Hi guyses.
Is it possible to use the s-pen from galaxy note on galaxy s2?
I would love to use a pen like it's used on the note.
Looks totally awesome.
Tried. Not working at all. That stylus is not capacitive

galaxy s2 and galaxy note have different screen
Thanks
thanks for the info. you guys answer my question too.
Samsung Galaxy Note – 5.3 inches Super AMOLED Capacitive touchscreen display
Samsung Galaxy S II – 4.3 inches Super AMOLED Capacitive touchscreen display
Both the phones uses the same technology i.e., the Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display for which the Samsung has got critical acclaim though the display of Galaxy Note is on the larger side which stands at 5.3 inches in height providing 285 ppi pixel density and with a maximum resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. When you come to Galaxy S II, it has 4.3 inches Gorilla Glass display with maximum resolution of 800 x 480 pixels at 217 ppi pixel density.
Both the phones have Gorilla Glass display with multi-touch input method provided with various sensor technologies like accelerometer for auto rotate, proximity sensor and gyroscope.

All that is the same, but the digitizers are different. Which is why the s-pen for the Note doesn't work on the i9100.

The SGS2 retains it's 800x480 resolution. Yet it further increases its screen size.
That's the only factor that's hampering me from purchasing one.
Even the Atrix gets a heightened resolution and yet over a smaller area.
Anyone else facing this dilemma?
Well the Atrix has pentile matrix sub-pixels like the SGS had, but the SGS2 doesn't.
So the effective resolution should be pretty similiar.
More here.
I'm thinking of getting a Nexus S over the Samsung S2...Do you think the screen on the Samsung S2 is a huge jump from the Super AMOLED Nexus S? Is it really worth it...
Long story short, the SGS2 has more sub-pixels than the Atrix, and double the SGS.

Lol. Off-putting seems to be going viral.
Here is another way to look at it.
The PPI for the SGS 2 is 218.49, the PPI for the SGS is 233.24, and the PPI for the Atrix is 275.36. BUT, if we add in the extra sub-pixels from the SuperAmoled Plus display the theoretical PPI is 327.74. The iphone 4 has a PPI of 326, so it is actually sharper than an iphone 4.
Didn't realize it was so sharp but when you put it that way, it makes me want this phone even more. =)

correct me if i'm wrong but PPI is PPI - sub pixels contribute nothing to PPI so your theory above is totally wrong.
And all the people just repeating jibberish about how more sub pixels make a display clearer/ significantly better are clueless about resolution.

It's a theoretical boost to PPI, because it does actually increase sharpness and reduces eye strain due to clearer text/images. Sub-pixels do actually make the display clearer.
Here's a video showing Super Amoled Plus vs an iphone 4 (IPS display).

Just all wrong. The iphone 4 uses a regular rgb stripe arrangement. Its definitely the highest ppi out.
Samoled+ its simply a standard rgb layout.

Wrong.
Super AMOLED Plus displays are an upgrade to Super AMOLED. They use a real-stripe subpixel matrix and not pentile - and so has 50% more sub-pixels. The PPI is a bit larger but Samsung will soon make them at much higher resolutions. Super AMOLED Plus displays are also thinner, brighter and use 18% less energy than the older Super AMOLED displays.
Super AMOLED has 2 sub-pixels per Pixel. So, for a resolution of 800*480, it has 768000 sub-pixels.
The Super AMOLED Plus has 50% more sub-pixels than Super AMOLED with PenTile Matrix. So, for a resolution of 800*480, it has 1152000 sub-pixels.
A Standard Matrix RGB use 3 sub-pixels per pixel. So, for a resolution of 800*480, it has 1152000 sub-pixels. Exactly the same number as the Super AMOLED Plus.
Retina Display has a resolution of 960*640 with 3 sub-pixels per pixel wich gives 1843200 sub-pixels.

Both the iphone screen and SAMOLED+ have the same amount of subpixels the iphone has a higher ppi but the color are better on SAMOLED+

Yes, the iphone has more pixels but from my experience side by side with a captivate and an iphone 4 the sgs 2 will blow the iphone out of the water.

It comes to personal preference in the end really. I prefer the my Desire's AMOLED, while my friend prefers the iPhone's display over his SGS' SAMOLED.

I'm quite right. Samoled+ is awesome but your explanation in relation to the iphone 4 (or really and lcd except the atrix) was incorrect.

Does that mean that the SGS had been having the poorest resolution all along? Seeing that it has only 2 sub pixel.

Not really, it's not that simple. It has a resolution of 800x480. Each of those pixels can be made of whatever type of sub-pixel layout the decide. The atrix looks quite a bit different than the normal SAMOLEDs. The SGS2's subpixel resolution is lacking I suppose. Typically people can't make out individual subpixels.
Too put it another way:
Red and blue were 240x400 on the SGS. Green was the full 480x800.
On the SGS 2, all three will be 480x800.
On my phone, when the battery is low, the solid red battery meter looks like checkerboard.
Also, who cares about the iPhone's screen... It's just going to shatter anyway with it's wanna-be gorilla glass.

