IPS vs AMOLED, Redmi Note 8 PRO obliterate my OnePlus 6 - General Topics

As title.
I have a Redmi Note 8 PRO and a OnePlus 6 side by side, same high resolution video, maximum brightness.
Redmi Note 8 PRO obliterate the OnePlus 6 in terms of color accuracy and specially in video definition.
IPS shows so much more details that I loose on my AMOLED.
Ok AMOLED have some advantage in dark areas but the overall quality is way better in the IPS display.
We are comparing a low end phone with an high end of two years ago. Don't think that newer amoled are way better than mine.

Display quality?

Display quality on a touch screen phone is something that is very important to me because all interaction with the phone is on the display. In my opinion, the quality of the display is one of those factors that can make or break the experience of using a phone.
Apparently the display in the Honor 8 is different than the Huawei P9 so my questions is, how does the Honor 8 display quality compare to the P9?
My experience with an in-store P9 sample unit was that it has a very clear, crisp display with good color reproduction. The whites look very good, brightness was good and even though it only has a 1080p resolution, the pixels are nearly indiscernible. In general it seemed to be very impressive for an IPS LCD display.
Does the Honor 8 have an equally good display or is it noticeably inferior, albeit only slightly?
honor is a little better I think...
better only samsung s6/s7 mostly because resolution...
The best screen quality you can get on the market is from Samsung, i assume that your budget is limited, but you can find a decent Samsung's phone for a decent price.
Side by side you can notice the p9 has better colors than the honor 8. But overall in performance they are up to par.. But the p9 IS $100-$200 more than the honor 8.. I wouldn't spend two benjamins for a slighty better display The display on the honor 8 is more than sharp enough.
display is nice for the price tag, bt the display on the one plus3 and p9 is better.
I would not say the Oneplus 3 has a better display because it it 1080p and Amoled which is a very bad combination. It's not sharp. The screen on Honor 8 is good and has good color contrast. It also gets very bright and pretty easy to see in the sunlight. I have no complaints. I have not compared it to a P9 unfortunately.

Oneplus 3 has a pentile panel, which means not a true 1080p display

I agree with you, but don't forget the more powerful CPU

Yep yep. Pentile needs 1440p to look sharp above 5" or so.

You're right, but for the oneplus 3's is enough for me, no need to QuadHD unless it was a tablet
Just got the Honor 8, (great device overall) but I'm disappointed in the screen viewing angles, especially black get greyish, and other colors also lose their vibrancy. Comparing it to my old HTC M8 and Xperia X Compact, Honor 8's display is no match. That is, the viewing angles. Viewing the display from front it's a good display. I really hoped it would have Huawei p9's display.
I don't mind viewing angles, as long as it's a good display when I look at it directly
viewing angles are indeed a little problem with honor 8
I think they're using an older gen IPS display
i dont think its an olg gen IPS, considering the excellent color saturation on the display
Waiting for display mate review on honor 8
looking forward to it

Lol, poor honor

Now I see why people are saying viewing angles are bad on honor 8

Is the 10+ display brighter then the n9

Hi I've still got my note 9 till the jiffy bag come for it and next to my note 10 plus when watching the same hdr video on both displays the note 9 seems to get quite a bit brighter is this something to do with note 10 calibration as I thought the note 10 was the brighter display
Thanks
Yes, the Note 10 plus display was tested and beat the Note 9 in every category. It is currently ranked the number one display in all smart phones.

How come when side by side when watching the same video the note 9 seems alot brighter with both phones having the same settings ect
I've done this and it seems a bit better just the note 9 seems more vivid and brighter on videos am I right in assuming it's the way the note 10 is calabrated?
Just watching hdr videos on youtube the note 9 definitely brighter and more punchy side by side but both in the setting menu ect they both seem equal (maybe the note 9 slightly brighter)
Is there a reason for this of might I have a defect I'm thinking it maybe something to do with Samsung removing more of the blue light in the dynamic amoled and been calibrated differently
Just want some confirmation before I send my note 9 back to samsung lol does anyone still have there note 9 to compare
Many thanks
Right just had both displays with adaptive brightness Same setting ect and shines a light to them both and the note 10 definitely get brighter then the note 9 so I'm assuming the dimmer video on youtube ect is down to Samsung going for a more natural look
Just hope in the future they bring back adaptive setting so we can have the more punchy colours because vivid isnt a patch on adaptive setting on the note 9:silly:
Note9 vivid is on by default. Note10 is normal by default
Then you have to add you may "unlocked" the last 10% of the Note9 for brightness and You didn't with the Note10.
My Note10 is about the same brightness than my Note9 fresh out of the box both is vivid and normal mode. I didn't unlock the last 10%

I've put both phones in performance mode put the note 9 in adaptive mode and the note 10 in vivid
The note 9 is still brighter and more vivid in videos compared to my note 10 I think it's the whole "natural" look samsung is going for I briefly had the xperia 1 and that was the same next tom my note 9
Just seem a little washed out the note 10 next to the note 9

