I don't really care, if it has great battery life and always on display, it's good enough for me.

I was wondering that no more companies in India are interested to grab mobile market with low budget segment except Redmi.
I am really feeling fed up with redmi. That they are only who want to make evolution in Indian technology

Sathish, 17 Mar 2018You were so wrong on display prices of a smartphone. Usuall... morethat's the replacement screen cost, for them the cost is much much less (low-midrange J series from samsung,a oled maker, has OLED, for example), but it's not 2 dollars either, maybe 20-40 depending on size and quality? (HDR+/4k excluded)

Coupled with a small battery, this device is surely DOA. LG, ring HTC, collaborate on some devices.

Still rocking my LG G5 since 2016. It's LCD screen are the best among the isheep retina displays and Scamsung OLED displays( WHICH MADE MY EYES GONE SHORT SIGHTED). And u know why I love LCD display, it's because they don't have burn-in display issue, not what u see on the other OLED screen right???

LCD on a notch phone ?
bad idea this way you can't turn it off to save battery
one question how do you do the "allways on display" with an LCD screen ?
another thing if battery consumption is higher than what is the use of it ?

How very convenient that it is a 'cost cutting measure' and all talk of a '800 nit' display has vanished.

Usually display is the most costliest component of a smartphone. It is neither SOC nor camera modules or anything else costs more than display. So the difference between LED and OLED is high, it can't be 2-4$ difference.. It is 80-120$ for OLED display unit alone, then let LEDs can be between half of them.
