Is that correct? Does #010101 use the same energy as #FFFFFF or do darker shades still use less energy?

#3Why does the battery saver mode in Android Go require the phone to operate in dark mode? It claims that this will save the power. However it is not true in most cases as majority of low cost Android Go phones have IPS display, not AMOLED display.
What is the technical or business reasonings of this feature? a misunderstanding from teams within google? or the fact that dark mode can save power for both IPS and AMOLED displays?

#4I keep reading that OLEDs are more efficient but when you look at the final products, OLEDs (even with elaborate heatsinks) are dimmer than LED-backlit LCDs. There's definitely a lack of solid facts on this topic.

#5When displaying pure black (I guess that's only #000000, but I could be wrong), the pixels displaying it remain off, so those pixels would use no battery (since they're off)

I have a galaxy note 10 (which I absolutely hate) but the AMOLED screen is far brighter and clearer than any backlit LCD I've ever used.
