Redmi‘s GM and Xiaomi Group VP Liu Weibing recently conducted a poll to know which most fans prefer between LCD and LED displays. The survey showed that most fans prefer LED display-toting smartphones as against an earlier preference for an LCD screen as of last year. However, there are apparently still fans who would love to have a flagship phone with an LCD screen.

Recently, a Weibo user had inquired (via) from Redmi’s product Wang Teng Thomas if Xiaomi is considering producing an LCD display-packing flagship phone powered by the Snapdragon 870 chipset. Of course, there were rumors recently that Xiaomi was going to launch three smartphones this year with Snapdragon 870 chip. But in response to the question, Wang Teng Thomas disclosed that the Chinese tech giant wasn’t planning to launch an LCD flagship this year. He even recommended the Redmi K30S Ultra to Mi 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 Ultra.

The Xiaomi exec had earlier revealed that Xiaomi won’t be launching flagship models using LCD screens going forward. At present, OLED screens have become the standard configuration of flagship mobile phones. This trend has even shifted to the mid-range segments as more mid-range models are launched presently with OLED screens.

For instance, this year alone, Xiaomi has launched the Mi 11 flagship series with OLED screens and even the mid-range Mi 11 Lite equally utilizes an OLED panel. Further, the  Redmi K40 series, Redmi 10X series and a couple of other models also use OLED screens.
