Usable Smartphones?

I would look into Androids instead.

Hi everyone! Some updates from me.

Some months ago bought an LG VA panel (can look up the model but I dont think its important) and it wasn't good on the eyes (high herz too).

Good news now, switched my OnePlus3 to Honor 90 recently, and can confirm its not causing problems. Color scheme set to Normal instead of Vivid, highest resolution and 60 hz option is completely fine. 120 hz im not sure about yet, just switched to it to test, as initially i started with low res and low refresh rate. Will report on the rate, but even if only 60hz is good, its still worth a try for you.

Actually after switching to 120hz, I forgot about it and realized a day after (today), so i think it doesn't change much, since i've been using it as usual. 120 is much smoother too , but i was worried it was not too comfortable. I can try to compare both again, but i think 120 is also fine.

I wonder if the formulation of the glass has anything to do with it. My device uses Corning Gorilla Glass 3. Specs on PP8 say Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

The GPU on the Pixel is Immortalis-G715s MC10 which is from ARM and not Qualcomm or Mali or someone else. Could very well be the GPU as well.

I will look at it when the kiosk has it on display. One of you guys should also look.

I've came across a phone that I've taken a bit of a gamble on and after about 2 weeks of "getting used to it" seems to have become comfortable for me to use. It's the Motorola edge 40 neo. Yes it's an pOled screen but it has DC dimming and the flicker of 120hz sits with its refresh rate so its comfortable for me. I've had so many issues with screens in the past and most have been oleds, amoleds etc with pwm and high contrast ratios so I have had a lot of experience of bad phones. It's a mid range phone with a decent processor, 8gb ram, 256gb storage, 6.5 inch screen, 68w fast charge and a good camera. I got it as an upgrade but it can be bought for only £299 SIM free. It gets good reviews and so far the software experience is great as it's near stock android. I have my screen set to 120hz and flicker reduction set to off and that is the best setting for my eyes. Hope this helps anyone out there as I know it's a nightmare getting a decent phone with decent specs that we are all comfortable with. Any questions please ask.

DAVEGEO I have one question for you in moto edge 40 neo why you set flicker reduction to off is it give you eyestrain or any other issues and which other phone you have used before this and not worked for you ?

Daniel4 is it 5g?

DAVEGEO

Yes it's 5g

DAVEGEO

I've switched between flicker reduction on and off and I find it a clearer picture when set to off. The only Samsung phones have found to be ok is the S2 and S6. I had to sell or return the following…S7, S10, Huawei p30, Google pixel 2. I also tried the moto g73 5g and that wasn't bad but camera was just ok with no ois.

DAVEGEO Can you used edge 40 neo more than 2 hours straight without any headache or dry eyes like symptoms also what your daily used on edge 40 neo ?

DAVEGEO

Also tried the nothing phone 2 and that had to go back as it gave me eyestrain and camera was poor.

DAVEGEO

Hi, yes I can. I'm using it now and my eyes are fine. I use it at work as part of my job and no issues. If I had to be really picky I'd say the screen is a little reflective but I'm sure a screen protector would take the edge off that if needed but it's ok for me so far. You can also turn up the brightness and that cuts through the glare pretty well.

Has anyone tried the new TCL 40 Nxtpaper? This has just come out, it has budget specs but looks to be a bit different with its screen design:

Seems to be an IPS LCD screen made to be super matte and paper-like; I might give it a go but I need to find somewhere that sells it in the UK and accepts returns.

Vip Argos in the UK now has both the 4G and 5G versions on their website and they do accept returns;

It might be fine for you, you won't know until you look at it.. but this is just a regular non-glossy screen.

In my case going to the stores doesn't work. I never get problems using phones in the stores. And also don't get many problems in the 1st day while configuring the phone. The problems start by the 2nd day of usage…

Jota

Rui I reckon you are not too sensitive in this case. For me the reactions are pretty instantaneous. Even 5 minutes can give a headache that lasts hours.

Do not buy TCL phone. TCL have lot of notification issues, only big and famous apps work correctly. Other apps are killed and they do not send notifications anymore.
