Technology advances at an unstoppable pace. As new mobile generations arrive, all its components improve every year. This is the case of screens, whose resolutions, sizes and refresh rates have increased to more than six inches, 2K resolutions and 120 Hz refresh rate.
And it is on that refresh rate that we will focus today. The vast majority of Xiaomi devices, whether high-end or even mid-range, such as the new Redmi Note 12, have panels that work at 120 Hz, that is, they the screen is updated 120 times per second.
Find out if your Xiaomi screen updates at that speed
Despite the fact that both MIUI 13 and MIUI 14, Xiaomi’s customization layers that go above Android, make the most of the components of your mobile like the screen, other apps, or even games, may not, and let’s find out how we can know.
This is possible only through the developer options, a new world for any Xiaomi user who wants to take a look at the most internal processes of the devicesince this is where other more technical aspects are controlled, such as changing the ROM or unlocking the bootloader.
To enter the developer settings, we will have to do the following:
- Enter the settings of your Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO phone and access the ‘About the phone’ section.
- Once inside, click several times on ‘MIUI version’ and, at the bottom of the screen, you will see that the developer options have been activated.
Once these options are activated on your Xiaomi mobile, we can now access the menu for developers, which found in Settings > Additional settings. Once inside, you will see a lot of different options, but if you want to know how fast your applications or games are viewed, you must go down until you see ‘Show refresh rate’.
You will see that, once activated, all MIUI runs at 120 Hz, as well as Twitter or Spotify; while applications like Waze, Google Chrome or even Netflix runs at 60hz. You will be able to do tests with your favorite games, since you will always see the rate in the upper left part of your device.
To disable the display of the refresh rate, just go back to developer settings and disable the option. We strongly recommend that you do not press functions that you do not know, since you could damage your mobile, but if you wanted to know how much the screen of your Xiaomi works, now you know.
