IPS or Super Amoled - which is better?

Modern smartphones You could even call it a computer of its own kind. Every detail of a smartphone is responsible for one or another of its functions. We won’t look at all the components of a modern smartphone, but let’s talk about its screen. Let's talk about what is better: an IPS or Super Amoled screen. First, let's briefly look at the characteristics and, in general, a general description of both types of screens. Let's start with IPS screens. This type was developed back in 1996. But screens of this type have gained popularity and widespread distribution only in today’s time.

IPS matrices are distinguished by high image clarity and accuracy. This type of screen is also in great demand because it perfectly conveys natural color reproduction. We can highlight the main advantages of IPS screens:

- natural color rendering;
- good level of brightness and color contrast;
- high image clarity (it is important to note that on screens of this type the pixel grid is practically invisible to the naked eye);
- low energy consumption, which has a positive effect on battery life;
- high resolution screens.

Let's move on to Super Amoled screens. They were developed much later than the previous ones. To be more precise, the first samples of screens of this type appeared only in 2009. It is immediately worth noting that Super Amoled matrices are very thin, and this, in turn, helps to increase their brightness.

Let's note the advantages of Super Amoled screens. There are also quite a lot of them and the main ones are listed below:

- excellent screen sensitivity;
- the brightest screens among all existing ones;
- high saturation of colors and shades;
- one of the largest viewing angles;
- ability to suppress solar glare;
- very long service life of screens. What conclusion can be drawn from all of the above? Both Super Amoled and IPS screens have high quality and features. But the choice of one screen or another depends only on the needs of the user.
