yeah. just like with cars. if you have pop up headlights its automatically 10x's cooler+faster then anything else.
Or, despite the lower pixel density, some people actually think the GNex has a better screen.
You know, just takin' a shot in the dark here.

Doesn't the Galaxy S II have a better screen?
Galaxy S II = Super AMOLED Plus
Galaxy Nexus = Super AMOLED .... No "Plus".

That's cool. People can totally have preferences. I love both, i've seen both. To say one is factually better is ridiculous though. I hate blanket statements like "betters it," especially when on paper, it doesn't.

Apparently, "HD" - yes... Although thanks to the upgraded RES/DPI, they had to downgrade from the Plus' "Real Stripe" RGB display back to Pentile.
The next generation phones, after the Galaxy Nexus will then have a true upgrade to Super AMOLED HD Plus which will maintain the high RES/DPI as well a have RGB support again.
All depends on what you want.
More natural colors? Rezound.
More cartoonishly bright colors? Galaxy Nexus.

I couldn't tell if the screen was decent on the Rezound or not because I was too distracted by the red LEDs and the Sense farting up the Android experience.

I think we need a list of things that we can make factual comparisons.. you know, take the opinions out. you cant debate facts, they are what they are.
does the screen have banding - yes - fact
is the screen pixelated - yes - fact
s there a grainy look - I think this is an opinion
Whites look yellow - yes - Fact
We need more True/False things to use for comparisons

so, compared to the 4G, this thing is tiny!
i didnt think the thinner screen would make this much of a difference but to me it's really quite noticeable.
im unsure if i like it better. it's definitely easier to hold but i really do miss the extra screen width of the 4G.
the high resolution is nice though...although it adds to the feeling of it being smaller.
i think this size can bring the potential customers that were unsure if they could handle a phone the size of the evo 4g.
what do you guys think?
The screen sizes are the same.

Evo is 15:9, Evo3D is 16:9, bezel is nearly identical.
i'm talking about the perceived size.
DDiaz, i know yours got delivered today, are u saying you dont think the 3D feels and looks smaller? or have you not got to play around with the phone yet?
The Evo 4G is wider by about 1/4" to 3/8"
For me its about the same size as my Hero. But the screen will cover most of that space.
For those coming from an Evo 4G it is a noticeable difference. Didn't people already know this.

Aside from the bootloader this has been my only concern...and after holding (the mockup) in my hand I must say that I am even more concerned now...and that suuuuuucks.
I really, really really really really hated it....but, we'll see once I get to play with it....but...i can imagine web browsing sucking a lot, though the resolution will still ensure I get MORE information on the page....but I was looking forward to simply having smoother fonts of the same size, but that would render my webpages completely effed up in portrait, and completely irritating in landscape...
...very very close to a deal breaker, but, I'll keep an open mind for a few weeks....but I'm getting heartbroken...I love my monster.
I preferred the screen size of my Thunderbolt vs my Droid X, kind of a bummer they changed it but you get use to it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Super AMOLED Plus is a type of display technology, while qHD is simply a term for a certain size and resolution, regardless of what type the display is. Isn't is meaningless to compare them then?

Its going to be a cool ass phone but I do have to throw in that the SGS2 held up pretty nicely against it on YouTube. Only thing that the SGS2 didn't woop it on was the browser.....but it wasn't that much slower at all. I will say that it wasn't fair for the quadrant test though, as it is not optimized....but for noobs watching all they seen was the nexus fall on its face...it was sad really...they shouldn't have even ran it.

Pentile ruins it - the subpixel density is about the same as ours.
e.g. there's a reason it isn't HD AMOLED "Plus" - if it's not Plus, it's PenTile.
I think the white looks awesome but refuse to get it because I prefer the black bezel for contrast. The blue is just average.. And looks dirty. I think if they launched a black one people would of been less critical. Anyone know if there will be a black one and would it change your opinion on gs3 looks?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Could you define average for me.....then count how many black phones vs blue phones there are. I think Samsung staying away from black was an amazing idea.
There has been some talk about a black one maybe coming later, although with Samsung you can not trust "coming later" and they may only be random rumors, nobody knows...
My personal guess is that when/if a 64GB model is released at some point, it will come in black.
That's just me playing the guessing game though.
I was going to get the white one, but I ended up getting the blue in the end. I believe in the likes of Gsmarena when they say that it does look quite nice in person, and not at all like in the official press shots.
Samsung are a bunch of radiate that's why

25% of the iPhone hardware is Samsung. Given the fact that is the world's best selling model, Samsung is in a win-win situation. Either they sell their phones, either Apple does, Samsung still earns good money so they don't want to lose Apple's business. What's more, this is how they make their parts known (the displays, cpus etc are used in loads of other electronics) and expand their reach. That's why they don't want to cross Apple.
White is the new black. The blue to me is mehhh.

In your opinion what is the optimum screen size?
Screen size of 3.5"
Screen size of 4"
Screen size of 4.3"
Screen size of 4.5"
Screen size > 4.5"
i voted 4", but would be fine with anything between 4 and 4.3.. but 4.3 is kinda like the max, unless of course the device comes with edge to edge screen, then maybe 4.5 is fine too
voted 4.3
Though screen size of the note would be nice

Taking into consideration how comfortably I can pocket the phone, the SGS2 4.3" screen and overall phone dimensions worked better for me than my Infuse (although the Infuse was still ok).
Future phones with the same dimensions as the SGS2 with a front that's all screen would be awesome.
