The rivalry between LCD and OLED displays is mostly a thing of the past, but that doesn’t mean that mobile display technology stands still. Today, we’re firmly in the territory of different varieties of OLED technology vying for top spot, whether that’s the dynamic refresh rate of LTPO or the brightness perks of white-OLED subpixels.

LG Display is introducing a new contender with its latest Hybrid Tandem OLED structure, which promises 15% lower power consumption than conventional OLED panels. This is great news for smartphones, where displays are among the largest battery drainers during screen-on time. If your phone is still struggling to make it through a full day, this could be a key spec to keep an eye out for in your next smartphone.
