hello! I just got my brand new ROG phone 2 today and have been testing my apps and games since then. Everything works normal, the 120hz screen is as buttery smooth as everyone says, but when playing games I just can't notice any real difference between playing with a regular 60hz phone and this one. I have very few knowledge about the topic but I understand that the refresh rate and the in-game fps are different, however I supposed that using the 120hz mode should also increase the number of fps shown by the in-game stats, but in every game I test it always shows 60fps at maximum. I use to play Brawl Stars (a relatively low graphics game) a lot, and I noticed they posted about the recent launch of an update specifically made to give support to the 120hz refresh rate on the ROG phone 2, but It just goes to 60fps. I already tried setting the refresh rate to 120hz in the armoury crate app for the games but saw no difference. Is there any configuration or tweak I'm missing?. Oh, and I got the 8/128GB Tencent version. Thanks for your help.

That's because the games are capped at 60FPS by the developers. So, even though your screen can go 120Hz, it'll only be as high as the game itself.
Try these 120Hz games:
Trials Frontier
Mortal Kombat
Gear Club
DEAD Trigger 2

Thank you. I tried with Trials Frontier and for my surprise it goes up to 120fps I wonder why even the one that comes preinstalled with the device (Asphalt 9) can't go over 60fps

Asphalt 9 is capped at 60FPS

Game Launcher only lets you select between 1080p and 720p. On the previous version I used Game Tuner to override it to 1440p. I didn't want to upgrade, as Game Tuner warned me about no support for Pie. But with the daily update notification, I could only avoid the update for three months before accidentally clicking Update Overnight.
Now my games run in 1080p again. Is there a way to get it to 1440p again? I would even gladly downgrade as this update is just horrible.
I can definitely tell the difference, especially in Real Racing 3, as it does not support Antialiasing; I used the higher resolution as a sort of Super-Sampling AA.
Sooooo open the game without game launcher?
Game Launcher doesn't actually list the resolution as 720p or 1080p. There's a "low resolution" option which doesn't always make a difference (maybe it was already 1080p). For some titles I think they might still run at 1440p but antialiasing has been turned off for more stable performance hence it looks like 1080p. Gear Club stuttered quite a lot if you used Game Tuner 1440p unless you overclocked but now it runs fine overall even if the resolution might be lower.
RR3 is not a good example because the game fails to even render at 1080p in the first place. People have been complaining about this since Nexus 7 2013 and other devices from that time, and the developers just said 'we can't fix this issue". It's done the same thing to me on my HTC Butterfly s, and Sony Xperia Z5, and is one reason why I'm discouraged to continue playing this game and waiting for its long download time. It's disappointing since iPhone gets much better rendering. Asphalt 8 and 9 aren't that much better either.
Last Brawl Stars update enabled 120hz gameplay on the ROG Phone 2, but it seems I have a 60 fps cap, as if I was playing with any other phone. I have the Tencent version, and yes, I made sure I had my refresh rate on 120hz and everything. Will updating my phone solve the issue? What do you think? The version I'm running is 1908.12, thanks for your help.
version 1910.52_0 is the same thing
I have the tencent version with 1910.35 WW rom. I read about the specific update to give support for ROG phones and was super excited even before buying the phone as this is my favorite game, but as you say, it just goes at 60 fps and nothing more. I have been searching if there is actually any real support for 120hz or even 90hz, but found not real proof of the game going over 60fps. Please let us know if any of you have more information about this.

Do you have WW fingerprint as well?

Yes, I converted it to WW. Can you play other games at 90 or 120 fps? The funny thing is that even fallout shelter (a 2015 game or so) goes sooo smooth when switching to 120hz; even when game genie tells it has only 60fps, I believe that number is wrong as I can definitely tell a huge difference when using the highest refresh rate. However, this does not happen with brawl stars.

Yes, I've tried other games and they work at 120hz with no problem. It's really weird. I asked some guy on reddit who claimed he had a ROG and was playing at 120hz, and he told me he didn't have the Tencent version, so maybe this particular version is not unlocked, I don't know how.
Anyone managed to enable 90Hz on pubg
the phone doesn't support 90hz by default, there is a dev in the apps and themes section with an app that says it can give us 90, I've not tried it. it's a trial app
PubG doesn't even run at 90hz on the PC. Why do you all think it works on a smartphone?

when pubg was released there was one or two phones that did 90hz, I think it was the only mobile game that made use of it at the time.

maybe he wants the extra edge a smoother frame rate gives you in a game, maximum frame rate in PubG mobile is 90hz, so 60 and 120 are a bit useless if you want to be a god of murdering
I have similar problem with Need For Speed - No Limits on my s20fe 5g Snapdragon.
The game stuck at 30 fps, it doesn't go higher. But on my redmi k40 pro it does run at higher fps.
Anyone know what is the problem.
I don't know why no body is talking on this , but the Exynos version of s21 ultra does not have an option to play at 90hz .
Also , we cannot play at uhd resolution and HDR is just limited to 40 fps ..
Where as on sd888 you can do it all .

The device barely handle 60fps.
My assumption it's not ready for 90 or uhd which fine by me, i never cared how much fps I'm running...i keep losing .
But you shouldn't have opt for the E2100 if you are interested in gaming tbh.

I have not bought the device yet , my region offer Exynos only ,
I am confused between this Exynos variant and OnePlus 9 pro .
I am getting both of them at a similar price , actually OnePlus doesn't deserve that price due to its poor software management and bugs and a relatively new company

After disabling the Samsung game optimizing service it easily handles 60 fps though... And it actually can run 90fps given how it runs LOL at 120 fps steadily..... It won't have a problem running smooth 90fps other than heating.

There's a lot of videos on YouTube regarding the process one from The Golden Reviewer as well.... You can do that through your pc's cmd prompt for free or purchase the package disabler pro on your phone through their website to make it easier.

What difference would it make to gaming ?
Is it anything better than intalling game plugins and game booster plus and tweaking settings?

Yes it indeed makes it better because it doesn't let samsung throttle its performance as low as it does normally. Everyone testing it on exynos version has appreciated the difference.

You are talking about disabling the game optimization ?
Or
Installing the game booster plugin and setting to max fps?

Disabling the game optimization is what I was talking about... As for tweaking the game booster and plugins ... It doesn't help much after a certain point.

It's not the processor, it's the phone. Because I have an rog 5 and a legion and it both runs at 120fps Witt no lag.
Facing the same problem, snapdragon 888 processor showing poor performance.The game lags when I play the game for few minutes during break time of my work on website juicerhunter.
