I think the screen is the most powerful, indeed, a thin screen seems simple but the most affecting the interactive experience of the mobile phone, whether it is a smooth touch experience, eye-friendly display effect, or the battery life of the mobile phone, the screen plays the most critical role.
In recent years, the focus of manufacturers' involution is nothing more than performance and image, but the selection of screens is mediocre. Especially in the mid-range models, either the screen is castrated for the cost, or it is to play "word games" when promoting, we, as consumers, should pay attention to what aspects of the mobile phone screen when purchasing?
Take the most mainstream screen types at present, LTPO screen and LTPS screen, but from the name, the only difference between the two is in the synthetic material process, "S" stands for the use of laser heating to generate polysilicon process, as the earliest screen technology, LTPS's advantage is that it has a mature and stable production process, and the cost is low, which also makes it the preferred technology for most low-end mobile phones, but the disadvantage is that the power consumption is too high, which will lead to unstable battery life of the mobile phone.
And "O" stands for the addition of the oxidation process on the basis of the original, compared with LTPS, the advantages brought by LTPO are also obvious, in addition to greatly reducing the screen power consumption, LTPO can also greatly improve the quality of screen display, the intelligent effect adjustment effect is also incomparable to the LTPS screen, especially the support of dynamic refresh rate, LTPO can be based on different user scenarios, from 1~120Hz dynamically adjusts the screen refresh rate, reduces power consumption at low frequencies and ensures battery life, and is dedicated to high-frequency entertainment without losing the experience.
If there is a better choice for a mobile phone screen, LTPO screens are superior, the only downside is that they are more expensive, with reports showing that low-temperature polycrystalline oxides (LTPO) cost up to $8 more than low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS). Therefore, most manufacturers prefer to use LTPO TFT panels on flagship models, such as iPhone 14 Pro Max and Samsung S23 Ultra.
And with the involution of manufacturers, the current LTPO screen is no longer the flagship standard, such as the upcoming OnePlus Ace3, although it is positioned in the mid-range, but OnePlus uses the same LTPO screen as the flagship on the mobile phone, and fully popularizes the flagship-level screen configuration, such a leapfrog experience must be unique at the same price.
According to OnePlus's official warm-up, it can be seen that OnePlusAce3will be the first to launch1.5K oriental screen, using BOE X1 substrate, the screen quality is fully inherited from OnePlus12Flagship, in addition to2160HzPWM high-frequency dimming and 3Pulse/1Pulse eye protection technology, this screen also uses8T LTPO circuit design,After OnePlus's in-depth tuning,OnePlusAce3The oriental screen gives full play to the advantages of LTPO,It has a smoother touch experience and lower power consumption,A simple sliding operation,8T LTPOThe power consumption is about 20%-30% lower than LTPS,Extend the battery life of the mobile phone to a greater extent。
It is worth noting that OnePlus executive Li Jie also agreed with the popularity of LTPO screens, as he said, "LTPO is the future trend of screens, and it is an important symbol used to distinguish flagship screens from mid-range screens." It's standard for all high-end flagship screen experiences. Without LTPO, don't talk about flagship screens. "Don't talk about the experience and parameters, it's all hooligans, like a 2K resolution + LTPS combination, it looks good, but it is accompanied by higher power consumption, and the battery life of the mobile phone will be very stretched, such a combination is more of a marketing gimmick. What do you think about the popularization of LTPO screens in the mid-range price range?
