Looks like there is going to be a much-improved OLED display panel on the Google Pixel 3 XL. iFixit's Pixel 3 XL teardown has revealed that Google has decided to turn to Samsung for their OLED panels and these are expected to perform better than the ones on the Pixel 2.
“Solid colors appear bright and inky, and no longer possess a grainy appearance like on the Pixel 2 XL. The absence of grain also helps text and curves appear sharper and smoother,” XDA Developers’ resident display analyst Dylan Raga noted.
The Google Pixel 3 XL’s display looks great, but iFixit has pointed out that getting it fixed isn’t going to be easy. Well, that’s unfortunate.
“Samsung's panels should be a little more reliable than last year's, but unfortunately this one comes with a Samsung-esque repair process as well. Replacing a Pixel 3 screen will be tricky, and will most likely require replacing the whole frame of the phone.”
The Google Pixel 3 XL may be getting a much-needed upgrade, but XDA Developers has just reported that the Pixel 3 is still going to come with an LG-designed OLED display panel after they examined vendor files from the smartphone. iFixit also reported the same thing.
The good news is that it is supposed to be a newer generation panel than the one on the Google Pixel 2 XL, so the Pixel 3’s display should still be better than the ones on the previous phone. And as noted by XDA Developers’ Mishaal Rahman, the LG’s OLED displays has improved a lot since the Pixel 2 XL came out last year.
In any case, this should not discourage buyers because they are still getting a high-end phone with the latest hardware and software upgrades. The Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL will hit the shelves on Oct. 18 in the U.S., and Nov. 1 in other parts of the world.
