Optic AMOLED Vs Super AMOLED: What’s The Difference Between These Smartphone Displays

Smartphone manufacturers have adopted AMOLED displays in smartphones, with Samsung incorporating Super AMOLED displays in its devices since a considerably long period. However, with the announcement of OnePlus 3, we've come across a term that's not common in smartphone displays at all; Optic AMOLED displays. What is this sort of display and how does it differ from a Super AMOLED display? Let us find out shall we.

Optic AMOLED Vs Super AMOLED: What's The Difference Between These Smartphone Displays

On OnePlus 3's homepage, the following quote has been stated explaining what exactly an Optic AMOLED display is:

"Our stunning 5.5" Optic AMOLED display produces colors that are more vivid and true-to-life than ever before. A series of custom-engineered gamma corrections create a more natural viewing experience, while a dual-polarizing layer ensures ideal clarity, even in the brightest sunlight. The end result? Deep blacks, bright whites, and authentic color reproduction – all at a fraction of the power consumption. It's the smarter smartphone display."

OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei took to Reddit AMA to answer the queries regarding the differentiation between Optic AMOLED displays and regular displays. His reply was as follows:

"We've taken Super AMOLED and added our take on contrast and color temperature, to try and bring it more true to life. In addition, we've designed its performance profile to work well when outdoors in bright conditions."

In short, what Pei is trying to tell us that an Optic AMOLED is a variant of a Super AMOLED display and the company has had to adjust the color tone of the display through software changes that produces a result that is near similar to what you see in Super AMOLED displays. What this means is that the display is extremely vibrant and will appear thoroughly bright when you're using in outside in broad daylight. Additionally, the company focuses on battery life as well through this particular display type.

One other way how OnePlus has managed to make OnePlus 3 deliver more battery life is through its resolution. Where you see devices like Galaxy S7 edge, which boast resolutions of 1440p and display type of Super AMOLED (Samsung's smartphone displays on the Galaxy S7 are regarded as the best in the world right now), you see crisp detail, but that does not translate into better battery life.

With a OnePlus 3, where the resolution has been retained at 1080p, the experience is expected to be flawless and delivers sufficient battery life to the user. Do you think this is the most accurate description of an Optic AMOLED display? Let us know your thoughts right away.

Samsung is building a revolutionary ROLL-UP smartphone

GETTY • US PATENT OFFICE Example of a flexible display, LEFT, and the illustrations filed with the Samsung patent, RIGHT Samsung has been awarded a US patent for a brand-new foldable, rollable display to use across its smartphone and tablet ranges.

The Samsung Galaxy Note7 (S820) Review

This year has been difficult for smartphones, which is a bit of a paradox when you consider just how much better things have gotten compared to last year. With Snapdragon 820, 650, 652, and 625 we've finally moved past the shadow of the Snapdragon 810, 808, and 617/615. While there were Android devices that shipped with the Exynos 7420, they were often paired with a modem that was not necessarily the most power efficient. Despite all of this, there seems to be a general disappointment with smartphones. People are increasingly finding it hard to justify phones like the HTC 10 or Galaxy S7 with competition from OnePlus, Xiaomi, and even Apple with their iPhone SE. In this context the Galaxy Note7 brings much of the flavor of the Galaxy S7 edge, but blends it with the S-Pen of the Note line and a few new features like the iris scanner. If you were paying attention to the industry with the launch of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note5, it's very much more of the same rather than the m

Why do Android fanboys hate admitting that Samsung copied Apple?

It's impossible to cover the mobile market without diving into the good ol' "iOS vs. Android" debate from time to time. These are the two biggest mobile platforms on the planet, so they're constantly being compared. Likewise, Samsung and Apple are the world's top two smartphone vendors, so their phones are constantly pitted against each other as well. Of course, there's another reason Apple and Samsung are often mentioned in the same breath: after entering the market, Samsung quickly grew to become the top mobile device maker on the planet thanks in large part to Apple. First, Samsung did everything it possibly could to copy Apple's iPhone and iPad. Then, it spent billions upon billions of dollars belittling Apple products in TV, online, and print advertising. Samsung spent years positioning its own devices as the cool alternative to Apple's iPhone, and its efforts paid off big time. Even now, Samsung continues to copy Apple all the time acro
