Hey i got the samsung galaxy s2 with SUPER AMOLED Plus but im looking at HTC One X with HD 720p...
Wot screen would be better?
Nub question i know but i just want to be sure.
Thanks
You're comparing a phone that came out last year to a one that was just announced, of course the htc one x has the better screen due to its resolution but its blacks are nowhere near as good as samoled screens. I'd at least wait for the galaxy s3 and compare those side by side.
HTC One X with HD 720p screen will be better... is HD..... the screen of SGSII is not HD...in the last update of the APP YouTube, can play videos in HD (in compatible phones), but in the SGSII no

I dun get it...
Whilst I would love a 720p screen, I don't want just any 720p screen, it's gotta be samoled or ips+.
$1 gets you a reply
The One X has a 720p (non pentile) and uses LCD 2 technology. I've heard it looks amazing

720p screen would be better, some people don't like the saturated colors of AMOLED screen.
I doubt that on a 4 inch screen you can tell whether its HD or not!
Why don't you just go to a shop and look at them, with your eyes? You can't be sure which you will prefer by asking people here.

HD looks better
HD screen def looks better! but for everyday use think amoled trumps it battery wise.
People make a big deal over 720p screens while I would like it its not a big deal to me 480x800 super amoled+ looks fine, to me there's not much difference. my wife couldn't tell the difference between my gs2 and the nitro. she said mine looked better
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
You can play hd on sgs2!
hmm personally i think that the AMOLED screen does a mighty fine job at being sharp and clear... personally i like how vibrant the colours are and the option to tone it down via Display/Mode.
I don't really see the point in 720p HD on cellphones... >.> I rather buy a tablet.
Till you reach that 300ppi, you can still see differences. For example, the eBuddy icon in my status bar on my HTC Desire looked sharper then the one nkw on my S II.
Desire: 800x480 over 3.7 inches
S II: the same 800x480, over a bigger 4.3 inches
I will not calculate the ppi, but obviosly I could see the difference between the 2. I think the S II has somewhere around 200-220 ppi, HTC Desire around 240-260.
Most of the Android phone's with 720p displays have above 300ppi, like the iPhone's retina display. At that point, you really can't see those pixels anymore. Anyway, the S II's screen is amazing .. i love it. But to be honest that HTC One X' display is better from what I have seen.
Best thing is to wait a month to see the what the S III's like and then decide. I always hate people that buy a phone and then cry a better one comes out after 2 months... wait till all options are revealed and then buy! That moment will be after the Galaxy S III
@XDA mark
Galaxy S2 ~217 ppi
HTC Desire ~252 ppi
Thanks for the feedback guys, ill see wot the sg3 brings

Has anyone else seen the iphone 4 commercial saying the screen is the highest resolution screen ever on a phone?
I thought the vibrant had a better screen? It definitely looks better than the iphone four though.
The iPhone 4 does have the highest resolution ever. Samsung claims that the SAMOLED screens have better viewing angles and all that ****. Its really just what u think overall I guess.

The pixels and the screen size on the iphone 4 have a better looking screen while the vibrant has a bigger screen but lesser pixels so yeah the iphone 4 screen is better but iOS sucks =]
the iPhone 4 has a 3.5 inch LCD screen has a resolution of 960 x 640
the vibrant has a 4 inch S-AMOLED screen that has a resolution of 800 x 480
the S-AMOLED screen displays colors clearer and truer and is easier to see in the sun, the iPhone 4 has an insane pixel density that makes things look cleaner
its a matter of preference really once you let an iPhone 4 owner watch Avatar on your vibrant they will be extremely jealous
That's pretty surprising.
The kid with the iphone 4 finally got pissed at me and quoted the commercial lmao.
But I still think the vibrant looks cleaner plus bigger screen=better.

