First 10 things every Samsung Galaxy S20 user should do
The Samsung Galaxy S20 lineup comes in three variations, with many of us settling with either the standard S20 or the S20 Plus. But if you just picked up your S20, you’ll want to know where to get started. Well, we’ve got you covered and here are the first things every Samsung Galaxy S20 user should do.
One of the key features of the S20 isn’t the new Snapdragon processor or the increased amount of RAM. Nope, it’s all about the display and with the S20 you can enable the refresh rate to go up to 120Hz. The S20 comes with two refresh rates available, giving users the option to go between either 60Hz (what you are used to) and 120Hz.
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap on Display.
- Select Motion smoothness.
- Tap High refresh rate (120Hz)
- Tap Apply.
The settings panel for adjusting the refresh rate gives you an example of the difference that will be applied if you choose 60Hz or 120Hz. The only catch here is that you won’t be able to take advantage of the WQHD+ (3200 x 1440) offered by the S20. Instead, if 120Hz is enabled, your phone will be “locked” to FHD+ (2400 x 1800). It makes sense to do this as having the highest display resolution paired with the fastest refresh rate will mean the shortest battery life you’ve ever experienced.
