Anonymous, 28 Jul 2019I had a 5.5" screen 720p, pixels were clearly visible, can'... moreThis doesn't apply to all AMOLED displays. Galaxy S2 - RGB, Galaxy J5 2015 - Diamond Pentile, Galaxy J7 Nxt - RGBG Pentile.

My J7 Nxt (267ppi) seems significantly sharper than my dad's J5 (294ppi, 188ppi effective).

A typical RGB matrix would show its true ppi, it has 3 subpixels. Diamond Pentile has 2 subpixels with a circular green subpixel. RGBG (or RGB, in GSMArena's terms) also has 2 subpixels also with an extra green (in some cases, blue) subpixel, but it's rectangular, in other words 2 subpixels, but 3 effective.

If you see an AMOLED Diamond Pentile display with a ppi of 441 or higher, you should be fine as the effective ppi would be 294, you can't really see pixels at that ppi.

To conclude, RGB and RGBG will be fine, but Diamond Pentile is something to avoid when it comes to 720p and 1080p (depending on screen size) displays.

If you want to see RGBG, go to the Galaxy A7 (2016) review, for Diamond Pentile, go to
the OnePlus 3 review, both have 5.5" 1080p displays.

The difference between Super AMOLED and AMOLED is that sAMOLED has the digitizer integrated to the display. Not much difference in real life though, barely noticeable.

Hope this helped :)

    It's a 640p
    I own an Iphone se too and I'm looking forward to switching with the mi a3.
    I'm not sure though... I feel like 720p isn't enough for me.

      No NFC, no buy!
      I love this device and i expected to have NFC on the next version.
      Too bad, it's a great device, but i need NFC and i want something with Android One.
      Every brand fights at the camera megapixels but forgot functionality. NFC it's a must in these days!
      Great OS, good hardware, but no vision and adaptability for the market.

          This has become a bit of a habit for Xiaomi now, a whole lot of new devices and a whole lot of poor choices. Xiaomi is trying to do with brands like Samsung previously did. At 250 Euros this phone definitely needed a 1080p screen specially given the screen size. For a stock android experience you should now have to make that large of a compromise.

              No offence to other people but personally I feel it’s a great phone, I am someone who look for a software which is pure and less bloatware.

              This phone for me is a very good deal.

              I know they compromised the display to 720p BUT you have a great camera AND (maybe) a battery that can last you a day or 2.

              My personal phone is an iPhone SE with 1080p display and a office OPPO A3S with 720p, for me I can’t really notice any difference between these 2.

                      For the price... Actually it's necessary if they put the NFC in...
                      It would be an automatic buy for me & maybe lots of people considering the price...

                            I believe the Xiaomi Mi A3 should launch in India with upgraded features like:
                            1. Full HD resolution Display
                            2. Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 chipset Processor (better than SD 675 on Redmi Note 7 Pro)
                            3. Dedicated microSD card slot
                            4. P2i nano coating splash proof
                            5. In-box 18W fast charger
                            6. 4GB+64GB / 6GB+128GB at ₹14,990 and ₹17,990 respectively

But 720p is not bad as most people would downrate it to. I have a 1080p phone but I rarely watch 1080p movies because I can only watch 1hour movie from afar (less stress to my eye) to a point that a 720p resolution doesn't matter anymore. Youtube even automatically uses 720p and no one even noticed that it's only 720p until I checked the settings. If people really are too concerned about movie watching, the deep blacks and crisp colors from a SUPER AMOLEDs and the story line were the ones being remembered. No ones watching a movie and says, deym that movie svcks it's only 720p.

                                  Anything below 320 PPI in a display definitely not good.

                                    Mi A3 or Galaxy A50

                                      As in the past there is identical phone with MiUi instead of Android One. But CC9e is just a cheaper version of CC9 that have Snapdragon 710 and proper fullHD display so I bet there gone be Mi A3 Pro coming in near future.

                                        phone max settings is 720p, you can max your settings, LOL. you can also set HD setting in a higher res screen phone, difference is you can get better picture quality in other applications that do not require more processing power, but with this phone you are stuck with 720p no matter what task you run.

                                        In a while greater processors will come out for cheap and we all will be laughing at this "controversy" all but those purchased this they will be stuck with a bad screen till they sell the phone, and it will sell for a low price.
