I was at the store just now. On the way out I looked at the cellphone booth and played with a few.

Writing to let you know that the Samsung Z Fold5 on Android 13 is good.

This is a folding screen, so you can feel the bend under your finger, can't be helped.. but it's a neat device. The folding ability makes it a compact tablet, and the folded outside is another screen. I didn't pay attention to the outside screen.

Demo mode is set to vivid, but looked fine. You can change it to natural in the settings and it looks better.

Yes, I know this is a super expensive device for most people. Check it out in a store if you have opportunity to do so.

PS. I have no plans to get a phone anytime soon, my 2019 device is doing fine. Also, in terms of PWM, I can use it if it's a good kind. This Z Fold5, I looked it up, it does 240 Hz 50% and up, and at lower brightness levels 120 Hz. This is fine because the waveform looks softer, the peaks look wider than what I have now.

    Rui Bro can you use it in daytime now and why not make it your primary phone instead of Samsung A32 5g ?

      Rui Any update on Oneplus nord 3 I am going to buy it in this sunday I tried so many amoled smartphones but no luck on my side so please answer ?

          ashento899 If you are able to use current IPS LED laptop and monitors you should be fine. If they cause you problems, this phone will not work for you.

          I bought it and tested it, it gives you a massive amount of control over the screen in options easily found in settings. Colour mode, refresh rate, eye safety, blue light blocking, etc. It's amazing. But it's still IPS LED so it did not work for me. I had the same symptoms as I do with all laptop screens made after 2020.

              nikomanuel96 Guys, last update on the narzo 30 5g.

              The good things first: now that some weeks have passed i focus more easily on the screen and text. I gave the e5 play to an friend, so i guess stoping using it helped to focus well again.

              Another thing is that i stoped using the color calibrator app, it was not stable enough.

              Now goes the bad (or not so bad) part: i just updated it to android 13. I know it was risky but i just did it.😁

              The good part is: the update is actually good performance wise. Even if i have the 4 gb model it dosent feel worse than a11 , everything is smooth.

              The bad part: the default font changed, is not that good in comparassion to the a11 one. Now the notification bar is transparent, it looks good on videos and so on but seeing it live on the narzo is not that good, it looks more like an "strange" gray. You cant make it dark like on a11.

              Also the option of diming the screen on the battery saver section dosent work like before, now it only works when the phone is below 25% .

              Now goes the good part again: when i see all of this i was thinking i destroyed my narzo, but even with the ugly font and so on i dont feel more or less eye strain using it, i feel the same as on a11!! 🎉.

              Also, i discovered i can enable the dim option like before using the "set edit" app, i just have to search the "power_save_backlight_state" string and change it to 1. And vuala! I can enable the dim option anytime i want like on a11. But you have to do this everytime the phone reboots.

              So yes. In the end i would my eyes adapted to the narzo and realme ui 4. I would like the notification bar was black and not transparent as it looks weird for my eyes, and also that the backlight was less intense, but other than that is okay. 7/10

              Sorry bad english.

                Be carefull. Just buy if you have any chance to return it after using it. Like I said there's no DC Dimming, many sites claim it has 1440 Hz pwm dimming, but the official sites does not mention that. Also there's a Russian video where they're testing pwm and the results are not good. Maybe I was lucky with my unit. Something simillar happened with Xiaomi 11T Pro, other amoled with low pwm and was great for my eyes.

                    Anyone else tried the Nord 3? Has it worked for you? Trying to find more feedback on this device online but so far can only see Rui's posts.

                    Hi,

                    Unfortunately the new Fairphone 5 uses an OLED display.

                    Has anyone tested it already?

                    Thanks und advance

                      Rui Thanks Rui I just got my Nord 3 and its really good zero eyestrain for me too It is my first Amoled phone without any eyestrain or headache .

                          ashento899 Hello, I saw that you had an A52s. I also have one currently and I am getting close to desperate. It makes me dizzy, burning eyes and pressure in the eyes, migraines. Are these similar to the symptoms you had? I was looking at oneplus nord 3 as well but it's risky because it doesn't have high flicker rate but a lot of people say there's no strain from it.

                              Entity On A52s I get red eyes and migraines even I use it for only 15 minutes but I didn't get it on nord 3 until now but I didn't like oxygen os because I am recently used samsung galaxy M34 for 1 month it has issue like mild headache but if you set it to 60 hz then It's manageable it's way better than A52s

                                  Dok123 It probably uses the same display as the oneplus nce3 lite and realme 10 pro (or thats what looks like..its almost the same phone) so it probably flickers like the other two.

                                  But at the same tine someone on the pwm subreddit said he uses it without problems, so the best you can do is try it because there is not review at nbcheck or ixbt.

                                  sorry bad english

                                    Entity using nord 3 I have no issues but I don't like its other factors like oxygen os because I like samsung one ui features and not able to concentrate on reading text on it. It not feel sharp like lcd does I think only solution for me is to stick with lcd phone I will sell nord 3 soon in this weekend

                                      I am VERY sensitive to PWM. I can usually tell it's PWM when I can't focus correctly like the screen is not clear. I don't experience immediate major consequences but over time it becomes a debilitating headache so I learn to avoid it by avoiding situations that puts me near PWM devices. This includes light fixtures etc. Right now my work environment is free of PWM, and so is my home, for the most part.

                                      Glad to see I'm not the only one suffering from PWM.

                                      My current phone is the iPhone 8, it's on iOS 14.5.1. This is my main phone but I'm starting to run into major issues with lack of memory and storage. The screen is very pleasing to my eyes, and an overall joy to look at in terms of the display.

                                      My secondary phone is the iPhone XR, it's on IOS 16.2. This is my secondary phone and I used to use it to game and watch videos, but currently mainly just use it to play videos like Netflix etc. The screen/OS doesn't feel as eye pleasing to me as the iPhone 8, but it's great for viewing videos and I don't develop a headache with this device either after prolonged use.

                                      Both these phones are good for long term use, as long the environment doesn't have other PWM devices like lights, TVs, monitors etc.

                                      I'm in the market for a new phone currently. Being eyeing the iPhone SE 2023 (iPhone SE 3) but I heard that after iOS 16.5 it seems like temporal dithering was added so not too sure if I'd be okay with that, but also I want to wait for iPhone SE 4 to see if it will continue to use LCD or not.

                                      My wife currently has the iPhone SE3 and she says she's willing to use a phone with PWM, but I kind of don't want her to use one with PWM even if she might be fine with it. Over time she can also tell if a light is flickering or not now. But it's just that she doesn't seem to mind it nearly as much as me.

                                        Nord 3 caused lots of symptoms instantly! Now I have to sell it. Soooo tired of this merry go around.

                                          Jota Just try any lcd phone you get much better experience than amoled I switched to more than 20 amoled phone recently not single one without any issues

                                          phone I tested =nothing phone 1, oneplus nord 3, samsung a52s, a53, realme 11 pro plus, samsung m34, s20 fe, mi11i, oneplus ce3lite, samsung m52