ive compared the I4 and Vibrant tirelessly after seeing my friends I4. I was blown away and confused by how good the I4 OS looks, its pretty shocking because there is nothing else like it, at least in the domestic mobile device arena. I was actually pissed off that my vibrant looked so much fuzzier, i almost stopped using it and just pulled out my old nexus I was so bummed.
But after I looked into it further it became clear that the I4's visual advantage is limited to the OS, which is definitely important but it doesnt include media, so the Vibrant's samoled does have an advantage in that department. Also, I think the I4 is much easier to see in daylight, the Vibrant is somewhat better than than the Nexus, which is virtually invisible under the sun, but the Vibrant is still no treat to use outside.
The I4 is far and away better looking as far as the operating system which basically includes all lines; apps and their icons, text, the browser, you cant see pixels, its not even close. Also, the old and new Iphones alike scroll without blurring like Android does (I believe its because of GPU acceleration which, if Im not mistaken, Android will add with Gingerbread?), it keeps its resolution while scrolling which makes a big difference visually, particularly in the browser. With Android phones, once you are pressing the screen to scroll in the browser, you can see a huge difference between pressing and not pressing, as soon as you let up the screen goes back to its optimal quality. But the Vibrant absolutely looks better with all media.
I4 has more pixels on a smaller screen with crazy pixel density, so that part really cant be personal preference, unless you prefer fuzzier lines/text. But it is relative, if the I4 didnt exist I would be wild for the Vibrants screen in media and the OS alike. But the I4 obviously has a better look in the OS alone, but not media.

Comparing Angry Birds is a bad comparison - the iPhone version is not optimized for the iPhone4 display, I don't think. It's a lower resolution than the Android version.
Retina display has higher pixel density, and you have to try real hard to distinguish between the pixels, however if you put two screens together and just look at them without digging your nose into your phone you can hardly see that SAMOLED is a bit washed out compared to the Retina, but once you fire up a high quality video SAMOLED will take it any day due to its brightness and dynamic contrast. I do think colors on Sammy are over saturated like with almost all of their LCD/LED panels.

What are you talking about, I've used my phone in direct sunlight in the middle of the day and the screen is easily readable with MINIMUM brightness, unless your screen is dirty and is being extra reflective because of it, this screen works amazing in the sun, on full its clear even with glare
Also, my vibrant's browser does not blur, I just tested it for a goods few mins and no bluring at all
And lastly on discussion, the i4's screen resolution + the smaller size of the screen kinda makes you think its sharper but its a smaller screen...does a higher resolution help it at all? Do you see any distinguishable difference from a lower res screen?
The only advantage i4 has is how dim and how bright the display can get because its an lcd however super amoled wins overall
Sent from my SXY-T959
Doesn't super-Amoled give a blueish tint on whites? on my i4 the browser sucks, it gives pattern checker board things when scrolling super fast, and on android i never got this.
IMHO overall the S-amoled is better, the colors are more vivid but it's funny how the maker of both displays is Samsung

I've had the blurry browser srolling on all my Google phones. Its more noticeable if you've used an iPhone for a while then used a Google phone for a while. Just go to this forum, and look at the arrows pointing right and the icons especially the envelopes to the left of the thread titles. Now slowly scroll, you'll notice the envelopes almost blinking, and the lines become jagged off and on. So when you scroll normally theres a subtle choppiness. But really its only annoying because iPhones don't do it they are smooth, I thinking its the gpu acceleration which we should have shortly. Android hadn't said why they have put off gpu acc so long. Or maqybe they have but I don't know about it. As far as sunlight it could he better but coming from a nexus I would say the vibrant is indeed a treat
I hope this isn't too off topic. I've over clocked and lag fixed my vibrant, I'm trying to show up this guy at my job that has iphone4 how do you run a benchmark test on iphone so we can compare? I'm at 1700 benchmark right now

