Recently, Lu Weibing, the Vice President Xiaomi Group and General Manager of Redmi released a poll on Weibo. The poll asked the users on the social media platform whether they prefer AMOLED or LCD displays. As per the result, a majority preferring the AMOLED over LCD.
But there are still some fans who would love to have a flagship phone with an LCD screen. In regards, a Weibo user had questioned Redmi’s product director Wang Teng Thomas if Xiaomi is considering producing an LCD display-packing flagship phone powered by the Snapdragon 870 chipset.

In response to this, Wang Teng Thomas said that the Chinese tech giant wasn’t planning to launch an LCD flagship this year. He even suggested the Redmi K30S Ultra to fans who seek an LCD flagship phone. The K30S Ultra was released last year in China but is still on sale despite the arrival of the K40 series.
Currently, OLED screens have become the standard configuration of flagship mobile phones and even more and more mid-range models have adopted OLED screens.
Take Xiaomi as an example. The Xiaomi Mi 11 flagship product line adopts OLED screens and the mid-range model Mi 11 Lite also uses OLED screens. Redmi K40 series, Redmi 10X series and other models are also having OLED screens.
In the second half of last year, Redmi made a flagship K30S Extreme Edition with an LCD screen. When the company introduced K30S Extreme Edition, Lu Weibing said the Redmi K30S Extreme Commemorative Edition is for fans who like LCD screens.
