I thought it's just happening only on mid-range phones.
I also experienced it while playing MLBB after updating to Android 13 One Ui 5.0.
I set my frame rate to from High to Ultra but it keeps on dropping.

First off, FPS is not equal to refresh rate. Here's a brief explanation for PCs but it also applies to mobile devices: https://history-computer.com/fps-vs-refresh-rate/#:~:text=FPS%2C%20which%20stands%20for%20frames,to%....

Second, it's not a hardware limitation. Our devices nowadays are more than capable of putting out moar fps at higher refresh rates. It's just the developers not enabling it (except for special arrangements like some do with Sony and most gaming phone makers).

So it's not just Sammy, it's everyone, even it's fruity rival. If you can get 50-60fps on 60hz (even if set to 120hz or higher), imho, you should be golden.

First of all it's very noticeable. Secondly I opened dev opt. Then show FPs and indeed it was capped at 30 fps when opening the game. Thirdly i ask our fb group of s22 and most of us have the same issue.

The game is Mobile Legends.

This happened after the recent update

Hi my device was updated last dec 15 with the latest security patch. So i will not see any update available.

I maybe mistaken if it was caused by the recent update but this issue happened recently or with the games update.

I am a member of a samsung s22 group and a lot of us are experiencing this issue. Accodring to them it happened to them recently as well.

Our gaming experience is affected by this issue it was very slow frame rate.
