The world of the mobile screen is taking depth. And we are not talking about respecting colours, being more efficient or achieving technology capable of leaving us engrossed looking at these panels. Beyond the contrast achieved by Super AMOLED technology, Samsung is already fully committed to panels with a refresh rate of 120Hz Or what is the same, 120 frames per second that manage to show a more fluid, detailed and agile movement than the 60 or 90 hertz to which we are accustomed to date.
The interesting thing is that with this we will be able to navigate faster and more easily through walls like Instagram's, for example. But where you will really notice the difference is in the games. As long as, yes, they are adapted for this screen refresh rate. Something that is enjoyed, above all, in shooting games or shooters, where you will have more room to dodge bullets or see what is happening on the screen at all times. Or even in the driving titles, where you can appreciate the detail of each skid and each bodywork without jumps or sudden camera movements.
But everything has a cost
Using a refresh rate of 120Hz is only possible if you have a sufficiently powerful mobile. And it is that the processor will have to make twice as much effort as a mobile with 60Hz. It consists of displaying twice as many frames per second, and that is not done without breaking a sweat. That is why the Samsung Galaxy S20 is forced to reduce the screen resolution to achieve this refresh rate.
In this way, and if we activate 120Hz in the settings, the QHD+ resolution will become FHD+. A change that can be perceptible in the definition of objects and images. Although only if we have an expert eye. In return, the mobile will gain in solvency to manage all these images per second that it has to display on its panel.

And it is that the creators are interested that their games can be enjoyed at maximum speed on the latest smartphones on the market such as the Samsung Galaxy S20 and its varieties.
The trend is pointing in that direction, and it is only a setting that can be activated on powerful mobiles and prepared for it. So we just have to wait for developers to jump on the bandwagon and update their games.
