Samsung Has Announced That The New Galaxy Z Fold 3 OLED Display Can Reduce Power Consumption By Up To 25%. How Is This Possible?

OLED Display, The Galaxy Z Fold has introduced 3 weeks ago and brought a lot of excitement to technology lovers. This generation of Samsung clamshell phones with the powerful Snapdragon 888 chip and a selfie camera under the screen has become the main focus of mobile users over the past week.

But Samsung has unveiled another innovation in this phone and announced that the OLED display used in the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is actually different from conventional OLED displays and has been developed by the same company with a new technology to improve life with less power consumption. Do not charge the battery.

This panel is known as Eco2 OLED.

Conventional OLED panels used in previous Samsung handsets consist of three layers: the main OLED layer is located below, and the top layer is the location of Samsung Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG). A polarizing layer is placed between these two layers to eliminate any light reflection; However, this layer blocks a large portion of the light emitted by the display, thus reducing the light output to less than half.

With the introduction of the new Eco2 OLED technology, Samsung has actually removed the middle polarizing layer and instead equipped the main OLED panel with a laminating structure to block the reflection of disturbing light and perform the function of the polarizing layer.

According to Samsung, the Eco2 OLED panel increases light emission by 33%, resulting in a 25% reduction in power consumption. The numbers are significant, and Samsung says it has been able to use this design to mark with a double arrow, and in addition to increasing light output and reducing battery consumption, it has made it easier to implement the camera under its innovative display; Because in the new OLED panel, increasing the radiation means more light reaches the camera under the screen, which significantly improves its performance.

Currently, Samsung’s new OLED display technology is only implemented on the Galaxy Z Fold 3, and the company has used the conventional Super AMOLED panel for the Galaxy Z Flip 3. So far, the only problem with the new display is the increasing complexity of the production process, which has led to higher overall production costs.

Of course, it seems that if the Korean company decides to make this technology more generally, the above problem will probably solve over time.

On the other hand, the Eco2 OLED panel is not the only modified part of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 display, and it is the first smartphone to make changes to the layout of Samsung’s diamond pixels.

For almost a decade, the Korean company has been applying a special arrangement to the pixels; Large diamond-shaped pixels scattered between smaller, oval pixels.

This layout was introduced in 2013, at the same time as the unveiling of the Galaxy S4, to increase the maximum pixel density, and of course, the layout used by Samsung is not the only one.

This method has remained almost the same since then, and the number of smaller green pixels is twice that of red and blue diamond pixels.

According to the Chinese whistleblower IceUniverse, Samsung has changed the Galaxy Z Fold 3, and the red and blue diamond pixels are transformed into circular pixel dots.

IceUniverse, based on information obtained from an in-house source, says the new technique will make the display of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 clearer than that of the Galaxy Z Fold 2.

Since only the shape of the pixels has changed, the resolution and density of the pixels will not change.

With that said, what do you think of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 display? Do you think the changes are to the extent that they have a noticeable difference in performance compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 2?
