A new trend in the mobile phone industry is having a screen with a higher refresh rate. We have seen manufacturers launch phones with a refresh rate of 90Hz or 120Hz, and we will be getting a phone with a 144Hz refresh rate soon. The trend picked up last year and now more manufacturers are expected to adopt it this year too.

The main advantage of phones with a higher refresh rate is the faster and better scrolling experience. It is also a feature that greatly improves gaming experience, at least for games that support it. However, the feature has its disadvantage too and that is the toll it has on battery life.

For this week’s poll, we want to know if having a high refresh rate is a feature you now consider when purchasing a new phone or it is a feature that doesn’t influence your purchasing decision.
