Posted on Samsung Display’s YouTube channel, the comparison video shows the advantages of AMOLED displays over LCD. Samsung’s been praised for the display quality in its flagship Android handsets numerous times, with experts explaining that AMOLED screens can offer a superior experience to LCD screens.
Apple’s iPhone and iPad, meanwhile, have LCD screens that deliver remarkable performance, but they are limited to what LCD technology can currently offer – according to the same display experts.
