Hi everyone, in this article, we will show you how to determine the display type of a smartphone. There are two predominant technologies in smartphone screens – the traditional LCD panel and the newer AMOLED display. Most phones still use LCD screens because this technology is more cost-effective due to its long-standing dominance as the main display type in televisions, smartphones, and tablets. So without further delay, let’s get started.

Smartphones have gone through many changes over the past few years and are still on the same path. For me personally, one of the best innovations was the AMOLED display, as it changed the way we use our devices. By that, we are not saying that the IPS LCD panel is that bad, but it’s still not on par with Super AMOLED panels. Not only that, but we also have OLED/QD OLED displays.

If you buy a smartphone now, you will find several display options. However, most of those who have bought their smartphone before don’t know the display type is in the right place now. In this article, we will tell you how to find out the current display type of your smartphone.

Step 1. Go to the brand’s website of your phone, and search for your phone model.

Step 2. Click on Tech Specs or Specification sheet for the phone and scroll down to display. Here you will be able to find the display type on your phone along with other details.

Additionally, you can also find a mention of the display being used on your phone from its box. Turn the box around and look out for its specifications highlights. There is a chance that the brand might have advertised it on the box itself.

Step 1. Download an AMOLED test image or simply an all-black image from Google.

Step 2. Now move to a dark environment and turn the brightness of the display to 100%. If you see any backlight, then the display being used on your phone is an LCD display. If it appears as if your phone’s screen is turned off, that is, nothing lights up, then it is an OLED/AMOLED display.

Step 1. Download the Display tester App for  Android, on your phone.

Step 2. Open the app and go to Tests.

Step 3. Tap on Defective Pixel Detection.

Step 4. Scroll through the colors until you reach black. As stated earlier, the black color on an AMOLED display would look as if the display has been turned off. Also comparatively, other colors would also look more vibrant on an AMOLED display as compared to an LCD.
