Has PWM been addressed on the S21 series?

I cannot use any OLED iphone since the launch of the X and Samsung supply the displays. Looking at an OLED phone with PWM and I can feel the muscles in my eyes start to ache which results in a migraine. The new iphone 12 models all make my eyes water and give me a multiple day headache. I've been unable to upgrade to any flagship phone for over 4yrs as I am clearly PWM sensitive.

 

I've read on notebookcheck that the S20 FE 5G stops flickering above 30% brightness and maintains 120hz which is still not a high rate but a sign Samsung are aware of the issue.

 

Question is = have they fixed/addressed this on the new S21 range?

At the moment I'm using an S9 w blue filter on and brightness at around 80%. So far its been OK but my eyes do strain a little after 2hrs of use.  Waiting for S22

Thanks! I checked that out and basically none of the Samsung's are above 250 except for the cheap crappy ones, or ones that aren't on my carrier (Verizon)... I did notice the S21 Ultra and even the Note 10+ was at 250, might be worth a shot I guess, but lots of money to do that unfortunately!

 

Thank you for the help tho!

My advice is when at night always use your phone in a well lit room, don't use it in the dark for long periods of time.
