hakinze00:dude. screen type has nothing to do with camera quality and that site is known by nobody and therefore has zero credibility |

CarlyX8:but then,all the pixels are not always lit. |
CarlyX8:read the whole article again! |
no comments. just reading comments. |
or better yet AMOLED = Black IPS LCD = White AMOLED = Vivid colours IPS LCD = Natural colours currently using a phone with AMOLED display. and i dont think i can ever use LCD again. im loving the screen. a black out picture is the same as turning my phone off! whereas on lcd you'll still see backlit on the edges of the screen |
https://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/reviews/174726-image/Samsung-Galaxy-S6-vs-Apple-iPhone-6-01.jpg One of the many choices you have when buying a new smartphone is display type. There are two major technologies on the market, AMOLED (or Super AMOLED) and IPS LCD, and both have their advantages and disadvantages. Here we'll explain exactly what you need to know about them without going too far into the complex technicalities of each approach. Right away it's worth pointing out that all the major manufacturers put a few proprietary technologies on top of the foundations laid by AMOLED or IPS LCD – technologies usually given a baffling custom name – and that's why two AMOLED smartphones may not match in terms of depth and quality even if they're of the same type. In other words the quality of a phone's display is about more than whether it uses AMOLED or IPS LCD. While we can talk about the differences between AMOLED and IPS LCD in broad terms, if you want to know the standard of the screen on one particular device, individual reviews are always your best port of call. Differences between these two technologies have changed over the years, and will continue to change as new upgrades appear, so keep an eye on the newest updates from the major manufacturers. AMOLED AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode) technology is now often seen in its next-generation Super AMOLED guise. With these displays, individual pixels are lit separately (that's the active matrix bit) on top of a thin film transistor (TFT) array that passes electricity through organic compounds (that's the OLED bit). It's a newer technology than IPS LCD and improves on it in some areas while still lagging behind in others. At its heart OLED technology uses anodes and cathodes for electron flow through a very thin film; brightness is determined by the strength of the electron current. Color is controlled by the tiny red, green and blue light-emitting diodes built into the display. The best way of understanding it is to think of each pixel as its own independently colored, miniature light bulb on the screen. Colors are typically brighter with AMOLED and Super AMOLED, and blacks are darker because portions of the screen can be effectively turned off. This also leads to a theoretical improvement in battery life, but that depends on exactly how you're using the screen (if all the pixels are lit all the time, the inverse can be true with AMOLED being more power-hungry than IPS LCD). AMOLED traditionally suffered from "burn in," where pixel quality degraded over time, though this is becoming less of a problem as the technology improves. Also in the negative column, they cost more to produce and can appear less sharp when viewed at very close range. Samsung is Super AMOLED's biggest fan, and you'll often find its phones being talked about in terms of the vibrancy and vividness of the colors – that's Super AMOLED at work. The technology scores highly for gorgeous-looking colors and very deep blacks. The key difference between Super AMOLED and the standard AMOLED (often used by the likes of Motorola) is that the former integrates touch sensors in the display itself, removing the need for an extra layer and often allowing for an overall thinner device. Generally speaking Super AMOLED also offers better brightness and battery life, though again manufacturers are working hard to minimize the difference with their own improvements. IPS LCD In the other corner of the ring we have IPS LCD, or In-Plane Switching Liquid Crystal Display – as Super AMOLED is an upgrade on plain old AMOLED, so IPS LCD improves on the venerable (TFT) LCD technology. The mighty iPhone uses IPS LCD and from the manufacturers' point of view it's cheaper to produce, which is a bonus. In essence, LCD uses polarized light which is then run through a color filter. Horizontal and vertical filters on either side of the liquid crystals control the brightness and whether or not each pixel is on or off. With the backlight included, the handsets are usually thicker – though as with many of these points progress is being made to fix that (and Apple's latest iPhones are notable exceptions). All the pixels are backlit to some extent while the device is on, however, even the black ones. This means contrast and blackness can suffer (if you're watching a movie set in deep space, for example). On the upside, pixels can give the impression of being packed more closely together, aiding sharpness and clarity (something Apple is very keen on). IPS LCD is often spoken of as offering more natural colors; AMOLED screens can sometimes look a little over-saturated. Viewing angles often aren't quite as good on IPS LCD as they are on AMOLED, broadly speaking, and again its the backlight to blame. On the other hand whites tend to come out better – the whites on an AMOLED screen can sometimes come across as slightly yellowy. Photographers tend to opt for IPS LCD displays as they show colours more accurately. As well as Apple, LG is a big fan of the IPS LCD approach, and so is HTC. These displays can usually perform better in terms of their visibility in bright sunlight even if they're not quite as good for watching movies in a darkened room (as you can see, it's a tough call to pick one over the other). Conclusion There really is no winner when it comes to AMOLED vs IPS LCD, but it's still helpful to know what each technology involves. The quality of a screen primarily comes down to how a manufacturer applies its chosen standard, and a lot of potential problems on both sides – from battery drain to washed-out blacks – can be minimized with a high-quality production process. Many of the issues and disadvantages we've talked about are being dealt with by Samsung, Apple and the other major players, as each one tweaks the displays in their handsets and the technology lying underneath. For that reason keep reading the reviews as they come out to see how AMOLED and IPS LCD fare in the years to come. Ultimately, you should focus on the strengths of each technology when choosing – that's bright colors and deep blacks for AMOLED, and natural colors and sharpness for IPS LCD. It would be nice to have one technology that does everything perfectly, of course, but we're not quite there yet. source: http://newatlas.com/amoled-vs-ips-display-technology/39196/ |

