The 8 Best 120Hz Smartphones in 2026

The iPhone 17 Pro Max suits buyers who want a large iPhone for reading, photos and video. Its OLED screen refreshes adaptively at up to 120 Hz, so supported scrolling can look smoother than on a 60 Hz display.

The dedicated telephoto camera gives this model a different role from the smaller iPhone 17. It is the more flexible choice here if you want different framing options without relying only on cropping the main camera image.

The trade-off is size and weight. At 233 g with a 6.9-inch screen, it is less suited to one-handed use. Choose it for the larger view and camera options; consider the 6.3-inch iPhone 17 if handling matters more.

This iPhone 17 combines a smaller 6.3-inch OLED display with an A19 chip and 256 GB of storage. It suits someone who wants a more manageable iPhone without giving up the smoother adaptive display.

Its rear camera system includes 48 MP main and ultrawide cameras.

The offer reviewed here is Renewed Premium, not a new handset. The seller guarantees at least 80% battery capacity, so do not assume new-device endurance. Check the current battery guarantee and return terms before choosing this listing.

The Pixel 10a is worth considering if battery life matters more than having the newest processor. Google advertises more than 30 hours from a charge; that is a manufacturer estimate, not a runtime we measured.

This offer combines a 6.3-inch display, 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. Its screen can refresh at up to 120 Hz. Check that 128 GB suits your photo and app library, since that is the capacity linked here.

The 48 MP main and 13 MP ultrawide cameras give you two views. One review criticizes the wide border around the display. Treat that as a design preference when comparing it with the newer Pixel models.

The Galaxy S25 has a 6.2-inch AMOLED display with an adaptive refresh rate up to 120 Hz, suiting someone who wants a conventional phone rather than a large or folding model.

The rear camera set includes 50 MP main, 12 MP ultrawide and 10 MP telephoto cameras. The dedicated telephoto camera is a distinct option alongside the main and ultrawide cameras.

Its compromises are the renewed condition and 128 GB of built-in storage. The listing states there is no SD card slot, so choose another capacity if you keep large video or game libraries. Check the seller’s condition and return terms as carefully as the phone specifications.

The Galaxy A57 5G is a large-screen conventional Android phone. Its 6.7-inch AMOLED display suits video and reading, although that size is less convenient if you want a small phone.

The 5000 mAh battery and stated 45 W charging make it relevant to a battery-focused shortlist. Samsung also promises six OS upgrades and six years of security updates. These are manufacturer commitments, not a claim that battery endurance has been independently measured here.

The selected version has 128 GB of storage. Its camera set covers main, ultrawide and macro views, so do not mistake the third camera for a telephoto lens. Choose it if screen size and the update commitment matter more than compact handling.

The Pixel 11 Pro is the camera-focused Android option in this selection. Its 50 MP wide, 48 MP ultrawide and 48 MP 5x telephoto cameras cover different shooting distances without requiring the larger Pro XL model.

This is the 6.3-inch model with a Tensor G6 chip and 256 GB storage. Google lists 12 GB RAM for this capacity; the 16 GB figure belongs to higher-capacity versions and should not be applied to this offer.

Gaming is a reason to compare alternatives: one Android Authority reviewer criticized this model’s performance in that use. For charging, Google specifies a 30 W USB-C PPS adapter or higher for its advertised fast-charge result, sold separately. Choose it primarily for its camera options rather than a promise of class-leading gaming.

The Pixel 11 combines a Tensor G6 processor with 256 GB storage in this offer. Its 6.3-inch screen has a variable refresh rate up to 120 Hz, supporting smoother motion.

The listing advertises more than 30 hours of battery life. Use that as a manufacturer claim rather than a like-for-like test against another phone. Your screen brightness, signal and apps can change the result.

Some owners report Google Maps freezing or display glitches when using Android Auto. That is a specific reported compatibility concern, not proof that the phone is unreliable overall. If in-car navigation is central to your use, check current reports and software updates before choosing it.

The Moto G Play (2026) is the low-cost option for a large screen and basic smartphone needs. Its 6.7-inch LCD supports refresh rates up to 120 Hz, with an HD+ resolution of 1604 × 720.

The main limits are 64 GB of built-in storage and 4 GB RAM. A microSD card can add space for files, but it does not turn this into a higher-memory phone. Heavy app and game users should compare the alternatives before buying.

A typical 5200 mAh battery is a useful part of this phone’s specification. Actual endurance still depends on your use. Choose it for straightforward daily tasks and expandable storage, rather than high-end gaming or camera flexibility.
