The release of the OnePlus 3 might have you thinking that there is some type of new AMOLED panel out there, but it just seems to be more of a sly marketing technique. Apparently, it is just a Super AMOLED panel with a tweaked color profile and/or software-based optimizations.

…the OnePlus 3 display is a 'current generation panel from Samsung, tweaks specially for the 3'. ("No serious manufacturer uses off the shelf displays," he added.) But what does this mean? He explains: We've taken Super AMOLED and added our take on contrast and color temperature, to try and bring it more true to life. In addition, we've designed its performance profile to work well when outdoors in bright conditions.
 
With the usual burn-in. 'Craftsmanship'.
 
Pretty awful according to Anandtech:
The OnePlus 3 Review

"With poor greyscale and color reproduction, there’s absolutely no hope for proper color mixture rendition. As expected, the OnePlus 3 also regresses here, and beats the OnePlus 2 as the most inaccurate display on the chart. I really don’t have anything else to say here, as I’m just so frustrated by OnePlus’s choices here"
