Struggling to find a phone

Cozzyb

Hi folks, hoping someone can point me in the right direction for a phone.

Some background, realised I have PWM sensitivity with the Pixel 3a, haven't been able to use any oled devices since then getting the same feeling warm, uneasy, sick and then migraines.

Used a variety of LCD phones over the years since, I was using an iPhone SE and iPhone 8 mostly without issue until iOS 16 where I encountered the same issue as many on here, believed to be temporal dithering. Can no longer use either. Tried older iPhones right down to 6s and still getting eye strain.

So I've been trying other LCD phones. Moto g32 was awful quick awful headaches, currently using pocophone F1 but still get a headache by the end of the afternoon, feels like someone is pushing my right eye from behind, tight across my forehead.

It's worth noting I have dry eyes diagnosed and do drops 3 times a day.

So anyone have any confirmed temporal dithering phones ideally anything from 2018 onwards and under 160mm height as I can't use big phones.

You sound very similar to me in terms of your issues. I've got an iPhone SE3 (2022) on iOS 16.1.1 that still works for me. I don't know if going to the later versions of iOS 16 or moving to iOS 17 will make it unusable and not taking that chance as of now. You didn't mention which SE version you have tried but if you haven't tried a 2022 version it might be worth a try.

A few ppl recommended this , though need to scroll down . Need to read reviews after looking and be patient. Always go and try beforehand

Plucky35 unfortunately they only recently started testing for dithering so it's somewhat limiting
