Samsung gets closer to building ‘QD-OLED’ TVs that rival LG’s OLED

[ad_1] While Samsung has become dominant in using OLED technology on mobile displays — even Apple uses its screens for iPhones — in TVs, the big name in OLED is its competitor, LG. LG’s TVs have wowed testers with their ability to control light precisely because each pixel is self-illuminating, unlike the “QLED” branded quantum […]

Test shows dark mode really can save battery life on OLED iPhones

[ad_1] At the end of the test the “light mode” iPhone XS was dead, while the one running dark mode still had 30 percent battery life.

Samsung will gladly help you check if your OLED TV has burn-in

[ad_1] Its YouTube video points out the types of visual vomit you should be on the lookout for when checking for burn-in (discoloration of pixels caused by static images).

Samsung’s Galaxy A90 5G delivers specs and super-fast connectivity

[ad_1] It would be a stretch, however, to call the A90 5G a mid-tier phone. It’s equipped with a Snapdragon 855 processor, up to 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage and a 6.7-inch, 1080p OLED display, just like we saw from an earlier leak.

Google’s Pixel 4 could have an extra-fast OLED screen

[ad_1] There might also be more camera tricks in store. It’s no secret that the Pixel 4 line will have dual rear cameras (a 12MP standard shooter and a 16MP telephoto, according to this leak), but the sources also talk of work on a “DSLR-like attachment” for the phones. It’s not certain if this is […]
