Hello, I have xiaomi 13 with 1.0.24.2.20 Dev rom now, but this issue is long term for me. As this phone have 4500 mah, my battery life is terrible like 4-5 SOT and phone getting hot in situations like scrolling browser, Instagram, or just watch videos in browser. After some observation, I noticed that phone didn't switch to 60 hz on static content, or during playing videos. It switch only when brightness is set almost to maximal level, so it's useless anyway, cuz I prefer to have around 50% brightness almost throw whole day. When I set 60hz manually, my phone never gets hot and my battery is about 8-9 hours screen on time. So I wonder, why phone didn't switch to 60hz, when content on screen rly don't need high refresh rate, also when brightness is not almost maximal. If there is possibility to lock something like 90hz, so it's balanced about smooth user experience and battery life, or some secret method to force phone about switching 60/120 all time, not just at high bigness, pls let me know, thanks a lot for answers.
