AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) screen technology is a handheld-orientated derivative of the snazzy new OLED displays we've started seeing on televisions. But is it worth the fuss?
In a word — yes. With richer colour saturation and deeper blacks, plus better viewing angles, Joseph Hanlon explains why it's a technology that's worth watching out for if you're planning to buy a new phone, camera or MP3 player.