hadecole159:it does not still mean it's popular or good |
hadecole159:Really, no idea. But this why I'm always against people buying brands. If its was a popular brand now, I would had done some research |
7. Calculator 8. Flash drive(memory card reader) 9. WiFi hotspot |
Phone name? Android version? |
shiftback:Did you read the second paragraph of my article? I don't own one, but not because its overpriced, But because its expensive! And the phantom 6 is also expensive. Just that s7 is more expensive as its a better phone. |
shiftback:No. Why ask? |
ayeeshaapink:I would just say "misunderstanding" Cos I never said I hate tecno I never said tecno was overpriced I never said tecno phones were poor |
cutiedave:Lol. It's actually Oghenekaro ![]() I have actually handled the phone. Went to slot to check it out. It's actually very nice and I can buy it. But imagine the cost of making Waterproof = 10k Bp scanner = 10k Snapdragon = 20k more than mediatek Wireless charging = 10k Amoled = 20k than LCD Higher screen resolution = 20k than phantom 6 And other miscellaneous cost of building the phone that Tecno exempted = 20k Together that's 110k more than tecno Lets say we add a profit of 20k to existing profit made by tecno That's 130k If we should add 130 to current phantom 6+ 130k that's 260k. And we both know that my price is not actual fact and it might even cost more than what I estimated. now think of it. Is s7 overpriced? I don't think phantom is but if you should add these stuff listed above to a phantom. Then we are looking at 260k for a phantom too. Every company sells brand. It's business and had nothing to do with tech. Even tecno sells brand. The can't sell the same price with wiko even if they release the same exact phone They are levels of companies, Just like they are levels of humans. If you can talk and host a show, does it mean you'll be paid the same amount as they would pay Basketmouth? |
scarycuteface: cutiedave:You guys did not read my tread well which is what most other people did. You all just scanned through it and felt I was saying tecno is making stupid phones and overpriced. I never said so! I said even if tecno has now improved they need a better way to get more money and customers for their now "good" products and one of the ways is creating a sub company. Selling their high end phones as premuim under these company. And some idiot started comparing their phones to s7. I laugh Tecno cant be Samsung and would never be Just like phantom 6 would never be s7. That's what I've been saying. I know its had for people to read online with understanding nowadays. I'm cool with that. |
excanny:Aside that phantom 6 has dual camera slimmer 5.5 inch 21mp and has 6 cores while 6+ has finger print reader and 10 cores 6 inch and 13mp What else? Dude you're the novice here Did you read the links I sent to you? I guess no! |
The answer you are looking for is NO! |
MizMyColi: datyorubaboy:Does me using it make it waterproof? Or have a higherscreen resolution? Or blood pressure scanner? Or OIS Or better camera Or curved screen Or longer battery Or wireless charging Or os updates Or better customer support Or better selfie camera Or better android skin Or better optimization Or faster Or use snapdragon Or have fingerprint scanner (phantom 6) ? ? ? ? ? ? ? I never said phantom 6 was a low phone. It might be good enough for its price, but not good enough to be s7. Neither is s7 overpriced. And please do not compare the two |
excanny:So they should make substandard phones cos you are poor? |
MizMyColi:I never said 6+ was overpriced. Never never My argument is s7 is not overpriced and should not be compared to 6+ as its way better than 6+. |
MizMyColi:Calm down and open your mind to learn and drop all sentiments. They are so many thing s7 does that even phantom 7 won't do. So there is no point saying its over priced. And no point comparing the two. If you really want to prove your point, bring out a phone with equal specs as the phantom 6 |
excanny:Please read with understanding! I said if tecno cos $1 in Nigeria. That's N500 and Sammy cost $2 that's N1000, the diff btw N500 and N1000 is not as much as $1 and $2 By the way. Tecno phantom 6+ cost $272 while Samsung galaxy s7 edge cost $500 You see in dollars s7 is not overpriced for an actually way better phone than phantom 6+ If naira was N150 to a dollar S7 edge would be 75k and phantom 6+ 40,800. And we know that the year of phantom z when tecno costed about 40k with their rubbish, Samsung was over 100k. So if we should reduce the price of Samsung to 75k, is tecno not suppose to be way less than 40k? The truth is if tecno should build a galaxy s7 it would cost more than Samsung's sells thiers Do you still think s7 is overpriced? |
excanny:You're beginning so sound like a tecno marketer. I swear you are saying rubbish. Complete rubbish since morning. You don't know anything but you have so much confidence in the rubbish you know. I would give you links to read up and educate yourself.

MizMyColi:Still considering naira at that exchange rate, how much is Samsung phones suppose to cost? Remember that if $1 = N500 $2 = N1000 $10 = N5000 You know what that means? The more expensive the product, the exchange rate doubles. So if s7 cost almost tripple of phantom 6 outside the country the difference might not be much. Think about it |
benzics: excanny:Numbers numbers numbers All you count is numbers. If numbers tell it all, they, Won't be need for reviews, tests and comparisms. Numbers is not everything How it works real life is what matters. People like you would also say s7 and phantom 6+ have equally sharp display if they have the same resolution forgetting that phantom 6+ screen is bigger meaning less ppi. But now 6+ even has less resolution. Thats 1 over how many things to consider in a phone. Please stop counting numbers. See someone talking about mega pixels, if its just numbers then Lumia 1020 suppose to be the best camera phone in the world And phantom 6 plus 6+ camera together is not better than even galaxy s6 camera. |
benzics:Hmmmmmm.... Read this...... augster: |
