Saves your battery. Easy on eyes. Dark theme is just nicer, what am I missing?

    Not entirely true for LCD. Some LCD displays have zones. And each zone with it’s back-light.

    If a zone is completely dark (not grey or without even a single white pixel), the back-light will shut off.

    However on phones, it is mostly a single zone.

      Yeah that’s true. I’m glad that a big portion of all phones being released right now have oled screens, but it makes me miss the high quality ips LCD displays we used to get. Now you have the choice of a really sub par LCD, or an OLED/Super AMOLED display. I looked at the screen on my 2013 Nexus 7 and my Nvidia Shield K1 the other day and they hold up so so so well. It’s a shame I can’t just upgrade the internals. I’d kill for a Shield X1 or whatever chip will be going into the next switch.
