    Android smartphones are touching new horizons every day, and the apps are also evolving at the same pace. The recent addition of the 90-hertz display has paved the way for better gaming on smartphones. Before the launch of OnePlus 7T, the 90Hz display was limited to gaming smartphones. Now, several OEMs have started porting the higher refresh rate displays to new smartphones. Manufacturers have tweaked several features of the smartphone to support an increased refresh rate. Many softwares and native apps are made compatible to work flawlessly with the new screen refresh rate. However, they forget to add support for the 90hz screen recording in its native app.
