When 120Hz is enabled in settings, Youtube app will run at lower 60Hz which saves the battery (since there is no need to view 30fps videos in 120Hz)

But Youtube Vanced runs at fixed 120Hz - is there any way to force Vanced to also run at 60Hz? By adding vanced youtube bundle id to system table or something?

Also is there a way to force AOD to run at 60Hz (or lower?) - Always On Display runs at 120Hz fixed which is super unnecessary and just drains the battery

Especially the Always On Display should not run in 120hz, that is totally crazy. How do you know that it does?

enable show refresh rate option in developer settings - it shows 120Hz on AOD

it does... enable the power monitor in dev settings and you see it
it does always, no idea why
it could run at 1Hz :D would be enough

display on Mi 11 is not capable of running at 1Hz, I think 48Hz is the lowest it can go (but not sure even of that or if 60Hz is a hard minimum)

The better choice is to using 90hz rate all the time, good balance between 60/120hz. Seriously i don't see any difference in game/apps between 90/120 but battery life is really different !


Personnaly if you like so much 120hz, you can replace 60hz by 90hz and keep 90/120 insteak of 60/90hz :)

I tried 90Hz using the method from the video, but it wasn't good - 90Hz felt like it was below 60Hz, not smooth at all when scrolling
So I didn't like this method at all

It would be best if MIUI had option to choose max refresh rate for each app individually
Forcing max refresh rate in most apps is stupid, especially on AOD

LOL

90Hz it's true, and smooth, you can easily see the difference between 60/90

I've followed method shown in the video after which 90Hz was enabled (I enabled refresh rate indicator in dev settings so I can see the refresh rate)
scrolling thru app drawer and settings was choppy at 90Hz - there was micro stuttering, not sure why, but it was there

So enabling 90Hz via this method is not good (at least on my Mi 11)

Guys there no "choppy" 90 hz, 90 hz is truly activated, it's not 120 hz. In my case all is smooth. This 90 hz is like 90 hz purposed on MiuiMix. There no good/true or bad method... It's 90 hz, not 120 hz, so just better than 60 hz. No less, no more
