Samsung Galaxy S Display vs. Iphone 4 Display

pixel wise (read zoomed in), the super amoled with pentile matrix tech loses big here. the iphone display pwns it. text is sharper & more clearer, color is more accurate closer up, etc. but from a regular usage view, both are pretty even, the super amoled display has better black level but the iphone display is brighter.

To note this article goes into the specifics of the display...aka if you use the device side by side you won't notice a difference.. aside from retina having a higher resolution.

Also its not exactly brighter..it only shows that the white is brighter..which is to be expected...by how AMOLED works....

Obviously when you zoom in, the device that has the more pixels per inch will look best...but super amoled also uses up less energy while giving equal view..so I'd still say its a win for super amoled...but not by a big margin of course.

and this reason alone makes you want to own it?....besides the screen it's just repackaged crap.

What is?

Re: Samsung Galaxy S Display vs. Iphone 4 Display
 

the iphone 4....what is actually new? the screen? yes, the interface? Nope, the multitasking? Yeah but WTF...shouldn't this been incorporated a long time ago? Same crappy network, same repackaged phone that is at the Mercy of the Gods of Apple. FWIW, this phone blows.

I agree, but I don't think its a clear win for super amoled. If they just used a traditional RGB subpixel matrix instead of Pentile matrix (which alternates 2x sized red blue pixels), it would have had better resolution. Samsung can say it's a 800x480 display but we all know that's a lie. it doesn't have anywhere as many pixels as that, roughly 33% less because of the configuration.

I know i'm being nit-picky but why go with super amoled (awesome tech) and screw over the pixel count? you can see in the photos how the white text has blue & red color bleeding because those pixels are twice the size of the green one. this is what irks me. if you're going to make a baller phone, do it right and make every aspect of it baller.

....i would probably still get this phone for sprint though. :-)

Well it boils down to this.. Resistive Screens are actually better then Capacitive screens...but why do ppl want the Capacitive screens?

The human eye can distinguish green better then any other color...so from perceptual you would see it better then what it actually is...

Also it uses less energy this way...

And lastly I'm nto sure about the RED but in OLED blue runs out faster..so if you see a tint of blue...it will disapear with use...

It should be noted that the Galaxy S has a better screen size and aspect ratio. Despite the handsets being close to the same size, the Galaxy has significantly more real estate to work with.

You just single handily removed over 10% of the Galaxy S forum :(..lol

People who try and say the Samsung Display is on par with retina need new glasses. iPhone4 screen is RIDICULOUSLY beautiful and crisp, especially on tiny text.

Pentile technology is a horrible idea..whats the point of having a high resolution screen if the technology limits sharp detail??

Re: Samsung Galaxy S Display vs. Iphone 4 Display
 

You're comparing resolution with a lighting technology, which is apples to oranges (excuse the pun). I would LOVE a 640x960 super amoled screen, that would be awesome. I like the brightness and the fact that the colors "pop" out at you on the Vibrant. It really is amazing. With a larger screen and lower resolution, of course it will never be as crisp, the PPI on the i4 is insane!

Personally I prefer the Super Amoled WVGA over the i4 screen, but it's just preference, there is no "better"

Re: Samsung Galaxy S Display vs. Iphone 4 Display
 

No one said its on par with the Retina..it is Better then the Retina >.> lol

Yes tiny font will not be legible as it is on the Retina..but who cares?!?! your not suppose to read letters that small on a screen..it will put a lot of pressure on your eyes...


Super AMOLED also wins out in other things like using less energy, more colors, better contrast, faster refresh rate.

Have you yourself seen an SUPER AMOLED screen? not AMOLED but a Super AMOLED screen?

Re: Samsung Galaxy S Display vs. Iphone 4 Display
 

+1, play with a Vibrant for a few and see what you think, looks better than a Nexus One to me.

They come preloaded with Avatar, which is a great movie to rock on a Vibrant, watch some of it and that bad boy and see what you think.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S Display vs. Iphone 4 Display
 

It seems clear that in the iPhone wins but I always hoped that we do not sort of Apps for all. We should be able to do things on the browser and the most popular websites already have their mobile version. So, do I really need Apps for each function that I perform. Well say it is not desired as much as I'm concerned.

how is it clear again?

Just saw a super amoled screen for the millionth time - was looking at the Vibrant. Not very impressed. For one the colors look unnatural. The font looks lego like. The samsung screen and the I4 screen should not be cmpared as the Iphone screen is far and I mean far superior. Accurate color and insane sharpness -clarity. I own an EVO for the record.
