So I was just browsing videos of the gs2 and I found that the screen is only pushing 16 bit colors. They tried to make the best screen in the mobile industry and it just fails when it comes to any type of gradient. The Evo3d and sensation push 32 bit colors which makes a HUGE difference. This (for me) settles any unsureness I had about evo3d vs gs2.
Good research!

The people who just love the amoled screens don't realize that they are not color accurate..they are vibrant and colorful but I know a lot of galaxy s owners who were not very satisfied when they printed pictures they thought looked terrific on their phones..oversaturated that's all.I'm going for the qhd but I guess to each theory own
I think it really does come down to preference. I own a vibrant as well as a inspire "4g" (which is my daily driver). I think images (ane video) are much more impressive on the super amoled screen. The potential battery savings are nice as well. All that said, I prefer to use my inspire; larger screen and more horsepower (under certain conditions)

its not like the colors aren't accurate... they may be a bit over saturated but thats all.
as far as 16 bit vs 32 bit you can't tell the difference .
we were debating this in the nook forum as 32 bit was causing problems.
switched to 16 bit and it looks the same.
the big difference (to me) is in viewing angles. laying in bed or on the couch its not always easy to have the phone directly in front of you. hopefully the evo looks acceptable using it this way.

Over saturation --> inaccuracy. Reds may still be red but they don't accurately represent the red in the image.

doesn't mean its any less accurate then the evo if the colors are washed out because you have it slightly tilted to one side.

I beg to differ about 32 vs 16. any gradient will have a ton of color banding on 16, 32 has close to none. I say close because you can look really closely on any screen and see where the pixels have changed. I'll post a video I found where you see the difference, its huge
I do hope that the evos viewing angles are better than the sensations.. i was pretty bummed about that
Edit: heres the video, watch the quadrant bench at 4:15 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3axSZX1R_s
yeah i didn't see a huge difference other then how washed out the sensation looked
don't get me wrong i'm getting the evo but i really hope the viewing angles are better then what i've been seeing.

considering the evo is terrible that really doesn't help much lol.
i did google around and there are some complaints about sgs2 banding. should be able to fix it though with a custom kernel (i would imagine).

My week old evo is better than all 3 of my g2x's I had. So if you say the evo is horrible then I guess ill be a happy camper...

I think it does help. If its better than EVO viewing angles then what's to complain about?
What more can we ask for? HTC did a great job and until Samsung has a track record to build quality I will buy HTC.

Sure seems like some people lay it flat on a table and try to peek over the edge to look at it.
we're arguing on screens on internet forums about screens about screens about screens about screens
It could matter. I'm still never getting a Samsung.. but what if you and a friend are trying to watch a video..?
Gimme a couple a days to come up with a new sig that is cool.
Do'nt you thin the galaxy s II is unnecesary big ? i come from an inspire 4g which as a slightly larger screen 4.3" vs the 4.27" screen on the galaxy s II , yet the inspire 4g is shorter , the galaxy s looks at least 5 mm taller , i think the top bezel is wider than it should be .
The weird thing is that comparing both phones , the inspire looks a lot wider, almost as if the galaxy s were fwvga
I know it has been mentioned a lot of times bug damn i really miss the notificaton light , cant believe Samsung decided to skip it after they got so many backlash for the lack of a notification light in the original galaxy s II
If galaxy is too big for You why You bought him...?
Wysłano z GT-I9100
I take it you wont be getting a Galaxy Note then ?
HTC Inspire 4G
122.9 x 68.1 x 11.7 mm
Samsung Galaxy S II
125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5 mm
Yes it is 2.4mm longer, but more comfortably 2mm narrower. And don't forget the 3.2mm thinner.
By making it so thin they have to put the components, including the Front Facing Camera, someplace. Making it longer is possibly the more desirable way to do it.
Big i don't notice in use .

