alot faster.

96hz with the hidden setting

[dov1978]

96 works great but wish you could use it with WQHD+

 

[bhatech]

Personally not worth setting to 90hz with some hidden setting for saving 6% of battery. Anyway battery life was not a problem on 120 hz for me. Granted I could not make that much difference in experience between all that refresh rates and could just drop back to 60Hz
