Understanding the Pixel 10’s Display Performance
Upon acquiring a Pixel 10 and using it right away, a slight lag in scrolling and swiping through Android might catch your attention. This is especially noticeable if you’re transitioning from another high-end Android device or a “Pro” version of an iPhone. What could be causing this?
The culprit lies in the refresh rate of your Pixel’s display. Instead of presenting a single static image at any moment, screens regularly update or “refresh” several times per second. This process determines how fluid movements appear on the screen, known as the refresh rate. While standard displays typically operate at 60Hz, many contemporary devices—especially smartphones—boast refresh rates of 120Hz.
For those accustomed to the fluid motion associated with a 120Hz refresh rate, the 60Hz setting can feel noticeably jerky, as half of the display’s updates are effectively lost each second. However, the Pixel 10 does support a 120Hz refresh rate; so why does it default to 60Hz when first powered on?
Exploring Google’s Battery Strategy
The explanation is quite logical and revolves around the display technology that Google integrates into its devices. According to Android Authority, the Pixel 10 Pro is set to a 120Hz refresh rate automatically due to its use of an LTPO panel. This innovative technology enables the display to dynamically adjust its refresh rate based on the task at hand. For instance, it can ramp up to 120Hz during scrolling or drop as low as 1Hz when displaying a static image. This adaptability helps conserve battery life when high refresh rates aren’t necessary.
