Samsung’s Dynamic AMOLED: much more than just a punch-hole

The new Samsung Galaxy S10 range marks a number of firsts for the company, one of the most important firsts is the debut of the company’s new Dynamic AMOLED display technology. The panel grabbed our attention with its Infinity-O cut-out , but there’s a lot more to the new Galaxy S10 display than meets the eye. Before diving deeper into some more technical features, let’s start with an overview of the panel specifications. The display hits a new high for peak brightness, offering a whopping 1,200 nits of retina-scorching light. That’s up 13 percent from the Samsung Galaxy S9 and ensures that outdoor viewing, even in bright sunlight, shouldn’t be a problem. The panel also sports a deep 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio for detailed blacks and highlights.

TCL had several foldable phone concepts on display during the show, and Royole was back showing off the FlexPai. Not wanting to be left out, Oppo got in on the action by informally announcing its own foldable phone over Weibo. Let’s take a closer some of the foldable phones shown off during MWC 2019.

Today's prayer: Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

Psalm 57 King James Version (KJV) 57 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. 2  I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me. 3  He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. 4  My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. 5  Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth. 6  They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah. 7  My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. 8  Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I my
