Brand Oppo has launched recently OPPO Find X8 Series of smartphones. According to Oppo, they are increasingly addressing health concerns alongside traditional priorities like productivity and entertainment. OPPO devices feature adaptive colour temperature adjustments based on environmental lighting. This means that the screen’s colour tone changes to match the surrounding light, ensuring that there is no stark contrast that could lead to visual discomfort.
If you experience headaches, eye strain, or even dizziness after using your smartphone, you probably suffer from Digital Eye Strain (DES). Children, in particular, are gravely affected, as their developing eyes are more vulnerable to brightly-lit (blue light) screens and screen flicker. According to industry reports, this risk is also found to be high among pregnant women and individuals prone to epilepsy. Adding to the concern is asthenopia, or eye fatigue, characterised by aching eyes, difficulty focusing, and sensitivity to light.
Low-frequency Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) in traditional smartphones—typically below 200Hz or even less than 500Hz—exacerbates these symptoms, with invisible flicker triggering migraines and, in severe cases, seizures. As screen time increases, so does the risk of DES, threatening eyesight and overall well-being for both children and adults. This is why it’s important to have a smartphone with high frequency PWM, as it significantly reduces flicker and minimizes eye strain, ensuring a more comfortable viewing experience.
To address these problems, the OPPO Find X8 features 2,160Hz high-frequency Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), significantly reducing screen flicker in low-brightness settings for a more eye-friendly experience. By minimising flicker, it helps mitigate eye strain, fatigue, and discomfort for sensitive users like children and pregnant women, ensuring visual comfort even during extended use. Research shows that displays with high frequencies, like 2,160Hz, are far more comfortable for people prone to headaches or migraines compared to traditional low-PWM displays.
The OPPO Find X8 is certified by TUV Rheinland Eye Comfort 4.0, meeting the stringent standards of the Rheinland laboratory. It is designed to reduce blue light emissions and screen flicker, known contributors to eye strain and potential long-term vision problems.
“Here at OPPO, our vision is that technology should benefit mankind. We know it’s a long journey with constant fine-tuning. By integrating advanced features like high-frequency PWM dimming at 2160Hz in the OPPO Find X8 Series, we are improving performance, enhancing user well-being, reducing eye strain, and making the digital experience more comfortable” said Peter Dohyung Lee, Head of Product Strategy at OPPO.
