love the video

Imagine what it's like to buy a 120hz phone to use at 60hz and criticize whoever buys 60hz phones: D
I mean as flossy says why would you spend $1400 on a phone and put it on 60hz you might as well keep it on 120hz the battery is not that big of a different
@@reynardrouser7863 I still prefer slightly longer battery life + I don't mind 60Hz and FHD+ so I don't lose nothing as I don't see a difference.
@@reynardrouser7863 15% more screen on time seems pretty big. Especially when compared to a barely noticeable difference in refresh rate. I'll take the battery life all day.especially last night when I was down to 3% by 9pm. Would've been nice if it was closer to 10%.
MegasXLR ok
Chet Patel yeah but if you get a $1400 phone why not put it on 120hz you’re still getting good battery
For me +15% is a big difference. These last 15% could actually provide battery for a few more hours which sometimes could be critical of you are on the road.
Yes but being stranded on the road with no power is worth it if your phone was so smooooooth when it was on earlier ...
OK - I rethought this ...🤔 maybe it IS better to have that extra SOT ...
@@robertfinishesyep better have more batter life especially if you forgot bring charger or power bank for jobs or smth idk that help have the battery remain
same
I always charge my phone once it hits 15%, so having 30% instead of 15% is HUGE
@@KevoIogy thats not even how that works lol
Conclusion: Keep using 120hz
Hell no
@@moemensuper1796 hell yeah. double the refresh rate with only 14% battery cost? I'm in
no ty
@@Jand0s dude 120hz is a game changer, 14% battery life loss is a fair trade. Once you use 120hz you don't go back
Knowing that I can charge my phone in 15min nowadays using warp charger then using 60fps is a no brainer to me.
Man after using 120Hz on my S20+, switching back to 60Hz feels laggy at first but 10 mins in and I'm ok with it
Yes..when switching from 90-120Hz to 60Hz feel like laggy. But after used it a day then its Ok and don't switch back to 90-120Hz
Me too
your eyes and brain get used to it. that's why
I'd be happy with just 90hz being the standard as a compromise.

Perfect vid, bro! This is something I'm more curious rather than the speed test since battery is more important than speed. Excellent job!
Drew C. not exactly. thats your opinion. others may prefer speed over battery life. 😊
@@seer._. Fuel economy is better than speed said no Ferrari owner ever. Some people want economy (or battery in this case) and other want to go fast :D
Also if you care about battery more than speed there are better phones with more battery life but they are slower.
How would u even think battery is not more important than speed?
@@KB-ce5sh if it handles a day of my usage it has a big enough battery but if it works like a piece of shit and every time I use the devices it annoys me then it can have a month of battery life and I still wouldn't consider it.
it is really *not official* until it's done phonebuff style, thank you for doing these very precise, constant and I'd say the most 'scientific' tests

Amazing! Been waiting for this for a long time. Would have loved to have seen 60htz,90htz and 120htz comparison, but 60 to 120htz is good enough.
The real question is, why did you switch the positions between the thumbnail and in the video?
Thumbnail: left120Hz, right60Hz
Video: left60Hz, right120Hz
#exposed.
Make 120hz great again! Lol I'll take a 50 minute hit on SOT to have 100% more fps.
For clickbait
@@Balgeta how would switching sides with the phones be any more appealing
@@mega_1st your read from left to right. So you will read the "120 hz" first. I'm no thumbnail expert, but you also have the video length on the botton right, so It makes sense to place the most important part on the left.
@@DominikMBlock that doesnt make it clickbait,it literally show what the title says,it really doesnt matter
Battery is a big factor for me. My phone’s display supports 120Hz but I prefer to use to 60Hz instead. It saves me some extra juice and 60Hz isn’t bad anyway. It’s nice to have a high refresh rate display but it isn’t a necessity and I certainly can live without one. Just a personal opinion. Great video ❤
Just like me
i do same, battery life is more important
All new Samsung phones go from 1 MHz to 120 mHz so in the newest phones it makes absolutely no difference how you set it.
use 1hz then lol
If there's a 30hz I will prefer 30hz cause I only pay attention to the battery life
Finally thank you so much, I literally asked every youtuber to do this
Bruh your tests are by FAR the best I've seen on UA-cam. UA-cam should have recommended you vids to me long ago.