Hi mate, well it's seems its not only mine note 10 plus it's a little bit washed in color, I bought in the beginning of this month, make all the updates, inclusive android 10 and reset after, my note 9 too android 10 and reset, and start comparing both, and notice the screen looks better in note 9, I even go to store to compare to others news, and it's the same, it's seems more vivid and accurate, both with QHD and note 10 plus seems in FHD, but that it's not the major problem, its the blacks, but only in low light, I noticed low light note 9 are more blacks, and note 10 are more dark grey, I don't know if it is because the screen is more bright outdoors or need a update, or dinamic amoled Is very different from super amoled, note 10 don't have the option of adaptive display, could be one of the reasons.
I,m using yet the note note9, because I was thinking in trade for a new one.
Do you still have both phones?
Thanks

Hi I dont have the note 9 no more but I've compared the note 10 plus to the missues iPhone 11 pro max and the iphone seems to be the brighter display and the whites on the iphone are incredible (just my opinion)
It really shows when playing hdr via youtube the iphone display crushes my note 10 in terms of brightness and colours popping
Not sure why I've tried tweaking around but the display just doesnt compare
I personally think it's something to do with the blue light filter samsung added to there dynamic panels and possible loading adaptive display mode didn't help lol
I'd still chose my note over the iPhone though

Mi Note 10 or Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro?

Hello Community !
I rly dont know what is better, i saw awesome cam shots and videos made with the Mi Note 10 but the Poco F2 Pro is newer and yea ... is it better? I dont know, what do you guys think? Some of you have already some month this Mi Note 10 Phone and whats your opinion about it?
I hope you can help me a little bit
- https://www.mi.com/de/poco-f2-pro/ (8k recording, Snapdragon™
865 , 5G connection, 4700mAh, full display without a notch etc)
- https://www.mi.com/de/mi-note-10/
i was about to get the poco f2 aswell, but decided for the mi note 10 LITE (350€).
the camera sensor on the mi note 10 LITE would be the same like on the poco f2. Sony IMX686 which seems perfect for GCam mods.
the normal note 10 has a samsung sensor, which is "better" specs wise. but i heard multiple times that many prefer the sony sensor in the note 10 LITE (gcam advantages).
regarding the mi note 10 (lite):
performance is perfectly fine on the snapdragon 730g. [email protected] is max. here. i dont miss anything when it comes to performance (iam not a gamer though!).
battery is now even better on android 10 what i have heard. usually getting 8-10h SoT
5g is a useless feature for me. 4g is far enough and it can reach higher distances.
notch can be hidden via UI settings.
if you need massive gaming performance and 8k recording, the s865 is a must then.
As for the main sensors I dont think there is noticeable difference. (IMO sony probably the better choice when using gcam).
The main difference is that with note 10 you get OIS, which you don't get with poco f2. And you also get zoom camera with OIS.
Poco f2 will probably have better and faster processing due to the SD865, which assists HDR prosessing and video. It also has a decent macro camera.
So it is a close race, I'd probably say the note 10 has the most versatile camera system with OIS. But else the poco wins in every aspect. Better performance, no-notch screen, better batterytime ( note 10 battery time is not so impressive despite the large battery, my mi 9t with 4000mah last longer for example).
regarding the battery questions, which was quite important to me:
https://www.chinahandys.net/xiaomi-mi-note-10-lite-testbericht/#akku
https://www.chinahandys.net/poco-f2-pro-testbericht/#akkulaufzeit
Note10LITE > Note10 > POCOF2
As for the note 10 lite you get a downgrade on almost all cameras vs note 10.
No OIS is the most noticeable one. But also downgraded ultrawide, selfie and no zoom.
If want a god camera Note 10 , if not No one, better a Oneplus 7 pro , poco its ok but ith the price 350 eu not 500 3u like a 7pro.
Mi note 10 with 350/400 eu its the best camera phone overall...
Hi DerSky1,
I have both phones here in my hands. Since january this year i was using the Note 10, and I was ordering the Poco F2 Pro, arriving last week.
What is bad about the Note 10?:
-Processor, lags on webpages with lot of advertisment ****.
-Processor, 108MP Pictures take some time to be processed, so you have to wait to shoot the next, as well as to see you shot after taking...
-fingerprint scanner seems to be more slowly than on Poco F2 pro
What is bad about the Poco F2 Pro?:
-The displays color accuracy is not as good as on the Note 10 (more blue)
-No FM-Radio
- IMX686 Sony Sensor is tiny compared to the Samsung 108Mpx from the Note, resulting in, i would say not as good pictures...
What makes no difference:
- batterie lasts same on both phones
-Size is similar, Poco is a bit longer
- Note 10 has a curved display, poco f2 not.
-Charging Speed in real life is very similar.
- 5G in Poco as there is no area wide 5G network in Germany for the next 2 years at least
My conclusion:
Sell the Poco, think of getting a Mi 10, or wait until note 11... hopefully with SD 765G
Fell free to ask further questions.

Gsm arena review of the poco f2, as expected.the batterylife is excellent, and beating mi note 10 ( and all other sd865 phones!)
Bit conserning is the inconsistent camera performance. This could have been better if it had OIS.

