Google Pixel 5 Tips and Tricks: Here’s how to force 90Hz refresh rate

Just as was the case with the Pixel 4 and 4 XL, the Pixel 5 sports a faster 90Hz refresh rate for that buttery smoothness that we all love.

Of course, 120Hz would have been much nicer, but you can only ask for so many new features when a new phone is released.

Nevertheless, if you want to make sure that your Pixel 5 is always taking advantage of the fastest refresh rate possible, then here’s how you can do it:

Note: You have to first enable Developer options

Steps:

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Tap System.
  3. Tap the arrow down next to Advanced
  4. Select Developer Options.
  5. Scroll down and tap the toggle next to Force 90 Hz refresh rate.

It’s important to note that if you force the faster refresh rate to be active all of the time, your battery life will definitely suffer.

However, you won’t have to worry about dealing with slower refresh rates while interacting with different aspects of your phone.
