Back in January 2022, Samsung had launched the Galaxy S21 FE smartphone. But just over a month later, owners of the new high end device have already been complaining about a laggy experience.
For those unaware, the South Korean tech giant’s Galaxy S21 FE sports a 6.4 inch display that has a 120Hz maximum refresh rate. However, despite having an impressive refresh rate, which should translate to a smooth user interface overall, many owners have been having a laggy experience. According to some users, the device seems to try and display a refresh rate lower than even the standard 60Hz. In other words, one would feel a noticeable lag and even see stutters in performance.
This was especially noticeable with the UI animations, as per one support forum thread. The thread has even seen several reports that all point to a similar issue. As of right now, it is unknown exactly what is causing this issue. This issue has been known to persist in both an Exynos and Snapdragon powered Galaxy S21 FE. So, it seems likely to be an issue with the software rather than the hardware. However, hardware defects on display’s have occurred in the past.
At the moment, the only fix appears to be turning the screen on and off to get through the lowered refresh rate. However, Samsung has yet to offer any official acknowledgement for this issue or offer any timeline for a possible fix. So stay tuned for more, as we will be providing more updates when additional information is available regarding this matter.
