Beware Buyers : The Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ only support variable refresh rates of 48Hz-120Hz, not 10-120Hz

 

Samsung has recently announced its Samsung Galaxy S22 lineup with the Galaxy S22, S22+ and S22 Ultra. 

In their initial press release, Samsung had sent the media that the Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ were equipped with 10~120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays. 

However, 3 days later, Samsung has silently changed the details of the press release, now stating that the Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ were equipped with only 48~120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays instead. 

The news came from Twitter user, Ross Young, who noticed that Samsung had changed the details of the Galaxy S22 and S22+ in their marketing materials 2 days after launch. 

From what he had gathered, he had noticed that in Samsung older marketing materials, it mentioned that both the Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ were equipped with 10~120Hz variable refresh rate displays, but in the new marketing materials Samsung has published, the Galaxy S22 and S22+ are only equipped with 48Hz~120Hz variable refresh rate displays, same as last year’s S21 and S21+. 

This info is also further confirmed via comparisons between Samsung’s Newsroom current website for the Samsung Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ and the archived version of said website via Internet Wayback Machine. 

Samsung silently changed the details of its Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ after it has opened pre-orders on Feb 10 for both phones in several markets such as in the US, Europe and Southeast Asia. 

The mislabelling of the specifications of the display has also reached the general public as many tech channels have uploaded their hands-on and impressions videos, mentioning that both devices have 10~120Hz refresh rate displays, when in reality, the S22 and S22+ only support 48~120Hz.
