Following the debut of the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Samsung has Display officially announced commerciall availability of its new mobile screens with support for variable refresh rates that offer both improved smoothness and lower energy consumption.
While it was easy to miss some of the finer details about the Note 20 the Ultra screen (which is the first device to have one of Samsung’s new VRR panels) in the middle of Samsung’s shed of announcements last weekSamsung Display’s new tech is making a big impact on smartphone development.
By combining a 120Hz refresh rate with the ability to adjust that refresh rate, the new Samsung Display screen can be the better place for the different species of being being which results in energy savings of up to 22% compared to “existing smartphones now in general use,Without a drop in image quality.
For instance, when playing a mobile game—especially a shooter like a fighting game like Deadly war where high refresh rates can make a huge difference—Samsung’s display can push its scan frequency up to 120Hz, while it can still lower the scan rate to 60Hz when viewing a video, 30Hz when writing an email, or as little as 10Hz when viewing something like a still photo .

This is a marked difference from current phones, even those with high refresh rates like the ROG Phone 3 as Samsung’s own Galaxy S20 Ultra, which typically forces you to choose one refresh rate that is embedded, regardless of what is displayed on the screen.
However, the bigger impact of this development is that with high refresh rates displayed with standard features on almost all premium handsets, including the Note 20 Ultra, Pixel 4, and possibly the upcoming iPhone 12, the commercial availability of this new component means that VRR monitors could find their way into phones from other brands.
If we look back at when screens with high refresh rates first started with appear in phones, OnePlus was the first phone maker to install a 90Hz OLED display in a retail device (which followed the 90Hz LCD screen in the original Razer Phone), mar Samsung Display was the company responsible for making the panel that was used in the OnePlus 7 Pro. With so many desktop monitors and laptops also receiving updates that include high-throughput displays, new tech like this for the mobile world is something that should help maintain a sense of parity between the two brands.
And with both desktop and mobile gadgets moving in the same direction when it comes to high refresh rates, this gives developers even more incentive to incorporate high refresh rate displays into their apps and games, which should be a win-win for everyone to be.
