YourLocalPhoneCritic, 21 Jul 2024240Hz PWM Flickering is definitely not the worst, but many ... moreThe PWM frequency on Xiaomi and Honor phones are inconsistent, looking at reviews on notebookcheck.net

A majority of Xiaomi phones only have 120Hz PWM frequency, even the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. But the regular Xiaomi 14 is at 429Hz, and the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G is at 713.5Hz.

Same thing with Honor - the budget Magic6 Lite is at 528Hz, the midrange Honor 90 is at 728Hz, while the flagship Magic6 Pro is at 360Hz. The foldable Magic V2 is the best one I've seen at 2272Hz.

    I can't get the hall effect sensor to work. Any ideas?

      Anonymous, 21 Jul 2024PWM flickering is one of the drawbacks of AMOLED displays i... more240Hz PWM Flickering is definitely not the worst, but many phones out there have already jumped to 480Hz. In fact, Xiaomi has reached 1900Hz... Honor reached 4000Hz whereas Samsung, Apple & Google are still stuck at 240Hz.

      15 Pro Max is 240Hz, S23 Ultra is 240 Hz, Pixel 8 Pro is 240 Hz. Samsung improved it with the S24 Ultra & made it 480 Hz... but it's no where as good as Honor Magic 6 Pro.

      I just find it funny that if you cheap out & buy an LCD IPS phone, you are not hurting your eyesight. Whereas the ones who pay $1000+ on the 15 Pro Max will end up getting more headaches, seizures & eyestrain. 💀

        YourLocalPhoneCritic, 21 Jul 2024YEP, the PWM Flickering frequency is way too low on the A55... morePWM flickering is one of the drawbacks of AMOLED displays in general, but 240Hz is certainly not the worst. There are panels out there with PWM flickering as low as 120Hz, 90Hz, or even 60Hz. The lower the frequency the worse the flickering will be, and the more likely it will cause eyestrain to more people.

        IPS displays don't have issue with PWM flickering. But these days, most phones that still use IPS panels are on the low-end or lower-midrange segments. Most mid-range and flagship phones these days use AMOLED as they have become cheaper to produce and more widely available.

          Babak, 21 Jul 2024So it’s not only me,my eyes got tired after a few minutesYEP, the PWM Flickering frequency is way too low on the A55. It's only 240Hz. (Just like Google Pixel phones & most AMOLED displays)

          To avoid the health side effects of PWM Flicker (such as Headaches, seizures & eyestrain) make sure you never turn down brightness to low, and never use your phone in a dim place with no ambient lighting. (You'll find more help at r/PWM_Sensitive)

In my life i'm trying jokes as possible more, but when you feeling bad sometime it not helping. The same i wish to you to feel only beautiful things and less pain. The world i think just went insane, that's why so many rudeness, insulting, unrespect and other mess. I'm not perfect, sometime i am not friendly too, but only with people which are too high of all others, trying to be like silly children and etc. We all probably are not perfect, but to try to be better human not cost.

                Babak, 21 Jul 2024So it’s not only me,my eyes got tired after a few minutesMaybe you, guys, are spending too much time on your phone? Because the recommendations are after an hour when you are at the computer or phone, do it few minutes pause. In Samsung smartphones is screen protector or something like this, i do not remember right how it calling, but adding blue, others colors shield. I hope it helps. I do not have any problem with tired eyes and etc.

                  My guess is the 120hz screen. You need to get used to it. Maybe try to use 60hz refresh rate instead of 120hz refresh rate.

I got a headache if I use my phone for an extended period of time. But then it goes away after awhile. I guess it's because we're not used to the screen.

                        Everyone, don’t listen to ‘@Samsung Watch6 Owner’, he’s just commenting and replying to every opinion everyday, just to show that the A55 is a masterpiece phone. Just ignore his comments, since he just wanna convince anyone to buy this one. He’s a huge fan of Samsung. Thanks.

                            Does anybody tried to record 360 audio while filming with video camera, it is working? Which Buds headphones do you used, does Buds Pro is supporting? 360 audio record feature is process when sound is recording from headphone's microphones, not from phone's microphone. In A55 Video Camera settings is 360 audio recording, but do not working for me, i guess.

But it's true that sometimes life is crap..., but sometimes it's funny. As it is said on TV, it's all ok, as it is written on the Internet, it's already a problem...), but it's mandatory to stay strong that's what i wish for you and evry which have problems with health. To tell the truth, not everything is fine with me in those matters either. And i'm not even your age. But let's stay these things to me. There is not any reason to hold on into this. What people saying heaven for sufferers? Let's hope for that.

Blue shield or whatever it's called there etc. after all, there are settings on the phone that should help without straining the eyes

                                        the screen of this phone puts a lot of strain on the eyes, after seven days I sold it because of that, has anyone else had a problem with it?