Good old Phonebuff style battery tests can't be beaten even from a technical standpoint, keep it up guys
Yes😃😃 thank you I been waiting for this
Why am I even watching this, i don't even have much money to buy this phone
Very cool test. I also watched your S20 at 120 Hz vs iPhone Pro Max battery test video and noticed that the S20 performed exactly the same down to the minute in both videos. So out of curiosity, did you re-do the test and re-record it or did you re-use the video and results from the other video? If you re-did the tests and it performed exactly the same, that would be pretty remarkable. Also, the results here make me think that the iPhone Pro Max will outlast the S20 at 60 Hz by 40+ minutes.
Everytime i think about something on phone. This guy has done a video. Great work man
120Hz is a good choice in the future.
LTPO coming to Note 20+, which will help battery life at high refresh rates. Difference will be small, but noticeable if this test is any indication
@@TheMacronical plus version only
Note20+ with LTPO will be lit. But Samsung better give us the Exynos 992 or Snapdragon 865. SAY NO TO EXYNOS 990!
Even my old phone support 120hz
@@justsomepandawithinternet autocorrect took out the + sign my apologies I never spotted it
Does he have a regular s20 battery test? I wish they would focus on all phones and not just 1.
I've been waiting for this video, as I have an S20 plus. Thankyou! Were they both at full hd plus?
Reuben Lee he did a test on the screen resolution full HD vs wqhd and the difference was negligible
The robot arm makes the video so pro and clean! Excellent work! Thanks!
So you lose about an hour of screen on time with 120hz. Wonder what it’ll be for the Note since they will be using the LTPO displays
Hell yeah
That ltpo shot is annoying ...i dont want youtube scrolling to be choppy just to save 10 % battery
@@krys8494 I highly doubt that's how it works
i think it was like 10%, which i would happily give all day
It turned out that Samsung didn't use LTPO display on the Note20 series. Samsung used it on the 2021 S21 Ultra and it really showed its wonder. When GSMArena did a battery endurance rating with the screen set at 1440p 120Hz, it clocked an astonishing 114 hours of battery endurance rating. No other flagship smartphones of 2021 can come close to it.
9 and a half hours on 120hz with 16h of standby time is epic battery life in my opinion
I love the consistency of these tests. Great video. I thought the difference would have been greater.
Hey, great video. Are you willing to share what robotic arm you are using for your experiment?
I was waiting for this vid bro, justice
I know its not related to this test but the only negative I have with the S20 series is the finger print scanner, I much prefer the S9 finger print scanner because you basically can swipe it and it unlocks the phone for you whereas with the S20 I find that you press a little bit longer to unlock
Great video, great information as always.
Keep it up!
It's good to see a large amount of phone manufacturers putting 4000+mAh batteries in their phones this year alongside the 90/120hz screens. That does make up for the higher refresh rate using more battery
Soon they will have some type of 3D screens with
3 hours of SOT = ridiculous .
@@robertfinisheseverything is improving except battery 😢
Yeah I leave my S21 on 60 hertz it has good battery life .
I would prefer a thicker phone with 5000 Mah or 5500 Mah .
S23 PRO / S24 PRO etc
Great video content.. i am really interested in what could be the difference in battery life between a 60Hz and a 120Hz.
i hope you know... he scrolled every 30 seconds only for a short moment... thats unrealistic. The difference is definately bigger, probably also only a slightly impact, but still.
I've been looking for this kinda test in my whole life.
are you 3 years old? cuz in 2017 is when the first 120hz phone was released.
@@zenon20009 It's not like you couldn't think of battery test for high refresh rate phones before they even existed...

Would be interresting to see what the LTPO Display on the Note 20+ csn save!
I was very impressed that my small s20 on 120hz got slightly better battery life than my old note 10 plus, it is mainly thanks to standby but impressive nonetheless
That's the fastest you've ever uploaded consecutively!!
