Ever wonder if your Galaxy S25 is really giving you that smooth 120Hz refresh rate? You’re not the only one. I’ve worked with Samsung devices for years, and what they say isn’t always what you get. Phone companies talk about high refresh rates, but how do you really know if your phone is reaching its best?
The S25 has a refresh rate that changes between 1Hz and 120Hz. It goes up when you scroll and slows down when you read to save power.
Sometimes, it might stay at a lower rate, making things feel slow, or it could use up battery faster. That’s why seeing the refresh rate in real time is helpful.
Samsung has a tool for this in Developer Options, but there are other ways too. I’ll show you official and third-party methods to check your S25’s refresh rate.
Whether you’re a gamer, a tech fan, or just want to make sure things are working right, this guide will give you the info you need. Let’s begin.
Display Screen Refresh Rate on Samsung Galaxy S25
Did you know your Samsung Galaxy S25 has a built-in tool to show the screen’s refresh rate? You don’t need extra apps. As someone who fixes Samsung phones, I’m here to tell you how to find it.
To see when your screen is at 120Hz or 60Hz, use Samsung’s hidden tools. Samsung, like other Android brands, hides settings to keep users from messing things up. But with Developer Options, you can see the refresh rate.
Here’s how to turn on the refresh rate display:
Enable Developer Mode:
1. Go to Settings > About phone > Software information.
2. Tap Build number seven times. You’ll see, Developer mode has been enabled.
3. Enter your PIN.
Turn on Refresh Rate Overlay:
1. In Settings, find Developer options.
2. Turn on Show refresh rate.
Watch Your Display:
- A small red number at the top shows the refresh rate (60Hz or 120Hz). Open apps to see how it changes.
Quick Tip: If the refresh rate isn’t at 120Hz when scrolling, Battery Saver might be on.
To wrap it up, knowing about your Samsung Galaxy S25’s refresh rate is key to getting the most from it. Whether it’s for smooth scrolling, gaming, or fixing lag, understanding this gives you an edge.
If your Galaxy S25 isn’t up to par, don’t just accept it. A simple setting change or tweak might be all you need to get it running smoothly. Push it to its limits and enjoy!
