Honestly it's not as if I cannot search google and get answers, actually I have but the tech terminologies they used seemed too bogus for me to understand.

Okay here's a brief background...

I took interest on this matter since the day @ritababe suggested to @Bosun13 that he should buy a Tecno Phantom 6...
So Bosun replied that he does not do screens with HD IPS that he prefers AMOLED displays.

So, in my mind, I remembered that Phantom 6 screen had this strong and fluid screen/display and it definitely doesn't look inferior.
So I confirmed that Phantom 6 actually came with AMOLED, not HD IPS screen display.

But then, I desired to know the exact difference between these two displays....
The only thing I can gather is that there really isn't much difference among them as it depends on the quality that the phone manufacturer pumps into it.

Please how true is this?

Here is a brief note down of the IPS technology:

Pros:

Better response time as compared to regular LCDs
Better Color reproduction
Better viewing angle
Sharper Images

Cons:

Requires a stronger backlight
More power hungry
Screens (cell phones) are usually much thicker (bulkier) due to backlight source‎

Here is a brief note down of AMOLED technology

Pros:

No Backlight Required
Screen is slimmer, less bulky phone
No backlight, less battery usage, greater battery life
Great Contrast

Cons:

Difficult to produce, more expensive tech (Screen replacement very expensive)
Images Not as sharp as IPS
Less Bright as compared to IPS, so less daylight visibility
Display Colors Degrade over time.

But there is a Super IPS display tech already developed to counter the cons of the IPS tech and a Super AMOLED to counter the cons of the AMOLED tech.

Elxandre:
I know what you're trying to do but kwantinue

AMOLED screens generally have somewhat sharper screens with very dark 'blacks'and higher color saturation.
they have better viewing angles sice each pixel is lit up individually.

But they are susceptible to 'burn in': some pixel in the screen getting damaged by heat.

A quality AMOLED screen is almost always better than a quality LCD screen.

pcguru1:


To be frank I don't know about displays like that and it's hardly a factor for me when buying a phone. As long as I can see what I'm typing am okay with that

kio052001:
HD IPS display are more power friendly and they make the device sizeable

while

AMoLED displays have better displays and are in a way stronger


that's all

djtommy:


where did you read it that LCD panels are more sizeable than OLed?
please research very well before posting

Techm8:
AMOLEDS; Each pixel has its own light emitting diode.
Characteristics: saturated colors, deep blacks, power efficient, legible under direct sunlight, thinner.

IPS; One light emitting diode illuminates the entire
panel.
Characteristics: accurate color reproduction, better viewing angles, brighter whites, sharper.

phantom 6: AMOLED
Samsung Galaxy, Note and A series: AMOLED

phantom 6+ : IPS
iPhone: IPS


The future of display: AMOLED
Personal Favorite; AMOLED.

Bosun13:
apple iPhone used best Ips display so far in smartphone industry...But still; they have desided to switch to amoled display in their upcoming iPhone 8....anyway. it depends on choice...but for me I prefer amoled to ips

MizMyColi:


Uh uh
thought both series are AMOLED.

see ya laifu

MizMyColi:
Now I'm beginning to understand why some people say that P6 is more solid than p6 plus.

Abdstrakt:

I've held both devices and trust me phantom 6 display trumps the 6+.
Moving forward, Tecno should just stick with AMOLED on their flagships, even Apple will be dumping IPS soon.

Kondomatic:
IPS (In-Plane Switching Liquid Crystal Display!) is to AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode) what Mediatek is to snapdragon.


No need for long story.


BTW, USING AMOLED is no guarantee that the display will be perfect or better than that of IPS. Quality of the screen go far beyond using just AMOLED. It primarily comes down to how a manufacturer applies its chosen standard.

I once compared two devices using same display and one was far ahead the other.

It all boils down to what the company can do with the techs inside.

A 2GB RAM dual core apple iPhone will outperform many 4GB RAM Quad core Android phones same way an 8MP camera on IPhone will capture a better detailed picture than a 13MP camera on Some Android phones.

I prefer SUPER AMOLED

Optimization is the key.
