Galaxy S20 has a hidden 96Hz display mode: Here’s how to enable it

[russellcausier]

Any ideas?

Have you tried the 48hz yet, if so what's it like? Is it really choppy, and how would you reverse it back to normal?

So I think it still runs smoothly.

i'm using 96hz with bixy routine, istead of 120hz with bixy.

Snapdragon S20, I'd like to create a bixby routine as others here have done, but in actions there is no medium power savings option. This is a brand new device fully updated, did Sam remove this option in latest updates?

EDIT: nvm, i just edited the pre-built sleep routine which has it rather than creating a new routine

You have to disable "Adaptive power saving" in the power mode settings. Once you disable it, medium power saving will appear in bixby routines.

can someone confirm benefit of 96 vs 120hz in terms of battery? or is it just for testing perpose

To setup the 96Hz mode, yes. The option I mentioned can be found in settings, it allows you to use medium power saving with bixby routines while running 96/120Hz

Quick question, you think this will work with the Note 20 Ultra? I have it pre-ordered and was just wondering. Cuz I know it can switch automatically from 60hz to 120hz depending on what is on the screen.

Note 20 Ultra can switch from 1hz to 120hz that is why called LTPO screen.

And NO, this is not even worth install on Note 20 Ultra. But anyway, I will test it and return with an answer because I have pre-order it too.

From what I've read it can only switch from 120 to 60 depending on what's on the screen. Like it can't go to 90 and then drop down to 50. The article I read the day said it could only switch back and forth from 120 to 60 automatically. So I figured if you could get it to be 96hz then it wouldn't have to change so much. It would only go from 96 to 60. I will look for the article and post it.

Alright here's one of the articles I found. It has a dynamic refresh rate which is different from a variable refresh rate. It was a variable refresh rate you could go from one Hertz to 120 hertz. but dynamic refresh rate will only allow it to switch between 60 and 120.

Do you have 120hz turned on before trying for 96hz?
I am starting to feel like refresh rate support around here lol..

 

[Jlacombe5707]

I cant change it either with the S20 Refresh Rate app? Ive tried changing everything? High Performance mode on and off, fhd, wqhd+, everything! If i put it on FHD+ and 120hz, it will switch down to 96hz with the app, bit wont go up from 60 on wqhd+?

Question for you all, having my phone in medium power saving mode, does that affect my ability to send and receive picture messages??
