Does it have some sort of film grain effect? So when you get on a white background, the flickering is less noticeable right? Only when it has a lot of colors it flickers a lot?

When did this start happening and do you know why it started happening?

This may be a dumb question but have you tried turning your phone off and on or adjust the brightness from lowest to brightest to see from what % it affected on?

I upload a Video of the problem these days. That flickering startet a few months very slightly a the edges of picture and evolved more and more.

Sure i restart my phone, i even disconnect the battery and plugged in again.

Adjusting the Brightness change something yes but that it will be better then... no...

Hi, Does it flicker if you connect the charger and have it switched on? If it doesn't it may be that the battery is failing. If it still does it could be the LCD screen or the LCD screen cable connection.

Nope the charger doesnt change a thing.

I already checked the connection at the backside. All are clean and correct plugin except of the battery. Is it normal that Battery is glued to the backplate? So i can't plug this cable into the board by hand

You just need a new LCD. I see the behavior a lot with various displays when they are damaged. below is a link to the part on the frame, just verify the model number I think there are some variations with the Z3 line.

Here is a video of a tear down. You just need to gut the frame and then place it back into the new one. The back cover is a bit of a pain. Depending on how you pull it up you can sometimes reuse the adhesive that was on it. Just be sure not to pull crack it during removal.
