16 October 2022
After the Nokia N-Gage and Xperia Play failed, there wasn't much market for gaming phones. Things changed, however, and now gaming phones are pushing the limits of display tech.

        Well, I love my Poco X4 GT with its high end 144hz IPS display. So much nicer than everything below it.

          I really don't care about high refresh rate, I always use my phone at 60hz. (Saves battery)

            When will they break out 2mp scam??

              Oneplus user, 16 Oct 2022This article makes me want to laugh at Apple even more, not... moreYou ever thought that the 14 is just a vehicle to upsell to the 14 Pro? The more you bash the 14 and 14 Plus, the better for Apple because that will push people towards the 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. You are actively working in favor of AppleS

                in mobile space the ipad pro did it first for mainstream, and from the start they had variable refresh rate (promotion 24-120hz)

                  I dislike how the push for 120hz has resulted in a sacrifice of screen resolution, I would much rather 1440p 60 Hz than 1080p 120hz.

                  Even more important is manual refresh rate control, the problem is for those of us in Europe where we have 25/50fps content, you get a lot of judder due to uneven frames being repeated, you also get judder with 24p content on 60 and 90hz, so the advantage of 120hz for me is the ability to properly watch 24fps film content.

                  I just bought a laptop with a 4k oled screen but it only refreshes at 60hz, Dell computers give you the option of 48hz, and Apple laptops I believe give you even more options.

                    I Changed my screen to 60hz and i don't miss 120hz or notice much difference.
                    The future probably for LTPO and dynamic refresh rate where you get 120hz only when needed.
                    As for now, 60hz is probably the best and even for gaming,most games don't support 120hz

                      playing games with 90hz or even above 120hz is too much for me, 60hz in games is the same as 90hz scrolling UI and browser as I see it.

                            This article makes me want to laugh at Apple even more, not only IPhone 14 and 14 plus have a large ugly notch but they also only got a 60hz display. Both of those cost 1000€+ in most of the world. So once again big L to Apple

                              Sharp was first to use screen able to go 1-120Hz and 1-240Hz

                                Sharp Zero = forst 240Hz ( no blackframes this one)

                                      Sharp made a 120hz IGZO phone back in 2015, namely the SH-01H. Though it is not available worldwide, I do feel and believe the title of the first 120hz phone should go to Sharp's line of phone - Aquos
