IME, the difference is negligible. I went from a iPhone 12 to a Galaxy S21 Ultra and yes, there is a difference, but it's not something I notice, even when occasionally using my wife's iPhone 12.
The bigger difference I notice is in loading times for apps.
- user_7832 3y agoI'm not sure how the Galaxy handles it but if it's similar to the stock android situation, you're likely often only seeing a 60hz screen rate. You can go to developer settings (or perhaps screen settings) and force 90hz or 120hz on. If your eyesight is otherwise good (especially if your younger than 50) you should be able to notice the difference quickly.
- culturestate 3y ago> yes, there is a difference, but it's not something I notice Anecdotally, I use the last gen pre-120hz iPad Pro as my daily driver and I notice the difference immediately when I switch from my phone to the iPad. It’s not annoying enough to force me to upgrade immediately, but it’ll absolutely be a requirement for me going forward.
- jwells89 3y agoFor me the difference is visible, but the added smoothness is more of a cherry on top than anything. I switch between 60hz, 120hz, and 240hz panels every day and the 60hz panels don’t bother me a bit. On desktop and laptop displays I’d take integer-scaling-friendly pixel density over high refresh rates any day. Variable refresh rates should be standard across the board however, not restricted to high refresh panels. There’s no more reason for a static screen to be redrawing at 60hz than there is for it to be redrawing at 120hz or 240hz.
