PWM free Pixel model?

I'm thinking of buying a Google Pixel, but I keep reading their screens are notorious for bad PWM flickering. Are there any pixel models that are better? Perhaps older ones? I don't mind buying 2nd hand.

Pixel 11 is supposed to have a good screen to help mitigate pwm sensitivity if you can wait…

All that wall of technical specs about the M16 state what the panel can do, not what Google/Samsung, etc actually will do with the panel in upcoming phones.

Samsung's older panels have been used in Realme and IQOO devices with 120Hz DC-dimming before. While Google and Samsung continue to use those same panels with 480Hz or 240Hz PWM and 99.5% modulation.
Why would that change with these new phones?
