Your Samsung Galaxy Galaxy S20, S20+, or S20 Ultra has a stunning display that's capable of running at 120Hz. Out of the box, the handset is set to WQHD+ (3,200 x 1,440), which can only run at 60Hz and uses the most battery life. If you want to change your screen resolution, you can set it to HD+ (1,600 x 720) or FHD+ (2,400 x 1,080).

Start by jumping into the Settings menu when you're ready to change your device's screen resolution. The easiest way to do this is by swiping down from the top of the display to open the notification shade. From there, tap the Gear icon next to the Power button.

Changing the screen resolution on your Samsung Galaxy S20, S20+, or S20 Ultra is that simple. Remember that you can only take advantage of the smartphone's 120Hz display when it's set to FHD+. We recommend sticking to the middle setting as it will uses less battery life than WQHD+.
