    That’s not unusual, imo high refresh rates on phones are a bit of a marketing tactic bc they don’t really have the computation power to support it when it counts (no one really cares if a static GUI is shown at 120 Hz but it is a waste of battery, you want it for gaming, videos, etc)

      No, you want it for scrolling. Scrolling feels much more responsive at 120Hz. It does drain battery more but not by enough to be a deal breaker for most people.

      It’s useless for videos as most videos are 60Hz.