Sounds reasonable , i'd swear it feels longer than just 2.4 mm, like 5 mm, regarding those 3.2 mm of thinnes between the devices, the sgs 2 feels WAY thinner i cant over that
I believe the inspire uses a different aspect ratio on the screen, the sgs2 has a 15:9 ratio while the inspire probably has a 14:9 ratio making it wider yet shorter. The sensation has a 16:9 ratio and is 1mm narrower but a bit taller than the sgs2.
Must have small hands OP. I find it very comfortable.
Size feels fine to me, can easily operate with one hand.

that's what makes the phone manageable , all my friends were deceived and think the phone it's smaller tan my inspire 4g, because of the weight and how thin the device is, a 1850 mah battery like the one found on the galaxy s II lte would have been nice tough

with that 1850mah i doubt it will increase the standby as the processors are 1.5ghz.
Its a little big, but not huge either. My point of view, a 4.5" display is too big but a 4.3" is tolerable.

Bah, bigger is better, I want the galaxy note, 4.3" is still a bit small for reading web and playing games.
After everyone saying that it's soooo different and no one can tell its even Pentile, I thought I would love this phone, especially with it's thinness!
Went to verizon today to check it out (they had one on display). Still obviously pentile. Granted, a LITTLE better than the bionic, but it's still no where as close to as crisp as ANY phone that doesnt sport the Pentile matrix, like the thunderbolt, iphone, even blackberry Torch.
I don't know about you all, but I CAN'T STAND IT. It's so ugly to me to have jagged looking edges and lines through you're screen. My old Blackberry Storm 1 did better than this.
I'm really hoping the pentile on the Galaxy Nexus is better than this, or else I'm just still going to be wishing I had something like the galaxy SII
Hey, thanks for your opinion, I am interested in what people who have actually seen the thing in person have to say. The stores near me dont have it on display yet so I appreciate the info!!
If u like this phone just buy it, forget abt the screen and battery, just buy and enjoy.
It'll be the same thing probably on the Nexus. It really isn't that big of a deal so don't worry about it.
Yeah it really isn't THAT big of a deal but I just don't understand what's so hard about using a little bit better of a screen. I think the nexus will at least make up for the screen with ics and the on screen buttons and NFC. Though much thicker :/. I can't wait to really feel how light this razr is once its out of the display clunky holder thing.
It felt reallllyyyy light even with that thing on there and the thinness is incredible. I sold my bionic a few weeks ago and I have been using a 4s, and I'm getting so sick of not having my 4g. This razr will be a nice change, though the screen definitely looks subpar. I just wish there was a phone on Verizon that I could show to apple fanboys and them not say that their retina display looks better. Because, fact of the matter is, it does look much better(the retina display).
It's almost sad to me that Motorola and Samsung and such brag about their screens being 720p and such when their pixel densities are still less than the retina display, and the pentile is still obvious(assuming the nexus is still the same).
I don't know, I'm just ranting.
The razr did feel very quick however, and the camera app worked VERY WELL. The shutter lag was very low! Much faster than the bionic and it reminded me of a galaxy nexus video displaying the no shutter lag. Though the pictures weren't what I was used to with the 4s, they still turned out pretty nice looking.

I know what you can show them! Show them the iphone 5 while they still have the 4s! Jk jk. On a serious note think about the screen sizes, 3.7 vs 4.3 and 4.65, they don't even compare. Yes it looks sharp and such, wait till they do a 4 + inch screen, and then if they can keep the same pixel density more power to them. But seriously I've been through 5 phones this year on Verizon alone: 1.) Thunderbolt 2.) Droid Charge 3.) Droid x2 4.) Droid 3 5.) Droid Bionic . To be honest the X2 screen was the worse out of them all, that phone was just utter garbage. The Droid 3 and Bionic screens although pentile, were still acceptable for day to day use and netflix. Seriously if I want breathtaking visuals I'll go home and watch something on my dual 30 inch setup.
Were you disgusted with the display on your Bionic? If you can't stomach the pentile display... There's always the HTC Rezound that you could go for. I will personally wait for the RAZR to come to my anxiously awaiting hands via fedex 11/11 by 10 am gg priority shipping. If the screen is that terrible but I like the speed/feel of the phone I'll probably stick with it. To me high quality build is a HUGE factor, I can't stand HTC/Samsung's cheap plastic build. In the end it's your own personal preferences, I'm not bothered at all by the sub pentile matrix.

