my phone has been running at 60hz for YEARS and I just now learned that I just had to enable a setting. Why wasn’t this enabled by default???

    IMHO the only reason to go above 60Hz is for better responsiveness in competitive games. Otherwise it’s just a meme, definitely a total gimmick on smartphones.

    Depends on your device and a bunch of other factors. If you are trying to maximize battery life you are generally better sticking to 60.

    If you are consuming 120fps content or doing some kind of mobile gaming that actually supports it, you may benefit from 120.
