What is Pause USB Power Delivery or Charging Bypass?
The charging bypass function is made especially for gamers. If you use your phone while connecting the charger, this feature will supply power to both the operation of the product and the battery charge.
This feature minimizes battery charging and ensures that the device receives the most power when running a game app operation that requires high specifications to reduce the impact on the product such as the battery caused by the simultaneous power supply of the game execution and battery charging.
Do note that the feature only works when you are playing a game on your phone with a charger connected. Also, it requires 20% or more battery on the device.

According to the tipster, the display crease of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 looks the same as the Galaxy Z Fold 4. It was reported that the next foldable phone will be equipped with a new droplet hinge design to vanish the crease visibility.
Meanwhile, the “100% confirmed” leak points out it’s not changing this year. However, there is a probability of changes in the real product as the company is reportedly testing the durability of the device after applying the new hinge alongside the existing U-shaped hinge.
Various Chinese phone makers adopted the waterdrop hinge technology. Oppo’s Find N2 is a smartphone with the least visible crease in the industry as per the feedback of reviewers. However, durability always remains in priority as the foldable form factor is yet to mature.
100% confirmed!

Smartphones are rapidly becoming smart and smart, thanks to technological innovations. In a recent development, a display PWM dimming comparison surfaced on the internet revealing that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is way too behind in this aspect against Honor.
Twitter user TECHINFO45 shared a video displaying the screen flickering on three flagship phones. In the video, Honor was the star of the show, leaving Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and Apple iPhone 14 Pro in the dust, when it comes to display PWM dimming.
Higher display PWM dimming frequency of Honor 90 Pro made it a clear winner over the world’s two most powerful smartphones. FYI, PWM is a technique for controlling the brightness of a display panel by varying the width of the light pulse. You control how long the screen remains on or off.
PWM dimming frequencies:
- Honor 90 Pro 3840Hz
- Galaxy S23 Ultra – 240Hz
- Apple iPhone 14 Pro – 480Hz
Lowering the brightness causes the screen to be off for longer than it is on, which is perceived as lower brightness. The higher frequencies the lower rate of stress on human eyes that’s what studies say but it doesn’t mean Samsung panels are not eye-friendly.
It’s worth mentioning that some smartphone users may find them sensitive to the display flicker effects, while some aren’t. Here’s the smartphone equipped with a display having a higher PWM dimming frequency that would do a lot better, thanks to the low rate of flickering on the panel.
Can't imagine a phone to be this good!
The Honor 90 pro is set to have no flickering issue at all!
It features a whopping 3840Hz PWM dimming screen that doesn't allow stress your eyesHere's the comparison with two more phones side-by-side
