The Apple iPhone XR Review
"...is only outmatched by the more recent Mate 20 with its 33% larger battery."
As a fan of OLED, it's hard to swallow this simple fact that LCD is superior in power consumption

The OLED on the XS has more pixels and thus needs more RAM and GPU time to render, using up more energy.

It also
needs
more pixels due to its pentile pixel structure which reduces perceptible resolution.

If your screen is mostly black most of the time, OLED power consumption is superior to LCD. I wish more apps had a dark mode.

I don’t find it hard to swallow at all. The colors of OLED are way superior to LCD

The hard to swallow part is that it's outputting a fraction as much light, using a simpler method, and that translates to more watts.
