Display
About that 3D glass know that is is an AMOLED touchscreen. We talk about the brilliance of AMOLED screens while reviewing smartphones. How much more should we talk about it when on a smartwatch To put it simply, Huawei Watch GT 2 is not an average piece of tech dear reader. It is of the upper echelon. AMOLED describes a specific type of thin-film-display technology in which organic compounds form the electro-luminescent material, and active matrix refers to the technology behind the addressing of pixels – Source Wikipedia. Many are times when watches are worn outdoors. And since display panels can prove difficult to view in such environments, AMOLED panels efficiently address this limitation.

Huawei Watch GT 2 Astonishing Power
