It appears that Honor has released a video showcasing the screen performance of its upcoming Honor 90 series, set to launch on May 29. The video compares the screen of the Honor 90 against 102 current mainstream OLED phones, highlighting the screen flickering issue commonly associated with OLED displays.
OLED panels are widely used in mid-range and flagship smartphones due to their accurate colors and picture quality. However, these screens can flicker at high frequencies, which may cause eye strain and headaches for some individuals, even though the flickering is not visible to the naked eye.
To test the flickering of all 102 phones, Honor adjusted them to a white screen and used a high-speed camera to capture the flickering. The captured images were then displayed on a smart screen for comparison. According to Honor’s test, all mobile phone screens showed varying degrees of stroboscopic flicker, with the severity depending on the dimming frequency.
However, the Honor 90 stood out in the test by demonstrating bright performance and showing no stroboscopic flicker under any visual conditions. The Honor 90 is said to be the first smartphone to feature 3840Hz ultra-high frequency PWM dimming and has also received the TÜV Rheinland flicker-free certification, reaching the zero-risk dimming level.
These advancements suggest that Honor has focused on addressing screen flickering issues with the Honor 90 series, aiming to provide a smoother and more visually comfortable experience for users.