There's linpack for iPhone, but it isn't made by the same company, so I am not sure how *valid* the comparison would be. There isn't really any universal benchmarking tools that exists on both platforms. So you are SOL at the moment.
Dunno why this turned into a iphone vs galaxy s post but here is a link for an unbiased view on both of these phones screens (scroll to bottom);
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9000_galaxy_s_vs_apple_iphone_4-review-500p3.php
Most people won't be able to tell the difference in my opinion. Now if you are blowing up pics and text you will probably will see the difference. The super amoled blew me away the first time I saw avatar on it, Iphone can't do that.
I know that there have already been posts about this but...... I played with my friends galaxy s - vodafone branded. Totally rubbish screen. Vibrant, oversaturated, and very very blurry - almost PSP screen blurry. It was awful, and text virtually unreadable. Then, both my parents got iPhone 4s. WOW. Screen is so sharp its beautiful. Atrix was looking great until I saw that it was RGBW rather than RGB. Why? Can anyone comment? Is it better/worse than galaxy s clarity wise? Better/worse than iPhone 4 clarity wise? Any photos MUCH appreciated. Thanks a lot
iPhone 4 > Motorola Atrix
iPhone 4 has a 3.5" screen with a resolution of 960 by 640.
Now this screen is just drop-dead gorgeous. And nobody can argue with that. It has a pixel density of 326 ppi. This is more than the human eye can see, and is thus named the 'Retina Display'
On the other hand, the Motorola Atrix is much newer and is running Android. It has a 540by 960 but a 4 inch display. This is considerably more blurry than the iPhone 4's display. It has a useless laptop dock but for $499 who will think to buy it?!?!?!?! It does not even have a proper OS on it!
Once you have used the iPhone 4 I can assure you that you will never return to the Motorola Atrix. Now if you are a gamer like me, then you need a good Applications Store. The Apple iPhone 4 has the Apple App Store with stunning applications with HD graphics. Whereas, the Motorola Atrix utilises the Android Market which has rubbish, useless, demo apps. The best application on the Android Market is probably Angry Birds, which has advertisements filling the screen and can become very buggy.
In conclusion, I believe that iPhone 4, albeit much older, is superior to the Motorola Atrix anyday. This shows how Apple remains victorious so far. Until the iPhone 5 is released.

yes, the pixel density of the iphone4 is better, but i assure you it's not so great you can't see it.
Trolls Trolls
Deary me, another appolyte . iSheep these days....
You have a point with the retina display being a higher PPI. Wow. It took a genius to figure that out. I'm trying to find out how much better it is, and I really can't take a trolls word for it :/
DarkyHero,
I want to thank you, I have not had a good laugh all day until reading your post.
kartik50,
First off i'd recommend to not pay any attention to trolls with some agenda and half baked inaccurate ideas.
But, moving on, in my family we have the Galaxy S, Iphone 4 and I have the Atrix. I do find the Iphone screen to be very good, no question about it however I personally liked the Galaxy S screen better. But that was until I got my Atrix. It was then I noticed how over saturated the Galaxy S looked (and as you said a little blurry, but not by much) when putting them side by side. As far as what one out of the three are the best? I think its personal preference and all 3 (to me) look very good. I'd pick the screen of the iPhone4 1st then the Atrix second. The Atrix is very sharp and clear and I'm having no complaints.
As far as the obvious far from fact-based claim from DarkyHero about the app market on Android.. I'm sure you recognize a troll for what they are.
I guess my eyes are just weird then. My freind standing right next to me, couldn't see any of the issues I could with the Galaxy s screen. We only looked at the Touchwiz Ui 3.0 text. However, iPhone blows me away. I have a 3GS right now, so I hope that the Atrix is far far superior. On a side note, Atrix vs Xperia Play? Both on Orange Uk, update months overdue.......
iPhone 4 wins as far as displays go. There isn't another mobile device on the market with a better screen. The Atrix has the best looking screen of any Android device, unless of course you like the oversaturated samsung super amoleds. The only use case where the Atrix's screen falls short is when brightness is cranked up to max, but there is honestly no need to do this unless you are trying to look at your phone in direct sun light.
I wish we were able to save you before the Apple troll showed up. Anyway.
iPhone 4 does have a beautiful screen, however, this 3.5" screen is way too small to enjoy. Once you try a +4" screen, you won't ever go back. Moreover, Atrix has the same footprint of iPhone 4, so you won't notice any extra bulk with the significantly bigger screen.
qHD is almost same as iPhone 4's screen resolution, so there should be no worries there either. As a matter of fact, given the widescreen you'll find on the Atrix, you'll see more pixels of your movies than you normally would on iPhone 4's square-ish display.
A BIG difference between iPhone 4 and Atrix is the dual-core Cortex A9-based Tegra 2 processor; you'll get a seemless FULL DESKTOP experience when browsing the web. With Opera Mobile 11, you'll be able to have iPhone-smoothness as well.
In response to darkyhero.
Is this a serious post? Or are you just this big of an idiot? The iTurd does not have a retina display, it was just marketing hype.

