Xiaomi Mi A3 is an under 15k price segment smartphone, but it features an AMOLED display. The AMOLED display has many benefits, as well as a few downsides. It is brighter than the LCD and uses less power, but it is prone to screen flickering and screen burn-in.
Screen flickering on AMOLED display is visible at a low screen brightness level, which can cause eyestrain when using the phone for a long time. DC Dimming is the simple solution to stop this issue, but it isn’t available in budget smartphones, like Xiaomi Mi A3. However, there is an unofficial method to bring a similar feature on the phone.
You can get DC Dimming like function on your Mi A3 with a free app dubbed OLED Saver. DC Dimming feature can reduce the visual fatigue caused by the screen flickering. Here is how you can get it in your Xiaomi Mi A3.
