Huawei today officially released a number for products in its home market with the P40 series smartphones at the helms. The company equally unveiled the X65 Smart TV with an OLED display and several amazing features.

During the launch event, Huawei’s CEO Yu Chengdong took time to respond to complaints about the P40 series not featuring support for 120Hz screen refresh rate. Yu Chengdong disclosed that the Huawei P40 Pro can naturally be configured to support the 120Hz refresh rate. However, the company took into consideration other factors such as the power consumption of the phone and others which he did not mention. Thus, the Chinese giant decided to stick with the 90Hz refresh rate as the maximum for the P40 Pro.

The Huawei CEO argued that the 90Hz display of the P40 Pro and P40 Pro+ has been optimized to be very smooth. For the avoidance of doubt, while the P40 Pro and P40 Pro+ features support for 90Hz refresh rate, the standard Huawei P40 has a 60Hz screen refresh rate.

Higher screen refresh rates have become important components of flagship models. We have seen OEMs bump up the refresh rates of their smartphone models from the usual 60 Hertz to 90 Hertz and even up to 120 Hertz especially on gaming smartphones. This has brought improvement to the gaming experience. Even though the P40 Pro only has support for 90Hz refresh rate, it is widely accepted that 90Hz is just adequate to handle most of the mobile games with heavy graphics smoothly. It also offers better battery consumption than a 120Hz refresh rate.
