The comparison of cellphone LCD versus OLED is very much akin to the old comparisons of television LCD/LED versus Plasma. And of course OLED is now on TVs (Plasma RIP).
OLED (and Plasma) technology is a warmer, natural, pleasant, easy on your eyes technology. LCD on most displays feels like looking at fluorescent light, very blue and artificial, it makes your eyes strain more. Granted the newer iPhones look pretty good.
Whether OLED or LCD is more accurate is "in the eyes of the beholder". Both can be really good or bad. It's best to tweak the settings for yourself if that's an option. A top LCD and OLED may be mostly equal in accuracy, except if the user prefers darker blacks, and warmer colors obviously.
On a side note, the "night mode" settings on newer iPhones and iPads helps a lot. You can make the tones a bit warmer to your liking. Just schedule "night mode" to always stay on and dial back the slider.

Until the AMOLED technology is perfect (no uneven RBG LED degrade, no burn in) and 100% fixed I'll stay away from them.

Vegetaholic, 13 Aug 2017Another "who doesn't know nothing" commenter. Fake colours ... moreActually, LED has longer durability as compared to AMOLED.
Additional point is on your "only low phones will have it" comment doesn't align with the reality of LED cost vs. AMOLED cost. LED cost for manufacturing is higher than AMOLED, so a phone maker would keep costs down by using AMOLED.

AMOLED is the preferred technology for Manufacturers because it's cheaper. Don't buy AMOLED if you plan to keep your phone for a long time. Why?
One downside of AMOLED is that different color LEDs have different life spans, meaning that the individual RBG light components eventually degrade at slightly different rates. Another is the burn-in phenomenon, OLED display color balance can drift very slightly over time.
Not a problem with LED’s as the single backlight means that color balance remains more consistent.

regs, 14 Aug 2017Majority are fine enough with TN. Marketing does its job. M... moreIt's AMOLED all the way for me - efficient in power consumption, brighter, view angles are the most excellent, and you can always tune the saturation with the modes.
My almost 4 years Note 3 has NO burn-ins because it's set to auto-bright. I know someone who has burn-ins because the screen is set to the brightest ALL THE TIME.
LCDs are good, but the power consumption is greater, and less true black replication because of ambient side lighting. I'm so glad Apple is finally switching to OLED screens, and I'll be buying if their Apple Pencil will be integrated onto their Plus models.

Majority are fine enough with TN. Marketing does its job. Most wouldn't even notice poor TN-like AMOLED viewing angles.

The issues with the G4 and G5 display to me was not in quality but lack of user definable modes and limiting brightness. And brightness throttling.
And the fact that they straight up lied about increases in brightness and other areas.
But the display itself was very nice.

Both technologies have their advantages. We'll probably never see a flexible LCD, nor a long-lasting OLED in RGB, and, on an unrelated note, a CRT smartphone. OLED is improving, but at the status it was(and is) in my opinion is too early to implement. OLED does retain images for long periods of time; this can be fixed, but the screen will be dimmer. LCD is also capable of image retention, and may even be worse than OLED. I like both LCD and OLED(haven't heard of Quantum Dot).

Anonymous, 13 Aug 2017better than useless 4k lcd which doesnt support daydreamThe useless 4K LCD lets you watch 4K video on it.
Also can reach 6500K by using RGB settings.
S8 is 6700K.
Best oled of Samsung has 142% sRGB. The useless LCD is already able to reach 138%.
Sony can do better than Samsung
