Use a 90hz phone for a day. Then Check again. That's when you feel a difference. Give some time to your eyes to adapt 90hz once it's done you will see a difference between 90hz and 60hz
EDIT: FOR EVERYONE WHO SAYS THAT THEY DON'T SEE A DIFFERENCE, TRY WITH 120, 144HZ PHONES, IF YOU CAN. 60 vs 90 is not a magic change, it's subtle.
Life is an Art this tbh
Was about to comment the same. Use it a day or 2, surely ll tell the difference
But if you can’t notice it to begin with, is it really necessary?
yep, always watching vids at 60 fps in yt bt when i watch a video at 30 fps its just like motion blurred
Exactly there is difference, I've experienced now.. 👍
Used the 90hz for one day and 60hz for one day. I could easily tell the difference.. In Battery Life xD
true
Okay, now at least I know that more Hz means more battery drainage
Bro how percent of battery drain more with 90hz than 60Hz?
I just browsing + fb+ utube etc...
lol
That's a good one🤣
Just ask your participants to scroll through this comment section and then they'll know it..
Exactly..scrolling is where you will feel the most difference.
So you guys buy it just to frel the scrolling? Jk🤣
yup I don’t really find the point of sacrificing so much battery just for smoother scrolling
@@m4ster_gun I also don't find the point of sacrificing battery just for a skin device *cough* iPhone *cough*
Mai O' Nerds using social.media apps you're mostly justing scrolling through the feed on your phone so you definitely feel the difference
I have a OnePlus 7 pro and when I pick up any other 60 hz phone, it feels sluggish and slow
yes me to. I would never go back to 60 Hz.
same
But isn't.
@@lilmoris1 It is.
@@nexus_aor7623 No, it isn't.
I was using iphone 8 plus before using one plus 7T. After two months, when i came back to iphone 8 plus to fetch something from the iphone, you can REALLY tell the difference. I am not even a phone geek to realise that. I bought my 7T without knowing about 90hz screen refresh at first. Bought it just for fast charging.
Yh could be that
@DNB Catalina no it's the refresh rate.. I've been using the X2 pro for a few weeks now and the difference is clear if I use any other phone with standard 60hz refresh rate.
@@raaaaqj4uh But still it's not worth it!
And just works as a gimmick!
@@desertdust6969 if the phone you're currently using is good enough but you're buying a new phone just for the high refresh rate then yes, that would not be worth it. But I would consider a higher refresh rate a better 'gimmick' than wireless charging. It does make a little difference in daily use albeit small. Also let's be honest, when it comes to flagships it's all about gimmicks anyway because any budget phone can offer you the bare essentials of a smartphone.
@@raaaaqj4uh It doesn't make any difference unless you play games which support that refresh rate or you pay close attention to every single frame. Going from 60 to 90 isn't much of a diffrence if you are a average user!Going from 60 to 120 however gives reasonable difference!
Only If you play competitions then you need to get every edge on your enemy in that case it makes difference!
*I switched from OnePlus 7 Pro to iPhone 11 Pro Max and I miss the 90hz refresh rate display.*
Should’ve wait for iPhone 12.
Eragor the Kindhearted he’s probably a phone junkie
When I switched from 7 Pro to Note 10+ I did feel difference a lot but when I switched from 7 Pro to iPhone 11 Pro Max I see less difference.
Also in start I didn't see the difference but after getting used to smoothness of 90hz and 120hz I can feel the difference. But my cousins can't tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps video so
@Eragor the Kindhearted he's probably lying
@Eragor the Kindhearted I had the OnePlus 3 back in 2016! :D
The change comes when u switch back to 60Hz
then why would you want to go for 90hz in the first place if you can only tell the difference after the fact you revert to 60hz, i have a high refresh 144hz monitor myself and i do see the difference, but if you can't tell the diffrence side by side between 60hz and 90hz on a smartphone because the refresh rate is not high enough or the phone screen is too small and what not, i don't really see the point.
Especailly scince it drain your battery quite a bit more
I would really like to try it my self to see what it looks like in the real world tho
@@flxdrv5020 Nice reply, very reasonable.
