Comment on YSK: You should enable peak refresh rate in Android
obsidianfoxxy7870@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day agoI haven’t daily driven a phone but I really like the idea of the screens that can go below 60hz. Such as if you are reading a static webpage or an ebook.

I messed around with the “display refresh rate” setting and it seems like it’s 120 when there’s any sort of animation or you touch the screen at all, but it goes to 60 if it’s just playing a video or you’re not touching it, and 30 for the “always on” display that shows the clock.
I expected it to be more like the SteamDeck which just goes 1fps if nothing is happening on the home menu and jumps up to 60 or 90 (depending on model and settings) when anything moves
pretty interesting!

I have to give credit to Apple for the variable motion, ranging from 1 fps to 120 fps. Sadly, the 1fps is only ever used on the lock screen. So much wasted potential.

You’re talking about different things. SteamDeck doesn’t set your display refresh frequency to 1hz. It’s just rendering frames at 1hz.