OK ... this post is going to sound antagonistic but it REALLY isnt meant that way ....
are we putting too much emphasis on this Pentile issue ? I mean most of us are upgrading from phones that are a year or two old (in my case an original HTC Desire).
I assume (correct me if im wrong) that the RAZR screen (and the Nexus screen and Rezound screen - not coming to the UK) will blow my Desire screen out of the water !?
Seriously ... I have very good vision but am I genuinely going to spot Pentile without going right up to the screen and looking for it.
I think my Desire is Pentile isnt it ? and ive never considered that blocky or seen any halo effect and thats a much lower resolution !?!
Please dont take offence if you really do notice the difference but im just trying to get some perspective into this discussion .....

No offense taken at all! I am very attention to detail, and yes you can notice the pixelation to some level (more so on the droid x2 (the most) droid 3 bionic not enough to bother me). I can't personally say anything about the RAZR, but looking at the color saturation looks nice. To be honest I really don't care if it is pixelated even slightly. The OP is the one making the fit about the PenTile display. I don't agree with him, but he is entitled to his opinion, and I will respect that. In the end it's all about personal preference, I for one am okay with the PenTile technology. The main gripe I'd say besides the blocky/jagged text would be the discoloration, but the AMOLED on the RAZR seems to take care of that.

construction ALONE is a good enough reason to get this.
The cheap 4$ plastic of the Sasmsungs doesn't justify even a 1080p display, it just looks and feels like 98' cheap gameboy.... Not to mention the SGS screen is one of the worst in the industry today with absolutely NO WHITES and a green hue all over the place.. It's just a very bad engineered screen to fit Samsung's cheap phone.

True ... construction is a biggy for me. i run a junior football squad (soccer for our American friends) and my phone is often used in the wind and rain around mud etc.
My Desire has stood up pretty well but (in my opinion) the Desire has been the last of the 'sturdy' HTC builds .... to be honest I really fancy a change from HTC too. Will I miss sense ? possibly, however my current 'build' is a Senseless ROM anyway.
I like the look of the RAZR, and need an SD slot (or at least 32gb - which seems to rule out the UK Nexus). Wavering, but the RAZR is still front runner ....

Yes it will be one of the "better' displays on the market for sure. Regardless of it having a PenTile matrix, it still has good color saturation and unmatched visibility outdoors. I will have my RAZR in another 2-3 days or so, and I will report back here with how the screen is.
I was disgusted by the screen because I wanted it to be leaps and bounds better than the bionic screen, and it wasn't. It was just slightly better.
You all will love you're phones I'm sure, I'm just a snob about the pentiles. For some reason I can't stand it. Especially after looking at the gsII screens. bleh.

Me too. But after playing with one for about 10 min the screen on the razr looks beautiful to me. And with the bionic right next to it, I see a huge difference. Thats just me though.
Sir, if you think the SGS-II screen is a better screen, then your statement regarding the Razr screen kinda loses some of it's validity because scientifically, the SGS-II screen is showing you FAKE colors, the white is really really dark, under ANY brightness setting, and the rest of the picture is GREEN in such high levels that it's an insult to any good set of eyes.
In the comparison pictures I have seen, the RAZR's panel, although similar, has MUCH better whites and less of a green hue.
If you meant that you liked the SMOOTHNESS of the SGS screen, in term of pixel arrangement, then maybe ! I'll see when I get one.
The way I see it, the IPHONE has the most advanced, natural display on the market today... Nothing comes close really.
BUT the overall package of the RAZR is what's appealing.
thank you for your thoughts.

