I literally spent about 8 hours reading through all the comments on this thread for the last 18 months and compiling a list of devices that seem to work well. I was looking for:
- At least two positive experiences on this thread
- No negative experiences on this thread
- No observed PWM at any brightness level
- IPS LCD screen (not OLED/AMOLED)
- Fairly new (released in the last year or so)
The Redmi Note 9T 5G Global is the only phone that met all those criteria.
Here are the two relevant comments that I could find:
Jackeyestrained After buying and selling countless phones - the ones I've personally found to be absolutely flicker free are:
Redmi note 9T…
@Jackeyestrained mentioned a few other devices, but they didn't meet my other criteria.
Vividblu99 Redmi Note 9t (absolutely no flickering detected, even with the screen brightness set to under 10%, however, I can only really use it with the screen brightness set low, otherwise the light from the lcd screen seems way too harsh, but doesn't cause strain in the conventional sense. It just feels too piercing at higher brightness levels.
I'm a bit worried about coverage in the U.S., but I've ordered a phone and once I get the IMEI I'll check compatibility on various networks. I don't care about things like the size of the phone or which carriers it works on, as long as I don't get headaches and I can find one carrier with fair coverage.
I'll post back when I find out what carriers support this phone, and I'll also post back when I've had a chance to use the phone for a while.
