Hello

I have a fairphone 5, and can’t use it anymore because I am screen sensitive, so I am looking for a new smartphone and the brax3 could be the one.  
But I need to know more information about if it’s flicker free or not. Does it have no PWM ? And no temporal dithering ? Any information about that is welcome

Thanks

PWM and temporal dithering are separate issues, so it’s worth asking Brax directly about both rather than treating “flicker-free” as one spec. For PWM, ask whether the panel uses DC dimming or high-frequency PWM at low brightness; for temporal dithering, ask whether the display driver uses FRC and at what bit depth. Without a confirmed panel/driver spec, a high-speed camera or oscilloscope test at several brightness levels is more informative than marketing claims. I don’t have confirmed BraX3 measurements, so I’d treat any answer without that detail as inconclusive.

I observe with Adaptive brightness ON, the screen brightness does not shift smoothly, but rather in small jumps at 3 ~ 5 seconds as the phone is moved around. It’s not a dealbreaker for me, just different from other Chinese brand name phones I have owned.

Yup-I can’t stand the adaptive brightness I have seen on any phone. I turn it off!
