Latest rumor says to expect a 144Hz refresh rate for the Galaxy S24 series

For years, smartphone displays refreshed themselves 60 times every second, and for the most part, consumers felt that they were getting a smooth experience. The first device to feature a refresh rate faster than 60Hz was the 2017 iPad Pro. The tablet’s ProMotion screen delivered refresh rates as fast as 120Hz. A year later, the Razer gaming phone became the first handset to sport a 120Hz refresh rate.

This is a hard rumor to refute since it is entirely plausible

Before you get excited and start collecting change to save up for next year’s purchase, we need to point out that the report does not cite a source or give away any details about the higher refresh rate for the Galaxy S24 series. Still, a 144Hz refresh rate is a possibility for next year’s flagship line. It’s the kind of rumor that you can’t simply knock down because it is plausible. Still, we’d like to see some more meat on those bones.

The consensus among smartphone users is that once you’ve experienced a refresh rate of at least 90Hz, it is nearly impossible to go back to a phone with an old-school 60Hz refresh rate. A faster refresh rate means smoother scrolling and transitions. Overall, users should have a better experience using a phone with a faster screen refresh rate.

The Galaxy S24 line could feature satellite connectivity similar to what Apple and Huawei offer

The executive said, “When there is the right timing, infrastructure, and the technology [is] ready, then of course for Samsung Galaxy, for our mobile division, we would also actively consider adopting this feature as well.” And that could happen next year.

We could see the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s primary camera backed by an improved 200MP image sensor and the telephoto camera will have improved zooming capabilities according to the report. But keep in mind that we are just slightly less than a year away from an expected release of Sammy’s next flagship line and there are months of rumors ahead of us.