Something tells me dhero has never used an atrix, been an android power user, played starfox 64 on their atrix with a wiimote, or understood the walled garden of apple's for what it is: a fortress of steve jobs devoid of hacking(the good kind), pornography, and meant for people of all ages, like the 13 year old darky hero here. Judging by your blind optimism for iOS and writing, maybe steve jobs was on the money making a sanitized kids toy. Oh wait its not a kids toy it shatters like a wine glass from 4 feet. Ok, I guess he just wants your money. Every year. You cannot even swap the damn batteries out, my last smartphone lasted me 3 years with 4 batteries. And yes it got five days of solid use with an extended battery...
Ugh don’t get me started on apple and their financial brilliance(their financial success often comes at the cost of their customers, *cough* apple tax *cough*).
So - clarity wise can anyone say its better than SGS? Also- I just saw a review from PhoneDog saying that Nexus S>Atrix? WTF? I mean lag lag lag lag thats all the Atrix was doing? I know there arent any custom roms - Damn you motorola! - but will there be fixes? I know what its like to get a cutting edge phone that became obsolete (samsung Tocco). BTW u guys reply FAST. Thanks!
Definitely. SGS has a 480x800 sceen. Clarity will definitely be better than that.

I haven't seen any lag on my phone. Granted, I'm coming from a Touch Pro, so anything should seem fast buuuut...
Get Opera Mobile from the marketplace for a web browser and it clips along pretty good.
So it's not android optimization for dual core? If thats the case, then why te f.u.c.k did Moto even put on blur?!
I have two screenshots with accompanying pictures of the screen for comparison:
http://www.mylilsite.net/images/atrix/homescreen1.png
http://www.mylilsite.net/images/atrix/homescreen1-t2i.jpg
You'll notice any solid color ends up being "checkerboarded" by the PenTile screen.
http://www.mylilsite.net/images/atrix/speakPrompt1.png
http://www.mylilsite.net/images/atrix/speakPrompt1-t2i.jpg
The gradient was already weird (blocky?) in the screenshot, but on the actual screen it just looks terrible.
I notice the PenTile color "checkerboarding" all the time in w/e apps or videos and it is a distraction but for me it isn't a deal breaker.
Thanks so much for posting these pics! You call it checkerboarding, I call it blurriness but this is it - the thing I saw on the galaxy s. Well if it's back.... Mainly this screen will be used for gaming, movies and web browsing. I'd say movies will be below par due to bad colour- gaming too and email mucked up due to pentile. Plz correct me- bc it's looking quite grim...

