So just a quick follow-up, I received my third Oasis, and I’m quite sad to say it also has an uneven screen lighting. The left-right gradient itself is maybe a tad less visible than on the 2nd one I received, however the whitish spots on the side where the buttons are are more obvious (I attach a picture for those who wonder what I mean, it’s quite visible on the top-right corner but it really covers the whole right side).
Incidentally I also bought this used Voyage I previously mentioned. The screen itself is definitely better on the Voyage, there is no comparison in terms of contrast and the colour of the screen when the brightness is off. The lighting gradient however is much worse on the Voyage, although I would argue it’s less annoying as it’s top to bottom instead of left-right. I don’t like the tactile buttons on it though, they are not positioned where my hand naturally hold the device. Overall the Oasis still wins because of its bigger screen and better form factor.
So all in all I decided to keep the 2nd Oasis, and will probably juggle between that one and the Voyage. But honestly the gradient is bothersome and I might send it back as well; but I’m not getting a 4th one for sure. I guess I’m just too picky and just can’t be satisfied with the current state of this technology.
Thanks all for your advice!
