So without further delay, let's dig into this smartwatch and see if it's worth the price tag that comes with it, but first, what does the TFT display mean?
The TFT stands for Thin Film Transistor, a type of LCD commonly found in entry-level smartwatches. This screen uses individual transistors and capacitors for each pixel, allowing them to save on energy by selectively activating pixels.
This comes with the drawback of TFT displays having lower viewing angles, less clarity, and less color accuracy when compared to AMOLED displays, so keep that in mind.
