Samsung has now clarified why it made a U-turn on display specs for the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus. The truth is a little complicated.
Samsung initially claimed that the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus have 120Hz screens that are able to drop as low as 10Hz. However, the company recently updated its spec sheets to say that the displays actually only drop down to 48Hz. So what’s the deal, then? Well, Samsung has issued a comment to Phone Arena to “clarify any confusion” around the minimum refresh rate: We would like to clarify any confusion relating to the display refresh rate for Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus. While the display component of both devices support between 48 to 120Hz, Samsung’s proprietary technology offers adjustable display refresh rates, where data transfer rates from AP [application processor – ed] to display can be minimized to as low as 10Hz in order to save power consumption.
