LCD vs. AMOLED: The Core Difference
- LCD (Liquid Crystal Display): Known for durability and affordability. It offers consistent brightness but lacks deep contrast.
- AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic LED): Produces vivid colors, dybere sorte, and better energy efficiency. It’s more premium but costly.
I 2020, Redmi began experimenting with AMOLED on select models — especially those targeting the mid-to-high-end markets like the Redmi 10X Pro og K30 Pro.
Global vs. China Variants
If you ever wondered why a Redmi Note 9 Pro in India looks different from one in China, you’re not alone. Xiaomi’s regional differentiation strategy caused major confusion in 2020.
For instance:
- De Redmi 10X 5G in China used an AMOLED screen and a Dimensity chip,
- De global Note 9 Pro relied on Snapdragon 720G and an LCD panel.
Even the colors and design finishes varied significantly by market — reflecting each region’s style preferences.
