Use gpu watch in developer options. My s21 ultra does go down to whatever content is displayed ie 30 Hz on 30 fps video 60 48 20 sometimes 10 with static images. the fps counter clearly can only show 48 60 and 120. With gpu watch you can see the actual screen fps ramp up and down while tiping this its at 27 Hz, when I scroll ramps to 120 and than comes back again to 27. So it totally works as advertised really cool to see it in action Exynos version btw, probably holds true for the s22 and s23 aswell
Those are the fps not the refresh rate, which means that you are seeing the frames that are being created by the gpu, not the refresh rate of the screen. Seems to me that the video is right regarding the refresh rate.
something to consider also is that app developers now have the option to optimise their apps to change the refresh rate based on the content being shown, so maybe a year or two we will see things like RUclips videos at 30fps in full screen putting the phone in 30hz refresh rate when you're not touching it
After doing many tests, my S21U never went to 10hz (not even on static pictures). The lowest I managed to go were 48hz (using Galaxy Max Hz otherwise the lowest I saw was 60hz). 10hz never showed up, not even on AoD. I was reading online and it seems this feature is not optimized correctly yet. Quite sad tbh
no they didn't lie but I think they disabled it from the software cuz the lower the refresh rate it will be more lagy or just they display is not fast to change from 10 to 24 , 30 , 48 , 50 , 60 , 90 , 120 if they could did it like this it will be so much battery efficient 🔥
The frame rate display that's in the Dev settings doesn't seem to work asit should. The Ultra model goes down to 10hrtz and the two regular models go down to 48hrtz. I tried using that fps meter to do the same thing but without a reliable outcome.
Thanks for making me know more about Adaptive Refresh Rates. Please also Test the Adaptive Refresh Rates in the upcoming ONEPLUS 9 Pro after it's launch. Is 1+ 9pro refresh the display the same as Samsung S21 ultra or much better than that ??? Keep it up 👍🏼☺️
Unfortunately developers don't care about optimization for android. Despite innovation by Samsung, google and app developers don't work well in a team with samsung which always leads to poor optimization compared to apple. Google should work closely with samsung to make yhe best phone and software
AOD will be stuck at 120hz if you turn screen off in low light environment or if screen brightness almost at lowest. It will remain at 120hz until you turn on the screen in a brighter environment, or change brightness higher (like 10%+), before turning screen off again. You can turn on refresh rate counter in Developer Options to see what I mean. AOD will only go to 60hz if you are not in a dark environment and if your screen brightness is not near lowest.
Maybe if they s21 n s21 plus didn't have adaptive refresh rate they might have better worked on their software which would go as Low as 1hz I wish they had that cause always on display only needs 1hz for no reason its adapted to 60hz and u could force it 2 48hz the lowest it would make more sence if they s21 n plus had high n not adaptive while ultra having 1-120hz would have been better cause that way it would be easier since samsung would have 2 work on less device they might have came with a better software that can go from 1-120hz rather than 48 or 60hz
Agree and here we go again with the same fanboy defending Samsung in s22 again. Gonna thanks these fanboy for supporting Samsung scam year over year right
@@Joker-yu5kp I have exynos version, so it might be an issue too. If you try photo and video editing on both, you'll understand what I'm talking about, iphone is much faster, smoother and much more optimised. Its camera gives much more consistent result and huge benefit for editing with apple pro raw. Portrait mode is much better too. There's a lot of photo/video apps much better on iphone like focos, even longer, moment pro camera app. Android alternative looks like a child play. Samsung stuffed with gimmicks and half baked features like single take, 8k video, 108 mp. Even Dex is buggy on my LG CX and battery life is just weak, with balanced flagship use i get 5-6 hours screen on time, to get 7-8 you have to disable everything, including 720p 60hz. And then they release expert raw app and i was so excited until i realized its buffer only 3 shots ! And its very slow. I don't know why people say s21u has more features its the iPhone that does. If you need to change icon colors or shapes, than sure android is better, but you have to be like 15 years old to pick that over reliability and consistency.
@Per Mol it's the opposite for me, maybe something is wrong with your phone, you just had a horrible experience, my s21u has zero issue and i prefer it to iphone
@@Joker-yu5kp i compare to my friends note 20 ultra and its basically has the same issuse, but he doesn't not care for it. And he's OK with 720p60 hz and blurry portrait, he didn't find it to be important. It just depends on use cases but for mine, IPhone is much more appealing.
Do a battery test comparing On vs Off

that is showing the fps not the refresh rate of the screen i did this on my s21 and it got below 48 wich it cant do

Would never happen. it only goes down to 48fps
30 fps? You do know 60hz can be applied to youtube?

Try to record AOD using high fps camera
So far I have not seen any power saving on the S21 Adaptive Refresh Rate.
Welcome to the Marketing of Samsung 😂
I think it's doesn't go to 10 Hz bcs it's showing FPS meter In the screen

It does go to 10ghz when reading a "book" on your phone. I tested it. It works. Wish it happend more often but it does work. US snapdragon version.

Is it smooth though because i want to experience 120 hz with this phone or can i turn it off? Just to leave it at a locked 120.
I kind of forgot about how it lowers itself due too being adaptive and wondered if my phone was lagging out or overheating
didn't mention when the always on display is off and the frame its on then which is lower than you always keeping it on. genius.

My s21ultra always work 120hz on always on 6p hz what can i do
One question. S21 snapdragon version has support esim?
No
You move too fast to figure out what buttons to touch to set up 120hz refresh rate!!!!
My refresh rate stays at 120, any reason why this would be?
Increase your brightness because the adaptive refresh rate doesn't work when your brightness is very low
@@medo-uk1yd interesting, might that be because of colour switching?
Things will improve on time
I turned on 48 hz in settings and I can't find that option to turn off. Anyone help?
developer option
my s21 ultra the dynamic refresh is from 120 and drops to 60 i downloaded an app and this is how it showed me
Use gpu watch in developer options the dynamic refresh rate does work as advertised

Great video
Where can we get that beautiful Wallpaper??? Please reply
Doesn't it go till 10hz?
It's supposed to, but I haven't seen anybody report their refresh rate drop below 48hz.... very disappointing, and a straight up lie by samsung
Like you sir all the best for your future sir
The show refresh rate built in in s21+ is inaccurate. I played Genshin impact with frame drops and still 60 fps lol HAHAHAHAH
Please share the wallpaper asap
I prefer constant 120hz. The S20 would be the better choice
enjoy the 30 min of battery life lol
Good findings. Tho the AOD would turn off if the phone is in your pocket
Have you tried power saving mode?
When you turn the power saving mode, it stays at 60 hz all the time.. weird
@@nino_kO1 You can use battery saving and 120hz. Search on RUclips

LOL PUBG was stuttering so bad but was somehow at 120hz so bad the optimization on this phone
Refresh rate isn't fps, just so you know
To have such a big battery on this phone the battery sucks 😤
It's doing alot of things it is still a great trade
What the fuck pubg only support 90hz
Did samsung lie?
I need major helppp
Very good test, interesting
S21 ultra is best
