Samsung GALAXY S20 Ultra since this year, it has implemented a screen that has a refresh rate of 120 Hz, just like other competing phone models that were launched in the past years. The integration of this new technology in the Samsung GALAXY S20 Ultra was done to please the fans and radically improve the user experience, even if it only works at Full HD resolution, and even if the battery autonomy is reduced during use.
Samsung GALAXY S20 Ultra had a test done recently to show us how the battery life of the phone is affected when the 120 Hz refresh rate for the screen is activated, and the difference is considerable. According to those who tested this technology, activating the 120 Hz refresh rate for the Samsung GALAXY S20 Ultra screen reduces the battery life of the phone by approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes, i.e. almost 20%.
Samsung GALAXY S20 Ultra: Battery life REDUCED by 120Hz
Samsung GALAXY S20 Ultra it would get about 12 hours and 23 minutes of autonomy for the battery in the standard operating mode, but activating the 120 Hz refresh rate reduces the autonomy by 2 hours and 20 minutes. Even if this technology were used constantly, the autonomy of the Samsung GALAXY S20 Ultra is very good compared to that of many other phones, so using this system is not necessarily such bad news.
Samsung GALAXY S20 Ultra it manages to beat the iPhone 11 Pro Max with the standard battery life, but when the 120 Hz refresh rate is activated, it drops substantially. Even in these conditions, I think it's worth the compromise of 2 hours of autonomy to benefit from a much smoother user experience in the Samsung GALAXY S20 Ultra, so there shouldn't be too many complaints from those who bought it .
Samsung GALAXY S20 Ultra has extremely good news with this unexpectedly good result in terms of battery life, and it will be interesting to see what other results will be revealed by other tests.
