Me too. Now that I've read this, I'm considering an 8 Plus. I don't want some burn-in issue like they use to have on Plasma TV's.
Got a tip for us?

The coming samsung AMOLED burn-in on iPhone X screen

Yes it should, Apple needed OLED to catch up with the competition. They are using old tech. The screen on the note 8 blows every screen away for a reason
Not sure what your statement has anything to do with my reply. I'm simply indicating, if you start a thread off something that your contesting, and someone questions you, it would make more sense to provide facts of why you believe this. It makes for more of a
Practical discussion.
And has another forum member already indicated to you, it seems you're making of a larger deal out of this than it should be, even with someone else researched Android forums.
I've been using my S8 Plus since April and the screen still looks beautiful. Burn In really isn't a thing anymore. I mean can it happen? Sure. Is it as prevalent as it used to be? Especially in higher end phones? Nope. Last phone I had that suffered from really bad burn in, was my 2011 Galaxy Nexus. But mobile OLED has come a long way since 2011. Between Apple and Samsung, I'm sure the iPhone 10's display will be just fine
the OP has two successful troll topics... not bad.
he even got some people to hold off from buying the X...

So many posts not sure if this has been said already....
But this could be why Apple don’t want devs blacking out the status bar around the notch. If you read the article linked the issue seems to be with an “always on” section of the S8 screen. As far as I know the X doesn’t have that.
diamond pentile and pentile are totally different screens. diamond is the latest and greatest
No it wouldn’t. My s7 edge is 14-16 months old and never had one and it has no scratches on it.
That good and all but this isn’t a pentile screen on the Note 8. It’s the next evolution of screens. And it does not have any grainy look to it.
Also Apple Raised the price of AppleCare due to the higher cost and frequency of having to replace OLED Burn in on people devices. So even Apple is getting ready.
I currently have 7 Samsung phones sitting here, some of them three years old. None of them have screen burn in.
Actually, I just read an article on Google now stating that Apple raised the price on AppleCare because the glass back is more expensive to replace then the screen itself.
Nope. Can't even remotely agree, based upon my Galaxy S8+.
There is nothing remotely grainy about Samsung's current QHD+ AMOLED displays. The level of detail and sharpness is insane for a phone.
Today's AMOLED displays have nothing in common with the pentile displays from 2011 when they looked like this.

Different? There may be some aspect to it that is patented by Apple and not available to other manufactures.
You act like there is no precedent for Apple putting a twist on something conventional. That's pretty much their standard operating procedure.
I'm not saying they can't, and they certainly do for new features (Touch ID, Face ID, etc). I'm just saying that for their LCD technology they use standard LCD tech, albeit very high quality panels, but nothing really different from LG, HTC, or any computer LCD screen for that matter. All LCD utilizes standard RGB sub-pixel formation.
AMOLED uses a different sub-pixel formation. They previously used to use the PenTile: https://www.oled-info.com/super-amoled
Now they use a Diamond formation: https://www.oled-info.com/diamond-pixel-unique-gs4-sub-pixel-arrangement
Either way, it's a method of maximizing PPI, and is not the same as the standard RGB sub-pixel formation (some mention the slight fuzziness to the screen, despite the high PPI - I am in this camp), as you can see in the picture from the first link.
There are reasons for this of course, because since each pixel is lit up on it's own, you cant have blues (which use more power) dying out early, which is why they need to overemphasize them, etc. Just a limitation of OLED.
Interesting how you have never even seen the iPhone X in person, yet you formulate an opinion based on color saturation? Why should Apple use the current LCD panel, being that they're shifting to all OLED ? Did they not just release an iPhone 8 with an LCD dislay? I'm not seeing your counter argument here at all.
This made me LOL - planning to get one, but immediately after reading this post have changed your mind, just like that... maybe you were looking for an excuse not to get one in the first place.
Well...
1. This was a problem with early amoled screens and technology has advanced.
2. Apple has burn in protection protocol in the firmware.
3. If (and it won’t) becomes an issue, Apple has a proven track record of mass repair programs.
4. Android is more susceptible to burn in issues due to their always on displays and the lock screens with those big fugly digital clock numbers.

Actually no the always on displays do not cause that either as the display moved around to prevent this but nice try. And the AMOLED screen on the Note 8 is not grainy at all. There will be no issue with the iPhone display. If will be just fine. Why does everyone keep feeding into this troll post. I'm not even getting the X as I have the 7 plus and Note 8. But common. The X will be just fine.
Some people know nothing about AMOLED after 2012...
The iPhone X display will be fine. I wouldn’t lose a second of sleep over it.
Though I’ll be glad when it releases...not because I’m buying one, I got an 8+, but because then this X manic hysteria will pass.
Burn-in is a very real thing, but it is very difficult for it to happen. It is even more difficult for it to happen on a phone. The only way I see someone getting burn in is if they turn off an auto lock timer and leave the screen on the same static image for a few hours.
For all of this discussion I am avoiding the iPhone x for reasons stated here. Interesting to see if and how Apple handles burn in issues.
All the Amoled screens I’ve had always ended up with the keyboard being burnt in after about 6 months. Don’t like pentile either.
It will become an issue. Oled technology still has burn in issues. Even the latest displays. Firmware will not prevent burn in.. If someone is reading the news all the time with the same app and the brightness is cranked it will cause burn in after a while. It's just the way oled technology is. . Always on display doesn't cause any more burn in.
firmware will not prevent burn in, but software can. There are subtle things Apple can and should do, such as have the image shift ever so slightly when an app is launched. It would be something you could not visually see, but this is what LG does for its OLEDs.
I watch a lot of NFL Network, RedZone, and ESPN. They have the ticker menues that stay put. On older plasma's I use to always get burn in because of it, on the newer OLEDs since implementing what I described above, there is no hint of burn in at all.
