Refresh rate on oppo find x2 pro

I am deciding this phone between s20ultra. I have noticed a problem on oppo find x2 pro which is the refresh rate on this phone ain't running on 120hz constantly. Which app can run 120hz constantly? I uses youtube instagram chrome facebook reddit etc
Do they support 120hz refresh rate? I have tried the display unit, youtube seems laggy while scrolling even comparing with 60hz display. Have it been fixed? Thank you.

I assume you've actually enabled the feature to have 120hz running at all times instead of the default "auto switch" setting?

Yes but seems not helping any which is quite disappointing for me with that gorgeous display which is better in my eyes compare with s20ultra but cannot be benefited from the high refresh rate while scrolling.

Unsure of the issue you encountered , had my oppo Friday and all above apps you mention work fine 120hz (not tried Reddit)

I have tried the display models, which the display may not have been update the system. I am going to try it again later. Furthermore , do you feel like the speakers' vocals are a bit muffled and not as loud as the competitors?

I can only comment / compare against my previous S20+ but for me the speakers are much better in this phone and provide more clarity. Samsung's I found were quite tinny maybe not as loud either, the oppos were also more balanced.

This phone is hands down 100 times better then the "Can't Focus On a Galaxy S20 Ultra". Even without Qi charging, which would have made this the phone of year IMO, it runs circles around the Ultra. Here's why:
1. Auto focus is super fast and accurate. Way better camera setup than S20 Ultra. 108MP? Really? You can't focus using it and the 100x zoom is a joke. The pictures and video out of this phone are legit.
2. Super VOOC charging. You won't miss Qi wireless charging. Super charging or any other charging. All you need know is 100% in 15 minutes. You can see it go up a percentage basically every 10 seconds or so. Plugging in never felt so good.
3. Dual SIM that works and is best in class in compatiablity to essentially ever band used globally. I mean this thing even works on Verizon in the US. Get the Thailand or Malaysia version CPH2025 with dual SIM, 512 GB and 12GB RAM. Still cheaper than the Ultra.
4. 120 GHz refresh and QHD at the same time. Like others said, it works and is easy to setup.
5. It's not a Samsung. Enough said.

Agree with most of that except the zoom at 10x is no where near as good as the ultra. Also after updates there's no issues with autofocus at all now literally none. Just as fast as my note 10, and with my snapdragon s20 ultra I get literally double the battery life of the Oppo. I'd be getting 8hrs SOT in 120hz. With 1080p and 120 im like to get just over 5hrs which is pretty average.

S20 ultra speakers are definitely louder having both in front of me but the oppos are wider and clearer.

Yes and the phone isn't a brick in your pocket and you can literally top it off in like 10 mins or less at any point. Whether I finish the day with 15% or 30% makes no difference in my use. Neither phone is a 2 day phone. I can get all day performance @ QHD & 120HZ with my oppo. I've never had a problem even on a heavy use day with it. The fact that I can add 10% in literally minutes is great. I've never liked how Samsung phones take pictures. I've had plenty and tried to like them but really can't ever settle. I'd take an iPhone over a Samsung. That my own hang up I guess. I like my phone now. Doesn't mean I won't try something later. Vivo X50 Pro + looks promising especially if it comes out for the global market. Maybe I'll look at the Note 20 Ultra. It has some promise based on leaks. But really, it will probably just be more Samsung heartache

How about the immersive experience? I have heard that s20ultra got an update on dolby atmos, do you feel like it has improved? Before switching on the dolby atmos, s20ultra definitely sounds horrible for me. But after switching on, oppo's is a no match as s20 ultra gives a better immersive experience for me but with less bass. But as I have mentioned I have only tried both in the stores which is kind of a noisy environment with both phones not on the most update firmware. Have things improved on oppo find x2pro and s20ultra after several updates?

I have tried the display model. Youtube app can't use 120hz but the web version of youtube through chrome can. The speaker of oppo is better as it doesn't sounds annoying in the highs in the cinema mode of dolby atmos.

