What is High Refresh Rate?
The high refresh rate means that the display on our devices refreshes more than what usually is used to. For instance, a smartphone having the usual display will refresh at 60 Hz. That means the content shown on the screen of the device is being refreshed at 60 times per second.
However, with a high refresh rate display like some smartphones that have 90 Hz and some have 120 Hz, they refresh the content of the screen 90 times per second or 120 times per second, respectively.
In simple words, the display with 90 Hz will look smoother than the display having 60 Hz of refresh rate while 120 Hz will even look smoother than both. Everything will be very much smooth-navigating through the UI or switching apps, altogether a very smooth experience.
In addition to that, there are some games that support the High Refresh rate which means that the game will also run at 90/120 Hz of refresh rate giving you a smoother experience to enjoy the game.
