Samsung Nearby Device Scanning Update

It’s no surprise that smartphone manufacturers are responding to consumer demand with 90Hz, 120Hz, and even 144Hz panels with full HD and 2K resolution. A high refresh rate is now common in Samsung’s flagship and select mid-range phones.

A high refresh rate means sharper text, a super smooth view of videos, games, or everything you watch on your phone’s screen. These displays can be excessively harsh on batteries and that’s where the difference between a high refresh rate and a variable refresh rate comes in.

The Motion Smoothness feature allows you to adjust the refresh rate to remove afterimages and blur from fast-moving images. By default, the Galaxy phone’s refresh rate is set to 60Hz, but you can improve it to enable smoother motion on the display by changing it to a higher refresh rate of 120Hz.

A high refresh rate makes everything on your phone display look smoother and sharper, you can use a higher refresh rate to avoid screen flickering when switching screens. However, we advise you to use the 120Hz display when it’s time to game or you’re going to sit down for a long reading session on your smartphone.

Luckily, it’s very easy to turn on the 120Hz refresh rate when you need it and turn it off when you’re done. Here’s how to adjust the refresh rate on any Samsung smartphone (or running on One UI 4.1).

Change refresh rate on Samsung phone:

  • Head to Settings and enter the Display section to get started.
  • Tap Motion smoothness.
  • Choose your desired option.
    • Adaptive: Enjoy smoother animations and scrolling by automatically adjusting your screen refresh rate up to 120 Hz.
    • Standard: Use a 60 Hz screen refresh rate in normal situations to conserve battery power.
  • Finally, tap Apply.
