Well known leaker Jon Prosser has shared aleaked spec sheetfor both the upcoming Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro.
Amongthese specswere their screen sizes, camera setups, and the types of displays that they would use.
“A plastic-OLED is basically an OLED made on a plastic substrate, which enables it to be flexible.
“Normal users won’t see much difference,” he continued.
Originally launched in 2017, the Pixel 2 XLsuffered from a series of display-related issueslike image retention.
Unlike burn-in, though, image retention goes away after a while.
There were also issues reported with thedisplay seeming more bluethan usual when the phone was viewed at certain angles.
“POLED displays are most likely going to become the norm for devices like smartphones.
They’re cheaper to produce and on the whole more durable,” Costa explained in an email.
Costa says knowing the displays are made using plastic can lead to users having a negative perception of it.
Ultimately, though, Costa says the difference will be negligible to everyday users.
“We’ve also seen very few glass-free screens.
Usually there’s still a protective layer over the POLED, so your phone screen can still shatter.
If that glass barrier isn’t there, you’ll also find POLED displays far easier to scratch.”
