Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge Google's mid-range Pixel 6a ships with a 6.1-inch OLED display running at 60Hz, but there's a method to unlock a 90Hz mode. Twitter user TheLunarixus has created a mod to unlock the 90Hz mode on the Pixel 6a, and they're working on a custom ROM to make it easy for any Pixel 6a owner to unlock the improved refresh rate.
Verge Senior Editor Sean Hollister has tested the mod on his own Pixel 6a, and has confirmed it works. What we don't know is whether the display panel truly supports 90Hz, or whether this is effectively overclocking it to get to the faster refresh rate. We've reached out to Google to comment on whether 90Hz is simply software locked, or if there are indeed display panel constraints.
