Just want to double confirm right, Xiaomi 15 has many Reddit user who complain there is eye strain issues and temporal dithering. So far you are the one who don't face this issue. Of course I know there are a lot of variable like 20-20-20 rule, the settings, type of screen protector. However the I want to eliminate possibility of Xiaomi 15 giving me problems. That is why I'm trying to figure out first. I don't have a budget. Most likely I will go to the shop and try it. However more shop doesn't have F7 ultra for me to try it.

I am just looking for the best.
Currently for my mum I have already pick Xiaomi 14t pro, will use k70 ultra variant as an accessory as well.

Also since you say the rest is not as good as xiaomi 13, I am thinking of recycling this and giving to my mother instead. However I will do a battery replacement and root and jailbreak. Like this it will save my time and trouble to buy two phone at once. However my current battery life is only at 85%. This statistic I can only go to the xiaomi shop and they can give me.
no idea, and no way for someone else to confirm one. which is why i said better to see in person to decide, because different ppl might be sensitive to different things. some are to temporal dithering, some to low frequency PWM, some to high frequency dimming, some to excessive blue light, some to displays that are too bright in low light, some maybe just have dry eyes, etc. only way to know for sure is to test for yourself, and try out as many phones as you can.

I've not tried using xiaomi 15 specifically, but i have used their Redmi K80 with all brightness DC-like dimming, and it one of the least problematic OLED screens I've used aside from some older OLEDs that support DC dimming as well. I've used a few other phones that does DC-like dimming at higher brightness and all those gave me almost no issues too when in Dc-like dimming mode. Which is why for me it's a safer bet that it might work, but still can't say 100% will work. About temporal dithering, it's usually on LCD screen trying to look more saturated, so I'm not sure where the claim regarding xiaomi 15 using temporal dithering comes from since most OLED screen already are already a lot more saturated to begin with. I think there is a chance that it might be because it's LTPO rather than LTPS which usually is easier to achieve lesser eyestrain? Like I have personally experience iPhone SE 2022 getting a new major software update and suddenly the LCD screen causes me eyestrain, likely caused by apple trying to make the colours more vibrant using temporal dithering, but i just dont think they even have a need to do temporal dithering on a modern OLED screen these days.

I've been testing and trying different phones, different solutions, watching a ton of reviews and phone review on bilibili specific to eyestrain, and what i've come to realised is that the only way to know for sure is to try for yourself unfortunately. Again, there is no way for anyone else to confirm for you whether a screen will trigger whatever you're sensitive to or not. Like I've seen multiple ppl saying they have issues about the Redmi K80's screen regarding to eyestrain on bilibili, but i myself am okay with it, along with a bunch of other ppl saying they're okay with it. I've seen ppl saying a particular phone is good, and rating it highly for having less eyestrain, but i try it and it hurts my eyes really badly. lol. Knowing exactly what type of thing triggers your eyestrain can help to narrow down your options of course, but there are factors that are even out of our control. like a lot of brands uses mixed suppliers for their screens, and sometimes one supplier might be better than another. lol. If your eyes are really sensitive, can only say good luck liao :ROFLMAO:

I really understand what you say. Actually no need to overemphasize, I understand that a lot of variable and there is a need to try and test ourself first. So I'm looking at the variables now, combine with user feedback and what they advertise

To keep things simple, everyone's eyes react differently to pwm/dc dimming.

For me, dc dimming is very comfortable. When I return back to a phone with pwm dimming, there is this sharp feeling in my eyes.

However, @Alexz_Hong mention he feels eye strain even on dc dimming on low brightness think i don't encounter any.

There are XM15 phone demo at Challengers, Xiaomi Store and other electronic stores. Make a trip down and start molesting the phone will be a better way instead of asking feedback here. There can be people that say they do not have eyestrain looking at the screen, then when you bought the phone, reached home and realise you got eyestrain :s22: that will be worst.

To prevent you from wasting unnecessary money lost from buying and selling, just visit nearby electronic stores and experience it ba.

Period.

Thank you for the concern, however as you can see I'm already trying my best to look for this phone to try it out first.

By the way right I found Xiaomi 15 256 price new set at 908 and Xiaomi 14 pro+ at 488.

yeah. even extreme low brightness still might have some eyestrain after using for a while, but at least is not the immediately need to look away type. but ah, even look in stores also bo bao one. Some phones maybe at high brightness okay, then low brightness then will have eyestrain. in stores very hard to test low brightness because the lighting in store is very bright. so best is still to actually buy and use the phone in daily life. but too bad SG don't have those ”7天无理由“ return policy like in CN.

I think i had this update last week or even earlier on my sg set...

SG set but you set your region to SG? Then agian I won't be surprised if it is a staggered rollout. There was another user who didn't get the update earlier too.

Anyone after the latest update the camera mode kept defaulting back to Photo instead of staying at the desired mode you last set?

Irritating much. Lol

@RyanJ u gonna try this with the 17mm mount?

NEEWER Black Case for Xiaomi 15 Ultra, with 17mm Lens Mounts & 67mm Filter Adapter, PA101 | https://s.lazada.sg/s.X6GPd

20287-c636f28df813b9f1bb727f6c03db6139.jpg

17mm and 67mm filter thread sounds good, I have some reservations a telephoto attachment over a full 23mm 1 inch sensor can work without vignetting but if can make a good quality ultrawide attachment over 1 inch would be really fantastic! ( XM 15 Ultra 14mm sensor is rather poorly resolving )

The Neewer 18mm ultrawide attachment is $60 bucks! :crazy:
The Ulanzi 16mm ultrawide attachment can do 0.5x magnification claims to be using 17mm thread not sure if compatible.

Anyone after the latest update the camera mode kept defaulting back to Photo instead of staying at the desired mode you last set?

Irritating much. Lol

Mine is ok, still remembers the last focal length used on Pro mode as well.
