Repeating what I said earlier: AMOLED screens are provided on more-expensive phones and LCD screens are provided on cheaper phones. Yours is not a "reasonable surmise" at all since it's based on something you "didn't know" anything about.

And this is
still wrong.
The Epix 2 (with the AMOLED screen) is $200 more than the Fenix 7.