I would MUCH rather have th SGSII screen than the Razr's. Like I said, the pentile is just horrible in my opinion. Maybe you're right about the greens and all. I'm just saying first impressions, when I picked up the phone, the pentile was noticeable. Make me look back at my iphone and be like, wtf is this?
This is what Gizmodo's review says about the screen:
"We ragged on the Bionic's screen pretty hard. The RAZR's is a lot better. It's not perfect, but it's better. The new Droid's screen is Super AMOLED Advanced. What does the "Advanced" mean? Seriously, nobody has any idea, which means it's probably just marketing speak. "Advanced" aside, its Super AMOLEDness delivers deep blacks and vivid, accurate colors. There's still some pixilation, though. In fact, it's almost as severe as the Bionic's, but with the increased saturation and straight-up deliciousness, it doesn't draw your attention quite as much. It's certainly not as sharp as the 720p display on the HTC Rezound or the iPhone 4S' Retina, but it certainly won't make your eyes bleed."
http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2011/11/mobile-monday-motorola-razr-review/
I gotta say I really don't care whether it is pentile or RGB, I just want to be able to view sites in desktop mode without having to zoom in, (sites like engadget), and still be able to CLEARLY read text beyond the like headlines. At this point, I have yet to see a pentile screen where I can do this...
I was disappointed when I got a Nexus S because I couldn't view pages as well as I used to on my much older Motorola Milestone (Droid 1). And the Atrix, even with its qHD display appeared to be a step backwards from the Milestone. This is one of the things I like to do to test out a new phone, and I have a feeling the RAZR will disappoint in this regard. Out of all of the phones I have checked out lately, the HTC Raider (Vivid in the US) appears to have the clearest rendering of websites in full desktop mode. Regardless, the RAZR's screen is still a step forward and I would really like to see it in person, but until then, threads like this and OP's opinion provide an interesting read.
android is choice ...
... i played with the razr for 10min and i just can say it`s a great device, pure black, nice reading ... pentile or not, cool phone.
So I met up with a friend who has a Galaxy S II and when realized that I had a Rezound, he asked to see it. The first thing he said was "woah this screen is nice!"... I thought to myself "isn't the GSII screen, being true RGB, supposed to be nice?"... but apparently he liked my screen more then his.

Well when you compare the Rezound screen 1280 x 720p it is also RGB. Not to mention the high pixel density count. Some say pixel density might not matter, but when you start getting to text close up, HD images and videos you will notice. The SII screen isn't bad by any standards.. Super AMOLED + is sexy and the viewing angles are superior vs SLCD. But the resolution on that screen is only what 800 x 480? Now if it was a super amoled + HD with no pentile submatrix like the Nexus is going to have (that + screen banding) I really don't see how the reviewers say it's a beautiful screen. But for now the Rezound does have one of the best screens on the market yes.
I'm sold on the rezounds screen. I really see a different between it and any other device. The pixels per inch really do matter, pics, hq videos, webpages... i don't know it all looks great!
i picked up my rezound on release day and i'll have to agree, this screen is Fing AMAZING well for a phone anyway.
also the camera and picture quality is top notch. even in low light indoors the video and pictures is so good.
so far i really haven't found anything to complain about. I do miss the thunderbolt kickstand but i'll manage.
We are praising this thing now, but watch, next year it will be 1080p and we will all feel like losers having this phone. lol
On a serious note, this screen is awesome! I love bragging to iPhone owners

Hmm I don't think they will jump that fast for resolution for phones. 800 x 480 has been the standard for awhile for phones. qhD is now just starting to be the "standard" with HD starting to trickle in on a few phones.
The screen is the best out so far, for any smart phone. So used to not being able to read text from far that I hold the rezound a lot closer to my face than I should. This phone can pack so much clearly readable text on 1 page, cause of the resolution. Videos?... pshhh. I've seen videos shot by horrible cams, turned into crisp playback. Any image you display on this device just seems nicer. No complaints on this screen whatsoever.
...just another unbiased review from a proud rezound owner
... lol, but seriously this screen rocks!

Those people are not so bright. It might not matter after a certain point, but it matters my friend!

