Back to the root

Yeye Bello is a disaster

When looking at smartphones and tablets, we often obsess over cores and gigs and screen sizes. While all those are important to weigh when evaluating a device, the component we see the most – that we interact with the most – is the screen. When talking about computers in days gone by, the fight was between LCD (liquid crystal display) and CRT (cathode ray tube) – with CRT eventually becoming all but a footnote in the annals of history. Today, the battle is between LCD and LED (light emitting diode) – more specifically between IPS and AMOLED.

IPS LCD

lcdIPS (in-plane switching) was developed primarily to help LCD overcome the limitations of “regular” TFT LCD. TFT (thin-film transistor) displays typically had slow response times which initially plagued PC gamers who require screens with fast response times, but this eventually became problematic to mainstream users when touchscreens became commonplace.

Viewing angles on TFT screens were okay when you were sitting directly in front of one, but smartphones and tablets required wider angles than TFT was able to provide. Additionally, color replication and sharpness on IPS LCDs were better than on the TFT predecessors and most competing technologies. If you want clean, bright whites, IPS is the panel for you!

On the downside, IPS LCDs require stronger backlights, are more power hungry, and are typically more bulky (thicker) than other screens.

AMOLED

Samsung-Demos-4-5-Inch-Flexible-AMOLED-Panel-2AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) is an upgrade to OLED (organic light emitting diode). The technology uses organic compounds which produce (or “emit”) light when exposed to an electric current. In most cases, this eliminates the need for backlighting, which reduces power consumption and bulk.

Modern AMOLED displays also provide better viewing angles, surpassing IPS. If you want deep blacks, nothing beats an AMOLED panel! However, since AMOLED is more difficult to produce than IPS, costs are higher and images aren’t quite as sharp.

Since each “dot” is essentially its own colored light in an AMOLED display, colors are better and contrast is great! The brightness of each dot varies by its color, so considerations have to be taken to make each colored dot appear as bright as the other colors next to it. Due to this limitation, AMOLED screens aren’t as visible in daylight as IPS displays. Then, to add insult to injury, AMOLED dots degrade, reducing the color saturation of the panel over time.

Improvements

Technological improvements never rest. Super AMOLED and Super IPS are already trying to solve the underlying shortcomings of each type of display. Every iteration of each panel will whittle away at the shortcomings and improve upon the strengths.

If you want deep blacks, vibrant colors, and great battery life, AMOLED is the panel you’ll probably be most happy with.

If you want bright whites, daylight readability, and sharp text and images, IPS is likely a better fit.

Which is better, AMOLED vs IPS?

Unfortunately, this isn’t one of those “this one is clearly better than that one” comparisons. Each end user is going to bring their own likes and dislikes to the decision. The answer to the question is as unique as the person asking it.

Bro, Nokia 6 na beast.

Wetin these tecno marketers no dey use their chinkos compare?

Nokia 3

Lol. So Ronaldo is stronger than Chris Samba?

Oganla

Opistorincos:
This won't be good

it's meant to be a budget phone. Going by that price, it won't be a bad phone with those specs

Temidayo9:
Release After Nokia 7, and not Nokia 8.

Heard Nokia 7 is solely for the Chinese market. How true is that?

Nokia will win the market back.

Please try do a speed test between phantom 8 and the Nokia 6.

Nokia is back

Still the same mtk

That Nokia 6 make sense die

You guys should go to OAU to learn how to protest peacefully without vandalising properties

Seems Nokia 7 is currently exclusive for China market. I hope it goes global anytime soon. Currently using Nokia 3 and hope to change to Nokia 6 anytime soon.

Nokia 6

Infinix Hot 2

Nokia 8 is a beast. The performance is superb.

My ex is an Ebira girl. My best friend is an Ebira man. My uncle married an Ebira woman. I served in Adavi Local Government which is an Ebira land. I love the Ebira community but they can be stubborn and violent sometimes.

See the effect of conc osogbo weed

Just pick the Nokia 3 and forget others.

Quit smoking, you no free. Now see your life.

It's getting interesting

Thanks for the information.

There can only be one Fela

So you get your mama nude pictures? Happy to know

This guy dey hot o

These chinko marketers sef. Try do a speed test between Nokia 5 and your Chinko to see the difference yourself.

More savagery to come
