I'm sure i saw another post somewhere but I cant find it. I came from an S23 to the S25 and since then I've been getting headaches, eyestrain among other things. Using my husbands iphone 16 pro max or my sisters A54 i don't experience this...I've tried adjusting settings etc but nothing seems to help. I love this phone but I'm worried I'll have to sell and find an alternative 😫

Hi and I am sorry to hear you have problems with your eyes because of the S25 display. Which settings have you tried to adjust? And also you can leave feedback on the Help Page to make Samsung aware of this.

I've seen a bit about this online and can add some info. With an lcd screen, the light aspect is always on, so there's a continuous stream of light. Dimming is done how an old lamp works.

With oled screens, there's no backlight to dim as the pixels shine themselves. Meaning to dim an oled screen, the screen must flash very fast. The longer it stays off for, the darker the human eye sees it as. Either for power reasons or something else, the speed the s25 displays flash at seems to be slower than devices usually use. Slower flashing means your brain had to sorta fill in more gaps. With some people, this doesn't really work and their brain kinda gets unhappy, causing a headache. It seems you're one of the maybe 0.01% who experiences issues with how the screen works.

Try setting the brightness manually and see if low or high brightness helps. In terms of actually fixing the issue, it affects so few people I doubt anything will be done.

This is from what I've seen online so have a look yourself. I'd hate to have read something wrong causing you to return your phone

The exact thing to sorta Google is "s25 pwm" as pwm is the tech that makes the screen flicker to adjust brightness

Hi! I also have sensitive eyes, and the only thing I've found to really help is using a Zagg Fusion XTR4 screen protector. Turning on Eye Comfort Shield and, in settings, Screen mode, Vivid, the second farthest left setting. Maybe try these settings, too.

That's great. I have nothing to add on my side than. Perhaps an update could fix the issue. I had this problem with phones before but after updates something improved and I was able to use the phones. I have S25U now and I never experienced problems with it, unlike when I started to use S24U for example last year. Also few years ago I tried to switch to LCD screen but that was even worse. I hope you find something that works for you.

The issue here is the PWM in the S25 is no less than any previous Samsung models.
