How to Add 90Hz Refresh Rate in Xiaomi [Video]

In this guide, we will show you the steps to add the 90Hz refresh rate settings in Xiaomi. 120Hz refresh rate was once considered a luxury but over the due course of time, it has been adopted even by the mid-rangers. However, many OEMs still don’t give users granular controls over the same. If we talk about the Chinese OEM, then it only gives you the option to select either 60Hz or 120Hz and nothing in between.

For many, 60Hz doesn’t give the most fluid usage experience whereas 120hz is a tad bit strict when it comes to battery drainage. So they are on the lookout for an equilibrium level- that gives the best of both worlds. If you also echo a simial thought, then this guide should help you add the 90Hz refresh rate settings on your Xiaomi device. So without further ado, let’s get started.
