Pixel 3 (Non XL) -- LG Display?

[Almeuit]

Came across this while going through the news. Unlike the 3 XL where iFixit found a Samsung display it seems the 3 is a LG one.

LG it is! Which I'm actually pleased to see. I want Google's, as well as Apple's, investment to bear fruit.

Haha. So they flip flop it this year.

I'm just happy I got a Sammy display on the 3xl this year , thought it was going to be in the pix 4.

I’m feeling like I should be disappointed based on everyone’s comments regarding pixel 2...but I don’t care as long as it looks good

Glad to see LG's OLED has improved this year. Apparently the V40's display is also fantastic.

I would expect that the LG displays would improve greatly. They are widely thought of as the best panels for TVs, beating even Samsung's, so you would think they could tune that panel for a phone without a problem. Not to mention, it would be great to get some high quality competition in the space to control price and accelerate innovation.

There must be some significant differences between making TV panels and phone panels, as this has been an ongoing issue. But whatever the issue was, LG finally seems to be getting it together on producing good panels.

I'm glad - I agree that competition is a good thing.

My V30 from last year had a great display. I'm really excited to see the V40 and how it looks.

Funny, I was on the fence about the Pixel 3 until going to Best Buy and seeing the screens, and I thought they looked noticeably better than my Galaxy S8.
