i’m not sure if you’re referring to AMOLED vs others types of OLED, but if we’re talking OLED vs backlit/traditional LCD… yes. 100%. the power savings of a white on black OLED are very significant (black OLED pixels don’t use much energy, whereas a backlight is always on), the contrast is better between true black and bright white, etc.
compare the display of an apple watch or new iPhone to an old garmin. it’s like night and day - and one of the reasons i don’t use bike computers.
