A 120Hz display can show videos / games of lower refresh rates with no problems. Not a frame is lost as long as it's higher.
LTPO screen tech is better. Adaptive refresh rates gives you significantly better battery life while making the content look better because it’s not giving you that motion interpolation visual. Displaying content at its native refresh rate is always best.
An always on display at 60/120hz is going to use absurd amounts of battery compared to one at 1hz.
It doesn't happen. Quote from wiki:
For the battery usage I have yet to see my phone dropping below 50% (charging once per day) so I don't see a issue there.
If your phone had an LTPO screen like all the other flagships you’d be ending the day with 70% instead of 50.
Adaptive refresh rate is better. There’s no arguing this.
It's better in theory but if it makes no practical difference then I don't consider it to be a useful feature. Especially when we're comparing with SD card slot and 3.5mm jack which I use everyday.
It makes a world of practical difference - it’s a massive battery saver.
I consider LTPO essential. I don’t consider a 3.5mm headphone jack essential, nor an SD card slot. We all consider different things differently. Very few people think the things that you believe are essential are actually essential, hence Sony being on the verge of exiting the phone market.
A practical difference how? Do you frequently use your phone for several days without charging it?
I’m a heavy user of my phone. Having it be constantly 120hz would mean I’d have to charge it multiple times a day vs just once.
That's fair. But you'd have to admit that's not a common use case either as most reviews (and my own experience) indicates that the phone runs more than 24 hours for average uses.
