DarlingYext, 28 Jul 2023"AMOLED displays also contain a TFT layer .." ... moreAlthough the debate has escalated to another level, I find fault in your basic argument that TFT is inherently bad and 'will take us to 2012'.

No all encompassing absolute statement can be made about any hardware tech without actually looking at its execution.

iphone 11 used IPS LCD
also BLU Studio X10 costing less than 1/10 used IPS LCD

Needless to say the execution of the technology was different on the two phones.

Can you make an absolute statement about IPS LCD by just looking at the cheaper phone?

Let us see how Honor executes the technology on this phone and then give the verdict.
Besides, another factor that needs to be kept in mind is that it is an affordable segment phone.

      They may contain it but they aren't it.

      It's like saying that every car is a steering wheel just because they contain one.

      This phone just straight up has a TFT display and that's where the problem is.

      TFT ≠ TFT based

          Anonymous, 28 Jul 2023TFT -> OLED -> LCD -> VA ... moreThanks GSMArena for your dumb formatting. Basically
          TFT = OLED or LCD.
          LCD = IPS or VA or TN.
          TN = low contrast and bad viewing angles but fast response time.
          Maybe your small brain can comprehend it this way.

              https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin-film_transistor

              „As of 2013, all modern high-resolution and high-quality electronic visual display devices use TFT-based active matrix displays.[22]

              AMOLED displays also contain a TFT layer for active-matrix pixel addressing of individual organic light-emitting diodes.“


                Anonymous, 28 Jul 2023I laid out the facts for you and you still don’t want to learn. Except it wasn't a fact at all, they are 2 completely different technologies.

                TFT is just a type of LCD, but worse than IPS.

                            DarlingYext, 28 Jul 2023I know. tft ≠ goodYou obviously don’t know what TFT is because TFT can be LCD or OLED so basically any display nowadays is TFT. LCD is divided into IPS, VA, TN.

                              I'd rather use a Galaxy S7 than this

                                DarlingYext, 28 Jul 2023I know. tft ≠ goodI guess things have to be seen with reference to the price perspective.
                                It can be called bad if someone else is offering a device containing other variables of this phone at a similar price AND is offering IPS, faster processor etc.

                                Otherwise, it's like someone with the money to buy iphone pro max calling every other phone 'bad'.

Or is there some other motive... moreMost people I know buy phones under €200, but I tend to advice them Motorola because those technically lack a skin (near stock) so with weaker hardware, they feel smoother than something in that price category with a skin.

                                      5200mAh is pretty useless, most of these phones last few days even on smaller batteries.