What is clipping?
The Atrix has a 4" display with 540 x 960 resolution. This is higher pixel density than almost every other phone on the market except the iPhone 4. The iPhone, however, only has a 3.5" display, and once you have used a 4" display for any length of time (or even a 3.7") it is very hard to loose that extra space. It is the highest resolution and pixel density android phone available (except for that Sharp one in Japan that is an NTT DoCoMo exclusive and uses the same display Sharp supply to Apple).
PenTile is laid out RRB GGB so you have RGB, just two lots of each. Unless you are insanely fussy about screens, you will not notice. Plus it will look better than most other screens purely for having a higher pixel density.
I wouldn't worry about it being PenTile. Have a look at this http://www.anandtech.com/show/4165/the-motorola-atrix-4g-preview/4 .
HI All
Now we have time to play with our new phones, what do you guys think of the screen and most importantly the sub pixel count , what a difference that has made
For a long time the screen res has ment a lot to me as I wanted a phone with a high res display like the iphone 4 for but without the constraints of Itunes.
Now I feel Samsung have done done them self proud, even the Apple fanboys at Engadget gave it SG2 a very good review.
but what do u guys think ..
does it look sharp....
are the colours amazing
when u zoom in does the text look sharp
have u compared it to an Iphone 4 screen and said... yeah mine looks better( the phone nothing else )
does the adjustment of the colour ( Backgrounf Effect) make the colours look more realistic and not the oversaturated look as befor on the SGS
Please read and comment as I love my screen on the SG2 and think Iphone 4's screen is amazing and a quite a high benchmark to beat and has it been beaten or SG2 needs improvments

iPhones screen is better, and video is clearer on iPhone 4 because of the screen. but this is still the second best screen in my eyes.
if res is everything to you get the gs3 when it comes out, it should have 300dpi screen, so iPhone won't have any advantages left in it's pockets.
root and change dpi size to 182
It will look awesome.

Videos dont look better on the iPhone for a number of reasons, the main one being the puny size of its screen. For a start its too small, its also the wrong shape making anything you play either letterbox badly or crop. The iPhone also cant handle high bitrate HD MKV movies like the SGS2 can.
Its not all about resolution with screens. I think as a package the SGS2 screen beats the Retina.

actually i thought the same until i read up on the tegra 3. its actually more battery optimized then our dual cores. its the way the cores work and what not. you can read up on it on the nvidia site, its pretty sweet.
edit: http://pressroom.nvidia.com/easyir/...prid=819304&releasejsp=release_157&xhtml=true
"Tegra 3 processor provides up to 3x the graphics performance of Tegra 2, and up to 61 percent lower power consumption" my point. it will be more powerful, with better battery-life. that sounds nice, right?
The processor pretty much a straight upgrade, as is the screen, but I don't think I'll be posting $500+ to get one

super amoled is crap if its pentile, even at 720p on the galaxy nexus, pentile screens suck ass...i've seen it... hsdpa goes up to 21 mpbs as oposed to amazes 42. I really don't care about processors at this point...there's basically no point of having a dual core processor more than 1.0 ghz if the rom and kernel are able to utilize it well... I don't even get the point of faster processors, are you trying to render adobe photoshop on there???
let's not talk about software here because most newer htc phones will get ICS... Time will only tell...I honestly don't see a reason to upgrade to a ville...My personal opinion only. you can disagree.
I would save my money and wait for the next one if you ask me.

only thing i like about super amoled are the blacks, they look so deep, and on my amaze theyre pretty washed out looking compared to the gnex and my brothers galaxy s2.
i REALLY want a 720P screen

agreed only thing good about amoled is the deep black, I actually think LCD is much better in sunglight!!! I used my brothers super amoled vibrant vs my amaze, same webpage, both on high brighness the lcd is waaay better in sunglight...but hands down the best screen must go to the iphone ips lcd screen even the super lcd on the rezound with more pixels per inch does not even compare to the iphone screen...I also compared the rezound to my amaze screen I could not even tell the difference!!! a lot of things play a role in screen quality. super amoled PLUS (non pentile its rgb matrix) looks great if only they could get it to 720p, That's what I'll be waiting for!!! still retina display is hard to beat every single phone i've taken to the apple store to compare to the iphone screen just seems to be completely inferior, my friends galaxy nexus, and his buddy's rezound both at 720p, super amoled, super lcd, no matter what they're all inferior to the iphone screen...that's one thing i'm envious when it comes to the iphone...