UK version , global.
It sounds to me you have your sights on the ultra.
For me in UK I tried the plus as mentioned but the exynos chip was useless I had it throttling within 7 minutes of YouTube dropping to 30fps which was a hard pull to swallow.
This and the green tint ... Then finding out refresh rate was he restricted made me return it. If it was a Snapdragon I might have kept it but honestly for me the oppo screen is better , sound is also better , software also and design.
I think the battery probably lasted longer on the S20 but the oppo has warp charge so not to bothered at the moment.
Camera I couldn't comment both seem good.

Actually after my hands on today, I am leaning towards oppo's more, it is just a hurdle for me to jump over to buy oppo instead of samsung. In my region it is sd chip which also makes me undecisive. I am also worried about the software update frequency of oppo after the first half of the year.

I jumped from a Note 10+ to the Find X2 Pro, don't regret it at all, ColorOS is less feature packed but almost feels minimalistic to me which is perfect because the whole phone experience just feels like lightning, not the tiniest hiccup
---------- Post added at 01:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 AM ----------
Also for those worried about updates the Find X2 Pro is officially on the Android Enterprise Recommended list which guarantees 90 day security patches for 3 years & at least major OS update

Question Samsung's Galaxy S22 Series Is a Low-Signal Beast

Samsung's Galaxy S22 Series Is a Low-Signal Beast
If you frequently have trouble staying connected to your carrier's network, the Samsung Galaxy S22 series might be the solution. In testing, Samsung's Galaxy S22+ and S22 Ultra phones significantly outperformed their predecessors (as well Google's latest Pixel phones) in low-signal situations.

Ohhh nice. I like this. A lot of my cell usage is in poor service environments.

you should add that it is about the Snapdragon version for a specific chip that is integrated by Qualcomm; Samsung had probably other priorities for Exynos

Actually just got mine delivered today (exynos cause I'm in Italy) and I am having issues with mobile data, i had to connect to wifi 3-4 times today because it doesn't work on mobile data

I think the software is beta like...cause the phone will release in 10 days and many reviewers have stutter bugs and something like that. Do you have a pocture of yout phone? Which colour?

It's the phantom black version, 12/256 exynos version (I'm in Italy).
I was thinking the same thing, I also have this glitch where the screen turns off when you're browsing the apps (just like you would double tap on the home screen to lock the phone) and the other screen glitch with the purple pixelated stripe popping up when touching the fingerprint scanner, I think I fixed that one by using a normal photo as the lock screen wallpaper instead of the animated wallpaper though

I'll reserve my judgement until it gets here around the 25th. Besides, these are brand spanking new phones so will definitely need a bunch of tweaks and updates.

I've only watched a few Youtube reviews but maybe it's the ones I watch. They all loved the phone.

I can vouch for this as I have seen similar reports and tests on the Exynos version being slow and battery life less than the s21U. So this isn't Trolls we're dealing with it's actually happening. So don't dismiss people so easily just because they are new and only have a few posts.

The article didn't mention the smaller s22 explicitly. Hopefully it has the same connection qualities.

Notice that they're referring to the US Snapdragon model, which uses an all new X65 modem. It's unclear how the Exynos model performs. If the Exynos modem is anything like the modem in the Pixel 6 Pro, reception might just be good instead of great.

Hope this isnt the case...my oneplus 7t pro had better reception than my s21 ultra and hoped with the s22u this will change :/

Early opinion of the Exynos S22 Ultra is that mobile data throughput is not significantly different to Exynos S21 series and Pixel 6 Pro modem. It may be slightly more balanced in low signal areas though - one bar performance is a bit more 'consistent'.
A new modem was my main reason for upgrading. I'll testing performance against a S10+ tomorrow, which will be interesting. The S10+ outperforms the Exynos S21 Ultra with 4G, consistently.

So I've got a Snapdragon S22U/512GB, and it def seems like the phone performs better in low service environments vs my old Note 10+ 5G

So easy to lie online

Question Another rant on Exynos model

I know, I know, there are already other threads but this phone deserves them all: worst phone I've ever had in 13 years og Android devices.
So many micro-lags that make this phone un-usable: my 4 year old Pixel 4 runs better.
It's not a matter of speed or or power, it's a micro-lag problem that's so annoying and frustrating...
When on charge o connected to Android Auto things are even worst!!!

What specs S22U?

Specs? It's the Exynos model as per Subject.

