Samsung Galaxy S III comes with a PenTile matrix: screen comparison

no really, this is one amazing smartphone

40. Lucas777 posted on 03 May 2012, 16:36 7

are u trying to deny that this isnt disappointing?... i mean the sgIII is nice, but it isnt that much more stunning than the nexus or note... just with an upgraded processor... to me it doesnt have the same presence as the one x does

you f**king idiot

Tha'ts actually a good point. There are rumors of an i9800 model, which may be a higher-end model and released later so apple is either stuck with their competitor to the GS3, or they have to revamp the development to compete, costing them time and money

Yah wouldn't be surprised if samsung is trying to adjust their product launches. It'd be better to have their new phones launch in the fall quarter before the holiday. Then they would also have the latest and greatest features to compete against the new iphone.

So disappointed with the sgs3. I see no reason to upgrade from my sgs2. I would imagine this is how iphone users felt during the 4s announcement but I guess not because siri probably blew their mind.

That would be stupid if true because apple reall does not do that. They go out and try and get the best posesable tech and because there are so many orders they can get first dibs on products and get the best price.

I was on the edge about it, but now I've confirmed it's a major letdown.
I went to VZW and checked out a Samsung Nexus, it is essentially the same screen. Wow, it was ugly.
1. White is not white! it's dull yellow color that is undeniably obvious.
2. The screen actually had burn in. It was set to sleep after 1 min or so, but even with that I could see the homescreen when I was on other apps, that's unacceptable.
3. Resolution was not as good as my iPhone 4. And yes that is my benchmark for screen quality. If it doesn't look as good as retina, then its crap.

This alone is reason I will not get a SGS3. I want to switch to android and it looks like the HTC One X will be the one for me.

one x hands down overall

9. jove39 posted on 03 May 2012, 14:41 8

Yes...its way better...Apart from quad core Exynos...there is no appeal in this device...for me atleast

12. eDiesel posted on 03 May 2012, 14:45 9

Ill pass on non-exchangeable battery and a pathetic non expandable 16gb storage

38. kanagadeepan posted on 03 May 2012, 16:14 5

But One-X has better screen (full RGB), sense UI,

I personally prefer amoled. Better colors and a real treat to look at. they make lcds look dull. Oh as far as ui It doesnt matter because there are many great launchers and i would put a custom rom on it to get the most out of it..

Yeah, better colors = overly saturated, unnatural color, blueish tint..

Is that what you mean by better color, okay i got it..

while loving the one x I had dismissed it as i was holding out for the s3,now however I must admit the one x is much better looking phone,ill make my decison on which one to buy once i get the s3 in my hands over the next few weeks.

55. Dark4o90 posted on 04 May 2012, 03:13 1

let's say it's a way worse

13. darac posted on 03 May 2012, 14:45 8

..with 4 times better overall processing power, with superior battery, bigger internal storage, SD card slot, better camera. yep, that covers it.

21. Corpsemaker posted on 03 May 2012, 14:54 5

First of all, the SGIII's processor for verizon is not going to be the exynos chip and therefore probably not quite 4 times better, the battery is better on the SGIII (but not better than the razr maxx), and storage and camera improvements aren't that big of a deal. ALSO the NEXUS has stock android/faster updates.

you must be crazy to say that

49. mobileczar posted on 03 May 2012, 19:37 3

I have one question. What exactly do you expect more out of a cell phone?

56. AhmadAlsayegh posted on 04 May 2012, 04:04 2

Innovation

15. AhmadAlsayegh posted on 03 May 2012, 14:47 6

Tell me something it can do that no other smart phone can do...the One x specifically

23. SleepingOz posted on 03 May 2012, 14:59 4

Ever heard of expandable memory and removable battery? And Pentile or not, AMOLED screens look way better than any other LCD.

25. taz89 posted on 03 May 2012, 15:04 6

removable battery and storage is major importance to me and those 2 features alone is why i will get the s3 over the one x...quad core exynos benchmark leaks have shown that it is much more powerful than tegra 3 or s4.bigger battery is a plus,enhanced voice recognition and facial detection etc.yes some features are gimmicky but you get the choice to use them or not..will say i like the look of the one x better

28. Guest_star posted on 03 May 2012, 15:16 1

i'm waiting to see how will exynos compete against s4 quad with andero 320 :)))

thats about the time exynos 5 will be ready but also its about when it will be in a actual consumer device ready to be brought and not just announced.

Im sorry but pentile is totally noticeable. Geek or not. Average people just don't know why the screen doesn't look as sharp.

34. remixfa posted on 03 May 2012, 15:57 3

I use pentile every day. unless you are using heavy red on the screen its completely not noticeable and is still a beauty to behold. whatever negative pentile may be, the beauty of Amoled more than makes up for it. besides ... pentile or not its a pretty high density screen which is the important part.

47. andro. posted on 03 May 2012, 18:16 1

Agreed,nobody except someone with a microscope can see the difference on a daily basis of pentile and non pentile. Super amoled is far superior in contrast and totally overcomes any pentile minute shortcomings. I have to admit if not a huge fan of the s3 design,myabe that will differ when i have it in my hands. The one x design is more appealing

it's really not that big of a deal, especially after you get used to it.

26. Victor.H posted on 03 May 2012, 15:06 2

Absolutely, it's even in the pictures below, but I've somehow managed to mess up the names! Thanks, darac, it's fixed now.

27. Victor.H posted on 03 May 2012, 15:08 2

Absolutely! I've just fixed that, don't crucify me just yet :)
