When you're checking out the tech specs for a new phone, you may not take a lot of notice of the refresh rate. However, this specification could make a big difference to the speed, smoothness, and responsiveness of many of the apps that you use.
What's more, your phone is probably not giving you the highest refresh rate by default. High refresh rates use a lot of battery, and even the best phones are usually set up to balance battery life with user experience.
