Now I think I found the source of the issue.
Enabling the "low brightness DC dimming" option in the display setting, which is only allowed when the phone is on 60fps, solves the issue completely by simply always being darker, but then again, you must force it to be on 60 fps.
So I tried going back to the automatic refresh rate, but now I monitored the fps, and the issue became very clear.
Whenever the fps drops to 60 the DC dimming is probably enabled automatically, even when disabled manually on the settings, causing the screen to become darker whenever it switches between 60 and other refresh rates, since this feature is not supported on higher ones.

Look at the color of the keyboard and notification panel when the fps switches from 90 to 60 and vice versa, note that it is more visible than it looks on the video

But doesn't change the fact that the devs either didn't understand the problem or don't care. I would accept the statement that they are not allowed to, even if I wouldn't be happy with it. But to say it's a "normal reaction", even though it could be fixed, is unacceptable.
Edit: a simple alternative would be an auto mode which switches between 120Hz and 60Hz instead of 90Hz and 60Hz

clavoThat did exist on the Rog5 and the outrage is quite massive. People were complaining that the 90hz mode was gone.I realize that Mattias is not a dev. My answer was absolutely not directed against him, just to sort that out.

As for the statement, I simply mentioned it since many believe that the mods are somehow the devs. As for normal reaction, I'm not entirely sure what you mean with that. As stated tho, whatever the case may be the likelyhood of recalibrated 90hz mode is extremely slim.

"Because the screen flashes rate supported by each APP and interface is different, this is a normal reaction that the naked eye may see when switching"
I can also well do without the 90Hz mode. However, I would like to have a properly functioning auto mode. As mentioned before, switching between 120Hz and 60Hz would fix the problem.

clavoAhh sorry, also it isnt the devs response but the people in between the devs and the commuity team. Maybe there is a dev that will pick it up like I did on the Rog3.https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/comment/226927#Comment_226927