You have one subscribe!❤ This is the most accurate test of all. Keep it yp 🤗
Wow. I only just found this channel, but this test is insanely well done using a robot to repeat the exact steps! Thank you for doing it.
Just got my first OnePlus, the 8 Pro and I'm absolutely loving it, thank you for this test because this makes it clear that I can just comfortably leave it on 120hz all day, even on a busy phone day thank to warp charge. (Which by the way is the most ridiculous fast charging system I've ever come across, it charges ridiculously fast.)
The performance of the S20 Ultra with 120Hz is pretty impressive tho. You have 100% more refresh rate but the battery of the 60Hz S20 only lasted ~3.2% longer.
it varies massively by phone. oneplus phones that have 5000mah batteries get a lot more battery life with 60hz rather than 120hz. it's actually very noticeable
I waited months for this video, thank you
Great test and I'm impressed how close it is. Will definitely keep on using it with high refresh rate. Feels so good!
Whenever i watch this channel i always jump on the 2nd minute 👍
0:04 the whole Iphone 12 lineup: "I dont think so"
For me I see differences from time to time between 1080p and 1440p displays, so I rather choose 1440p on 60 Hz but then again, I would rather go for 1440p at 90Hz like ONEPLUS 7T Pro.
Hey help. What is that thing which is auto controlling both the phones? Where can we get it? Please respond as soon as possible
Please do this for the One Plus 8 Pro
Each additional FPS being displayed is around 0.83 minutes less battery life.
60Hz = 0min reduction
90Hz = 25min reduction
120Hz = 50min reduction
144Hz = 70min reduction
I wonder if this applies to other phones

Great video. I would love to see new Samsung galaxy note 20 ultra adaptive amoled vs regular 60Hz vs regular 120Hz
That's such a small difference in batterie time but such a great imptovement when using 120Hz.
It's spelt Battery
My Samsung Galaxy A12 Smartphone refreshes at 60Ghz
Ghz=Gigahertz
Ok I'll definitelly use 60hz, that extra 15% will help alot over time in preserving the battery health
Sure...especially when you need to run google map or waze. That apps drain lots of battery when the signal is low in suburban
Thanks for your hard effort on all of your videos
Glad u use two exact phone models as another video used 2 different phone models 60 htz vs 120 htz😄
I wonder if you compared it with the same display resolution. On my S20 i can only use 120Hz if i lower my resolution. Would be cool to compare WQHD/60 vs FHD/120, since these are the two options you can actually choose from.
It will be 20hrz when you read text and in video and game it will be 120 . It is smart on ur phone . But in some phone it is not smart .
Would have been interesting to see what happens when the 60hz phone is running the higher resolution as well since imho that would be the only reason to use 60hz.
Samsung phones always seem to last the same regardless of what resolution you put them at, wether it is 1080p or 1440p
Has there ever been a test on iPhone with normal mode vs low power mode
Thank you. The video I was looking for.
meanwhile my phone after 3 hours of on screen time
aight goodnight owner.
Would be interesting to see what the difference would be with new 120Hz phones with LTPO displays that can dial down to 1Hz when nothing on the screen is moving. Could mean dynamic 120Hz gets better battery life than locked 60Hz.
I wanna know this too haha
Great video, but you should've turned on the frame rate display in developer settings. It shows the current frame rate that the phone is using. Some of the applications only use 60fps and even youtube lowers the refresh rate to 30fps if you play 30fps video
This.
Most phone lower the refresh rate when watching videos at full screen.
I have an s20 ultra and keep it on power mode all day is it bad to do so ? cause I use my phone a lot and on 120hz I have to charge it twice a day but on power mode can last most if not the whole day.
