One UI 7 adds option to switch refresh rate for gaming

Samsung has added a neat new feature in the Gaming Hub/Game Booster app with the newest One UI 7 beta update for the Galaxy S24 series. An option called Gaming motion smoothness lets you switch between 60Hz and 120Hz so you can choose between longer battery life and smoother animations when gaming on your phone.

On devices running One UI 6 and older One UI versions, Samsung offers the option to limit the frame rate in games to 48Hz to save power. On One UI 7, that’s no longer possible. You can only set the refresh rate to 60Hz or 120Hz, though it’s possible Samsung will add the 48Hz option back with future One UI 7 beta updates.

According to Samsung, this feature will not affect games that have their own refresh rate setting. Obviously, the same will apply to games that don’t support running at a refresh rate higher than 60Hz.

If you are running the One UI 7 beta on your phone, you can access Game Booster and the refresh rate setting by opening the Gaming Hub app and tapping the More button at the top right corner of the screen.

As noted in the official One UI 7 changelog, users can also adjust performance settings, such as maximum frame rate, resolution, and the overall optimization level, separately for each game. This can be done from the Customisations for individual games menu in Game Booster settings.
