Having a mobile with one type of screen or another can have a great influence on the visual experience that we are going to enjoy with a smartphone.Basically, because each type of panel has a series of advantages and disadvantages.And it is something that many users do not pay enough importance or attention to when buying a new phone.However, this does not mean that there are important differences between them.In addition, before being able to know what their differences are and what technology is positioned in the first place compared to the others, it will be necessary to know what types of screens smartphone manufacturers use for their devices.So we will take a look at the different panels that we can find in the terminals so that you can choose the one that best suits what you are looking for the next time you change your phone.It is clear that we are facing one of the most important parts that we find in mobile phones.For this reason, it is the best time for us to define each of the technologies that can be found in a smartphone, just as we will see both its strengths and its weakest.In this way, we can quickly discover what type of display will be best for us.We start with LCD screens.This technology is what we can usually find in those terminals, since they are cheaper to manufacture and reduce costs when producing mobile devices.In this case we are talking about liquid crystal panels in which the pixels can modify a light source that reaches them to show the different colors on the screens.In addition, this type of display is divided into two other main ones, as is the case with IPS LCD and TFT LCD panels.The positive side of these IPS (In-Plane Switching) panels is that they are capable of achieving a very high quality representation of color, contrast and viewing angles.In addition to reducing the energy consumption of smartphones compared to other types.On the part of TFT LCD screens, their main advantage over the rest is that the manufacturing cost is quite optimal.OLED screens are very present today in a large part of high-end mobiles.And it is that this technology uses the general backlighting of the pixel panel, this means that its screens have a light-emitting diode for each pixel.So each pixel will be illuminated separately, giving a series of unique color, contrast and brightness characteristics.And as we will also see later in the world of AMOLED screens, blacks are also seen more and the image contrast is much better appreciated.In addition, within these panels we find the P-OLED.This technology owes the letter P to the plastic with which they are manufactured.Thanks to the inclusion of this last material, they are thinner and more malleable.However, it still keeps the more traditional OLED technology intact.AMOLED technology, an acronym for Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode, which uses organic materials that emit light when electricity is applied.In addition, it is important to emphasize that it is based on OLED technology, although it cannot display the pure black tones of OLED panels.Mobile devices that have this technology on their screens will be able to show us bright, thin, flexible and efficient images.A striking point of this technology is that it illuminates each pixel only when activated electronically, that is, AMOLED screens are always off unless individual pixels are turned on.Another characteristic factor of these screens is that they have purer blacks, which lead to less energy consumption when black or darker colors are displayed on the screen.In addition, they have great flexibility that allows companies to bring out devices with curved screens.Super AMOLED screens arrived with the intention of replacing the original AMOLED ones.These new panels have less thickness, more powerful brightness, purer colors, better viewing angles and lower power consumption.Therefore, as a result, we find a quite important improvement in these screens, which will offer us sharper, purer and more colorful images with reduced battery consumption.Keep in mind that saturation on AMOLED and OLED screens can make us more tired.Although, these screens will require less energy and are capable of providing us with a much more intense black color since they do not receive any type of backlight.Another key difference is that OLED and AMOLED panels have higher degradation than IPS LCD screens.It is estimated that these first two have a maximum life of 14,000 hours, while the IPS can easily have a useful life of up to 60,000 hours.In addition, we will detail other changes later that will help you choose a final winner among these three types of panels.The brightness on these panels does not change much when it comes to maximum brightness.These displays perform well in all situations.Like, for example, before a high light or while we are with the mobile and the sun is hitting it, because these three panels manage to look good since they have a really good maximum brightness.Although, in this case, the brightness offered by OLED and AMOLED panels is lower compared to LCD screens.The difference in intensity will be visible, leaving the opponent closer to gray or white.In any case, this will not be one of the key points to take into account.Here is the main feature in which these types of technology differ.An aspect for which we can opt more or less for one panel than for another.In the case of AMOLED and OLED screens, the image we see will take the whiter colors towards slightly yellowish tones.While the IPS LCD screens will take the white color to a more realistic tone.The fact that AMOLED panels are more saturated entails an increase in color temperature, but also more vivid and striking colors.And, consequently, we must talk about the temperature that the image on the screen gives us, since it is the deviation of tone that a color has.Therefore, it must be understood that a cold temperature means that the colors displayed are deviated towards bluish tones, compared to a hot temperature, in which the colors have a more orange tone.In this case, the AMOLED and OLED panels show a more saturated image, which leads us to have a temperature with more orange tones.Returning to the same thing, an IPS LCD screen manages to show us more realistic image results than its two opponents.Although it is true that in the first two we will have a more vivid imageAfter seeing each of the advantages and the points against the different types of mobile screens that we can find.The truth is that another fundamental point when choosing a phone with one type of panel or another is the repair cost that the screen will cost us in case it breaks a little or completely.And it is that, as we have already been warning you, the cheapest in the world of smartphones are LCD screens.Although, we have also seen that they offer us a worse quality.In the case of OLEDs, they are somewhere in between, as they are not as cheap or as expensive as AMOLEDs.Well, this last type of technology is the one that will cost us the most money to repair or replace in case the mobile display is completely broken.Touch the final decision to choose which of the three is the best option when buying a new terminal.And although we are dealing with three types of very high-quality display technology, there are very clear differences.It will also depend on the advantages that we want to have when it comes to having one technology or another in the mobile device that we are going to buy.Basically, because each type of screen will offer us some benefits or others, as well as points against.So it is clear that there is no clear answer from the beginning, as we would like.Their respective advantages are striking, although in the case of OLED screens and their AMOLED variant, it is clear that they consume less energy and have a fairly good resolution, showing very vivid colors.However, it has already become clear to us that the type of LCD panel is cheaper and, after all, they are the classic format, although the battery of the smartphone that has this display will last less.Therefore, each type has its pros and cons, as we have seen, so the final choice will depend on each user, depending on the tastes and the money we want to spend.In any case, if what you are looking for is a screen that shows us very vivid colors, your best option will be a mobile with an OLED or AMOLED panel.On the other hand, if you want a greater verisimilitude in color, an IPS LCD screen will be the one that best suits your tastes.So, finally, everything will depend on the tastes of each person and their budget.