@@flxdrv5020 agree with you on this. But the experience changes when you already have 90Hz. But when you haven't it may look like a complete waste. It's like there are folks who are a little more enthusiastic about the new stuff out there in tech.
@@flxdrv5020 it doesnt drain battery at all bairly noticable i tryed 60 vs 90 hz on my oneplus 7 pro there was 10 minute battery drain difference until battery ran out
so just dont buy a 90hz phone and you wont miss anything + you get better battery life
Thanks for making us 60 hz phone owners feel less out of touch...a little bit longer
This is how I felt when the smart phone industry went from FHD resolution, to QHD or 4K. I really don't see a need for it on such a small screen. I have my Note 9 set to FHD+ (2220 x 1080) and the screen looks fantastic!
I am the same with my S7 Edge as the battery isn't that strong anymore and 1080p is easier on battery life and basically looks the same, I only notice a difference when I drop to 720p.
But you can actually notice a difference between 1080p to 1440p
Setting your display resolution to FHD doesn't change the physical resolution (2K) of the display!
It just sets your rendering resolution to FHD hence less load on the SOC.
What you see still remains a 2K display but with FHD content.
I just switched from a 1440p phone to a 1080p phone, same screen size, and I notice it everyday.
@@thetechrealist well perhaps some eyes can notice it and some can't.
Bad execution of the experiment , pains me when they start guessing about UI and app opening speeds
Felt the same. How about telling them what to look for, but not telling them which phone has 90 and which has 60...pretty sure the results would be much different
Yea, they aren't doing stuff in which you could be able to see the difference like scrolling for example. They're just sitting there watching static content.
@@AllenSiyuboPeniel Yeah, something like that. Make them focus on the display and how it feels, but not tell them the critical difference. Otherwise the focus of the test is too far spread and the difference not noticable enough. Plus, even if they notice the difference there, they (as non-tech people) might not feel courageous enough to point out something as trivial as "this screen feels a tad faster". I mean, we're talking about 60 vs 90... The real difference begins with either sub 60 or 120 hz
Agree. Hey android authority hear us. Do the experiment again.
Also, he said "general" when it's just a small sample size no matter how diverse the users are. Stupid test.
I'm not sure about this result. I bought a Oneplus 7t a couple of weeks back and changing to 90hz, I could instantly notice the smoothness.
Placebo is real
@@Gggrrrrrrrr23 nope ain't placebo, you gotta see it for yourself to know
Enthusiasts can definitely tell the difference. Normal users can't.... 👍🏻
Are you sure it’s not the wifi chip or ram? /s
@@larsbertje9608 that cracked me up too hahahah
What do you think about the smoothness of the display
Grandma: this phone is lighter
You miss the point of a 90hz display, I guess. Microsoft has demonstrated years ago that touch latency is a big factor in usability and the natural feel of a touch screen. You need something less than 10ms for it feel like paint coming off your fingers as you touch the display. But a 60hz display, refreshes 60 times a second. That's once every 16.67ms. So, no matter how fast you make the touch input, your display won't be able to show anything less than 16.67ms, even though the touchscreen registers it. A 90 hz display refreshes every 11.1ms, so that's closer to the mark. So, you would feel an obvious difference primarily in fast swipes and drawing, not daily use.
Ok thanks 👍
This comment should be pinned.
Isn't that the touch response rate? Different from screen refresh rate?
One quick question to that: it doesn't make a noticeable difference in the normal use of a phone, say social media, movies and surfing in the web?
I am about to buy the iPhone 12, but as they failed to implement the 120 Hz display (If I recall correctly they tried it but there were some issues they couldn't fix in time so they got rid of it again) I am cautious about the idea that the next iPhone is gonna have 120 Hz, and it's gonna make all the difference in the world or not lol.
@@abhisheksharma07 The touch response rate is, in practice, limited by the screen's refresh rate, even if you make it higher than that your display won't be able to react as fast. Screen's refresh rate is the bottleneck to the touch response rate. So, yes, they are different but also related.