8mb or 12mb ram etc specs

my s22 ultra 12/512 is perfect no lag (micro?) 50/55 hours battery no disconnection and is an italian exynos
most people with problems use apps with terrible use of background

Could you describe in which apps you see those micro-lags and is it at playbacks or scrolling or whatever?
And if you have the 8/128GB or an 12/256+GB version would be interesting.

I have the 8/128 version.
Lags are everywhere, not in a specific app.
- Open Chrome, click on search bar and keyboard takes that little longer to show up
- Open contact app, click on a contact to start call and callscreen takes that little longer to show up
- swiping left or up from edges is a trial and error
According to many articles it's GPU throttling...
Oh and keyboard is impossible to use, toomany typos due to wrong key...

The 12/512 is pretty usable and not as bad as that at all but it is a bit stuttery and laggy Tbh it has similar performance to the P6P I had.

It seems the 8GB/128GB models (both Exynos and SD) are having these problems. Except for the keyboard issue. I am having some of the same issues on my S22 Ultra (12GB/512GB SD) and Tab S7. Which is weird because I use Swiftkey not the default Samsung keyboard.

I think that's a Twitter app issue. I have the 12GB/512GB SD model and I get a slight lag using the Twitter app.

12/256Gb UK model here, no problems at all with lag - cannot fault the phone tbh

Mine (exynos 12/256) unfortunetly too have sometimes lags and sometimes working very good- it's just lottery. For example yesterday after making only few photos phone just freezing for almost 1 min when i tryied exit from app.
I like this phone but software is all the time unstable. My almost 2 year fold 2 running smooth and stable all the time. Even my previous Note 9 running without similar unstable behavior via 2 years.
So i waiting for next and maybe next update for i hope more stable working.

The Snapdragon variant is no sweetheart.
It may have unsolvable chipset hardware issues.
For a 4um form factor chipset it's not doing so well with efficiency to the point where Samsung initially used throttle limiting by default because of thermal issues. The chipset is well heat piped/sinked in the S22U so that's not the cause.

Same problem on Xiaomi 12 Pro: I work with Xiaomi for device acceptance in H3G markets, and we got some delays on 12 Pro acceptance due to thermal issues, yet Snapdragon runs more smoother than exynos. The Xiaomi 12 Pro with snapdragon runs smooth and fast compared to s22u with exynos, trust me... (and Xiaomi has its sw bugs, yet runs better)

It maybe in part because of other chipsets, peripherals or circuitry differences. Too big of a rush and not enough prototype testing...
Samsung is surrounded by their own dropped balls at this point. Almost 3 years of dud flagships now... I'm not impressed.

Question Will the Lag ever be fixed ? Pixel 6 pro is running a weaker cpu but is more smooth

s22 Ultra will lag ever be fixed ?
I want to buy this Phone but in my Store it lagged so much.
Is there hope for one UI 5 or is this a wishful thinking ? Why is Pixel 6 Pro much more smooth with a weaker CPU

Pixel running smoother because have a lot of better optimalization and pure, light OS compare to OneUi.
Admittedly Tensor in Pixel 6 is sibling to exynos 2100 which is maybe only little slover i tests but have overall better working culture.

I got my S22 Ultra 256GB last week (United States version).
No lag.
I was under the impression it was the 512GB version with the lag...

Funny, I got rid of my Pixel 6 Pro and went with an S22 Ultra because the Pixel was terrible with micro stuttering and lag, not to mention network disconnection problems. With the S22U that all went away. There is some lag, but not nearly as bad as with the Pixel.

You should say what version (SD or Exynos) you experienced with the lag since I'm using SD and no lag at all from day one.

I have the Exynos S22 Ultra 512GB and afer half a day of usage it's lagging. If I keep using it without restaring (like I do now), I am barely able to type....I press the letters blindly and see after that what I wrote.

You mean that it lags in every action, every app ?
Like, does the keyboard have that issue on every app or only specific ones ?

Yes, it's lagging everywhwre with every app. Like I type (press the letters) and the letter popup shows after a while, eventually several popups shows at once. Sometimes I press a menu or menu item and I wait till it triggers the action. Using task manager to switch to another/previous app is also lagging. As I say....it is everywhere.
A restart solves it till it appears again.

