Post-launch, Samsung released the first firmware update for the new Galaxy S23 series devices in various parts of the world including India, Korea, and the US. This software has reportedly broken the adaptive refresh rate feature of the Samsung Galaxy S23 smartphones.
According to PiunikaWeb via SammyFans, February 2023 firmware update broke the adaptive refresh rate function on the Samsung Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, and S23 Ultra. Users report that the scrolling experience on Galaxy S23 is not smooth in various apps such as Google Play.
Since some S22 Ultra users are also facing lag issues in scrolling, this issue appears to be related to the One UI 5.1 software instead of the Galaxy S23 series. Anyways, users of the new S23 series are complaining about sluggish scrolling problems on various platforms such as Samsung Community and Reddit.
It’s worth mentioning that the adaptive refresh rate technology is applied in the Galaxy flagships to consume less power and battery juice. It works on different refresh rate functions per app, such as the Google Play Store and Galaxy Store reportedly support 60Hz, while others are full.
As the phone’s entire user interface runs on a 120Hz refresh rate, the 60Hz scrolling experience on unsupported apps looks laggy or glitchy. In that case, you just have the option to disable the adaptive refers rate feature from your Galaxy phone’s display settings.
We will update this story as soon as new input arrives.
