Galaxy S23 .. Love the 120hz

Yeah it's pretty great, really smooth. I guess that's part of the experience. I've just been enjoying it, without realizing that it may be adding to the experience.

I keep my s20u on 60 mostly because I don't like to use battery optimization and would rather just turn 120 off. I don't even notice it unless I make direct comparisons. I leave the high refresh rate for my pc gaming. It's nice that it's an option though and I did use it for a little bit. I do t do anything that requires it on my phone though.

How do you turn off the 120hz. I only notice it when comparing. In fact I don't even need it like you said

[–] Ataraxia@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hmm not sure if it's the same for you but this is where it is for me. Search smoothness in setting and select the motion smoothness option.

[–] jcb2016@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm using Standard cause I'm always on battery saver mode, so I get longer battery of course. maybe it is on 60hz after all

[–] Ataraxia@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah and really, not noticeable. It's nice to have the option but I've never kept 120 on for very long. I could make my battery last regardless but I have a lot of idle time when working and use my phone a lot lol...

I'm happy with my choice of android after 2 years with an iPhone. i actually came over to android when my iPhone broke cause i wanted to install rif and use it all the time. now this happened with reddit. oh well there is jerobe and the desktop Ui. at least for now since everything is still new.
