The Sharp Aquos R9 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra differ significantly in their refresh rates, which affects their performance and user experience.
The Aquos R9 Pro features a variable refresh rate of up to 240 Hz. This means that the display can adjust its refresh rate dynamically based on the content being displayed, providing smoother visuals during high-motion activities like gaming. Specifically, it can operate at 120 Hz for regular usage and can reach up to 240 Hz when certain gaming settings are enabled, allowing for extremely fluid motion[2][3].
In contrast, the Galaxy S25 Ultra has a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hz. This model also supports a dynamic refresh rate that can adjust between 1 Hz and 120 Hz depending on the content, which helps conserve battery life when displaying static images[1][4]. While the 120 Hz refresh rate offers smooth scrolling and responsiveness, it does not reach the higher levels that the Aquos R9 Pro can achieve.
In summary, while both devices provide enhanced visual experiences through higher refresh rates, the Aquos R9 Pro offers a superior maximum refresh rate of 240 Hz compared to the Galaxy S25 Ultra's 120 Hz.
