App-based refresh rate
Reportedly, Xiaomi has started to release a new update for Xiaomi 12S Pro specifically for China. The update notes for this version only point out the August 2023 security patch. However, it was discovered that it was available with a brand new feature. As you know, most applications on the Android platform require a 60 Hz refresh rate, even if your phone supports higher refresh rates. For this reason, we may even encounter incompatibility problems such as tearing.
The newly discovered feature aims to eliminate all these problems. Accordingly, users will now be able to force applications to run at a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz.
The new functionality is expected to be available for other Xiaomi smartphones very soon. However, XiaomiUI has suggested that this will be part of MIUI 15. Also, we do not currently know whether this feature will be added to all phones and tablets. Therefore, users will have to wait for a while longer.