Heey,
I'm planning to buy the Galaxy S II, but I was thinking... (Maybe it's a dumb question...)
The resolution on the original Galaxy S is 480x800 on a 4 inch display, but on the Galaxy S II it's also 480x800 on a 4,3 inch display.
Won't there be any difference in sharpness or quality of the display?
I hope someone can explain it to me.
Thanks in advance!
i think S2 is sharper than S1 (im a s2 owner also had s1)
BUT yesterday i played with a S9003 with SLCD, it's white is whiter and text is sharper than on the S2

not really because the original galaxy s had pentile pixel matrix, which cheated and shared subpixels. the SGS2 has full RGB subpixels, giving sharper text etc.
the galaxy s really only had 600x300 or so effective pixels because of the sharing pentile crap. SGS2 has the full 3 sub pixels.
that said, i went and played with the Infuse, and thought the screen wasnt as sharp as it should have been coming from the pentile screens. even the Inspire SLCD next to it, same resolution and size, looked sharper. so i dunno...
One of my main applications is to use my phone as a GPS in the car. Screen readability in bright conditions is therefore key. Popular wisdom is that AMOLED screens, whilst offering better contrast than LCD, are dimmer. This could be a deal breaker for me with the S3, especially as one of the comments in one of the launch video blogs mentioned a 'no so bright screen'.
How have others found AMOLED screens of the type used used in the S3 in bright conditions?
amoled does have lesser brightness ,have seen in on my sgs2 but its clearly readable and usable in direct sunlight
and also if you see the brighntess test values from gsmarena sgs3 has better brightness than sgs2 , so it should not be a problem

All I could find was this
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_iii-review-757p2.php
@100% brightness SII = 330 cd/m2, SII = 362 cd/m2, so it looks like the SIII is worse unless I misread something. Looks like HTC One X is king in this respect, but will have to wait for GSMarena sunlight legibility test

oops i meant g nexus and not s2, one x is lcd so it will have the brightness
LCD screens do have more brightness because they have a dedicated backlight which is always on and of course produces more brightness than the self-light-emitting subpixels of an AMOLED screen.
but the sunlight readability is not 1 to 1 derived from the maximum brightness
Galaxy Nexus had a very dim screen i hated it... i hope s3 will have a better screen because it has some changes in the pentile matrix + White, cd/m2 330(100% brightness) and gnex has: 247 White, cd/m2
i had galaxy nexus and galaxy s 3 neither of them bright galaxy s3 slightly betteri think ips screen much better
I want to buy an android phone , but i am not understanding that which display is better for smart phone.
Please tell me that which type of display is suitable for me , Like
super amoled
IPS QHD Touchscreen, 16M colors, Multitouch
HD LCD Display
16M colors, IPS LCD captive touchscreen
FWVGA Screen
IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors, Multitouch
WHICH ONE IS BETTER IN ABOVE DISPLAYS
Hello
Some explanations :
FWVGA : resolution of 850 x 480
QHD : resolution of 2560 x 1440
qHD : resolution of 960 x 540
HD : 1280x720
you talk about screen technology too :
IPS
Super Amoled
Generally, Super Amoled will be better to display black pixel as it can deactivate pixel. By the way, with this technology the power consumption can be reduced too. Displayed colors are not very accurate too. Used by Samsung
IPS is older and had several evolution. Used by all other
My recommendation :
HD IPS LCD Display 16M colors multitouch
I'm a prospective buyer (tired of my M7's LCD and miss my galaxy S2). Doing my research looking at threads but can't find in-depth screen comparisons between amoleds.
Is this Screen better then the S3? Not only the matrix, but brightness range and outdoor visibility?
I'm assuming the 1080p of the S4 trumps it in terms of detail..but what about the other factors?
edit. also i've been out of the rooting scene for a while, Is the alpha as easy to root as the galaxy S2?
Both s4 and alpha have super amoled screens. S4 is larger (5 inches) with full hd 1080p resolution, whereas alpha is smaller (4.7 inches) with hd 720p resolution. Hence, S4 has a bigger and sharper display.
But newer amoled screens from samsung have better colour accuracy, viewing angles and reduced power consumption. Galaxy Alpha also has gorilla glass 4, which is better than gorilla glass 3 in s4.
Overall, Alpha seems to have better display. Although s4 has more pixel density, other factors make display of Alpha better. This also means, its also better than s3's display, which is older than s4.
Just for the record, I have owned both phones S4 is better to use overall. You do notice the resolution difference when you are looking at images and video. I believe the screen in the Alpha is from Same generation as S4, anyway, even though the Alpha is a later model.
The mid-range products are generally not using cutting edge parts - it's part of designing to a price point.
Higher resolution means less performance. S4 would lag with its older processor and 1080p screen. Alpha would be lag free with its new processor and 720p screen.

1) That's just theoreticals. I had little or no lagging on either one. But one of them is very clearly lower resolution.