As usual with Samsung,:
May untill August all the hype comes out ... Major leaks, the best Soc's, displays, next level this and that.
After september the first design leaks come in, along with scrapped next gen tech that will come someday but not with that next Galaxy (Remember Graphene batteries ? AMD killer Gpu's ?? Under display camera ?? Olympus Camera partnership ?? and the list goes on and on)
November we will see SOC hype leaked benchmarks that are killing Apple.
December we will see the dust settle and it turns out the soc isn't all that potent as expected.
January the truth comes out and we see yet again just incremental upgrades and even here and there regression (as usual).
May that year, Rinse and Repeat ......

Upgraded to a S22 Ultra last week, and I am experiencing no lag at all. US, on VZW.
So far everything about this phone absolutely rocks. Super fast, beautiful display, zero issues so far. I got the 256GB SSD/12GB RAM model.

Ok , seems I also have some problems , after the last update i made my gpu it's over 70% all the time and also I have problems with lag and hy temperature. I also tried to boot in safe mode but it's also not working properly. And it was usually eating like 1.5% /hour in stand by but now I see also 4.5% ...
Also when I open some apps with are cpu/gpu demanding it's crashing .

s22 Ultra will lag ever be fixed ?
I want to buy this Phone but in my Store it lagged so much.
Is there hope for one UI 5 or is this a wishful thinking ? Why is Pixel 6 Pro much more smooth with a weaker CPU

In the store it probably has old firmware. If it's exynos I heard updates fixed tons of issues with it but you will NOT see that in store. They usually have a 1.0 firmware and can't update it. But I may be wrong. Check a real phone, not the demo phone maybe you will like it more.
I have a snapdragon version and it has no lag at all. The only lag I have is shutter lag in the camera which is a pitty.
Cheers.

No lag here and I had a P6P couple weeks ago.

Question I plan to buy a galaxy s22 ultra, advice before buying please

Hi everyone, please I plan to buy a galaxy s22 ultra, but most videos or youtubers talk about heating or overheating, advice before buying, exynos or snapdragon or which version, thank you in advance

I don't have any issues with overheating, never have.
Just look for your best deal between Samsung or your carrier with trade-ins.

thank you, look at the comments please

First week with this phone.
I don't have any kind of overheating.
On the other hand, battery is sort of dissapointing, it lasts the same as my older phones (mi 10, mi 9, honor 8, nexus 5). Around 6 hours of SOT give or take. And the charging is slower than mi 10/9.

Does that mean other than that everything is fine? I hesitate between honor magic4 pro and realme gt 2 pro because I like samsung but I don't really know

whait for s23 ultra with sd 8 gen 2

Wait for the S23u with 8gen2, the 8gen1 and exy2200 are both inefficient.

I've got around 7 of these phones and out of them 3 had severe lag.
128gb seems to be the worst, higher memory seem to perform better.
Unless you are getting a bargain I'd wait for s23 ultra

Why? S23 is around the corner. From the leaks it will be much better in power efficiency, specially if you are in EU and stuck with the Exynos chip which i think sucks. I read Snapdragon takes better images and is more efficient (even if i read they get overheated also)....but much of that is fixed in the S23 that uses a updated gen2 chip.
S22U is a great phone but i'm dissapointed with battery and image quality still.
Compared to my iPhone images are a hit and miss. Sometimes they are awesome but sometimes they are grainy or colors are off or just blurry.
And as said battery drain is pretty bad. Like overnight dropping 7-8% compared to 2-3% on iphone.
Same when i use it, i can literally see the battery go down...

1. Notification bar is looking like it is a theme made 10 years ago.
2. Lagging and stutters is very possible, depends on unit to unit.
3. Phone does overheat if you planning to use an app that is a heavy resources consuption or badly optimized.
4. Samsung's devices are overfilled with bloat-ware.
5. Battery efficiency is pretty bad.
6. A lot of S22U were sent back for a replacement due to multiple hardware issues, for example mine is restarting by it self when a phone call starts (not every time) but at least few times a month.
7. Edges are not usefull at all but rather annoying.
8. Stylus has terrible grip, very uncountable to hold.
9. Speaker is terrible too, if you planning to listen to a music at full volume, stop.
10. It has very annoying notifications that are not important at all and unable to deactivate, for example (Messenger is using your mobile data).
11. Fingerprint scanner is ok but could be better, sometimes I have to touch it 3 - 5 times to get it registered (depends on angle).
I've been struggling with stutters, lags as well as audio stutters for several months until a big update came up. Scrolling through UI was extremly jerky.
Personally I would never buy a samsung's device ever again but that is just me and I understand other may be completely satisfied.
For older devices Samsung is releasing updates that are slowing the devices down so people have to buy newer products regularly. For me this is just unacceptable. This is a verified info that you can search for too.

