Phones with higher refresh rates have become very popular over the past few years. They provide a smoother experience for users, and their displays are much more responsive than the older 60Hz models. The fluidity of a screen is measured by how often it can refresh an image per second. Hertz or Hz refers to the capability of the display to produce a certain number of frames per second. A refresh rate of 90Hz or higher is said to provide an optimal, lag-free experience.
Smartphone manufacturers are bringing more technology to these displays, and competition in the market is fiercer than ever before. This is why choosing a smartphone with an admirable display and high refresh rate might be difficult. To help readers arrive at a decision, this article will mention five phones that offer both.
