Quite a few manufacturers of mobile gadgets are starting to abandon quite good IPS matrices in favor of AMOLED displays. In which phones they are installed, it is quite easy to find out. It is enough to look at the included screen in complete darkness. If there are at least some glimmers of light, then you have the usual LCD backlight with IPS technology. Phones with an AMOLED display have a completely black screen and do not glow. This is one of the most remarkable features of this technology.
The pioneer in this area is considered to be Samsung. It was she who showed and told in detail what an AMOLED display on a phone is. Samsung and its engineers were able to design an active matrix based on organic light emitting diodes. The abbreviation AMOLED is exactly the decoding of this technology (Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode).
Difficulties in choosing
Phones with an AMOLED screen have a number of undeniable advantages and practically no significant drawbacks. That is why many manufacturers transfer their new models to them.
Pros of AMOLED technology:
- significantly less compared tofamiliar matrices, power consumption;
- more varied colors;
- reduced response time;
- maximum viewing angles;
- high and at the same time eye-friendly contrast;
- capable of working with ultra-thin cases.
Also on sale you can find phones with Super AMOLED-screen. The prefix "Super" was added by Samsung's marketers to stir up interest in new models. In principle, as such, there is no difference between a regular phone and a phone with a super AMOLED display.
The only moment that can be called more or less significant is the elimination of the air gap in gadgets marked "Super". This gave impetus to an even greater reduction in the thickness of the hull, and nothing more, and the backbone of the technologies itself remained as it is, and there are no other cardinal changes. So those who do not want to overpay extra money for a millimeter of thinness do not have to buy phones with a Super AMOLED display.
Some experts still trace the negative points in the new screens and describe in detail the shortcomings on thematic forums. The fact is that smartphones with a Super AMOLED display use a sub-pixel arrangement of dots of the PenTile RGBG standard. This allows you to significantly increase the life of the screen, but at the same time, the output picture also deteriorates.
A good half of the manufacturers, including Samsung, preferred to keep silent about this feature in their advertising brochures, but soon corrected the situation by releasing all the same phones with Super AMOLED, with only onethe difference is that new gadgets support the familiar RGB RGB format. The latter is just used in conventional AMOLED devices without the Super prefix. So be sure to pay attention to the variety of RGB standard before buying a smartphone.
Next, let's take a look at the best phones with an AMOLED display, which are distinguished by their quality component and a large number of flattering reviews from consumers. All the models described below can be seen on the shelves of both offline and online stores. So there shouldn't be any problems with "look and feel".
