The latest One UI 2.1 update offers a 120Hz refresh rate option for the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy S10, but Samsung’s last year’s flagship smartphones cannot make use of it as their displays are hardware-limited to 60Hz.

When you toggle on the 120Hz refresh rate option, it makes no difference to the Galaxy S10 or Galaxy Note 10 as their display panels are limited to standard 60Hz refresh rate.
