While this improvement sounds nice on paper, it’s worth asking whether it’ll really make a difference. Nine milliseconds is already about as responsive as a 120Hz screen can display, so you’d probably have a hard time noticing a difference in average use, as going lower from here yields diminishing returns in actual responsiveness. Things like background tasks and processing can increase your latency, though, and in this case, a lower input delay can help offset that.
The video also discusses other rumored specs. The phone’s 108MP camera might be capable of taking 12-bit HDR photos, meaning the device can capture 68 billion colors on HDR mode — putting to shame even 10-bit HDR photos with theirmeasly1 billion colors. It also further confirms other recent leaks, like 45W charging andreduced RAM in the base model compared to last year’s S21.
At this point, there’s not much else to know about the phone, but we’re surethe leaks will continue rollinguntil Samsung launches the device next month.
