jpark28 According notebookcheck all ROG phones suffer from PWM flickwer.
Usable Smartphones?
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.
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)
Poco X4 GT Launching in Globally 23rd June 2022. I hope that this one will be good for our eyes!
Returned the G100 and bought an iphone 8 plus. Used it for a day so far. Hopefully this phone is usable. I read on macrumours to use it with the "zoomed in" setting. The phone updated to ios 15.5 automatically, I was worried about that but it seems fine the few hours that I've used it. Would prefer an android device but ios it is for now.
Looking forward to testing out the Poco X4 GT when it launches as well.
HAL9000 i have the a32 and it doesnot cause me problems then i bought a52s and it caused me problems