I feel like the difference needs to be 10 percent or less before I could afford to use the 120. Battery life is a big deal after all. I really really loved the fast refresh rate and got addicted to it in a short while. However real life happened after the honeymoon of the new phone was over a battery life was king so I switched back to 60. After a few weeks or months and I became used to the 60 again and don't think nothing of it anymore. If I'd sit indoors and scroll a lot all day with a charger right by my desk maybe that would change the picture for me. Looking forward to the day when technology advances to where battery last a week or more.
another blow to the hipsters who used to think there was a huge battery consumption difference between 1440p and 1080p 😂 Now they got this.
There is a huge difference between 60 Hz and 120 Hz. Nobody scrolls once every 30 seconds. This is BS.
@@payman1023 scrolls don't matter that much, what really matters is screen is on
Try playing a game at 1440p and then try it in 1080p, guess who is the hipster now 😂😂😂
Battery life decreases faster and you have lower performance in 1440p resolution. In day to day apps you won't notice any difference.( Except UA-cam)
Social media aren't hitting your cpu/gpu as hard as 1440p UA-cam/Netflix content. Even more when you play games at 1440p resolution.. yeah.. battery life will be affected as well as performance.
@@ernestohysa9818 lol no you sound like you've never had a 1440p res phone. Phonebuff literally did a test on this and the results were negligible meaning NO DIFFERENCE. If you don't notice the difference in clarity and res you're blind, if you use 120hz use 1080p and if you use 60hz use 1440p. 1080p looks awful but is a tradeoff I'm willing to make to get the 120hz experience on my S20.
@@Flash363 1080p looks awful now??? Damn. I still watch videos in 720p with no complaints
Which version of the S20 Ultra's proccesor do they have?
Can u do the same with the oneplus 8 pro but with 4 modes? 120 qhd, 120 fullhd, 60qhd,60fhd? Ty and nice video
The background looks like you're in toilet or swimming pool..
Adaptive refresh rate: Let me introduce myself 😎
Please could you do the same test with an exynos variant? Thx!!!
Wait do you play both of the phones at the same time one goes first then the next one?
It's the resolution also different on both phones? On S20 Ultra 60hz is 2k but the 120hz is 1080p
Resolution don't matter, did you see his battery drain test on FHD vs QHD? You should watch it, they were basically the same only 1 percent difference and the QHD won
@@dantedijon1 oof Jesus.. he tested only day to day apps. Using 1440p and 1080p resolutions are affecting games and video content. If you play games in 1440p you will have a better resolution sure but your battery will drain quicker than normal and your performance will decrease as 1440p requires more gpu hence the battery life decrease and lower performance. If you put 1080p while gaming your resolution quality will decrease but you will have better performance and far better battery life.
Using 1440p on Netflix is the same as the games but not to that extent. It will take longer to charge your device assuming you are watching a video at 1440p on either Netflix or youtube and charging at the same time. Because he tested it in day to day apps like Messenger app(not fb one) Instagram etc they don't even require 1440p resolution.. that's why you don't notice any battery drain.
He can put both phones on 1080p and just change the refresh rate no?
@@ernestohysa9818
So what you're saying is, in day to day use there's no difference, but if your mobile gaming (something not many people do) then 1080p will save battery? How surprising, thank you captain obvious.
It's LED screens so it only will drain more when there is qHD content being played.
Wow I’m super early, High refresh ain’t got nothing on me
Keep up the good work.u always know what we want to see.
These phones would really benefit from a dynamic refresh rate. Its just software, so it should be relatively easy to implement
a very important tip from me -
never let your battery drop below 20% it can damage and reduce battery's life
Kinda hard to pull that off when most phone batteries are too small to get through an entire day of use
rarely uploads every few days. Usually once a month 🤔
Its called quality over quantity
Phone manufacturers rarely release new flagship-tier phones every few days.
Thank you for the comparison 🙏
Is it adaptive refresh rate? Like at 60 unless video or constantly scrolling?
okay so i left Netflix for this😏
Do this same test with Exynos version as well
The Snapdragon wins over the Exynos by an hour or more depending on the test
It's just intetrsting to see because I don't think Exynos would hold very well in 120 Hz
@@d3ar 1 hour? Thats it? Lmao
@Mahir Asef no its not. I have a 730G snapdragonm barely get 5 hours sot
Is this a single run results or has been averaged? Did you swap phones refresh rates and tried the test again?
