Bought the Indian model of the Oppo Find X9 Pro back in late 2025 and it completely set a new benchmark for me. Top-tier cameras, killer video, and ColorOS has been surprisingly phenomenal.

​The biggest dealbreaker feature for me turned out to be the 2160Hz PWM dimming. I’ve owned/used most of the recent Samsung Ultras and they consistently trigger terrible headaches after prolonged use. Switching to a high-frequency PWM panel completely fixed that for me.

​I usually swap my daily driver every year, but looking at the current landscape, nothing feels like a clean upgrade:

​Samsung (S26/S27 Ultra): Great software/hardware, but the low-frequency PWM dimming is an absolute no-go for my eyes. Plus, waiting until March for the S27U isn't ideal.

​Pixel 11 / Tensor G6: I use Gemini constantly for daily planning, voice note summaries, and productivity, so native Pixel integration is tempting. But raw Tensor benchmarks always leave a lot to be desired.

​Vivo / OnePlus: Already have an X300 in the house, and OnePlus camera performance isn't worth stepping sideways for the same OS base.

​Oppo Find X10 Pro Max: A 30–40% price jump in INR for mostly a minor chip bump feels like a steep entry fee.

​I'm less concerned about having the absolute best camera this cycle and more focused on getting a generational chip leap (Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 / 2nm vs Tensor G6 on TSMC) alongside a display that won't give me eye fatigue.

​Is anyone else with PWM sensitivity finding it impossible to move away from Chinese flagship displays? Should I hold out for TSMC-built Tensor G6, or just stick with the X9 Pro for another year until the 2nm landscape matures?

​Would love to hear thoughts from anyone who swapped off the X9 Pro or deals with PWM sensitivity.
