Top smartphones for those whose eyes hurt from PWM up to 20,000

For every taste

Modern smartphones are constantly chasing numbers – this can be seen on the screens, resolution and refresh rates are increasing. This is great for watching videos and playing games, but they don’t always pay attention to PWM. If you notice that your eyes quickly get tired and hurt when using a smartphone, this top is for you.

We have collected the best models that do not strain your eyesight thanks to the manufacturer’s attention to the PWM frequency, where the ripple does not exceed 20 percent. In this top, we have presented smartphones for different categories of people to choose from – in the TOP there is a gaming smartphone to choose from, a smartphone with moisture protection, optimally balanced, and a smartphone that is primarily captivating with its design.

Choose the smartphone that best suits your needs – all of these smartphones from this TOP have no problems with PWM!

Nothing Phone (1)

Nothing Phone (1) is the debut smartphone from Nothing, a company founded by Carl Pei. It features a futuristic design with a transparent back and Glyph panel. It also uses a fast Snapdragon 778G+ processor, a 50 MP dual camera, and a 6.55″ 120 Hz OLED screen.

Nothing Phone (1) offers a real refresh from the usual smartphones with its extraordinary design and Glyph lighting effects. All important functions for comfortable use on board – a fast processor, although not the most powerful among its competitors, but it is fully sufficient for all tasks, a high-quality camera and a good screen. An interesting smartphone for those tired of the monotonous smartphones of the BBK and Xiaomi holdings.

Regarding PWM – everything is just fine here – more than 10% only at brightness + -15%, in all other cases even less – 10% or lower.

Moto Edge 40

Moto Edge 40 is a good budget smartphone with a 6.7″ 144 Hz OLED display, a fast Dimensity 8020 processor and a 50 MP dual camera. It has a stylish design, Moto Experiences and pure Android.

Moto Edge 40 has one of the best displays in this price segment – 6.7″ OLED 144 Hz and IP68 water resistance. Added to this is a stylish design, almost pure Android with additional Moto Experiences features.

There are no problems with PWM here either – up to 15% brightness the maximum indicator is only 6%, and only from 15% to zero the PWM rises to 15%, which is already an excellent indicator.

Poco F5

The Poco F5 is a powerful smartphone with a Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 processor, a 6.7″ 120Hz display, and 67W fast charging, but the camera is disappointing – the OmniVision module with a 1/2 size in 2023 looks very outdated.

Poco F5 has everything you need for comfortable use – an excellent screen, powerful hardware, fast charging. At the same time, its price is significantly lower than that of its competitors. If you are looking for a high-quality smartphone without extra costs, the Poco F5 is ideal.

By the way, with PWM this is one of the best situations – the maximum indicator is only 10%, and even then, at zero brightness, the rest of the time the average PWM indicator will be only 7%. However, through average cameras, someone can take not it, but, for example, the next smartphone

Realme GT Neo 3

Realme GT Neo 3 stands out for its 150 W fast charging, Dimensity 8100 processor, 120 Hz display and dual camera led by the already legendary module – Sony IMX 766 and a very balanced smartphone for its money.

Charging at 150 W makes the GT Neo 3 the undisputed leader in this regard. This is accompanied by a powerful Dimensity 8100, a high-quality AMOLED display and all the necessary functions. And the affordable price makes it even more attractive. An ideal choice for lovers of speed and power.

Regarding PWM, the situation here is not as ideal as that of competitors from this top – it is here from 10 to 20% depending on the brightness, although it is still at a decent level compared to other smartphones, but technically it is the best of all these smartphones.

Realme 11 Pro Plus

Realme 11 Pro+ has a 6.7″ cool 120Hz Super AMOLED screen, fast Dimensity 1080 processor, 108MP dual camera and an ex-Gucci collaboration design that can attract people’s attention. It offers excellent value for money.

With the Realme 11 Pro+, you get a stylish curved display, a good camera, and good performance at a reasonable price. Its stylish design and compact size are another plus. And if you don’t need such an elegant design, we recommend taking a look at Realme 10 Pro Plus – it has almost everything the same, but it costs less and also does not have problems with PWM.

Well, according to the “tradition” of this top – there are also no problems with PWM – up to 15% there will be no PWM above 10%, and only at 15% the PWM level rises to 18% and drops slightly at zero to 14%, but that’s all the same very low market performance.

Smartphone bonus

Honor 90

Honor 90 is a stylish flagship with a sleek design, a powerful Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, a 6.67″ OLED 120Hz screen and a 200 MP camera. It offers a good combination of features and aesthetics. However, it has just returned to the Ukrainian market, so the price today is a little higher – 22,999 UAH, but very soon this smartphone will drop in price to a maximum price of 20,000 UAH, so I think it would be wrong not to talk about this smartphone.

Honor 90 has a premium look with glass panels and original body texture. The 6.67-inch 120Hz OLED screen delivers vibrant colors and smooth images. The 108 MP triple camera takes detailed photos. There is a powerful Snapdragon 778G+, fast 66 W charging and 5G. This is a harmonious combination of capabilities and design.

In general, this is a balanced and modern junior flagship with an attractive design, high-quality display, powerful camera and other features.

There are also no problems with PWM – up to 25% brightness, even 10% PWM is not achieved by the device, so I can safely recommend this device, because it has almost everything – except stereo sound, unfortunately, there are no ideal smartphones in the average price budget, however There are smartphones that are the best in one way or another.
