Stuck at 60hz

ZT-6ce35844
Star II
Please tell us some basic information before asking for help:
Model Name: ROG phone 3
Firmware Version: build number..... (....2007.32)
Rooted or not: no
Frequency of Occurrence: whenever the brightness is lowered to less than 40 percent
APP Name & APP Version (If your issue relates to the app): no
In addition to information above, please also provide as much details as you can, e.g., using scenario, what troubleshooting you've already done, screenshot, etc.
=======================================
Whenever the screen brightness is lowered to a certain level (approximately below 40 %), the screen's refresh rate gets lowered to 60 hz even after I've already selected the 144hz option in the settings.
I have updated the phone's firmware to the latest one but still the problem persists. I've checked it using various applications also along with different websites.
The only place where the refresh rate of the screen stays at 144hz even under low brightness is when a game is opened up.
This is unacceptable from Asus as this is a premium category phone, I'm very disappointed from this bug.
Question: Is this a software bug or a hardware problem?
Because if it's a hardware issue then I must return it.
Please look into this as it is a really serious problem.

We are aware of it. The 60hz limit is below 30% brightness or below 20% if you turn off adaptive brightness. The reason for this limit is to preserve image quality but we have been listening to all the feedback and we are currently discussing the matter internally.

Respected Sir, it's very promising and nice to see that, you have atleast acknowledged this issue. It would be a great help if you can provide an approximate date around which we can expect the FOTA update for this issue. Thanks.

I hope that Asus update this problem as soon as possible. Really.

The issue like this thing must not be happened on flagship models.

Otherwise, Asus must recall whole of the phones from buyers.