Calling this a psychology experiment you introduced bias in that the participants were on guard to see if there was actually something different between the phones or not. You prob could've skewed your data either way. You would have been better off asking them if one phone screen was faster than the other. People won't necessarily understand "speed" meaning hz in this scenario. Then have a control group with 2 phones at the same refresh rate. This is in no way conclusive to if the general public can decipher a difference.you don't want to know can people identify a difference. You want to know can people tell the difference between 60hz and 90hz
Excellent answer and yes the experiment is flawed
if they say that the contestants would specifically just look at the screen and just test the screen. Whereas in a normal use case scenario you just use the phone like these people were, just checking things, loading pages etc. In that sense, it was okay.
That's the whole experiment. It's to see if 90hz is so good that people would notice it right away and they didn't
@@shalinpilot That's fair but still the point remains, them comparing completely unrelated things like the ui, color or weight of the phone shows this test is very much flawed and the participants were trying to compare everything.
You can call this experiment flawed and call it a day BUT it doesn't negate the fact that none of these individuals could point out the difference and only a few could after being specifically told what to look for.
Even in the comments section, people mention that with their 90hz displays, they are unable to notice any difference unless they switch back to another phone after a long period of time.
According to these points, it seems that despite it's shortcomings, the results are not that far from the truth.
Another possibility could well be that not all individuals have the ability to perceive such kind of speed differences. Only a few with very acute vision and perceptive abilities might notice it right of the bat, and those are few in number. This then brings us to the actual utility of these high refresh rate display's, which is not much really.
Well there is a phone in the market with 240 Hz display. I think it's from SHARP Mobiles.
and Sharp didn't release a proper replacement for their Aquos Crystal and Crystal X... been waiting for years now...
there is no SOC that can support 240hz display. so it's a false claim.
Danish Khan I believe the 240Hz is referring to the touch response or something. It is actually a 120Hz screen.
Like Apple has a 120Hz touch response on their latest few generations of phones, but the displays have an actual refresh rate of 60.
sandip kayal He was referring to the touch response or whatever; which Apple and Sharp advertise because it is twice as much as the actual refresh rate, and it gets people excited lol.
R.I.P battery life
Everyone:
My brain: "DOES REALLY 90hz MATTER?"
Me right here
Definitely
Dude, you corrected the meme. "nobody:" would be like a double negative. Good job for that!
I've been using the OnePlus 7 pro at 90 Hz and I do see a difference. My old phone was the OnePlus 5T and I had them side by side both on 1080p and similar brightness. And I also noticed since I've been using the 7 pro for a while now
It's good that there isn't 90Hz everywhere like when you're calling someone for example. There's no need for 90Hz to be enabled during that obviously. I also don't need 90Hz to play games. When I'm surfing the web or watching a video, maybe, I'd like to see that high refresh rate.
That's what variable refresh rate is.
Watching videos is like the one thing where high refresh rate deasn't matter cause most videos are shot at 30 or 60 fps
ohh, so when you use high refresh rate for more than 3 days or even a week it becomes normal and you dont feel the smoothness compared to when you used it for the first time, so do you think i better not waist my money on that and better to get a phone with a very good processor than getting a phone with high refresh rate and normal processor ?
@@greenrico10 also youtube is restricted to 60hz as well
I'm almost positive I would be able to see a difference, when I went from 60hz to 75hz on a monitor I could definitely see a difference even though that is a tiny jump
yeah. its almost day and night.
bruh 60 to 75 is much smoother
that's why you should never touch higher hz monitor, you get spoiled. if i have one plus i would immediately set screen to 60hz, to avoid been spoiled. after being spoiled your pc need upgrade your monitor need upgrade. i said that because i experienced from not able to see the different between 30 and 60 to now 30 fps feels lagging.
i mean if you got money, there won't be a problem. in the video, all the people don't seem to ever have a high refresh rate monitor and that's why they can't see the difference
@@-seoulair I could only imagine 144hz
@@hollymolly518 yeah I went with 75hz because i got an ultrawide for some racing, and now to me 75hz looks okay and I want to get a 144hz 16:9 screen. PC gaming is a money pit but at least it's fun
my friends randomly take my phone and put it beside their phone so as to check if 90hz actually makes any difference while scrolling and stuff and they honestly mock it saying 'THEREZ NO DIFFRENCE'
But honestly saying its not the way to experience it
you must just use the device for extended period of time and as it grows on to you
then you must toggle it off by dialing it down to 60hz and you will surely feel the difference..
