The opposition between LCD and OLED was more acute and relevant in the early days of displays with LEDs, when they were not the height of perfection. Over the years, they have evolved and their prices have crept down. OLED panels are available in affordable devices from Xiaomi and Samsung.
Redmi K50 series will return to under-screen fingerprints
The trend towards OLED will only intensify and more and more smartphones with this type of display will appear on the market. Xiaomi will also have a hand in popularizing such screens. It is increasingly putting OLED panels in its devices. It was reported that the company is preparing two mid-range smartphones based on Snapdragon 778G and OLED displays with a high refresh rate. The source also emphasizes that the new devices will differ in thin and light cases, and will also receive an advanced version of an optical fingerprint sensor built into the screen.
In-screen fingerprint technology will increasingly appear in devices under the Redmi brand. The smartphones of the Redmi K50 series will also receive it. In total, they promise three models within the new family, where the top-end models will be awarded the Snapdragon 898 chipset; and the other two – the Snapdragon 888. They will also offer fast charging at 120 W; which not so long ago reached a mid-range device – Redmi Note 11 Pro +.
