This is done to ensure that there is battery saving. Samsung has decided to change that because they have recently updated the Galaxy S22 and the plus variant’s screen specs and mentioned how they can only go from 48Hz and 120Hz. If you head over to the product page, you will see how Samsung has changed this information.
Samsung Decides to Go Back on Their Statement About the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus Refresh Rates
Varying refresh rate is nothing new. Many phones do offer this feature that helps in saving the overall battery. The lower refresh rate is obviously more efficient. However, the S22 and the plus variant are only going to go as low as 48Hz, which is not much when you compare it to the 60Hz which has become a standard at this point. Although the difference might not be much, the base Galaxy S22 could really have benefitted from 10Hz being the lowest refresh rate considering how it only has a 3,700 mAh battery and that is not a good deal, especially when you are looking at a 5G powered device with flagship specs under the hood, as well. However, it is too early to say how the Galaxy S22’s battery is going to perform since we are still waiting for the reviews to go live, and well. Do you think Samsung should have stuck with a 10Hz refresh rate or it would not have made a big impact on the battery life? Let us know your thoughts.
