MobileMan, 13 May 2017Anon , i have used or rather using both an IPS LCD Screen & an AMOLED screen. If you... morethat is certainly informative, you made me read the whole article of
"IPS LCD vs Super AMOLED" just to get better understanding on whatever that was.
(found one in my language too, easier to understand)

agreed on the camera, C9 Pro just couldnt match F3 Plus.

very well, thank you for sharing, i'll consider F3 Plus as my first choice in this price range.

Anon , i have used or rather using both an IPS LCD Screen & an AMOLED screen.
If you want to use Dark Theme , you will just love AMOLED - its contrast ratio is hard for IPS LCD to match any day/any time. But on IPS LCD you can use White theme or color themes as you like as there are no burn In issues or Colour Loss issues like AMOLED.IPS LCD with 1000 + contrast ratio means a good IPS screen. But as screen is measured in colour gamut & contrast that makes AMOLED much better , but for heavy usage i would recommend IPS LCD.

So , i would recommend Oppo F3 Plus , if you are ok with Non Samsung brand, the IPS LCD has 1500 odd contrast & good brightness ( ok for rough usage ) , but the rear camera has wide f/1.7 aperture , OIS , Sony IMX 398 with 1/2.8" Sensor ( C9 Pro has Samsung PDAF 1/3.06" sensor for comparison ) though the implementation is just ok but you have RAW image support to improve things manually , the Selfie is also dual camera extra wide setup , processor & everything else is same as C9 Pro leaving RAM which is not Imp. as 4GB is ideally enough , This i say only if you need 6 inch phone , as overall performance , Oneplus 3T is better leaving Camera.
