Google has only equipped the new Pixel 6a with a 60 Hz display, despite an RRP of 459 euros. Or is the display actually faster, but artificially degraded? Very interesting reports have surfaced these days. Apparently, developers could unlock the Pixel 6a’s display and run it at 90Hz. So with the refresh rate that many would have wished for at the price tag of the Pixel 6a – and others actually offer.
Pixel 6a display may be better than expected?
It is said that the built-in panel comes from Samsung and is actually even capable of 120 Hz. The question is whether this applies to everyday use and which other factors are important for this. Some write in the Twitter discussions that unlocking 90 Hz could damage the panel. The presumably artificial limitation to 60 Hz would therefore actually be a good thing.

The developer and Twitter user, who virtually unleashed the Pixel 6a display, says he has been using the 90 Hz for a few hours now and wants to publish his unlock “soon”. The question is whether the display is artificially “overclocked” in the process, which is actually harmful. Or the display can really natively be 90 Hz, which would be good.
Google will have its reasons, but will we know them?
However, Google has not laid a scandal in its nest here. If the display really does support 90Hz natively, there’s bound to be a reason why it’s limited to 60Hz. But I sincerely hope that this is not an advertising reason so as not to endanger the Pixel 6, because the Pixel 6a would then be even more similar to its bigger brother.
