Best phones with variable refresh rate displays

Fast displays on smartphones are changing the way we look at mobile screens. A high refresh rate makes for smoother transitions, animations, and makes the phone seem a lot faster. The downside is that it takes up a lot of battery, but not in phones which can vary the refresh rate depending on what’s on screen. This means, when gaming, you can get up to 120Hz refresh rates, while on the ambient displays, it can drop down to even 1Hz, conserving battery. Smartphones perform this feat so seamlessly that it is almost impossible to notice the switch in refresh rates. Here are some of the best phones with variable refresh rate displays.
