720p is pretty solid on small screens when you’re holding it ~2-3ft away. 1080p would be more ideal for sure, but I wouldn’t be that disappointed if it means better battery and performance.
Yeah that sucks but if it’s a brighter high nits LCD screen than i might prefer that more on a portable device than the deep blacks of OLED. I use my OLED tv when I play at home anyway.
It is very hard to get low resolution small oled screens. Cell phones use pentile displays that are about 60% the actual RGB resolution of the input they need. You would be looking at it needing to be outputting in the 4k range on a 1440p ish display to use off the shelf parts.
If you wqnted to have a 1080p RGB oled it would need to be about 11" and that is too big. It would also have burn in issues with any reasonable brightness.

Can’t believe it’s not OLED
They will release an OLED Edition 5 years after so you can buy it again.
Jokes on you I’ll be the 0.1% that wait till before the switch 3 to buy.
that could be literally 10 years from now
Yea so by then I’ll have a substantial backlog haha.
Lcd would be fine at a higher resolution imo. But… Are they staying with 720p again?

Yeah I can see that. I feel like 1080lcd may be the best compromise.

I can’t believe it’s not butter
It hasn’t been announced yet. Up to this point, everyone is just guessing.
