Hey Questers!

Welcome to the fourth post of the #KYP (Know Your Phone) series.

The display is the face of your smartphone. It’s where everything comes alive — from binge-watching shows to gaming and scrolling social media.

Let’s decode what makes a display good or great!

🔍 What is a Smartphone Display?

A display is the component responsible for showing content — images, videos, apps, games, UI — everything you interact with visually. It's one of the most important factors for user experience.

🕰 A Quick Evolution

• TFT LCD (2000s): Flat, poor viewing angles
• IPS LCD (2010s): Better colors and brightness
• AMOLED: Deep blacks, high contrast, used in most modern smartphones
• LTPO AMOLED: Adaptive refresh rate & power efficient (found in premium phones)

🔁 Refresh Rate & Touch Sampling

• 60Hz: Standard
• 90Hz / 120Hz: Smooth scrolling & animation
• 144Hz / 165Hz: Gamers' delight
• Touch Sampling Rate: How quickly the screen responds to your touch (Higher = better in gaming)

🎨 Resolution & Display Size

• HD+ (720p): Entry-level
• FHD+ (1080p): Mid-range standard
• QHD+ (1440p): Flagships only

More resolution = more detail, but also more battery usage.

🔦 Display Features That Matter

✅ HDR10 / HDR10+ / Dolby Vision

✅ Brightness (measured in nits) – important for outdoor visibility

✅ Wide Color Gamut (DCI-P3)

✅ Eye Care Mode / DC Dimming (for eye protection)

📱 iQOO Display Examples

• iQOO Z9 – AMOLED, 120Hz, FHD+
• iQOO Neo 9 Pro – LTPO AMOLED, 144Hz
• iQOO 12 – 6.78" E7 AMOLED, QHD+, 144Hz, 3000 nits brightness!

💡 Pro Tips

• Prefer AMOLED or better for best visuals & battery savings
• Gamers: Go for 120Hz+ refresh rate
• If you're outdoors often, check peak brightness (nits)
• Watch HDR content? Look for HDR10+ support
