In general, mobile phones have an eye protection mode. When the eye protection mode is activated on the phone, the user’s first feeling is that the screen becomes yellower, the white light becomes less dazzling, and the overall screen looks softer. This is because the mobile phone increases the yellow tone through the software algorithm, reduces the blue light of the screen, and fuses the red and green light more. So the effect we see is that the screen display will turn yellow and the effect will be softer.
However, these are just software-level tunings. Any phone can be adapted with firmware upgrades. This can only relatively reduce the damage from the surface, which is not real eye protection, and won’t be verified by the rigorous German engineers from TÜV Rheinland.
So, we have to make clarifications on one issue. TÜV-certified eye protection is not a simple eye protection mode for ordinary mobile phones. This is a system-wide optimization for the whole phone. HONOR 8X got the TUV Rheinland Low-Blue Light Certificate.
HONOR 8X Eye Comfort Mode
The reason why we call the TÜV-certified eye protection for HONOR 8X a system is that the standards of TUV laboratory have been followed from the material selection at the bottom. In the selection of the screen, HONOR mobile phones will have to choose a low blue light screen that meets the standards of TÜV laboratory. In terms of hardware, HONOR 8X will have to strictly control the amount of blue light emitted by the screen.
- Eye-protection mode comparison between other and HONOR 8X:
The difference is obvious when the eye protection mode is turned on: on the HONOR 8X with TÜV-certified eye protection, the light is softer than before activation of eye protection mode, making the eyes more comfortable.
- Enable and disable eye-protection mode on HONOR8X:
In the comparison between eye-protection mode of HONOR 8X before and after activation, we can see that regardless of whether the eye protection mode is on, HONOR 8X always maintains a very natural and soft light, allowing the user to use the mobile phone as if to massage the eyes.
Well, from the above pictures, we can really feel the ultimate experience brought by TÜV-certified eye protection for HONOR 8X. But due to the photography reason, there is a little chromatic aberration. Maybe you can have an actual real handset test in the HONOR store near you. And just in case you don’t know more, below are some blue light facts.
Why is blue light bad for you?
- Eye issues: harms our vision by damaging the eye’s retina
- Sleep issues: makes you more awake and by day, less sensitive to the negative health consequences of light at night
What to do?
- Not looking at bright screens 2-3 hours prior to sleeping
- simply closing one’s eyes for a short time or gazing into the distance
- Using blue light filtering apps or devices