I think it's an SOC issue on the s22u both the 8gen1 and Exy2200 are fabbed by Samsung foundries and are poor(Samsung foundries 4nm node was awful with low yields). The zfold4 with TSMC 8+Gen1 is one of the smoothest and fastest phones I've used recently, even much better than the Pixel. I don't think the issue is OneUI. I expect the S23u with the TSMC 8gen2 will be blazing fast and buttery smooth.

Might not be relevant to you, but I by now *regrett* buying the Samsung S22 Ultra.
The reason being that (depending on where you buy your phone) the firmware for your region will disable a lot of features. E.g. for me it is impossible to somehow activate the eSIM support.
And I really tried all the tweaks that are out there.
But you only notice these things after you've purchased the phone, because nothing about this is written in the manuals.
So my advice: Stay away from Samung phones.

Honestly, the s22 Ultra was a trash offering, regardless of the chipset, of course Exynos is worse. I'm trading it in for the s23 Ultra (I'm stuck with Samsung due to the purchase of a Samsung watch) and hopefully it won't be disappointing this time around. But to what I said earlier do be careful of what wearables you buy and from what brand, Samsung has great wearables, but half the features and functions usually get limited to their phones/devices. Unfortunately I didn't realise this when I bought my Galaxy Watch 4, and so now I'm stuck for at least a few years till I swap out the wearable and then the phone brand itself, probably back to Xiaomi.

I have the S22 Ultra snapdragon, great phone but some minor annoyances
. Battery it's not poor but could be better for 5000mah
. Speakers could be a bit louder
. And camera is rubbish at capturing moving subjects it always comes out blurry

I am in the same bought boat as you and bit the bullet and bought the s22 ultra 256GB. It's been 3 days since I bought it and honestly I am really satisfied. I had the z fold4 before but I found it impractical, the s22 ultra has almost the same level of performance with no noticeable downgrade. I have the snapdragon variant and it does not overheat. Battery life is OK, but it's too early to judge as it is still learning my usage patterns.
Overall I recommend buying the s22 ultra even though s23 ultra is right around the corner. Yes, it will have an effecient CPU, but I do not expect much from a single generation leap. A real upgrade would be s24 ultra as it is expected that the entire design will change

Don't plan on upgrading my S22U to the S23U. However if I were in the market for a new phone I'd wait another month and get the S23U. No brainer IMHO.

i agree with most of the reviews here. this device does not worth it.
can't believe it's actually rated as a Ultra/premium device

For all of you counting the S23U to be the perfect phone...did they not told us that the S22U was the best of the best?
Like the SD8Gen2 will solve all your problems...
I have both the S21U and S22U with the Exynos chip and both are running fine, no overheating, no lags or stutters.
From what I have read so far is that Android 13 with One UI 5.0 has improved a lot on both the S21 and S22. I had no complaints on Android 12 and have no complaints on the latest software.
Battery life...I can't complain but then I don't have any of the social media apps on my phone which seems to be using a lot of battery.
We have little to no bloatware on the EU versions and even then this is a one time solution, delete the bloatware.
At the end of the day its ONLY a phone. There are far more important things in life than this.

Yes, year to year I read about unveiled best and a lot of better from year old flagship.
And after few months opinion/ reviews about disadvantages and even features which previous model had better. For example low durability frame S22 series, worse speaker quality compare to S20 series.

Actually yeah, it will solve a lot, the performance will actually be worth the price tag itself, which as a heavy user I actually do need, it'll solve a lot of battery drain thanks to not being an absolute power munching ****show chipset like the current exynos, oh and I'll actually be able to get decent and stable fps with graphics maxed without the phone turning into an oven. Now lets not forget other things like photography and other stuff like that s22 ultra was a flop either way, but exynos took the cherry on the top.
