It does suck that Samsung’s Galaxy S20 line of smartphones don’t offer 120Hz refresh rate at full QHD+ resolution. This might be one of the biggest gripes you and I might have about the S20s. Thankfully, a fix is coming and sooner than expected.
According to Max Weinbach over at XDA Developers, an update is set to arrive within the next 3 months pending if testing goes well. This update would grant the entire S20 line access to 120Hz @QHD+ resolution instead of at FHD+ resolution. At launch using QHD+ resolution will give you the standard 60Hz refresh rate. Samsung didn’t want to launch w/ this over fears of it possibly draining the battery life on their new flagship smartphones. Despite the massive batteries they included in the S20s.
Its kind of false advertising a bit but I get it. In tech, its about who’s 1st not the best. It would have been nice if Samsung had this ready at launch but I guess better late than never. Any of you who pre-ordered excited about this?
