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???

      you’re right, I just searched “display rate” in settings and it showed the developer option and no normal setting. I edit the post to use the normal option instead

      also, why rude :(
      I’m just trying to help

          Why did you edit the post? It makes my post look even more foolish LOL.

          First you complain, but then you complain again when they correct themselves, because that made you look foolish? Come on bro. Give an inch here.

      It’s not a developer option.

      It’s just off by default in the base pixel phones, for example, but activated out of the box for the pros.

        kinda yes kinda no, it seems they deleted the comment but what I had before I edited the post was the ‘force max display rate’ setting in the developer options which makes it 120hz all the time, but edited it to the ‘enable higher display rate’ which opens it up to going >60 if an animation is playing or you’re scrolling or whatever

          Ah right! I understand why he mentioned the developer options now. It was coming out of the blue from where I was standing.