that dam iphone screen is so frrgggkknn TINY!! lol
all those pixels just packed in there makes for that insane PPI. another thing, i took my brothers galaxy s2 and we compared the same video and the same timing, 720P quality video....why does his look better?? i have a smaller screen with More pixels

it doesn't matter how tiny it is or not the rezound has a better PPI, means more pizels per inch, but it still doesn't look as crisp as the iphone!!! rezound 342 ppi and iPhone 4s 326 ppi. so means rezound packs more pixels than the 4s but 4s looks much better, its the IPS lcd which I think is proprietery to iphones, the other lcds are super LCD's made by sony which are good but do not come close to IPS lcd technology

my apologies, i thought the iphone had more ppi than the rezound, whoops
so the ips lcd on the iphone is was makes the picture itself more sharp/crisp? i definitely thought it would be the pixels itself and not the type of display

yea you're right actually so guess not proprietery.... but it seems the ppi is way low!!! 480 by 800 is almost half the ppi as the iphone!!! I havn't seen the g2x screen yet, but how is the vibrancy of the screen, that would explain why ips could perhaps be better than super lcd!!! it terms of viewing angle i think amoled usually wins
anyways i think we're streering off the main topic lol
Hey Guys,
I just recently sold my Evo 3D and upgraded to the Galaxy Nexus on Sprint - very happy. I have noticed A LOT of raving reviews about the SLCD 2 screen and that it makes the AMOLED look washed out etc...
What are you initial reactions to the screen, brightness, clarity, viewing angles etc? Does it really beat out the Super AMOLED HD?
Thanks.

Now this is the evo 4g LTE right
Does it beat it!?!? Retina display what? Amoled who? Screen is brilliant! Love it!!!!!!!!!!

when i first got my LTEvo, my eyes were in disbelief. absolutely beautiful. i miss the deep blacks of an amoled but blacks in exchange for every other color is a fair trade. enough to jump ship? ehh if you really got the spare cash sure

yes.. the display difference is outstanding
I have to say this screen is Ahhhhhhhhhh-mazing. I have a family member that has a iPhone 4s and my LTEvo screen uses the apples retina display to wipe it's @$$
I agree as well, the screen is truly amazing! Like seriously...when you look at it for the first time, it blows everything away.
When I saw press photos showing the EVO's screen, the skeptical side of me assumed they were photoshopped because the screen looked great, uniformly bright, and crisp at just about any angle. Now that I've seen it in person, it is seriously ridiculously awesome. When looking at it at an angle it doesn't even LOOK like an LCD screen; it looks like a screenshot of my phone pasted on top of the screen, kinda like those non-functional demo units you see in stores. It's just silly.
Another notch in the SLCD2's favor is that it won't have any burn-in. I think I read somewhere that AMOLED screens are vulnerable to burn-in?
I think my One X display is better than my Note/Nexus display, and better than the S3 display (I had a couple of hours hands-on with the S3 last weekend). The S3 display is also awesome, but overall SLCD-2 still has it for me (and I'm a self-confessed AMOLED fan).

Wow. Overwhelming votes for SLCD 2. Has anyone come from a Galaxy Nexus?
I upgraded from a Nexus S to a Galaxy Nexus. I wasn't disappointed with the display but I don't remember being amazed by it either. I returned the GNEX within my 14 day window when i heard of the discounts for preordering the LTEvo at BB and trading in an og Evo.
Just completely blown away by the LTEvo display right out of the box...
SLCD2 ~ Samoled+ >> Samoled HD.
SLCD2 = amazing pixel density, high resolution - immediately noticeable if you play a lot of youtube videos. Good brightness. Requires high brightness for good contrast ratio.
Samoled+ = amazing contrast ratio. Not pixelated. Good brightness. Somewhat low resolution, only noticeable in videos.
Samoled HD = a step down from samoled+ in all almost all parameters. Still amazing contrast ratio. But very pixelated. Decent brightness.
Phones I've used - Evo LTE, Epic Touch, Galaxy Nexus.
I'd say I equally enjoy both SLCD2 and Samoled+. Samoled HD is just too grainy and dim.

^^^^^ THIS made me spit my freaking soda all over my OG EVO!
Come on man, I got to make this thing last till my LTE arrives!!
On a side note, that would be an excellent commercial for HTC.
