Surface Phone to have Amoled screen! Yay!

[AndyCalling]

My fear was that it would share the less than impressive Lumina 950 display style, but no. Luckily this is shaping up to be a true successor to the Lumina 930. I cannot wait. With any luck W10 will have feature parity with W8 by then as the touch features (et al) are dribbling in. Painfully slowly, but they are. Could the writing be on the wall for iPhone? [Umm, probably not... Ed.]

I'd bet money that the author is just making things up as he goes along. This guy has no actual information about a real surface phone whatsoever. The entire article is based on his limited understanding of technology and guesswork.

Yes, it's just blind conjecture.

but I congratulate you on the click-bait thread title. Well played, sir.

I could've written that!

I could've written that!

I could have written the Harry Potter books.

If I'd known the words, and what order they went in...

Am I missing something? The 950 has an AMOLED screen.

I hate that BS clickbait articles have become our sources of information. They exist for every subject imaginable, but seem especially bad for tech topics. Pretty much every Surface Phone-related "article" I see is a total regurgitation of some other "article." They repeat either information so vague and generic anyone could have written it or repeat baseless, unsourced spec rumors that someone just pulled out of their pooper. My personal favorite lately has been the onslaught of headlines saying the Surface Phone release date has been "delayed" until 2017. Newsflash: It can only be "delayed" if it had previously been announced to be coming out sooner, which it hadn't. It's also amusing that the "delayed until 2017" headlines are still appearing today considering that rumor has been around for months. Not exactly breaking news.
In the spirit of writing BS non-news headlines, I present my own:
BREAKING: Donald Trump to consider presidential run, but may delay inauguration until 2017.

I disagree. You could have done far better ;-)

Samsung Galaxy Note 6 to have AMOLED Display and AMOLED Back cover. Leaked picture below.

I talked to my connections at Microsoft. And they have confirmed that the Surface device with cellular connectivity will have a screen. This guy must have some serious connections there.

My fear was that it would share the less than impressive Lumina 950 display style, but no.

The 950 has a 2560x1440 AMOLED display already. The only difference in that article is 5.5" (vs 5.2" for the 950 and 5.7" for the XL).