Glad I got the Mi Note 10 Pro, I had actually ordered the F2 Pro, but at the beggining of the shipment was damage and the seller decided to cancel the purchase I made. I was nervous about the review of the F2 pro on YouTube because they switched out the telephoto camera that was in the Redmi K30 Pro Zoom, and switch out the lens with a Macro Camera, which I have little interest in. After the shiment was cancelled, I ordered the Mi Note 10 Pro. What I really lime about the F2 pro reminds me of when I owned the Mi 9T, and I love you have more options to change the color of the pop-up camere, which the Mi 9T only have one color - (depending of the color of the phone you purchased).
After owning the Xiaomi Mi 9T, which sports the same chip as the Mi Note 10/10 Pro, the battery size was the only let down, the mid range chipset is more than acceptable YouTube and media consumption. Since its an Amoled screen, I rather use a PC or console or tablet only because I prefer not to over use Amoled screens in general = screen burns. I really love the camera on the Mi Note 10 Pro, the curved screen took some time to get used too, esoecially the texting. The texting gotten better once choosing to expanding the edge accidental touch option.. But once I slapped on a slim TPU screen protector on, the screen feels amazing. Have tried a tempered glass on the Mi Note 10, those screens do jot work and takes away from the screen sensitivity. TPU and Hydrogel is the way to go.
The battery usage is amazing and after tweaking more with the CPU processor to 300Mhz minimum, and adb shell-ing out useless apps. I can say this phone is worth getting. Using the latest Xiaomi EU is amazing, I also have tried Miui 12 weekly 5.28, I like the smooth zooming capabilities of the telephoto cameras. The high screen refresh rate take some getting use to, the sooth movements makes my eyes hurt a bit, haha. Feels a bit "too" buttery smooth, but the positive side to the situation is the smooth scrolling in web pages, apps and in general. The smooth scrolling eliminate any microlags left behind from Miui 11, and that is a huge plus ( using Xiaomi Eu 5.28) I am sure Miui 12 will get much better, especially with this phone.
I don't particularly go for high end phones, but.........If the Poco brand release the Poco F2 Pro Zoom, then it will be worth buying only because I love the Xiaomi Mi 9T.
I also came from Mi 9T (best all-round/bang for buck phone 2019 IMO), mainly for OIS in the MI note 10.
And my observations (compared to 9T); battery life of mi note 10 noticeably worse despite larger battery. This has improved with android 10, but still not what I'd expect from the battery size (maybe the visionox amoled display is more power hungry?). Not really much improvement from the main camera in most situations (Using gcam on both phones) but easier to get better night shots, but more versatile camera system overall for mi note 10 of course. Mi note 10 has better quality display, but with the hated notch! And I do not really enjoy the curved egdes that gives distorted image quality along the edges, but I can live with it.
And I agree, it is a pity that poco f2 is not based on the zoom edition. OIS + zoom camera is a major dealbreaker.

Very true, I would be great if they release a Pro edition. Meanwhile it seems like the Mi Note 10 will have another variant with a Snapdragon 775 and 12x optical zoom, possibly with periscope zoom. Plus support for 120x digital zoom. For sure when more details will be reveal soon, I will definitely stick with this phone until its succesor arrive.
I realy love the Mi 9T too, the experience with that device was similar ti when I had the Mi Mix with its 4500mah and full screen.

contrast ratio matters

the pixel 5 has 1,000,000:1 vs the 4a 5G that has 100,000:1
Its good that the more expensive Pixel 5 have better components ie screen, speakers, vibration motor.
Just hope Pixel 5 does not look like that Pixel 4a 5G compared to my Note 10 when it arrives!
I just received mine, and I hope it's a bug but the colors have no punch, it's a little washed up (I'm coming from a one plus 3t). But their is little to no differences between color modes, so maybe something is not working as it should...

Question Display Quality ?

I have heard from lot of people that poco's display quality is less than average is it true ? I wanted to buy this phone pls tell me if I should or not ^_^
The display is probably one of the weakest features of Poco X3 Pro, for me at least. IPS LCD, 450 nits, so the max brightness is just "average". Indoor use is completely fine but outside, much more difficult to see your display easily. There is no problem with the resolution or picture quality itself btw, these are both excellent. The display size is also outstanding at 6.67 inches. I am simply making reference to the brightness level which I find not poor, but just average. Any phone with an AMOLED display will easily crush the Poco X3 Pro. For example, in the same price range, you can get Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro. This has an AMOLED display. So if display feauture is very important to you, consider this or something else instead. Where Poco X3 Pro shines is the excellent CPU, GPU and fast UFS 3.1 storage. Ultimately, these were more important features for me. But only you can decide what features are most important for you.
The screen is very good. I'm an amoled guy and I was worried about moving to an IPS screen but the contrast ratio is excellent and blacks are really black. I'm very happy with the screen. The only issue are there is a little bit of ghosting when you are scrolling text and the brightness is only 450 nits. Apart from that all is good.
