Apple iPhone 16 loses out to Samsung Galaxy A35 and Google Pixel 8a in DxOMark display analysis
Is 60hz really considered lacking for phone screen nowadays? Who cares about a high refresh rate when I'm reading an article, watching a video or browse social media? Seems like a scam as it's not like those videos are suddenly also 120hz or 144hz at the source.
I've been using mid-ranger phones since ~2018 or so. From my perspective, other than the camera, mid-range devices were "good enough" by that point.
That being said when I upgraded to my A73, I definitely noticed the high refresh rate AMOLED display. The colours were more vibrant and the animations noticeably smoother.
It's not a critical thing, I could easily go back to an a 60 hz device, but if the price is reasonable, I would prefer to have an above 60 hz screen.
I agree that it would make things feel a bit smoother, but refresh rate has nothing to do with the colours and phones usually have some adaptive refresh rate settings, lowering it down to 5fps when reading text and bringing it back up for video and games (edit starts here), to save on battery settings. So when is 90hz or 120hz actually used, outside of benchmarks?
edit: oops I missed some text, added now
It's for smoother scrolling. Worth it, imho, if you use your phone a lot. Much easier on the eyes.
