Smartphones with high refresh rate screens offer a relatively smoother and more fluidic experience while navigating around the UI, scrolling, swiping, zooming, and gaming. Samsung was late to the party when it comes to releasing devices with high refresh rate displays, but the company now has among the widest range of such phones and tablets.
While most of the brands started off with 90Hz screens, Samsung jumped straight to 120Hz refresh rate screens. However, some of its mid-range phones have displays with a 90Hz refresh rate. Now that there are a dozen of Galaxy devices (12, as of February 2021) that have high refresh rate screens, we thought it might be a good idea to create a list of all those devices. We will regularly update this list as and when Samsung releases new devices with high refresh rate displays.