Do you have this test on the S20 plus?
My S20 plus is less than a month old and it's battery performs badly in my opinion. For example for 4 hours and 15 min On and 3 hours and 7 min screen on time (60Hz refresh rate) it already dropped to 62% (NOT a heavy usage and does NOT including ANY kind of gaming)! The calculation of the system battery app says that a full charge will last for about 12 hours with this normal, not heavy usage. So can someone tell me if this is okay, and I'm just too paranoid about it, or it's a bad performance? Now, I'm saying that my phone is less than a month old, but that's since I bought it, I don't know for how long it was been in the store before this, maybe a year I guess, (it wasn't used during this time, of course, it was just sitting in the box) and I don't know if this matters? Can someone aware of this kind of stuff tell me something more, please?
Forgot to mention all of this screen on time was on automatic brightness which is mostly in the middle or bellow.
Edit: For now 10 hours and 40 min. On time and 6 hours and 40 min. screen on, my batter is at 5%. I still didn't do any gaming at all. All I did was just watching UA-cam videos and read some articles online, not much Facebook time (just 10 - 20 min) and 0 Instagram time (I don't use Instagram). The calculator on the system battery care app says that I have around 30 - 35 min left. So it will not be 12 hours after all.
50 minutes is not a big deal to me when it comes to the smoothness that 120hz brings along with it. So, I will still prefer to use mine at 120hz.
BTW loved the video
Suppose say you're in emergency that 50 mins you removed by using 120Hz will land you in a state of panic
My personal opinion, especially since it’s battery life is great, I’d be willing to turn on 120 Hz, good video though enjoyed it
If I am not mistaken, 120hz doesn't support the highest resolution from the phone and also in some apps, it automatically switch to 60hz.
I only see 120 Hz very useful in Geometry Dash. In rest,longer battery is much better.Also I don't think that Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite even has that option to switch to 120
I have 90 Hz on my phone, and being honest it's REALLYYYYYYY hard to notice, you can't even do it, you can only slightly feel it over 90 Hz, so going up to 120 I'd imagine the difference 60 becomes much more clear .___.
@@draculemihawk10 why would it? the s10+ doesn't have 90hz so why the hell give it to the lite
@@draculemihawk10 its not about usefull its about the expierence i have a 144hz screen on my computer and the experience 60 hz vs 144 hz its just amazing ofcourse its not gonna help you every time but it still feels way better than 60hz
This is why we love your channel ❤
Cant believe we had to wait 4 months for a proper 60 hz battery test
How about testing performance too? Would be very interesting
Does it affect performance though? I mean sure it's smoother but I don't think it makes the phone perform any better or worse
@@yiangaruga4928 I'm thinking it might perform worse because as stated the processor works more
@@fanban2926 There will be no difference in performance but it will feel smoother because of 120hz. Watch gary's video
@@yiangaruga4928 there could be differences in speed, 120hz uses lower input lag, which means 120hz will activate 240hz input response and 60hz is 120hz input response. So 120hz is not just smoother but slightly faster
@@osaobeid7828 240hz touch rate is always active tho?
I know there is a test 1080 vs 1440, where there was no reasonable difference in battery life with higher resolution, but with s20 we are testing 1080p120hz vs 1440p60hz, so it would be nice to see apples to apples comparison.
Just one question : if I keep the phone standby, will it affect battey life?
Thank you for doing this
I really want to say I appreciate the amount of hard work you put into this video 🥺🙏🏽. Thank you and well done 😕👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Feel disappointed about battery performance even with 60hz, considering the massive capacity.
most likely the exynos chip, sd s20 series battery life is fantastic

@Josh 3204 samsung is worst at optimization. Rog 2 is definitely more power saver than samsung.
Doesnt the s20 ultra do that thing where it adds frames into places it thinks it can. Just wondering, was slightly confused why it dropped more than 60hz on youtube specifically
What’s the app used for the stand by test
LTPO would save a lot of battery while using apps like Spotify.
