Question:

Why am I experiencing stuttering and lag on certain applications when using the adaptive mode (120Hz) of motion smoothness on my device?

Answer:

You may experience stuttering and lag on certain applications when using the adaptive mode (120Hz) of motion smoothness due to the following reasons:

Non-support or issues with app optimization: Some third-party apps may not be optimized for 120Hz refresh rates, causing intermittent stuttering or lag. This can happen with new applications or after updating an existing app. Samsung keeps track of such third-party apps (e.g., Play Store, YouTube, Naver, Chrome, CJ Market, 11st App) and works with their developers to improve performance.

Power-intensive applications: When running applications like camera, video recording, and screen recording, which require more power, you might experience stuttering or lag.
