Google’s upcoming Pixel 10 display could feature a significant upgrade that allows users to adjust the PWM dimming rate. This enhancement could be particularly beneficial for individuals who are sensitive to flickering lights. For those who have never considered PWM dimming before, it is likely that they are not affected by the potential issues caused by PWM flickering. Personally, I have not experienced any sensitivity to light unless I am already dealing with a migraine, which is a common side effect for some individuals.
However, for those who are sensitive to PWM flickering, it can lead to eye strain and headaches even with minimal use of a device that has a display with this problem. Essentially, if you are sensitive to PWM flickering, it can make it challenging to use a device that is plagued by this issue. Fortunately, it appears that Google is addressing this concern and may be implementing a solution in the upcoming Pixel 10.
While Google has not officially confirmed this detail, there have been hints that more information regarding PWM dimming adjustment is on the horizon. According to a recent report from Nick Sutrich of Android Central, Google is aware of the problem and updates regarding it may be expected later this year.
Although Google has not provided a concrete plan of action, there are several potential approaches they could take to resolve the PWM dimming issue. One possible solution could involve adding an option to reduce display flicker in the phone’s accessibility settings. Another option could be to increase the PWM rate, as some phones utilize a faster rate than others. By increasing this number, Google could potentially eliminate the problem altogether. While Google’s plans are not yet clear, the fact that they have acknowledged the issue is a positive step in the right direction.
The Pixel 10 series is anticipated to be launched later this year, with more information likely to be revealed at Google I/O next month. As such, concrete details about the Pixel 10 display may not be available until later this summer. Stay tuned for updates on how Google plans to address the PWM dimming issue in their upcoming flagship phone.
