The s6's expected longevity (~2yrs per the contract model) is much smaller than the expected longevity of say, the average college students who buys this laptop for use in college.
For the record, my Note 4 isn't showing any burn in after > 1yr of use, but who knows what it will be like 4 years down the line.
A small number of users report burn-in on the newer s6/6p so I hope QC on the new Yogas will be tighter at the very least
- JoshTriplett 11y agoI would hope that the warranty covers such a defect.
- bitwize 11y agoMy Note 3 showed visible burn-in after about a year. That's why I don't trust amoled.
- batrat 11y agoI have mine for 2+ years, no burn-in. I guess it's about how is everyone is using and the panel used.
- krisdol 11y agoHow do you QC a defect that takes a year to verify? I had burn-in on my old galaxy s4. Don't know or care if it's the "new" technology. The primary burn-in was noticeable due to Android's fixed top notification bar, as it almost never changed position or color. The times I would fire up a horizontal view or full screen app, the bar would obviously remain visible. I'm glad they wised up to iOS's approach and started blending the bar in with the app when possible.
- Infinitesimus 11y agoI am not arguing in support of OLED screens. I'm firmly in the camp that OLED doesn't belong in laptops (just yet?). From the parent: > New gen OLEDs like the one in Samsung S6 do not have any significant burn-in. My point is that phones are not a good measure of the ability for an oled screen to be used on a laptop since phones have lower expected longevity.
