The final OneUI build for Android 12 appears to have locked the high refresh rates down to 60Hz on S21 series phones, according to a thread on the internet. stuttery scrolling and laggy app experiences have been caused by this. The bug only affects S21 devices that use the same chips as the S21s that have not reported any issues.

The internal quality assurance teams of the company have been made aware of the solution that is being worked on by theSamsungBeta Moderator. While we don't have a firm time frame for when the fix will arrive, S21 owners can manually set their display settings to run at 60Hz for the time being. This will resolve most of the stuttering while scrolling.
