Usable Smartphones?

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.

jpark28 According notebookcheck all ROG phones suffer from PWM flickwer.

hi. any body test note 11t pro pluse for pwm? said it has full dc dimming option!

pavelbures

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

hoss11-1

pavelbures can you send its link please?

pavelbures

jpark28 At least for me is 22 percent still high enough.

@John615 Did you buy the g100?

How are you finding the A32 5G? Using the Mi 10t Pro gives me migraine even with the brightness above 60%.

The A32 I find better than my old device, which was an A6 with PWM (it is a work phone only) as it has an oled screen. The A32 is very bright but it has a screen protector on, not sure what sort though as I didnt do it but its usable for me for shot periods at least, I am not using it for games or media though.

The A32 does not appear to have PWM but it may have a pannel that my eyes / brain can tolerate perhaps, I do know some panels affect people differently.

It does make my eyes feel a bit funny but i do not get a migraine from it (yet)

John615 good luck! let us know how it goes.

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.

Hisense A9 is released- somebody bite the bullet and see if works in the USA

reaganry Any recommendations of a trusty seller? I don’t trust Good e-Reader. Since I got the Sun Vision monitor I eliminated all LED monitors from my life. It would be nice to do the same with my phone.

reaganry

degen yeah i wont use goodereader again. i think the main aliexpress seller is the way to go. was 'fish' now 'The Chosen Ereader store'. no warrantees from me though 😉

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.

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.

I am using the iphone X too with zero issues (never tried IOS 15 to be honest..)! I will try to change it with the iphone 14 pro so i'll give you a feedback as soon as possible 😉

HAL9000 i have the a32 and it doesnot cause me problems then i bought a52s and it caused me problems

I've just realised the A32 I have is the A32 5G, which has a different screen (led) to the A32 (which is amoled)

The A32 5G doesnt have PWM, at least the one I've got doesnt. So that could be why people may have issues with A32 if its the AMOLED screen version as this will have PWM.

John615

15.5 is ok for you? I might as well upgrade my 8+ then that I cant use thats already on 15 (15.2 I think?) then, already cant use it but maybe 15.5 will be ok

Poco X4 GT Launching in Globally 23rd June 2022. I hope that this one will be good for our eyes!

SebbesApa:

Yes i also hope that it will be fine. The Dimensity 8100 is a capabel and efficient processor and it also has fast storage with UFS 3.1 🙂 Rumors says that it could start for 399€ in Europe.
