General characteristics

IPS vs OLED

IPS is more common in modern devices and is cheaper for the manufacturer. But when you deviate from the perpendicular, the screen loses color brightness.

OLED leads the way in blacks, uses less battery and is thinner than its rival. However, flickering is inherent in this type. Only at the highest screen brightness can this drawback be eliminated.

IPS screens provide more natural color reproduction, OLED has bright, acidic shades. The best manufacturers can solve these problems with additional settings.

OLED matrices face the problem of screen burnout, that is, the most active sensors cannot quickly go out. There is no such effect in IPS.
