I got my phone this morning when I woke up and it seemed to have 120hz cause everything scrolled so seamless and looks cool. There was no lag. Maybe it was a glitch, but something in the device allowed it. Anyone else have their iPhone X do this?
Got a tip for us?

You most likely are seeing things. A 120 Hz screen is something only done from factory... Apple doesn't list it because it most like you it doesn't have it
Nah it's just smooth to scroll. iPhone X is a beast of a phone and Safari's buttery.
However you'll definitely notice the difference with 120hz. Text is still perfectly readable even when scrolling as fast as your little fingers can peddle.
Yes, it does have 120Hz screen, also 4k and HDR but somehow Apple decided to disable them in software ...
Let me rephrase it, do you have a valid source that states that the iPhone has a 4K + HDR @ 120 Hz screeen?
The iPhone X samples touch input at 120hz, but I never read anywhere that the iPhone X display woks at 120hz. In fact, I believe all iPhones are locked at 60Hz?
As for the iPhone X being 4k? Locked by Software? Software doesn't suddenly make the display have more pixels.
I'm not syaing it, the OP is. I am asking for him to back up his claim of a 4K+HDR @ 120 Hz screen on the X.
I understand that. I was only mentioning it because I believe the confusion on the 120Hz might be the touch input. But i have no idea where @OP would have got the software locked 4k notion.
Neither do I have the faintest of clues. I get HDR, because it is proven that the 8 (+) and X have HDR, but not 4K and certainly not at 120 Hz.... the later would have been a good enough reason to really entice me to the X.
All I'm saying is that it looked different than it normally does. There was no shadow ins scrolling, you know the slight shadow that appears when you scroll but 120hz iPads don't have it? It was strange and cool but didn't last long and that's why I think it was a glitch.
Not exactly the same, but the X does have the 120hz touch input, which aids in things like scrolling. It's main purpose is to make gestures extremely smooth, which of course it does. Best performance I have seen on any iOS device.
If anything scrolling would likely be worse on iPhone X due to OLED display which tends to have a little bit of lag. Part of the reason I prefer LCD. I don't have an iPhone X though so I can't say if overall it's less smooth than previous models while scrolling (specifically regarding the display).
Once they release 120hz screens (hopefully this year, but probably 2019), then we will have a great, higher standard.

That was a massive feature on the iPad Pro is the 120 HZ refresh rate. It just makes everything that much more seamless with multitasking on iPad. When You compare a previous iPad with the new iPad Pro's with 120 Hz refresh rate, significant difference in performance.
Both the 10.5 Pro and 12.9 second generation iPad Pro when they launched in June 2017 during WWDC, both incorporate the 120HZ refresh rate.
Switch to LG OLED, that'll cut it down to $1100. Take out the heavy steel and replace it with aluminum, $1050. I'll take that deal.
