Xiaomi has surprised its brand followers by announcing that its flagship mobile devices will no longer have LCD screens. To be more clear, Redmi phones from the Note and K series, i.e., Xiaomi’s cheapest flagships, no longer have LCD screens. Therefore, it is reasonable to think that this decision will reach Xiaomi and POCO phones in the same price range.
If you want to know more about this change, the reasons behind the change and what this means for Redmi and Xiaomi in the future, be sure to read the article we prepared for you.
Redmi has bet on a product that pleases the masses
Thanks to an announcement by Redmi CEO Ethan Zhang Yu on the Weibo platform, Redmi’s flagship mobile phones are said to be ditching LCD screens forever. The executive expressed his sympathy to all the users who asked for more mobile phones with LCD screens on Weibo, but confirmed the decision to switch to AMOLED screens due to the superiority of this technology.
The executive flagship mobile can have an AMOLED panel because they have more color accuracy, better contrast and more. Completely pure black. And while it’s true that cell phones with LCD screens are prone to flickering, it’s worth noting that the difference in image quality is terrible, and AMOLED panels improve over time.
What does this change mean for the world of mobile phones?
It’s true that Redmi is famous for offering good quality phones at affordable prices and switching to AMOLED panels will probably increase the price of the new models a bit. However, this price increase is reflected in a better experience in image quality.
Redmi insists its strategy is to please the masses who want the best in technology, but can’t afford the exorbitant prices of the most popular brands. Therefore, by applying the AMOLED screen on their mobile phone, a large group of buyers will attract the choice of buying Redmi.
The future looks bright for Xiaomi, even though a small sector is probably disappointed with this Redmi’s decision to leave the LCD screen in the high-end range. The next generation Redmi flagship phones will enter a new era in terms of image quality and the only thing we can do as buyers is wait to see how this decision affects the company. Tell us in the comments what you think about the change that Redmi has decided to make.
