One of the biggest advantages of this gorgeous display is that the refresh rate is dynamic and can swiftly switch to anywhere between 1Hz and 120Hz depending on the content on display to save battery life. This means that during gaming sessions where every frame matters, the phone will offer you the smoothest transitions to make sure you have an edge.
