There are several tests of phones with LTPO 1.0 screens showing that the VRR does not actually work (S21 Ultra or Pixel 6 pro), but is in fact only a change from 120 to 60Hz (or 48Hz) in certain conditions. Which is a shame!

However, I have a feeling that the introduction of the new LTPO 2.0 technology seems to fix this problem.
