Samsung's OLEDs r some of the most color accurate displays out there. My OP3T with it's sRGB mode is color accurate enough for artists to use it. Most of them offer modes like those to give u accurate colors so u can't really complain about it. Also, while Pentile displays r indeed not as sharp as RGB ones, but it matters little at around 400ppi, unless u use it for VR. U can't really complain abt it not being sharp at those ppi levels.

Doesn't help when even s10/S10+ gets thrashed by a four year old Z5 premium, 2418 sppi vs 1044/1100 sppi.

            Loads of 4k video content available for VR.

Unless they heavily calibrate for it, which in turn only kills the blues even faster. This calibration is only possible at low brightness setting, due to physical limitation, hence good scores at display mate at cinema brightness, not day time brightness.

              A whopping 50% of what makes up the pentile displays are green sub pixels, red and blue only make for 25% each. The downsides thies leads too could easily be avoided by going back to RGB AMOLED, such as used on the Moto X.

              If they managed 312 ppi (936 sppi) in a RGB matrix back then, they should easily manage FHD+ in RGB matrix on the 6.4" devices today, and higher as well. Currently they have about 403 ppi (806 sppi) in todays pentile matrix on these popular 6.4" FHD+ displays. It actually has a lower density than a 2013 device, that was far from the priceyest flagship.

              Skippnig ahead to 2015 Samsung managed 577 ppi (1154 sppi) on their S6. Bumping todays FHD+ AMOLED displays from pentile to RGB would mean 1209 sppi on displays like the Mi Mix 3, Honor Magic 2, Galxy A50 etc. Having a density similar to a four year old flagship, should be too much to ask for in this (upper) mid range area these devices typically are in.

              I'm looking forward to the day when the pentile display matrix in cellphones is declared dead.

                    Whenever I see articles like this I wonder. What useful thing have they removed this time?

                    I hope to finally have system-wide call-recording on every android device! Especially when most places globally prohibit the usage of phones while e.g. driving. Call-recording is invaluable for road-warriors, service people and emergency medical staff yet most o/t current supposedly "smart-" phones can't do it! But hey, you can ask your many "assistants" what time it is and what the weather tomorrow will be! :-?

I had a ZTE Axon 7 which caused these symptoms so bad I had to stop using it and sell the phone on eBay... So yes, there is still reason to purchase IPS in 2019 aside from it being cheap.

                      I know some manufacturers (like Xiaomi and OnePlus) are looking into DC dimming as an alternative to PWM in AMOLED panels, but it seems this will not be without compromises to display quality at low brightness levels.

                      And for people who don't suffer from the effects of PWM flickering, there are still disadvantages to using AMOLED. I think the oversaturated colours on OLED panels are horrible and inaccurate. Also, the pentile pixel arrangement demonstrates an obvious lack in clarity in comparison to IPS panels of the same resolution.

                          What is the IP rating? Were is fingerprint sensor? Will this have Global bands for use in US. I am hearing a lot to like, but I think the President of Redmi is a bigger lair than CEO of Lienovo.

The newer AMOLED displays, at least the ones sourced from Samsung r reliable and doesn't go bad. I have a One Plus 3T that's over 2 years old. Still not a single issue with the screen. I have a lot of friends with OLED phones bought over last 2 years. None of them had issues bcos of OLED tech. Really, there is no reason left in 2019 to get an LCD other than it being cheaper. U really can't argue that LCD at it's best is in anyway or shape better than OLED at it's best in 2019.

AMOLED BURN occurs after 2 years of usage and some user report about having Burn-in in their smartphone after only a months of usage. The Problem about this screen is you cannot maximize the brightness because of worrying about the screen burn.
