Welcome to Day 3 of the #TechTermsSimplified series. Today, let’s talk colors—because when it comes to your smartphone display, more bits = more beauty. 🌈📱

🎨 What is a "bit" in Displays?

A “bit” in display technology refers to how many color shades a screen can show per channel (Red, Green, Blue).

• 8-bit Display = 256 shades per color
• 10-bit Display = 1024 shades per color

Combined, this means:

Bit DepthTotal Colors

8-bit~16.7 million colors

10-bit~1.07 billion colors 🎨🔥

Yes — 1 BILLION colors!

📸 Why Does 10-bit Matter?

✅ Smoother Color Gradients

✅ More Realistic HDR Videos

✅ No Banding or Color Steps

✅ Better for Editing, Watching Movies, and Gaming

With 10-bit, sunsets look warmer, shadows look deeper, and skin tones feel more natural.

📺 Where Will You See the Difference?

• Watching HDR10+ / Dolby Vision content
• Viewing high-quality photos
• Playing visually rich AAA mobile games
• Using the phone outdoors (better contrast)

Example: iQOO smartphones with AMOLED panels like the iQOO 11 support 10-bit displays, giving you vibrant, immersive visuals.

🧠 Quick Analogy:

8-bit display is like a crayon set, while 10-bit is like a professional artist's palette — more shades, smoother transitions, better art. 🖌️

So next time you see "10-bit Display" in specs, know that you're looking at a display made for visual excellence.