I can totally agree with you, It happened to me as well. I bought new studio monitors and didn't impressed with them but after a month going back to old speakers, they felt dull, lack of details and clarity. And now I can appreciate new one's
@@clickbaitpro exactly bro
You just don't need to be a cognoscente
Just let that sink into you and inherently you get a hang of it
Idk man i played some games on my friend's OnePlus 7t and really didn't feel that difference. Idk i might need to use a 90Hz myself to experience but still imo it's just a gimmick.
@@godwin8159 most games are locked at 60fps lmao
@@nopeyoudontknowmyname9153 yup man this is also a reason
But one plus is now force locking everything to 90hz
As those apps get updated to 90hz then experience would be nuts
I use a oneplus 6t and a few days ago I used my friend's oneplus 7 pro for a while and I noticed the 90 Hz refresh rate immediately! How can people not tell the difference?
Was wondering the same (my friend has the x2 pro)
cuz they invited a bunch of dumbasses to test it out maybe
Probably because they're not aware of what refresh rate even is and aren't looking for how fluid the tab animations are
Because in a phone it doesn't matter much. In pc yes it matters
You should just tell to look at the difference in display only.
For me it is essential, i can't stand 60hz "anymore" it is really draining my eyes.
does 90hz or 60hz cause the most eyestrain?
@@aktm1407 they don't cause eyestrain, it's a metaphor.
It's an essential for you, the Av Consumer is fine either way
For me I can't even tell the difference between 60 and 120. Probably because my eyes aren't 20/20 to begin with. All displays look blurry to me. LOL
@Dex4Sure it's for gaming and nothing else.
I'm rocking 120hz refresh rate all the time on rog 2 🤩
well you know how to drain a battery for sure
Yes omg finally someone like me.
@@sunsneeze no mate, I can use my phone while not gaming, adaptive brightness on for two goddamn days. TWO DAYS. it's got a 6000mAh battery man, of course we'll be never fearing charging always.
thats how people with rog2 rocking mate 🔥🔥🔥
Yup!
I've been using 90Hz for a few months and now 60 seems kinda slow to me. The difference is clear to me after I got used to 90, but at 1st when I was used to 60, I couldn't. It just takes some time
Yes please continue with the experiment. I just bought realme x2 pro and was expecting some cool revelation about the 90hz buzz. But nope, cant really tell the difference. The phone still good value for me even though i feel i got scammed with all the 90hz hype. This is interesting experiment, please continue with the 120hz and so on. Good job mate!!!
been on 144hz monitor for 5 years now, i think ppl will be able to tell the difference from 60. on phone.
Well, your monitor is probably not 6.5" .. that's the point.
@@GeirEivindMork but you dont use your phone at monitor distance either.
been on 240 for two years, 60 and 90 equally bad for me now😂
@@gamerdude3126 um bigger the screen the more you can tell buddy.
@@gamerdude3126 the smaller displays are, its harder to tell the pixel density and resolution, this also includes the refresh rate. Therefore you literally have to put phones side by side to notice. But on the regular basis almost impossible to tell since most apps doesn't support beyond 60hz yet.
It's good to have the option to switch when needed but even if I have I would choose battery life over smoothness. I have used 90, 120hz phones and the difference is visable only when you consciously compare both.
This video came at the right time for me lol. I've just got the Realme X2 Pro and I've been using the Galaxy S9. Turns out that I still feel the S9's display is better than the Realme X2 Pro even with the 90Hz refresh rate. It's not as good as some tech RUclipsrs have made it to be.

It takes time to our EYE to adapt the changes .. n short brief no1 will notice the difference i use my op7t in 90hz and when i used my friends phone op7t for sometimes i felt weird to my eye . After sometimes I realized its was in 60hz.
