seeing my friend's 120hz phone set to 60hz, I'm convinced it's not as smooth as native 60hz on my phone and makes for a somewhat disingenuous comparison.

That's because 120hz displays also need to have a faster pixel response to accommodate the higher refresh rate, so when you set those displays to 60hz you will see each frame much more clearly. 60hz on a display with slow pixel response will make most frames look like a blurry mess, which helps to hide how stuttery 60hz really is. It's similar to how movies/videos look okay at 24 fps if there is a ton of motion blur. Try capturing a 24fps video with your phone and it won't have the same motion blur so it will look like it's stuttering massively.
