With smartphones Android of the new generation, a substantial update of the refresh rate has become increasingly important. This is because to a major refresh rate corresponds greater fluidity. In fact, we find devices that go from 60Hz to 90, 120 and even up to 144Hz. The latter case specifically concerns the devices from Gaming. But how to always see this frequency when we use the smartphone? There is aspecific setting and activating it is very simple. Let's see how to do it.
How to view the refresh rate 60, 90, 120 and 144Hz on Android: a simple guide to keep the data always under an eye
Show the refresh rate at all times on Android is really very simple. There is no need to install a third-party application as the system allows us to view the data only by accessing the developer options. There are also external apps that allow you to do this but this being an "internal" feature, why not take advantage of it. Having said that, how do you do it? There guide applies to all Android smartphones.
- first of all we will have to go up Settings, then the icon with the gear and access the developer options: to do so just go to System (o System settings) and tap 8 consecutive times on Build number. At this point we will have access to developer options
- now that we have the necessary permissions, let's go back up System and we will find the Developer options which will allow us to activate the function
- now from the menu Developer options all we have to do is look for the option Show current display update rate or simply Update frequency and check.
- the number corresponding to the refresh rate will appear at the top left

Recall that a higher refresh rate corresponds to a increase in consumption and then one decrease in autonomy of our smartphone. We always recommend staying on 60Hz unless we have a battery phone.
