OLED iPhone 8 to Feature Curved Display and New Touch-Sensitive Technology

[Radon87000]

Can you cite a reference for that "fact"?

Yes.The Anniversary iPhone which is the higher end version and more expensivehas OLED while the low end models get LCD.The AW has OLED.The S7 Edge has the best display on the planet etc

I am amazed it took so long tbh.Samsung has AMOLED technology on $200 phones for years now.In fact apart from the HTC,there isnt a single relevant Android manufacturer using LCD now on their flagships

I understand that, what I was trying to tease out was whether this user was under the impression that LCD's are all the same (regardless of the technology), just like many people are under the odd delusion that OLED is a monolithic technology.

I understand that the iPhone LCD has the best LCD display out there but the very best OLED displays from Samsung trump it.

....screen resolution has nothing to do with display quality.

it's a low end LCD I can easily tell the difference in sharpness compared to the 401ppi found on the plus version.the screen is not even 1080p.pathetic how apple gets away with it.

Again, sharpness has nothing to do with the "end" of a display.

A TFT LCD is a whole difference animal from an IPS panel. Perhaps you should read up on LCD's before writing stupid comments.

Wrong.It does.Text on my iPhone 6 is not as sharp as on my 7 Plus.NoW that I used a Plus display I find the normal iPhone display blurry in some aspects

you are not understanding!

apple low end phone will have the low end LCD.they could give it a better screen like on the plus versions and now the rumor is a super premium version will have OLED.

it's a low end screen in there line up.

don't be surprised when the premium OLED version is 2k or 4k resolution

So the answer is no, got it.

I don't think you understand what quality means in a production sense. You're seeing a clearer screen because there are more pixels.

More pixels does not automatically make a screen better. You can have an LCD with a 4K panel but still have crap viewing angles.

Exactly the fact that the Anniversry iPhone is OLED while the low end iPhones are LCD say it all.Even Apple knows LCD is inferior

don't be surprised when the premium OLED version is 2k or 4k resolution

It will.Samsung is the prime supplier of OLED for Apple and considering that Pentile displays are their speciality Apple will need to increase the resolution to match the LCD sharpness

Its the same Edge display Samsung has offered for years except to prevent people from copy accusations they will add a universal touch sensitivity

OLEDs generally have better viewing angles

I understand that, what you're quoting is a post trying to get the point across that "LCD" as a term can not be assigned to high or low end just as OLED cannot be.

I've got a camera with a monochromatic OLED on it, but it being OLED doesn't mean it's a better display than (pretty much any) LCD technology.

There's TFT, IPS, etc. technologies behind each of these categories, to simply state X is better than Y without looking at metrics like viewing angle, brightness, color accuracy, etc is just talking nonsense and the poster I keep going back and forth with doesn't seem to understand that point.

 

[grkm3]

the gs8 is rumored to bring back the RGB stripe found in the super AMOLED plus on the note 2. you can bet that apple will use the same exact screen on the iPhone 8

Doubt it, Apple is likely going to have their own line tailored to the exact specs they're looking for. Expect a part number not listed by Samsung for any other device.

Does he not understand or do you not agree?

actually you are right.i read somewhere that Samsung does not provide it's top end AMOLED screens to 3rd party's.they will give apple a numbed down version and probably 1080p

Samsung gives what customers will pay for. They'd be foolish to turn away Apple's dump trucks full of money.

Given his posts since, he clearly does not understand there is a distinction between displays.

no they have said they keep the high end in-house for there flagship and not available to 3rd party's.they just started selling the old galaxy s6 soc 7420 to anyone that wants it.you CANT buy the 8890 found in the gs7 or note 7 or buy those screens.

Again, expect a model number no one has seen before when/if Apple goes with Samsung for their OLEDS (which they should given Samsung has the best manufacturing capability for OLED....currently).

326ppi LCD display on my iPhone 6S is super crisp and beautiful. I fail to see what OLED would give me. I am not buying another iPhone until 2018.

When I am talking display quality I am talking from the POV of the user. The smaller iPhone screen has a blurry look to it compared to rival flagships.

An LCD with crap viewing angles but a sharper display will still be better than an iPhone LCD from the point of view of sharpness

The only iPhone LCD worth buying is the Plus one as it doesn't involve any tradeoffs

It's already proven that the very best OLEDs are more power efficient , have better contrast,competent brightness and outstanding colour accuracy

There is a huge huge differenc between LCD and OLED. The very best OLED screens are jaw droppingly beautiful. I actually find my Tab S2 OLED more pleasing to the eye and vivid than my ipad display although the latter has a better screen

My iPhone 6S has a crystal clear display. What advantage do I get from paying more money for an OLED? I know Apple needs to get people upgrading every single year but to HELL with that. I'll get my iPhone battery replaced and keep it for 3 years.

It's also "proven" oled uses more power than LCD on light backgrounds, has burn in. What's the point again?

This is where expectations come into okay, what you characterize as "jaw dropping oy beautiful " in not seeing that level superiority above LCD.

 

[Radon87000]

Which is meaningless as on a whole because of the ability to turn pixels off on a black screen.It evens out.Besides an OS designed for OLED is usually given the ability to have a dark theme.Cue Windows Phone

has burn in

Just like yellow tints and uneven lighting and backlight bleed on LCDs.Here its just burn in which again occurs rarely if at all and only in an unrealistic store scenario where the devices are powered on 24x7 with max brightness

Its like running Prime95 benchmark on PC to stress test the CPU.It will eventually show BSOD on laptops if kept running 24x7 but people dont complain now do they?

This is where expectations come into okay, what you characterize as "jaw dropping oy beautiful " in not seeing that level superiority above LCD.

It is.Which is why OLED is only reserved for the top end iPhone.The iPhone 7s with the LCD is the low end model.Once you go OLED,you will never wish to go back

No, it's very relevant for bright displays.

Just like yellow tints and uneven lighting and backlight bleed on LCDs.Here its just burn in which again occurs rarely if at all and only in an unrealistic store scenario where the devices are powered on 24x7 with max brightness

Burn in is a certainty on OLED.

I've never had a BSOD on a well constructed device from running Prime95.

It is.Which is why OLED is only reserved for the top end iPhone.The iPhone 7s with the LCD is the low end model.Once you go OLED,you will never wish to go back

It's not.
