Hey Questers!

Today’s topic in our #TechTermsSimplified series might sound confusing, but it's key to understanding how smooth and responsive your smartphone feels:

Refresh Rate vs Touch Sampling Rate ⚡📱

Let’s break it down 👇

🔁 What is Refresh Rate?

Refresh Rate = How many times per second your screen updates the image.

📌 Measured in Hz (Hertz)

📌 Common values: 60Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz, 144Hz, 165Hz

✅ Higher refresh rate = smoother animations & scrolling

✅ Great for gaming, social media, and video

✅ Reduces motion blur and visual lag

🧠 Example: A 120Hz display refreshes 120 times per second, making every swipe and scroll look buttery smooth.

✍️ What is Touch Sampling Rate?

Touch Sampling Rate = How often your screen checks for finger input per second.

📌 Also measured in Hz

📌 Common values: 180Hz, 240Hz, 300Hz, 360Hz, even 1000Hz!

✅ Higher sampling = faster response to your touch

✅ Critical for competitive gaming and fast reactions

✅ More precise tracking of swipes, taps, and gestures

🧠 Example: A 360Hz touch sampling rate means the phone checks your touch 360 times per second, resulting in instant touch response.

🔄 They work together for an overall smooth + responsive experience!

📱 Real-Life Example:

Imagine a highway:

• Refresh Rate is how many times the road is paved each second.
• Touch Sampling Rate is how quickly the car (your finger) responds to road changes.

Both need to be high for a smooth ride! 🛣️🚗

📌 iQOO Phones & High Rates

iQOO smartphones like the iQOO Neo 9 Pro offer:

✅ 120Hz Refresh Rate

✅ 300Hz+ Touch Sampling Rate

Perfect for gamers, content scrollers, and speed lovers!

So next time you see “120Hz/360Hz,” you’ll know it means fluid visuals + lightning-fast touch! 🔥
