Agreed. The display on my s6 edge is far superior than my iPhone 6 plus. OLED is just beautiful. they probably won't change the display until iPhone 7 though.
Yet the phones with those "other screens" haven't beat the iPhone 6/6Plus is in sales however. Just sayin'.
I suspect if we do see it if won't be until next year. Anyone besides Samsung using OLED?
Not everyone wants to use Android or cares about 2K displays. Of course Android OEMs have to go spec whoring as they're sharing the same OS and ecosystem. Yeah the iPhone needs more RAM (and I'll bet my AAPL stock we get it this year) but I wasn't aware the A8 and A8X were lagging behind the competition.
That doesn't mean the screens aren't still better in terms of brightness, contrast, etc. than the screens the iPhone uses. It just means that the iPhone is more popular and has zero competition from other OEMs in the iOS space (that's because there are no other OEMs that ship with iOS on their devices). The reason Apple probably won't use OLEDs for a while longer is that Samsung makes the best in the business, but their yields aren't the best if I recall, and they don't sell their newest displays for 2 years. I don't think Apple will be using a screen designed by Samsung from 2013 while Samsung devices get the 2015 panels. The PR department would have a nightmare on its hands.Yet the phones with those "other screens" haven't beat the iPhone 6/6Plus is in sales however. Just sayin'.
The only display resolution I care about is one where I literally can't see the pixels with my naked eye. iPhone 6 I can, haven't used the 6+ but on my 1080p 5.2" Moto X I mostly can't. For me 1080p is fine, 2K is a bit much but acceptable. You did hit the nail on the head with the spec wars. All Android OEMs have to compete with each other, and the only differentiating factors they have are their software tweaks and hardware. Plus, the average consumer generally thinks more is better so they cater to that mentality too. I am quite pleased with the performance of my Air 2's A8X, and from what I understand most apps can't use more than 1 processor core at a time anyway so the extras are just for the basic multitasking that takes place anyway. The octa core chipsets being pushed nowadays are very heavy overkill, especially since my quad core device run quite well. 2 up to maybe 4 cores are all that would be needed on a mobile device nowadays as long as the actual processor tech keeps building to be better (I'm not that technical of a person).
Yeah, I'm quoting that from memory on something I read a year or two ago. Although, no other manufacturer seems to use the newest Samsung display panels, so I feel there is some truth to it.
