I've spent most of the last couple weeks using an otherwise unexceptional midrange Android phone with one amazing feature: a matte OLED display. That screen is by far the best thing about the TCL P80 Ultra, and weirdly, it's made me more excited for the iPhone Duo and its matte inner display. 2023's

Panel 1
*Setting: A small, cozy home office with a desk cluttered with notebooks and a cup of coffee. A character named JIM, a tech enthusiast in his early 30s, sits at the desk, intensely staring at his phone, which is the TCL P80 Ultra.* Jim (muttering to himself)
Jim: This screen is like holding a piece of paper. Can’t stop looking at it.
Panel 2
*Setting: The same home office, but now Jim is on a video call with a colleague, who looks unimpressed while Jim holds up his phone to show off the screen.* Jim (to colleague)
Jim: You have to see this! The matte OLED screen on this TCL—wait, what's the iPhone Duo again?
Panel 3
*Setting: The same home office, but Jim is now back to staring at his phone, a big smile on his face. His laptop shows a mockup of the iPhone Duo with a similar matte screen.* Jim (to himself, grinning)
Jim: Maybe Apple’s not such a boring old company after all. This might be the one to beat!
