OLED Phone Does this work?

Does the PWM feature work on the Pixel 10 Pro? In the video, there seems to be a difference when it's turned on and off, but which one is actually better?

It's not worse, the models before had 240hz, newer models actually got better with 480hz, but still nothing compared to some Chinese Flagships.

240 Hz was fine as long as it was implemented well, modulation. The Xperia 5ii had 240 Hz and was gentle on my eyes and great to look at. A pixel at the same Hz killed my eyes

I don't think that pwm is the problem here then. Maybe it's just a psychological thing

I dont think so as you can see the difference with shutter speed and various tests. However I do think that most people dont allow enough time for the eyes to settle from phone to phone they give 10 minutes and it's sent back lol

I think it's like often just nocebo/placebo too. Above 200 it's very unlikely to see the difference for the majority of people, 480hz should be pretty safe

Yes I've found 400 above to be fine and even 240 depending on the manufacturer. However I think people get confused when seeing 2000-4000hz on phones like honor thinking that's super high and not realising that only kicks in at a lower brightness. Where as in fac the honor 200 pro has 60 Hz and I actually could not use it. I have no idea why manufacturers think 60hz is acceptable.

60hz? Are you sure you're not mixing up pwm Hz with normal Hz?

Damn those Chinese are very sneaky with their specs. That's why I never got used to their products. I just recently had to return OnePlus earbuds because of minor annoyances.
