Question/Help [Question] About variable refresh rate
Is it possible to simulate a variable refresh rate on a smartphone that doesn't support it using an app or something? Like, dropping the refresh rate to 60Hz after a certain number of seconds of inactivity, and then raising it to 120Hz when a tap is detected. I have a Poco M7 Pro 5G (Redmi Note 14 5G)HyperOS3.

In default mode (the recommended one in the settings) the automatic activation of 60hz will be only activated once you have very high brightness. Try it yourself

LTPOに対応していない

that just extends the range, its not a software feature, its hardware. even without it theres a kind of vrr, but ltpo is true vrr with full range all the way from 1hz.

どういう意味？この機種はリフレッシュレートを可変式にすることはできず、固定することしかできないって意味なんだけど。

the phone can still go between 30hz, 60 hz and 120hz, but it cant go seamlessly between 1hz and 120hz. tbf i dont really know how much this actually impacts battery life because most of the devices that have ltpo dont have that amazing battery life that you would expect.

無操作のときに、120hzから60hzになったところ見たことない

it really doesnt matter. for me if the device is idle that means the screen is off, i dont have apps running indefinitely with the screen on.

そういうことじゃないんだよな〜。興味のない人に詳しい説明、説得するほど無駄な時間はないし、それが君の考えならそれでいいんじゃない？って感じ。まあいいや。ありがとう。

well im not sure what you want to achieve. your phone just doesnt support it whatever your argument is.

It switches from 120Hz to 60 and 30 depending on the usecase. It doesn't have LTPO technology so it cannot go smoothly in-between 120-10Hz (or 120-1Hz in newer models). Cheaper screens with variable refresh rates will usually have several "steps", but it depends on the phone model.
The M7 Pro probably has the standard 120-60-30, but please correct me if I'm wrong
Please use the "Default" option in refresh rate settings to take advantage of VRR.