I am typing this on my ROG phone 2; it's a really smooth feeling at 90/120HZ, but it's not really a game changer, I can live without it..
As long as you're not doing something that takes advantage of the high refresh rate it is hard to notice a difference. Basically it's like content creators going for a more colour accurate and higher resolution screen and gamers going for a higher refresh rate screen.
After using 7pro for 7months when I use other phones with 60hz they seems to lag.
It takes few hours for my eyes to adjust to 60hz display and it doesn't feel like lagging.

Yes we do need 90Hz displays.
Remember, 90Hz will pave way for higher refresh rates than 90. If you ignore 90, they'll ignore 120, 144, 240Hz
I legit don't even notice the difference on that small of a screen lol. I say just keep high refresh rates for big monitors and tv's that can take advantage of the high refresh rate.
but we dont need to pave the way for 240hz. once you get to 90 almost nobody can notice anything above that. especially since we're talking phones here.
@@JewTube001 it doesn't matter, it's always better to have options. New Technology makes future technology possible in ways we can't imagine
@@JewTube001 *120
Dude, percentage of increments in refresh rate can't be a very good indicator of how good it'd be when I moved from 60 to 90 HZ the difference was night and day. Or as Linus's new video in collaboration with shroud and Nvidia shows that 60 to 144 is huge and 144 to 240 is not that huge a leap
I can definitely see the difference, try swiping up to go to home, you can see the app window getting smaller step by step. 90hz is much much smoother
agree 100%
You could improve the experiment further by doing a double blind experiment and also having a control sample, where some groups are given phones that are both at 120 hz and both at 60 hz
Well after using 90hz phone for a few months now I'll never buy a 60hz phone again.
why?
Go buy 120hz
Because he know owns 90hz phone hi uses it. And after two years companies will force 90 or 120 Hz to justify high prices so this is why 😂
@@jarekrzepski3447 i just love laugh at these clueless morons - sent from a 165hz monitor
I have iPad Pro 12.9 with 120hz display and S10+ but I both feel smooth. I don’t play games but in normal usage, I can’t tell!
Upgraded to a OnePlus 7t and it's 90hz display. Never going back again to 60hz for sure. After using a high refresh panel, 60 Hz feels janky now. Spoilt for life.
I noticed a massive difference right away going from 60hz to 120hz. it's SUCH a massive difference to me. Im shocked honestly that these people can't tell. maybe the test wasn't the right one for them? maybe if you said they should look into scrolling or something. it's sad that my s20 fe has so much stutter that it only stays at 120hz 10% of the time
There's just no way this people can't see the difference. When a friend showed me his new phone (one+ 7 pro), I noticed the smoothness immediately
Exactly I'm not sure these people were smart enough to use the phones in a way that would make the refresh rate noticable he set the experiment up to fail didn't give any direction and asked the wrong question
I started noticing 75Hz after two days of the initial overclock I did, sometimes my monitor reset back to 60Hz and most of the time I feel "something's wrong" and go back to change it.
Yep, it does. Well, it does not matter according to some who ask "Why 120Hz? Isn't 60Hz enough?". With that attitude we would have no innovations at all. Boring people.
If they wish they can put 240hz. More money for them
Just like my grandpa. He always complains about new stuff like the internet. "Why do we need this garbage?! It worked before!" I answered: "We also dont need electricity or houses, it worked before!" He didnt say anything after that :D
Yeah, i agree with that.
But im pretty much can adapt to another refresh screen rate pretty easy.
I've been using 144hz for 2 years then 240hz for 6 months.
And i still can use my 60hz screen just fine without any adjustments.
Heck, i even still played some of my games @30fs today😂😂😂😂.
It maybe similar on a phone i think.
I'm not a choosy person, so anything above 60hz doesnt really affect me. I used my friend's iPad Pro for a week or so, and when I went back to 60hz, it didn't take me a long time to get used to it again.
It's more of a gimmick for normal everyday stuff since it doesnt really add anything aside from the smoother and "faster" experience. And other than games, nothing benefits from 90hz, not even videos, lol.
