No, AMOLED works in a completely different way than LCDs like the N900's screen. Instead of changing how intense color filters are, it's essentially millions of tiny lights that turn brighter or darker to display their pixel. Sunlight can illuminate a LCD if there's a mirror behind it, because the LCD filters the light as it goes through, and then comes out again (this is why color LCDs are so dim in reflected sunlight, because they filter the light twice). But sunlight doesn't help with AMOLEDs - though usually they are bright enough to be clearly visible in sunlight, they are readable despite the sunlight not because of it.

Also the Nokia N9 featured clear black technology. This is a clever trick with polarization, which essentially blocks all reflected sunlight in the display. Converting it to heat.
In detail explained here.

It works quite well (of course not perfect), but has the disadvantage, that the display heats up very fast in sunlight.

I guess modern AMOLED displays use this too? I never checked.

After reading the posts about the screen size and AMOLED, I've realized something: Are you guys living in a cave!?

Like seriously.... Haven't you guys seen any device with an AMOLED screen before!? And about the screen ratio as well....

Seems like you guys are stuck in the past.... It's almost 2019..!

Re: Are you Ready? Fx HW Keyboard Phone
 

You do realise where you are right? on the website for people still using n900s.

Re: Are you Ready? Fx HW Keyboard Phone
 

Lol, I just bought new N900 and I am pleased as punch with it!

Re: Are you Ready? Fx HW Keyboard Phone
 

Does that change any facts that I say?
You do realize that I am here since 2009 and even a moderator...

Re: Are you Ready? Fx HW Keyboard Phone
 

I don't care much about screen technology, even so I don't like the oversaturated colours of AMOLEDs. And I still miss the precise input possibility of the resitistive N900 Screen. (Please Chen give me a stylus)

But regarding screen size and aspect ratio I care a lot.
And sometimes sitting in a cave seems to be not the worst place, because new is not automatically better. I'm also on maemo.org since 2009 but the pockets of my trousers hasn't changed to much (the same applies to the size of my hands) since then. So the over all size of a phone is a very important point for me. Regarding aspect ratio: what is gained with 2:1? Most content where a larger screen is of relevance comes in 16:9 or even 4:3 or even 3:2: Movies and pictures.

4:3 Really?!.....

Well, better living in a huge cave, than in your very limited New Age universe. And if you would have read ...and thought about what you have read. You would have seen the the word pictures. Maybe you have already heard of MFT > wikipedia
But maybe these cameras are also from stone age and haven't reached your brave new world yet.:confused:

I'm enjoying sitting in my cave eating steak and drinking beer, where you have to eat Tofu Burger and drinking some ginger lime, because all old stuff is evil.:D

By the way I sometimes watch old movies and guess what: They are most of the time very very good despite the fact, they are not 4K and they are 4:3 and sometimes they even miss colour. Whereas I've seen a lot of crapy 4K, ultrawidescreen, HDR and whatever movies. :rolleyes:
