The 16E is a Super Retina XRD Display and my iPad is an Ultra Retina XDR display and doesn't give me a headache. So I'll give this 16E a shot!! Nothing to lose!!!

They’ve been marketed as Super Retina XDR displays for a few generations. I have a theory this will be one of the most tolerable PWM rates, but that’s just blind speculation.

I’m curious if they’ll essentially reuse the brightness controller from iPhone 14, 15, or 16, or if the rates will be different. They probably did develop a new display for iPhone 16E as even iPhone SE at least had an updated color profile compared to iPhone 8.

Would be nice if the PWM rates are higher than the other 16s

I'd never heard of the G75 until you just mentioned it.

I appreciate its not a premium phone but it seems crazy cheap, whats the catch? (other than it not being an iphone)

....Update......
Done a bit of reading and youtube watching, it looks great. Only thing I see as a grey area is whether it supports google pay. I am so used to not carrying a wallet and money nowadays.

I haven’t found a catch yet, obviously I’d like a top of the range camera, but I can live with that given looking at the screen does not produce an adverse effect. I will cover myself by saying I haven’t been shopping to use it yet, however, it has let me enable ‘Use NFC’ and set up a default credit card for contactless payments.

It’s mid range and actually not bad at all. If we have no alternative for next year it could be a keeper for 2-3 years until someone should really bring a PWM free phone for the ultra sensitive like us. Specs are not bad at all…. I am curious if there is sth more powerful than this in the market (?)

Do you suffer eye strain and headaches using OLED displays, whether it be phones, tablets or computers?

Phones mainly but it's interesting. I have an iPad 11" that doesn't bother me but the 12.5 I got first did and had to send it back. Every phone I've tried bothered me but they didn't have the same OLED that the 16E does. I ordered a 65" Samsung TV with OLED and it killed me in 2 hours. Sent it back and got a 55", same TV just smaller and has never bothered me.

It is weird so I thought well at least this phone has the same screen and my iPad that doesn't bother me so let's give it a shot. Nothing to lose!!!

I can imagine the display being exactly the same as the iPhone 14 so another no go for me.

Sorry to hear that, it is frustrating.


Because it is rumored to be identical to the iPhone 14 screen is exactly why I am going to try the 16e. I couldn't get along with iPhone X or 12 or 13 or 15 or 16 but for some reason I've been using a 14 for a year and a half without any problem. So, even though my 14 is a great phone, I want to at least try out the 16e just because, better camera, chip, and a few other things. Will report back to the group.

Is your 11” iPad the latest generation with a super advanced OLED display?

Only the current generation 11” iPad has a cutting-edge display, as Apple used to reserve the Mini LED for the 12.9”. I have the last generation of 11” iPad Pro with an LCD display, I believe with the M2, that I’m 100% fine using.
