Phones with a 60 Hz display

60 Hz means the screen refreshes 60 times a second; it was the phone standard for many years and today remains on entry-level models and some base iPhones. Scrolling and animations look less fluid than at 90 or 120 Hz.

60 Hz alone does not say a screen is poor; panel type, brightness and resolution are separate values in each model's own row. A lower refresh rate draws less from the battery, and phones in this class have no adaptive refresh either.
