TCL display is supposed to be great but both hardware (low end processor, poor cameras) and software (stability issues, very low frequency of updates) are reportedly lacking. That makes me very unexcited about owning one despite the display.
See my previous posts.
Processor runs fine, no issues.
Camera update from my iphone 11 is night and day, no complaints.
Updates dont matter to me, I finally have an upto date phone with 5G, supported apps (my banking app stopped on IOS 16)
And its £300, unreal really
i bought an brand new TCL 60 XE from market place about month ago. I find the screen very easy on the eyes initially, but not that great later on. May be they change something with update. Originally my dad was using the phone, so i decided to do factory reset and use it myself. After factory reset, now the phone doesn't detect sim card and doesn't show IMEI number in phone status. I reached out to TCL as phone should be under warranty, since I don't have any official receipt they refused to help. Phone is brick after one month of use. I will personally stay away from MediaTek chip, phone was bit slow. Now its restart itself once a while, while we try to use only on Wi-Fi. I am back to 6 years old iPhone 11, that still does the job. I wanted to try Motorola Power, but the MediaTek chip is making me hold on due to bad experience with TCL.
That phone still uses some form of PWM/TD.
The 60 Ultra is the only phone they claim to be free of these.
Sorry for the flex. If anyone interested air is holding great. I sold my 11. I upgraded my watch to ultra and my AirPods to the ANC version because Apple wants us to pay extra if we also want wireless charging which base AirPods 4 don’t support. Typical cash grab Apple move right there. Nevertheless everything is going just fine. And the ESR 25W 3-1 rocks!

Interesting. Are they easily available in other countries and would those work in the US? Wondering if it makes sense to inconvenience a friend traveling to Asia.
After two months with the iPhone 17 Pro Max,
I still have no problems. It works perfectly. I'm still thrilled.

My iPhone 8 Plus didn't bother me for 1 year - then something happened with a software update and I couldn't use it anymore. Would instantly trigger erratic heartbeats.
I also bought an iPhone 17 Pro. I have no problems with it either.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max has a GH3 LG Panel, and the iPhone 17 Pro has a GN9 Samsung Panel.
Therefore, the PWM switch clearly seems to be having an effect for me, since I can tolerate both models.

Are some models worse than others this year. Is the base 17 and Pro Max more likely to have a problematic screen?
A few users on this thread commented that the Slim bothered them the least
I think it’s most likely related to the way PWM flicker can trigger stress responses in the central nervous system.
I bought my NXTPAPER 60 ULTRA from Italian Amazon and shipped to the UK.
You can't say for sure. Everyone experiences it differently.
I have an LG and a Samsung display here, and neither gives me any problems.
For me, the PWM switch solved all my problems, and I can finally use any iPhone 17.😍
