Emir BardakçıToday, the future of LCD-equipped mobile phones was heatedly discussed among netizens. Well-known tech blogger Digital Chat Station gave an unequivocal answer: “It’s dead, there will be no high-performance LCD mobile phones, only low-end hundred-yuan phones.”
High-Performance LCD Phones Come to an End
According to the blogger, the producers of mobile phones have abandoned plans for the production of high-performance LCD devices. Later, LCD screens will appear only in low-end smartphones for about 100 yuan. This corresponds to the current trends when OLED displays have dominated the middle and premium segments due to their better visual quality, thinner design, and higher efficiency.
OPPO, OnePlus, and Realme: Future Display Trends
He also disclosed some display design information on the upcoming Xiaomi, OPPO, OnePlus, and Realme smartphones under the series commonly referred to as the Ouga series:
- Mid-range Models: The mid-range smartphones will be set with 1.5K equal-depth four-curved screens starting from Q1 2025. And such a design will also feature a more symmetric display because of its “physical four-equilateral” shape.
- Flagship Models: High-end devices could sport a 2.5D straight screen, physically four-equal-sided, too. For the flagships, 1.5K and 2K screen resolutions are expected from the manufacturers.
OPPO Find X8 Ultra and Display Choices
He responded to questions about the OPPO Find X8 Ultra, hinting that its screen design will reference the OnePlus 13 series-one more step toward aligning with the trend toward premium display aesthetics. The other discussion was on whether flagship devices would wear pure straight screens.
According to the explanation given by the blogger, though straight screens would compete with Apple, imaging would be a little worse compared with other flagship Pro variants but still better than the standard version.
OLED Continues to Lead
It seems like, with the gradual phasing out of high-performance LCD screens, the smartphone industry has shifted to OLED displays for every major mid-range and flagship device in the lineup. The LCD will be there in the low-end segment, but its spell in performance-oriented models is over. While Xiaomi and other brands are worried about the development of OLED technology, providing better visual experiences with the introduction of some really innovative display designs in their upcoming models. More to come on these evolving trends!
And yet they didnt fix the screeburn on amoled oled lmfao its like theyre purposely implement those to buy another phones when the issue happens and dont forgot those display are not cheaper than lcd
oled display prone to get screen burn and screen line issue, they should focus on fixing it for better innovation
I’m more interested on Xiaomi’s tablets getting OLED. When is that going to happen?
I hope never
Dawg they better not, cuz the only reason I buy xiaomi phones is the LCDs as most of the OLEDs cause me eye strain.
Besides the fact OLEDs have better colours & contrast but that doesn’t really matter to me personally.
OLED sure is high efficiency in producing line on screen, my family alone got 5 device with line on screen. Fix this common issue first this money grubbers company. My phone is not even midrange, all is flagship model which is expensive, after 1 or 2 years forming line on screen which is absurd. Warranty also not cover after that 1 year short warranty, now I dont even want to buy oled phone but it seems it is impossible now. I thought paying premium price will get premium device with good service, but instead get a shitty phone quality
