AMOLED vs LCD drop durability?

[Nena Trinity]

It seems most phones with AMOLED I have seen does not appear to have external damage after dropped, yet they fail! So are AMOLED less durable against drops than a LCD? In most cases with LCDs they actually most be cracked before a failure seems to happen. So what is up with that? Is this a thing or just by chance? O3O

I've dropped both kinds of phones a lot, I rarely have broken the screen under the glass along with the other digitiser part. Of the phones I've dropped that broke the screen part too, it was only 2, one AMOLED, one LCD. I've abused a lot of my phones but I always have had good cases on them, so I'd say it's not likely, it's probably just chance, maybe try buying a tougher phone case, but in theory thinner AMOLED's might break more easily, idk about practice.

I wouldn't really say one is more susceptible to damage than the other, most failures on LCD's and amoled (OLED) themselves are from damaging the physical connection that is made to the LCD matrix causing a line of dead pixels. Most people will damage the glass front and digitizer before the screen itself.

Don't drop your phone, and it won't crack ^^ Sounds stupid, but this is the ONLY way you can make sure, your Display doesn't crack/damage at all.

 

There is no "drop proof" phone, even if they advertise it.

Every single Drop is like a snowflake of your Fingerprint: Unique.

Person A can drop his phone 100 times in different places, heights etc, and nothing happens.

Person B drops it once, and Spiderweb installed itself.

 

It's just beeing lucky enough so nothing happens or... beeing unlucky enough, so it does crack.

I dropped my Nokia 3 over 5 times! :3

What about that Moto Louis Rossman talks about?

[Darkseth]

idk who that is or what he talks about, but a Phone that can't be damaged by a drop, doesn't exist, and can't exist.

Even if you claim it, and from 10 000 People 1 phone shatters in the first drop, it's not longer "impossible to damage" as a whole Product. For you as a person, you have kinda a 50% chance. Either it shatters, it it doesn't.

 

You could make the Dislpay glas so Soft, that it won't crack. But then even a Fly would probably scratch it when landing on it.

 

On Glas, or when it comes to "hardness", you can't have shatter proof + scratch proof. Either or.

Like a Diamond. Very difficult to scratch at all, but drop it somewhere, and it will shatter.

 

There's always a sweetspot between ^^

This topic was AMOLED vs LCD durability! How did this happen? @_@

[Darkseth]

But it has nothing to do what panel is under the glas ^^

Yes but I seen more AMOLEDs that was not even cracked and failed after drop, to me it seems like LCDs crak more often before they stop working!

[Darkseth]

Maybe it seems that way? logically it's just about the Gorilla Glas that covers the Amoled/LCD screen.

Or pure luck/unluck.

I can't think of any way how that would affect it. except how it's glued together? I would still think, lucky/unlucky is much more realistic ^^

 

If you ask me, i can not understand in any possible way how people get their screen cracked in first place, regardless of the Panel. Don't drop it, and it won't break, simple as that ^^

But there are some out there, who buy a new iphone, crack it after 1 month, and use a broken device for 3 years. wtf?
