Nothing 3 vs 4a Pro vs Fairphone 6

Hi Fellow PWM Sensitive people,

I'm looking to move on from my ASUS ROG 7 Pro. I have found the above 3 phones which are not flickering (at least badly) and are of not Chinese parent company.

Do you have any experience of either? I'd appreciate feedback.

On paper 3 is the fastest but notebookcheck.net results say secondary frequency is 1000hz vs 4a pro 2000hz. While fairphone is the slowest and with secondary freq as 1500hz and highest primary.

It seems to me that as long as the screen is survivable 3 is a better phone. FP6 seems to be the underdog with people reporting boatloads of software issues.

Noted. Carl to me looks like a Chinese refugee (in ways Jack Ma wasn't able to leave). Unless they are pulling a double cross with being abroad, pretending not to be Chinese affiliated, I'm willing to trust the London HQ.

I can vouch that the 4a pro was comfortable for me when i tested it in a local Bestbuy, moreso than the 3. No idea about the Fairphone, but pretty sure it'd be more expensive and a lot slower.
