I have a samsung A20 with AMOLED and the blacker blacks seem to make reading easier... but it might be the higher PPI. It's only 720p, but…

Thanks! I'm reading math textbooks, which I now realize is probably pushing an 8" 800p display.

Yeah, but I can't find benchmarks for the M8... I want to compare it with Samsung A20, too.
