Posted October 22, 2020 I was really looking forward to upgrading my iPhone 7 to the iPhone 12 and the fact that the refresh rate is still 60hz is turning me off a little. As I plan to keep the phone for at least 3 years I’ll be stuck with this refresh rate for a while. I’m having a hard time deciding if I should 1) just suck it up and get the 12 2) wait another year, or 3) switch to android. Am I caring too much about the refresh rate here?

Posted October 22, 2020 Honestly don't care. I've seen it in action, I've used it and I've turned it off to get more battery life. Sure it's nice to feel the smoothness but honestly it's a phone and I don't do any gaming or that stuff on it. Sure the ui feel is nice but would I be happy with 60 fps ui? Yes totally fine. To me the iphone 12 just looks really outdated with the big notch and all so I would just not get it due to that and well no headphone jack :p. But up to you really. Whats the reason you want to upgrade to a new phone anyways? Also if you want to get high refresh on a budget there are a few very very very good more budget smartphones with a high refresh rate screen that honestly you'd be hard to notice that it isn't as good as last years flagship.

I have a OnePlus 8 Pro that can do 120Hz refresh-rate, but I'm happily using 60Hz, because it consumes less battery and the difference between 60Hz and 120Hz is so small that it just doesn't matter, it's just meaningless to me.

Posted October 22, 2020 It is for me, but only because I still have my iPhone X. The other features arent enough of a reason for me to upgrade, a 120hz screen would be the kick I need to buy myself a new phone.

I've a friend with the OnePlus 7 (possibly the Pro) and while the 90Hz display was smooth, it's not something that I'd lose sleep about, especially on a phone. For desktop monitors, more refresh rate would be great. Probably because I'm staring at it for 8+ hours a day. I guess if you're big into phone games then it might be more appealing. Our Grace.

I haven’t been taking good care of the battery so right now it runs out faster than I’d like. Also, I want to play Genshin Impact on my phone without stutters lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 22, 2020 I would honestly wait. They didn't really do anything new, just another reason to overpay for the newest phone, the only thing I can think of that they did cool was the included wireless charger.
