Not only that, but OLED screens have perceptible low response times and burn-in (my old S3 screen has the Candy Crush UI burned in, and is also yellowish because blue LEDs burn in faster than green/red ones).

That said I suppose newer OLED screens do not have as many problems, but for a long time OLED screens were inferior to LCD screens, and were used only because they were capable of higher contrast ratios which made them much more appealing to the eye.

Perhaps it's typical for the sell and forget mentality of many Android manufacturers that phones are made to look as appealing as possible when in a display next to other phones but once the sale is over the love is usually gone. So a display that is super colorful in the beginning and yellow after a few months apparently for some manufacturers is no problem at all.

Lots of expensive looking big midrange phones suffer from this when I see people using phones in bars or public transport.
