You Won't Have To Choose, All Samsung Galaxy S22 Displays Are Adaptive 120Hz

Samsung is all set to continue delivering timely updates to its new Galaxy S22 series handsets, just as with last year’s flagship models. And now it looks to be doing the same with its displays too. That’s because, like last year’s model, there are only going to be a few key differences in the displays. For the Galaxy S22 series, according to Samsung, those are going to center around S Pen support and size. All three of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Series handsets, in all of their configurations, will ship with the same Adaptive 120Hz refresh rate.

Why is it important that Samsung offer the same Adaptive 120Hz refresh rate on all Galaxy S22 models?

Now, as hinted above, this isn’t the first time Samsung has opted to use the same display technology across the board. Samsung has been opting to include the same refresh rate for its gadgets for at least a few generations. And across multiple flagship series.

There will, of course, also be some differences in the displays. Not least of all, the new Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra will support the S Pen — supplying a “Note-like” experience for buyers. But that AMOLED 1440 x 3088 resolution panel will also come in at 6.8-inches. That’s as compared to the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus at 6.1-inches and 6.6-inches, respectively. And those smaller panels will each be at a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels as well.

Using a variable refresh rate across each Galaxy S22 series device (10-120Hz on Galaxy S22 and S22+, 1-120Hz on Galaxy S22 Ultra), however, means that the experience of using the displays should be similar. Despite the above-mentioned differences. And that’s because the refresh rate impacts performance and visuals related to animations. Which should, on paper, be the same across all Galaxy S22 series devices. At least in terms of smoothness.

Other OEMs, conversely, haven’t always offered the same screen refresh rate across devices in the same series. Meaning that prospective buyers have had to take refresh rates into account when choosing a handset. With the Galaxy S22 series, users will all get up to 120Hz as determined by the system. So other differences can be taken into account instead, making the choice easier for consumers.
