Xiaomi’s 2020 Flagship May Include a 120Hz Display

Nov. 11, 2019

XDA editor-in-chief, Mishaal Rahman,sayshe combed through the relevant part of the code to find that the feature currently supports only two values – 60Hz and 120Hz – which means users won’t be able to select 90Hz as somewhat of a middle-path between ultra-smooth imagery and better batter life. The setting, as can be seen in the screenshots below, can apparently also be activated on handsets with standard 60Hz displays, but the higher setting doesn’t work on such devices because of obvious hardware restrictions.Screenshots Courtesy: kacskrz (via XDA)

High-refresh display panels are becoming more common by the day, with multiple Android vendors starting to ship their flagship phones with either 90Hz or 120Hz screens over the past couple of years. While the Google Pixel 4 lineup and the OnePlus 7 Pro are among some of the devices to ship with 90Hz displays, the Asus ROG Phone 2 and the Razer Phone are some of the first mainstream phonesto offer 120Hz panels.
