Expecting IGZO's performance at X3's pricepoint and standard IPS display is just not possible. You have to adjust your expectations somehow. Well, it's not that hard to search in Youtube from actual gamers themselves whether the ghosting is a big deal or not. It's actually more on the nitpicking side when they highlighted that, even on their writing they acknowledge that it can happen on IPS panels and it's a fact. In the end, you're not locked to 120Hz all the time so that ghosting part is just nitpicking.

    OLEDs are just way faster than IPS LCDS in response times whether its a measure of Black to White or Grey to Grey. Notebookcheck has much more detailed hardware review when you're into that kind of articles but they're kind of slow in releasing smartphone reviews unfortunately.

      i have decided to push through with the order anyway, albeit the issues. turns out the ghosting per new reviews is negligible. it is to be delivered by tomorrow or the following day. i definitely will post a new comment once i get my hands on it.

        DroidBoye, 16 Sep 2020Wow, you had a good deal. I just bought mine at 11,990Php f... morei used a PHP1K voucher code that xiaomi gave me when i bought the poco x2 several months ago. it was the same price as you got it for.

        i had both the razer phone 1 and 2, which had IGZO IPS 120Hz LCD but did not have this ghosting issue. OLEDs actually are slower until recently, that's why they were late jumping into the fast refresh rate. see, individual LEDs often retain the light's glow even after power is cut off, so OLEDs are actually more prone to ghosting.

            I have Sony 1000xm3 and if this phone doesn't have high end audio codecs it's pointless to have good pair of Bluetooth headphones.

              MrMing, 17 Sep 2020One more. Viewing angles on a OLED are usually better than ... moreAgain, it's better, but IPS screens are still PERFECTLY FINE.
              My Sony Bravia TV has fantastic viewing angles, remaining high quality even at the extremes, and definitely about as good as an OLED screen in terms of image quality, but AT A MUCH LOWER PRICE.
              Why thrive so much for brightness when all you really need is a visible screen outdoor, which pretty much all IPS screens can easily achieve? If you're after for brightness, Sony has the successor to Z9D, which can go as high as up to 10,000 nits, and guess what? It's an IPS LCD panel!
              OLEDs can't even go beyond 2000 nits, while IPS screens can shine up to that level without consuming too much power, especially with whites.

                Driftit, 16 Sep 2020Can't believe people are getting excited over this. T... moreThen don't. Nobody's forcing you to get this.
                Go buy that OLED screen with burn in all you want. Not everyone needs the deepest of blacks or the highest contrast in this world.

                  Arebx, 16 Sep 2020Facts , these people don't understand that even in 400... moreThey would find faults even in the smallest of things.

                    Anonymous, 16 Sep 2020oled is better than ips. that is why 90percent of flagships... moreIf they were that good enough, then I wanna see gaming laptops and PCs use them as a standard for their screens.

                      Shanti Dope, 16 Sep 2020IPS LCDs can shine brighter and be more power efficient at ... moreOne more. Viewing angles on a OLED are usually better than IPS LCD. Again, this is why sometimes a IPS LCD panel suffers in bright lighting. Some laptop/monitor makers can mitigate this with matte displays, but this decreases the effective brightness. Apple uses nano-coated displays for some of their monitors (iMac/iMac Pro), still reduces brightness a bit.

                        Upon further investigation, this phone does not support either LDAC or AptX-HD BT CODEC protocols, so if you use a halfway decent external BT DAC, or any headphones that support those HIFI Bluetooth standards, you are out of luck.

                        For me and for anyone else that wants a high quality wireless audio experience, this is a deal breaker.

                        My old Poco F1 does support both of these CODECs however, so I guess I'll not be upgrading to this new X3 model any time soon. I'll hold out for the Poco F3 I suppose and hope that they get it right this time.

                          Lost the AR Core

                            Can't believe people are getting excited over this. This is the sort of phone you buy your elderly parents.
                            I wouldn't want to stare at that cheap screen all day. Especially once the refresh rate is turned down to reach that battery rating.

                              Anonymous, 16 Sep 2020oled is better than ips. that is why 90percent of flagships... moreThat's a perception but not necessarily true. If you Google ips or tft LCD v OLED or AMOLED, you'll see a list of pros and cons. You can't just say that one is factually just better. It's not as simplistic as that. Cost or value doesn't always denote what is better. Better viewing angles, darker blacks and more vivid colors overall on amoled. Better whites on ips with a more yellow hue to the whites on amoled. Also, better sunlight visibility on ips and the display is generally more durable.
