            Samsung's been top in screens for some time now. Too bad that their software and rest of hardware s*ck.

            I expect mi mix 2 to *kill* this phone same as mix mix 1 killed note 7 (in battery life, responsiveness, support, screen to body ratio, etc).

              "AMOLED is a display technology used in portable devices like mobile phones. Active-matrix OLED displays provide the same performance as their passive-matrix OLED counterparts, but they consume significantly less power.

              This advantage makes active-matrix OLEDs well suited for portable electronics where battery power consumption is critical."

                Had Samsung Amoled devices for quite a few years now. Galaxy S1, S3, S4 S6Edge and now S8 and have NEVER had any issue with the screens. They have all without exception been outstanding.

                You sure you work in a phone shop?

Oleds have far too many disadvantages to be considered perfect..

                                    DisplayMate always say this nonsense when the lastes Samsung flagship releases. They're just a fraud, scam site with paid reviews. In fact, Samsung's AMOLED is worse than IPS LCD.

                                    They're like DxOMark who give more points for the phones with worse camera.
