DishaSamir The A52s uses a OLED Display while the A32 use a LCD Display without PWM. Maybe this could be a reason for your problems.

I have try the A52s in the store and after 10 minute a began already feel eyestrain 🙁

DishaSamir I think you're having anxiety, but it's ok to not like a device so why not return it?

While notebookcheck are not always right hte A52 does appear to have PWM, I think all OLED type screens have PWM, but different people can be affected differently.

I had an S6 with OLED screen years ago and it was totally ok for me to use, but I was a lot younger. I cannot tolerate PWM on OLED screen devices now.

If its not right it may be best to return it.

Unfortunately it is subjective, I've had to return Motorola phones that did not have PWM as they still gave me eyestrain / headache / migraine symptoms.

It is time consuming and expensive but you will have to test devices, ideally at home as you cannot really test fully in a store as you cannot be there for several hours and the lighting in the store may affect testing / how you percieve the screen. Before you pay for any device be sure that you can return it first, this differs depending on local laws etc.

I would suggest phones that do not have PWM as a start, so you cannot use any phone that has OLED / AMOLED screen as they will use PWM to flicker the backlight. Look for LCD screen phones, use sites such as notebookcheck to see if they have PWM althought they are sometimes incorrect with their testing and it may depend on the region where they get their phone to test.

Or try buying older handsets on ebay etc as they are cheaper, but you will not be able to return them usually.

I have the Galaxy A52 (non-s). I experience, irritation, watery nose formation, the usual PWM sensitivity symptoms. Solution? none yet, i don't use it as often, only to make a call. A real expensive dumb phone for me. I tried the blue light glasses, it relieved a little bit but still experience if you stare at the phone for longer period (social media, email reading etc). I read the panel of the A52 is a little bit inferior than the A52s, or is it the 5g variant.

Also for me, A52 is unusable. I am currently on A70 Android 9 and it is perfect.
