AMOLED vs LCD display technology is a long running dispute. One of the most commonly touted benefits of AMOLED is additional power saving when the display contains mostly black or darkened pixels. This is particularly important as displays are the biggest battery drainers, but is it really true? The theory behind this claim is quite simple. LEDs require less current when less brightly lit, and black pixels are just LEDs that are turned off, therefore requiring no power at all.

Apple launched the new iPhone 13 lineup just last week. The company’s latest Android flagship competitors come in four flavors — iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max.

We conducted a poll on our website to know what Android Authority readers think of the new iPhones.

Ever since the launch of Google Cardboard back in 2014, virtual reality has slowly been making its way to the masses.

Even before the launch of the LG G4 back in March, LG began teasing a new “super premium” flagship that would be launched sometime near the end of 2015. Although details have been pretty scarce up until roughly a few weeks ago, the South Korean company has finally taken the wraps off its newest high-end smartphone, the LG V10.

Who remembers the phone pictured above? It’s the LG G Flex 2, the second and last phone in LG’s experimental Flex range, which offered an interesting ergonomic curved display design and a self-healing back. Although the average consumer is now probably quite familiar with Samsung’s edge AMOLED display, LG was ahead of the curve with the Flex series, which made its debut in 2013 around the same time as Samsung’s now little-remembered Galaxy Round.
