Xiaomi presented just a month ago the new Xiaomi Mi 10T boasting great performance features, processor, camera and battery. However, the screen is somewhat behind expectations and users have criticized that mobile phones of these characteristics reach the stores with a “simple” LCD screen.
It is clear that the Mi 10T from Xiaomi are two of the best 5G phones that can be obtained around 500 euros. The two phones, the standard and the Pro, boast inside a Snapdragon 865 chipset with a powerful camera system with 64 or 108 MP sensors at the head and a large battery with fast charging.
However, among this spectacular set of features, the presence of an LCD screen rather than an OLED screen with a high refresh rate “squeaks”. Given the controversy surrounding this aspect (somewhat bland, on the other hand) the head of product marketing at Xiaomi , Daniel Hoang Desjarlais, stated that; “It is better to have a high-quality LCD screen than a mid-range AMOLED panel . “
Is the LCD panel of the Xiaomi Mi 10T better than a conventional AMOLED display?
But the Xiaomi executive also mentioned eyestrain as a reason for opting for LCD technology. “There are problems with AMOLED panels and the eyes of certain people. About 10% of the population, when they look at an AMOLED screen, experience great visual fatigue.” Honestly, this sounds like an unsustainable excuse considering that Xiaomi does use panels of this type in other top of the range such as those of the Mi 10 series.
The ones that the brand does not say and that is equally sincere and valid is that the price is a definite element to use these LCD panels instead of AMOLED in the Xiaomi Mi 10T and in the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro . Logically, the cost of using a panel of these characteristics in the smartphone manages to reduce the cost of components and manufacturing and to be able to launch a cheaper mobile on the market.
In addition, Hoang Desjarlais also explained that they opted for a flat screen over a curved panel, noting that according to their surveys, “60% of users prefer flat or flat-edge screens,” something they agree on. other brands like OnePlus, as has been seen with its OnePlus 8T.