They can't help it if their eyes are broken. I pity them.
Am i the only one not liking the fact that android phones are getting bigger and bigger( sure slimmer), what happened to the compact aspect , after all it is a PHONE .i personally think that there should be more MID-HIGH-end 3.5-4.1" screen phones coming in the future.
especially when the Vibrant is reaching its limits running android's latest and greatest.
i just wanted to know what everyone else thinks about this.
I really like 4", but could live with 4.3" it resolution kept up. The latest GSII for T-Mobile is the same resolution as my phone, but more than .5" bigger. No thanks. The GNexus with its bigger screen at least upped the resolution, so I have considered that, but only Verizon offers it subsidized, and there's no way I'm moving to Verizon!

agreed, a "retina" like display would be nice, i would consider nothing more than 4.2, and that's with the screens taking up good amount of real estate on the front face of the phone
UPDATE:considering 4.5 now, depending on how JB is and if its 1080p.
Ya I think 4.3 is the Max I'm willing to go so its gonna be interesting to see what the manufacturer's do

having played with the sgs2 & the galaxy nexus.. i agree that the 4.5" screen on the sgs2 feels a little worthless since it's the same resolution.. but the galaxy nexus at 4.65" doesn't feel too big
without the bezel/frame, i think the 4.6 or 4.7" range is actually reaaally nice. the nexus is barely bigger than my vibrant but the screen looks a lot nicer
cant wait to hopefully pick up a new phone to replace my vibrant in august when my 2year ends with something between 4.5-4.7" and 1080p resolution
I need a larger screen because I'm getting older ;-)
You need a larger phone so you know how big your youknowwhat is and you don't have a ruler around.

i know you can get used to it if you use it enough. but the most i will go is 4.5" that's with little or no bezel,
a super amoled 1080p with high ppi=worthy upgrade from the vibrant
SGS3! do not let us down..
Why do we need larger screens? (considering that it's one of the most power hungry pieces and the batteries still are in the 1500-1700mAh range).
I don't have any idea, Vibrant's screen is more than enough, there's plenty of space for surfing web, reading ebooks, casually playing games and so.
I can barely hold the phone with one hand while using the thumb on the touch screen, a bigger phone would bring nothing to me.
It's a phone. If you want more headroom, get a tablet.
I also think 4" hits the spot on a phone.

don't mean to bash on anyone but although I love my vibrant to death, the increased screen size is amazing on phones I've played with ONLY if the resolution makes the upgrade as well..
personally hoping for a screen between 4.5 and 4.7" for the SGS3 with a bare minimum of 720p resolution

According to that genius man's statement, you probably have a 4" youknowwhat.
I was actually thinking the same thing. Honestly i want something between the galaxy s ii's size and vibrant's size.. Vibrant is alittle too small and the SGS2 is a little too big
I have to tell you watching 720p MKV video on a Note is awesome. And its screen is night and day better than the Vibrant. It makes big different for everything, typing is easier, web browsing is easier, maps are wider, easier to read and more text on a page, not have to zoom in all the way to read pdf, much easier to control game's onscreen controllers.
Of course, as things pass 4.3 its not possible for single hand usage anymore. It's Android, at least you get a choice unlike Apple, there will be manu that will still make 4", if you don't like larger phones don't buy it. Or buy iPhone.
I do think as a handheld phone, above 5" is overkill though, so is 1080p at 5" (it will happen anyway), the text would be unreadable, they would probably raise the dpi to 440, the Note is 320. I think a good compromise is for Samsung to make for two categories, 4.3“ and 4.8". 5.3" is just too much.
It's like asking why you need 24" computer monitor when you are still using 15". Once you use it you will appreciate the screen estate. Also the new larger screen Galaxy are slimmer than the old ones. The Note is very thin.

I agree that it has its benefits over smaller screens, but I think the market also wants something that's more poket friendly, I seen the note in person and its beautiful but its tablet more than phone..
Besides I want android not ios. And that is why I'm sticking with good ol' vibrant,
next iPhone will be 4" I foresee it
I used to have a 15" monitor then upgraded to a 25.5" its worth it because monitors are stationary so bigger is not a problem...plus a jump to 1900×1200 Res from 1360×768 yes please.