I've used the OnePlus 7t pro at 90Hz. The difference was very obvious as soon as I swiped up to open the app drawer. These participants are weird.
I see people saying after using one and going back THEN you'll notice it...so if I NEVER use a 90 hz phone, I would NOT notice the 60 hz lag? (I don't notice it now since I never used one) .
Very subjective. I saw this years pixel phones in a tech store just a couple days ago and noticed the 90Hz immediately, without knowing they were 90Hz.
I can argue that on first impression, people might not be able to tell the difference between the two but after using a 90hz display for weeks, you do start noticing the clear difference in smoothness. To the point that scrolling on 60hz feels a bit jittery.
You got the same response because you set a wrong question
You gotta compare text scrolling, and track the text with your eyes. 60hz will look slightly blurrier.

Try asking how long, does the subjects use a phone, how often.. maybe that is a factor.. some may not notice since they don't use the phone that much
After using asus rog phone 2 with 120hz display i just cant go back to 60hz.....
It is not about seeing, it is "feeling" the difference.
Displays with higher refresh rates are more comfortable to the eyes, especially on long periods and terms of use.
If you know it's a higher refresh rate screen, you'll see it. And you can feel the smoothness
Yeah that's called placebo my dude
90hz can be unnoticeable but try same experiment with 120hz then it would be a bigger difference, and higher refresh rate are easily noticed while gaming .
But then 90hz vs 120hz won't make a difference... according to your theory 😂😂🙈
RashmiJr. nah it definitely does
60vs90vs120 with 120 you it definitely feels hella smooth compared to 60 and theres a noticeable difference in smoothness between 90 and 120. Dont ask me if i ever tried them cause i own a op7pro, iPhone xs max, ipad pro 10.5 and a gaming lap with 120hz monitor. so well yea i can pretty much see a difference
@@gtsishere yaa I know it will buddy 😊.. but according to AA 60-90 doesn't matter so does 90-120 ... Those who r using 90hz already will not feel a difference
Yes barely, what's your point though?
@@rashmiranjanbaral2115 Haha yes the heap paradox
For me it's a quite noticable difference. I'm sure almost all of them would have been able to tell which phone has the display with the higher refresh rate if they would have been asked that question.
It for sure makes a difference to me, but I'm also one of those weirdos that wants 12 GB of RAM 😂
Definitely, If you used a 90hz screen and above you can't go back. 60hz feels like stuttering.
90hz is the sweet spot though, at least until battery capacity and/or battery management improves leaps and bounds.. If that comes, 144hz Oled screen baby.
Guys I am using OnePlus 7 pro... And yes u cant tell difference between 90Hz and 60Hz unless u turn it into 60Hz... 😉
I think a fairer test would be to ask them which one they thing is the 90hz even, as u mentioned they were even testing the battery life and the speakers so they had no idea what they were looking for, seeing which one had the highest hz was probably the last thing in their mind
Most apps haven't been optimised for 90hz so it's still a flawed test
It's the screen on which the apps are displayed,I don't think apps have to be optimised for this
On the OnePlus 7 you can force everything to be 90hz.
that's like saying on a Windows pc chrome is running at 60hz on a 120hz display or something
HOLY SHIT I DID NOT KNOW THIS GUY WAS A PART OF ANDROIDAUTHORITY, I WAS SUBBED TO HIM A WHILE AGO WHEN HE WAS ON LIKE 20K SUBS HOLY SHITE

Exactly! , I had my 5t and 7pro , when i did use my 5t again after a day using my 7pro it felt soooo laggy , if you play for example pokemon go the diffrences are madness.. almost unplayable on 60hz compared
Same
No because the processor and RAM matters not the refresh rate. I'm fine with a 60 Htz display. For example, the Note 10 Plus is very fast with a 60 Htz display. To me, 90 Htz and 120 Htz displays are luxury for phones
It's like none of the participants actually scrolled or played an fps game where the difference is night and day.
The Hz difference is only goint to be seen when using the phone, scrolling or playing. Just looking at the screen, like most of the people here will not see a difference. Thats the point, when scrolling or gaming, then you see a difference.
