SShreyas, 08 Sep 2023I don't believe some random ayurvedic foolery either. ... moreYes they should take more care of our eyes, at same time people are fussying all day long for more hdr2048++ color contrast brightness so.... What to do ?

At least they should put a safe mode, lowering UV, nits, PWM. And not that cheating with hidden PWM variations or software mask or color, all those very bad tricks for hiding problems under the hood.

For sure, the current race over nits, uv displays, PWM flickering, and even future mini leds seems not a safe path for eyes at all. Why no eye doctors and serious labs involved into that.

Then those German certifications tüv or whatever, it's a joke. No eye doctor into that, only paperwork people paid by their big brands customers.

    ashrobb, 08 Sep 2023Well of course an RX 6400 can be able to outperform the 780... moreFair enough but this is Gfxbench (Gsmarena used) which is computational based rather than Bandwidth limited benchmark, lets wait reviews for proper 3dmark and real life reviews and i hope someone make sd 4 gen 2 device with lpddr5.

      Hemedans, 08 Sep 2023It can compensate, Rx 6400 is 2ghz and has 12CU of rdna2 wh... moreWell of course an RX 6400 can be able to outperform the 780M. One is a desktop GPU with a TDP of 53W and much faster, dedicated GDDR6 memory. The other is an iGPU with 15W and depends entirely on shared system memory.

      A more accurate comparison would the the Apple A15 vs A16. Basically same GPU configuration, but A16 supports faster LPDDR5 with around 50% more bandwidth. Yet most benchmarks suggest around 25% GPU performance improvements at best, while GFX Bench shows similar scores in on and offscreen benchmarks. You can check the reviews on this site for the iPhone 14 Pro models to confirm this.

      Best case scenario, a Snapdragon 695/4 Gen 1 is still about 30-50% faster in GPU bound scenarios than a fully fledged LPDDR5X Snapdragon 4 gen 2. It is a massive downgrade.

        S, 06 Sep 2023What is india frequency license? First time hearing such thing.soc can handle frequencies worldwide, but in some countries are limited for pay less royalties

          SShreyas, 08 Sep 2023I don't believe some random ayurvedic foolery either. ... moreDid you even read the papers you posted? The first one is about blue light which has nothing to do with 1000 nits and the 2nd paper says high brightness can cause visual fatigue in a low light environment. In other words they prove nothing you said, it said fatigue and not damage. Besides no sane person is going to use 1000 nits in the dark anyway, it is used when ambient lighting is very strong either due to sunlight or bright indoor lighting.

            Dan, 08 Sep 2023Galaxy A24 is a 4G phone right?Yes, with g99 soc.

              SShreyas, 08 Sep 2023"probably if they decide to shrink profit by 50%"... moreProperly answer to you. Dont cry now.

                    Lpddr4x is 2133mhz and lpddr5 go to 3200mhz roughly 16GBps vs 25GBps, roughly thats 64% more bandwidth.

                        I know. But then again, I mentioned peak brightness of both the technology. And since AMOLEDs have much higher peak brightness, even on an average, they are operated at a higher brightness.

                        This does make the health claims of that guy true and relevant.

                          The mere fact that you came down from arguing facts to telling how "it is good if it sells" and personal attacks ("cause u are lost case"), is more than enough for this discussion.

                                    Plus, I seriously doubt any OEM is willing to pay more for UFS 3.1 and LPDDR5 if they're using this cheap low end chipset in the first place. They're probably doing what Xiaomi did here and stay in UFS 2.2 and LPDDR4 to save more money.

Maybe manufacturer's will lessen u and will implement 400 nits screen, probably if they decide to shrink profit by 50%. Your perspective is completely wrong, and nothing can help there, cause u are lost case.
