I’m very curious about your result.
It's a mixed bag result. Overall, I can use the phone without many issues. It's definitely much nicer than the Samsungs, Pixels, and the iPhones. It doesn't trigger headaches or migraines, doesn't cause eye pain, head pressure, or other symptoms that may be usual. No significant eye strain either.
Yet, something doesn't feel right. I think it may be related to the OLED screen factor itself (i.e. the colour differences, yellow ish tones, etc.), although this screen doesn't have the yellow look of the iPhones.
Perhaps it's also just a case of getting used to the look and feel of OLED screens. I think the flicker % is still somewhat of a factor, though, in how I perceive the level of comfort/the screen feeling right.
I think OLED screens are just generally overly bright. It could also be related to me using mostly light mode, which does bring out the whites a lot. I don't like dark mode; I find the white text on black/grey background annoying to my eyes.
The phone uses a combination of DC like dimming until 47%, and PWM from 46% (2160Hz according to the website).
Here are some pictures of the flicker % across the brightness range. Overall, the % is similar to the iPhone 16/16 Plus/16e at 100%, but is lower at most below brightness settings. I think that's possibly why I find it generally more comfortable. During normal at home use, the phone seems to hover between 50% and 65% brightness, which brings the flicker % into the 6 - 9% range.
The other thing I noticed, is that I feel that I prefer the up to 5% flicker % area, and possibly prefer high frequency PWM over DC like dimming.
