Android screen is strong? 120Hz refresh rate, why still can't dry the 60Hz apple?

In 2019, with the release of the OnePlus 7 Pro, the high refresh rate screen has become the next breakthrough for mobile phones. In 2020, a number of mobile phone manufacturers announced that they will release phones with higher refresh rates. Nubia, OnePlus, Xiaomi, OPPO, Samsung and many other manufacturers have determined that the new phones will use high refresh rate screens.
This is a bit confusing, is the screen with a high refresh rate really so good? The refresh rate is the number of times the screen is refreshed per second. The higher the refresh rate, the more coherent the picture looks, and the visual reflection to the eyes is smooth.

From the actual experience point of view, this is indeed the case, the screen with a high refresh rate is born with a buff. Because of this, after the packaging of mobile phone manufacturers, a recognition has been formed, and the screen with a high refresh rate must be a good screen. However, there is a problem. The performance of high refresh rate screens of some mobile phone manufacturers is far worse than that of Samsung flagships and iPhones with ordinary refresh rates.

Isn't the high refresh rate screen better than the normal 60Hz refresh rate? This shows that there are other factors that affect the quality of the screen. An excellent screen, in addition to the refresh rate, there are-
Brightness: The higher the brightness, the better it can be seen in the sun.
Contrast: The brightest and darkest contrast of the screen. The higher the contrast, the more transparent the screen is.
Color gamut: The higher the color gamut, the more beautiful the colors will look.
Color accuracy: color shift value, the smaller the value, the more accurate the color display

The excellent screen quality of the iPhone is that the brightness, contrast, color gamut, and color standard are all top standards, especially the color standard, which is generally greater than 2 in the industry, while the iPhone 11 Pro Max is less than 0.9.

An excellent screen must be top-notch in all indicators, and high refresh rate is not the only indicator. Even sometimes, high refresh rate screens actually hinder the experience. Looking at various mobile phones with high refresh rate screens, some people will definitely report that the picture does not look as smooth as imagined, and you will feel a noticeable stutter.
This problem is also a headache for mobile phone manufacturers. In order to experience the smoothness brought by the high refresh rate, it needs to be optimized in advance. The system's own application and UI interface animation are not difficult to optimize, but once it involves third-party applications, it can be difficult. So far, few applications have adapted to high frame rates.
Even if it is a game, there are only a few games, such as Peace Elite, Ace Fighter, Fort Front, QQ Speed, Cross Fire, Quantum Attack, Xinxiaoaojianghu, etc., which are adapted to high refresh rate mode.

Therefore, once the optimized main interface comes to the application without adaptation, the sense of stuttering comes out. There is also an obvious disadvantage of high refresh rate, which requires higher performance and consumes more power. The next conclusion is that the current mobile phones with high refresh rates consume significant power, have less application adaptation, and the actual experience is not as good as imagined, so at present, everyone uses a 60Hz refresh rate to experience better.

Why are mobile phone manufacturers still happy to display screens with high refresh rates? Technology must be developed in a stronger direction, and major mobile phone manufacturers also need more differentiated characteristics to show their competitive advantages.
For mobile phone manufacturers, instead of spending costs on the color gamut, contrast, and color accuracy that users are less likely to notice, it is better to directly put on a high refresh rate screen. The numbers are always the most intuitive, especially for the thousand yuan In terms of selling points, it will be more obvious.
Of course, it's not that the screen with high refresh rate is useless, and the application experience after adaptation is obviously improved. This also means that high refresh rate screens are not only a matter for mobile phone manufacturers, but also need to cooperate with suppliers and software developers, from hardware to software, to do a good job of optimization and optimization in order to take advantage of high refresh rate screens. Unfortunately, there is currently no mobile phone manufacturer that can have a huge appeal and allow many third-party applications to achieve adaptation in the short term.
The good news is that there is news that this year's iPhone 12 series will be equipped with a 120Hz refresh rate screen.
At the same time, as more and more Android models use screens with high refresh rates, the adaptation of third-party applications may be smoother.