I literally just got the OnePlus 7 Pro yesterday and I've definitely noticed the difference between 60hz and 90hz. It's difficult to explain the experience because it's all in the feel. I've used 90hz monitors before, but I never noticed a difference. Using the 7 Pro it has changed mindset on 90hz displays.
its about target audience ! people who don't know what it is, won't be able to appreciate it ! 90hz grows on you ! i cannt go back to 60hz now, it feels laggy as heck !
Bro how percent of battery drain more with 90hz than 60Hz?
@@spoidormon2332 i get 5 hours of screen on time with 90hz and 6 hours on 60hz on my 7T. everyoes usage is different, i'd happily trade battery life for the smoothness.
I use a 144hz monitor and i can clearly tell the difference between 60 and 90Hz.
I do not want anything at the cost of battery life , be it high refresh rate or higher resolution like 1440p.
You will see the difference when you play high quality game. You can than tell that how much smoother 90Hz display is.
Only if that game supports 90hz
@@lamih0096 yup
They must be told what to look for. Phones have tons of features. Its misleading not to lead them in a direction at first.
90Hz looks super smooth and the UI seem to work faster. I recommend seeing it by yourself in some store, for some people it might be unnecessary.

Answer is yes, i have an OnePlus 7 pro and i wanted to change to iphone because i like ios more but i couldn't, just because 60 hrtz looks slippy to me and everytime i work with 60 hrtz i just think about what if it was 90 hrtz. But if you never worked with 90 hrtz you'll be fine
Android authority couldn't afford to get another phone. Okay.
Next time you do this have them scroll through Instagram, facebook, or settings apps. Maybe have them read book or play a game. RUclips plays videos at 30fps, and slowly looking for differences between phone means a lot of idol time while looking for differences. The 90hz refresh does not affect app loading speed or the speed of the phone, so they just wasted their time looking for other things. Maybe ask them which one feels more responsive while scrolling through social media.
You should have told them to scroll through apps. A set of apps that they have to try. Then, they would definitely see the smoother scrolling.
I don't get how people can say that once using 90hz, you can't go back to 60 anymore, I mean, movies are 24 fps, most console games are 30 fps. Does that mean that you can't watch movies or play games on Switch or PS4 anymore ?
Unfair. You have to use it for a day atleast to know the difference.
The only way I think they’ll notice it is either through scrolling or input delay using a stylus
90+ Hz is the best feature of the last years.
Having played with 144hz monitors. I would say anything above 60hz is just icing on the cake.

I can tell simply because I've been a PC user (builder) for 10+ years and know all about screen refresh rates and I feel as if my vision is well adapted to what to look for. Just got my first 90hz phone and definitely notice a smoother experience when gaming on the phone or other things simply browsing the UI.
Short answer: yes.
Long answer: yessssssssssssssssss
Double answers: yes yes.
Honestly though. Even asking these questions can cause oems to stop trying to innovate.
More options is always better....
Make a setting when you can change it to 120/90/60hz for better battery life.
Does 90 drain battery then 60hz?
It does bruh, not alot but the difference is there though @@Zainu352
You call this an experiment? It's an absolute fail.
Good one. I also watched a phone of friend of mine with 90hz and he was super excited about this display. To be honest I did not see any difference between mine phone 60hz and his 90hz. Which is strange to me because when comparing the TV with 60 and 100hz I can really see the difference. I do not get it what is the case with these smartphone 90hz.
Why did that lady say “I can’t see a difference EITHER”🤨 at 3:00
Because there were 2 pairs of phones maybe
Because no one else saw a difference EITHER ?
it's cuz he said look for difference between the phones, and that was her talking about the second set of phones
@Gavin Verhoeven yes maybe that’s the reason
@chasemays1 I don’t think they were allowed to look at other persons reviews
Thank you for this. I've been saying there is no difference. But everyone keeps lying to themselves that there is a visible difference.
Most people in the comment section are confusing hz with fps
You probably can see the difference when you play games and things like that. Or what do you think?
That's if the game supports the refresh rate
