One of the cool features that Google Pixel has – but not many knowing it – is this Smooth Display – the ability to refresh the screen up to 90 – 120 times per second (90fps or 120fps). It makes the movement on the screen look much more fluid and smooth to the eyes. However that comes with a cost – your Google Pixel battery life. So learn how you can enable or disable this Smooth Display feature.


Here’s how to turn off / disable Smooth Display on Google Pixel smartphone

If you are looking for a way to save battery life on your Google Pixel, then follow these steps to turn off / disable Smooth Display on your Google Pixel smartphone:

1) Go to Settings > Display.

2) Scroll down to find “Smooth Display”.

3) Turn OFF “Smooth Display”.

Turning off “Smooth Display” option will basically turn off the 90Hz (on Pixel 4, 5 and 6) or 120Hz (on Pixel 6 Pro) refresh rate and limit it to just 60 fps.
