So, how long were you scrolling social media last night before you actually went to sleep? 🤠As addictive as the internet can be, we know that prolonged screen exposure can mess with our eyes, making them dry and strained.
This is especially true if you’ve got an OLED screen
Most smartphones priced above RM1,000 in the market generally use OLED screens as manufacturers focus on achieving higher resolutions and refresh rates. But here’s the deal—while we enjoy the HD experience, these screens aren’t always eye-friendly.
This is because many OLED screens generally use a PWM dimming of 480Hz or a low 360Hz. PWM dimming is a capability that adjusts screen brightness by rapidly alternating between bright and dark—imagine flipping your light switch on and off many times.
The lower the frequency of this alternating cycle, the more noticeable the flickering becomes to the human eye, which can be harmful.
TLDR: Look for a smartphone with a higher PWM dimming frequency.
Here's a quick test to see if your phone screen is harming your eyes
- Lower the screen brightness
- Set the shutter speed to 1/1250s under professional mode
The more frequent, thicker, and darker the flickers are, the bigger the problem, and the more strain you'll feel in your eyes.

But let’s be real—this is probably not going to stop most of us from using our phones. Fortunately, there’s a technology that can make phone screen time easier on our eyes, and you can find it in the latest HONOR smartphone.
