Can’t believe it’s not OLED
They will release an OLED Edition 5 years after so you can buy it again.
Jokes on you I’ll be the 0.1% that wait till before the switch 3 to buy.
that could be literally 10 years from now
Yea so by then I’ll have a substantial backlog haha.
Lcd would be fine at a higher resolution imo. But... Are they staying with 720p again?
720p is pretty solid on small screens when you're holding it ~2-3ft away. 1080p would be more ideal for sure, but I wouldn't be that disappointed if it means better battery and performance.
Yeah I can see that. I feel like 1080lcd may be the best compromise.
Yeah that sucks but if it’s a brighter high nits LCD screen than i might prefer that more on a portable device than the deep blacks of OLED. I use my OLED tv when I play at home anyway.
It is very hard to get low resolution small oled screens. Cell phones use pentile displays that are about 60% the actual RGB resolution of the input they need. You would be looking at it needing to be outputting in the 4k range on a 1440p ish display to use off the shelf parts.
If you wqnted to have a 1080p RGB oled it would need to be about 11" and that is too big. It would also have burn in issues with any reasonable brightness.
I can't believe it's not butter
It hasn’t been announced yet. Up to this point, everyone is just guessing.
