Has anyone seen the Huawei Mate 50 Pro Notebookcheck review? Does anyone really understand this 😂? No PWM was detected?
Huawei is once again offering a camera flagship in the Mate 50 Pro at a steep price this year. Variable aperture, optical zoom, high performance, a high-quality case and an OLED screen may well justify the price , but there is another problem...

I haven't caught up with all the posts here yet so forgive me if I'm saying something that has already been said.
In following a very tiny discussion posted by IceUniverse on Twitter, he expressed dismay that only the Chinese seem aware of pwm effects on the nervous system and mitigate it in their products. He called out Apple and Samsung for doing nothing.
Well he got pushback from someone claiming to be a Healthcare provider who said pwm was a big nothing burger and there's no peer reviewed evidence that it's harmful. Well duh, there's no western sponsored research at all that I'm aware of so of course there's no "peer reviewed evidence" against it.
( I wonder what this person's experience as a "Healthcare provider" actually consists of. As amazing as the vast majority of Healthcare workers are, they're not all going to necessarily be well versed in medical research. I don't expect an orderly to know about complex neuroscience. Conversely, I don't expect a neuroscientist to be a decent orderly, either. It's not a matter of disrespecting one profession's skill set vs another, but acknowledging they're suited for different purposes. So one can't generically say "I'm a Healthcare provider" and therefore claim authority to dismiss an entire category of health concern. Unfortunately that's the type of discussion taking place outside of this forum).
Sorry, I guess I strayed a bit. Getting back on topic, it does seem the Chinese, for whatever reasons, are miles ahead of everyone else about this.
My husband once imported one Chinese phone. A Huawei P30 or 30 Pro. I can't quite remember the model number. I don't often talk about how we are propagandized here because I truly do loathe the CCP. I don't want their Spyware. I hate the IP property theft that Chinese companies and government collude to engage in. So normally I keep silent.
But I have to say, their phones are oddly way ahead of the Apple and Samsung game in some respects and have been for a long time. That Huawei's camera produced amazing photos in difficult conditions that Apple can now rival only a few years later.
And in other respects they are hot garbage. Nevertheless, it's a big loss for Chinese and non Chinese customers that our companies can't and don't compete more full out against each other.
Because I think we'd be walking around with tech that isn't frying our nervous systems. We'd have headphone ports AND Bluetooth options coexisting peacefully along with water resistance.
Apple is king in the US. So we are stuck with whatever they choose to give us at the prices their stockholders cheer on. Sigh.
In my very recent personal experience I'm doing well on my S22 Ultra with adaptive refresh on. I just turned resolution down to FHD+ and am having the best eye and brain comfort on that setting. I spent some time online doing shopping and Christmas shipment monitoring. But largely during the week I try to stay to about an hour looking at the screen.
Samsung uses AMOLED not OLED. I didn't think that was an actual difference except in name only. But someone on a different discussion said it is a pertinent difference. I'll try and find that post again later.
