Oppo's Reno8 Pro 5G is a well-designed device that has some features one associates with a high-end device, and others that belong lower on the scale.

Six days ahead of its launch, details of the OnePlus Nord, the next device from the well-known Chinese smartphone maker, have been revealed by its global director Carl Pei during a chat with popular American gadget reviewer Marques Brownlee aka mkhbd.

Samsung's new 2019 smartphones are here, with the top-end models set to require a lot of the folding stuff to acquire, with a new folding phone, new S10 models, 5G, wearables and more.

The confirmation of Samsung Display (SDC) as Apple’s AMOLED panel supplier for the iPhone 8 devices has led to other smartphone brands and panel makers aggressively investing in this display technology.

Reddit users have reported a “faint ghosting to the edges of the screen” when horizontal black lines are displayed on the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+, which I can’t replicate on an S7.

OPPO has stretched its mid-market, class-leading 5.5” R9s to a 6” Plus size and added optical image stabilisation, a 4000mAh battery, Gorilla Glass 5, the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 653 processor, 6GB RAM and 64GB storage.

Leading smartphone makers may have to increase prices because they have been too successful. By creating a demand for premium features like AMOLED screens, more RAM, faster UFS storage, and stronger materials, they have created shortages of these products.

OPPO’s new R9s is a premium, mid-range smartphone focusing on camera performance, battery life, a 5.5” AMOLED screen, VOOC fast charging, and a new “six-string” antenna that blends into the all metal construction.

Apple will not use an AMOLED screen in its soon to be released iPhone 7 – it could not get enough panels even if it wanted to.

Rumours are that Apple’s iPhone 8 will move to an AMOLED panel, if only to improve battery life. Other tablet, monitor, and notebook designers are having to ‘take a number and wait’ as AMOLED demand vastly outstrips supply.

As Samsung's Galaxy Tab launched yesterday in India, Samsung was launching a 7-inch AMOLED screen and a 10.1-inch prototype tablet at the Flat Panel Displays (FPD) 2010 expo in Japan, giving users a glimpse into Galaxy Tab versions circa 2011!

Samsung's transparent AMOLED technology is set to launch within the next 12 months, but is it the 'next big thing'?
