Usable Smartphones?
- Edited
degen It's safe to assume that you can skip the Oneplus 9. I wanted to like it's little brother, the 8T, but it's giving me tension behind my eyes and unability to focus. Notebookcheck states that it's a 460Hz PWM oled panel but from my observations it goes lower under 65% brightness(can be picked up by a smartphone camera). The DC dimming implementation on this phone doesn't eliminate pwm and, thus, seems more like a gimmick to me. On the "plus" side, the phone is fast and easily flashable. People are trying to downgrade from Oxigen 12 buggy OS (leans more towards Oppo after the merger) which is a clear sign that Oneplus is losing it's identity.
Has anyone else tried the ROG Phones?
10-bit displays (so no temporal dithering?) and no PWM after low brightness, and they also have a DC Dimming option.
hi. any body test note 11t pro pluse for pwm? said it has full dc dimming option!
jpark28 According notebookcheck all ROG phones suffer from PWM flickwer.
hoss11-1 I have seen Aliexpress offer and if I assume it correctly, it has 2000+ Hz flicker. So it is not completely flicker-free.
pavelbures notebookcheck says ROG Phone 5 doesn't flicker past 22% brightness
jpark28 At least for me is 22 percent still high enough.
Hisense A9 is released- somebody bite the bullet and see if works in the USA

Received the g100. Works fine with Verizon. Did a speed test and got 66Mbps down and 45 Mbps up on 4g LTE.
As for eye strain, I'll use the phone for the next few days as my main phone and see how it goes. Did a quick test with a camera and the phone does seem to have vertical flickering lines under 65% brightness as another user mentioned. Above that and it disappears. I really hope I can use this phone, because I don't know what else to try at this point.
I've already started the return process for g100. Terrible eye strain. The problem is it's too bright above 65%, and below that it has pwm. Will try the iphone 8+ next. The iphone 11, and SE 2022 were no good either.
The g100 does work with verizon if anyone is wondering. The whole GSM/CDMA issue doesn't matter as long as the the phone has the LTE bands that your carrier uses. Even motorola's website claimed it's not supported by Verizon but this is false. The phone worked out of the box and the data speeds were excellent.
I currently use the Realme 9 Pro with has a 120 Hz LCD Display that Notebookcheck says works without PWM. I could also find with the Camera 1/4000 Shutter no clue for PWM.
I use it for over 2 months with a matte screen protector now and it works fine for me. The battery holds good and performance is good enough.
Next i could try the global Version of Redmi Note 11T Pro when it arrives in Europe.
pavelbures can you send its link please?
Since my X went goodbye, I tried a Xs Max and this phone makes me feel awful. I was considering the 11, but I don't have a good feeling about it even though it is LCD. Many who have issues with the 11 pro, 12 pro and so on had problems with the basic 11.
I am pretty much at a loss where to go from here. That ROG phone sounded awesome, but I haven't had anyone review it that has had similar issues with other phones.
