Samsung having problems producing 441ppi displays, possibly for the Samsung Galaxy S IV

Totally agree they should aim for third quarter or longer to get a great product rather than rushing things

One day we are definitely going to get smartphones with 6 inch with 2560*1440 resolution..

SLCD looks better

It's all about preferences. Some may prefer the vivid ones over the more natural-looking displays, and vice versa.

50. PhoneArenaUser posted on 21 Nov 2012, 04:57 3 6

Agree, someone may prefere short lifespan, Burn-In effect, not natural colors, not clear and not sharp images... It's all about preferences... (sarcasm)

aww... you sound mad. believe it or not, most people don't edit photos professionally on their phone, and prefer the vivid colours.

No, not mad just sarcastic. :)
I agree that not all people care about natural colours, clear and sharp images on their phones but it still doesn't change the fact that not natural colours and not sharp images are more disadvantage than advantage or I'm wrong?
Also why would anyone should prefer display which has shorter life span and easily gets Burn-In effect? Should it be somehow useful for user? I don't think so! :)

shorter life span? I'm not gonna be using my phone for more than 1.5 years max, like most people. Burn-In effect? I have't seen that happen with any current gen SAMOLED HD

Some people prefer lower power comsumption, higher contrast, higher refresh rate, more saturated and more vivid colours. Although I've never experienced burn-in effect since I'm using AMOLED screen(N8, GSII now the GNOTE II), it is not much of an issue since most of us don't keep a phone for more than 2years.

later, samsung will send 1080p in 5.5". super amoled screen can not be above 350ppi

38. AbhiD posted on 21 Nov 2012, 01:36 8 4

it would be better if you die for a 5 inch 1080p IPS screen with OptiContrast panel+PixelEyes+WhiteMagic+MobileBraviaEngine2+pur​e RGB matrix, which would feature in upcoming Sony ODIN/YUGA.
i humbly request you not to die for a fake and oversaturated screen as it's not worth ur life...!!!

No samsung is probably going to use OLED screen soon...

44. phljcnth posted on 21 Nov 2012, 02:38 1 0

I just hope they fix the screen burn-in issues of AMOLEDs. Mine's already showing little disparities of blue subpixels in just three months.

60. -box- posted on 21 Nov 2012, 14:46 0 0

You'd die for that?

Your expectations are too low.

I'd have a heart attack for a 8K screen with all-day battery life in the same-size body

9. Commentator posted on 21 Nov 2012, 00:00 12 0

As long as the bezel shrinks at an equal rate I'm totally fine with that.

14. Mr_Hyde posted on 21 Nov 2012, 00:17 2 0

4.8 inches is my stopping point. Above that I have problems with the ergonomics of my phone.

4.3 - 4.5 inches is my minimum - Preferable sizes & best for my hands.

37. abdane posted on 21 Nov 2012, 01:33 1 0

5 inch is the maximum screen size i will have on a smartphone !

11. groupsacc posted on 21 Nov 2012, 00:04 5 0

They are actually "training" us unconsciously with bigger screens. Have you ever tried using Galaxy S3 after using Galaxy Note? It feels small as hell! lol

If they keep on increasing screen sizes in conjunction with narrower bezels, it's all good I reckon.

40. haseebzahid posted on 21 Nov 2012, 01:45 2 5

then by their logic we will be holding 15" phones or what ever by 2020 i find it funny that they still increasing the sizes although Koreans have small hands compared to their phones

49. groupsacc posted on 21 Nov 2012, 04:11 4 0

How do you deduce to that conclusion? 15" phones? Now you are being ridiculous.

by the rate of increase in size every year if this stupid over sizing doesnt stop 15" is no joke i think 4.7 is massive enough for human hands for a moblie that we have to make call from

That is absolutely asinine how you come to that.

So by your logic if the 100m sprint world record gets reduced by 0.01 second every year, in about 1000 years the 100m sprint record is 0 second. LOL

You are totally ridiculous buddy, how you linear interpolate the figures and come up with 15" phones by 2020. More than anything there's a threshold and the size of phone will stagger off to say about 5 or 6 inches. Anything above that will be classified as "phablets" and tablets.

15" phones? LOL that's just total idiocy. Don't even reply buddy, I don't have time to converse with children.

well ur point is totally irralevent cuz sprint is NOT achiveable in 0 secnonds but making 15' moblies is preity possible dumb only people not use to it

lol to ur second point i was making a joke of that 15" . its obvios they must stop this crazy oversizing phones taking the trend to wrong side tablets are tablet and let phones be phones and

ur last point should point to samsung not me cuz i aint planing to get 15" phone that was a joke dont know why u guys take jokes that seriously like samsung but seriouslly u think 5" is ok you sound even more foolish and hidous on that immagine u had to make a 45minuits call i bet u cant hold the phone for 45minuits that is 5"

Yeah, Samsung surely likes to test the waters.

16. dillonc posted on 21 Nov 2012, 00:24 7 0

Samsung isn't trying to make a phone that is the perfect size for a human hand because for one, everyone's hands are different sizes no matter how much apple wants you to believe otherwise. And two, they are providing what the market demands, we aren't just using our phones for talk and text anymore. These things are mini supercomputers that require larger displays to enhance usability.

13. Android4u posted on 21 Nov 2012, 00:17 0 1

i couldn't agree with you more. the super lcd 3 display is fantastic. Also I think it would be dumb to have the galaxy s4 with a 5in. screen.. you might as well buy a damn note

15. ElektronicGeek91 posted on 21 Nov 2012, 00:18 7 4

HTC? Really? I'm against giving Apple my money. aha

17. Android4u posted on 21 Nov 2012, 00:27 3 1

yes htc. is there a problem?

I used to be a big fan of HTC. Now they're being pimped by Apple, which means what whatever HTC phone I purchase, Apple gets a cut.

In this case, I'd side with Samsung, just to cut Apple loose.

So what you're saying is that premium smartphones with small, unremovable batteries, as well as lack of sd card slots is better than having the option for removable batteries & micro sd card slots?

30. Android4u posted on 21 Nov 2012, 00:53 2 2

is that a serious question? not everybody needs or wants all that memory. I mean if you like having tons of HD porn videos then that's your provocative ..

32. Mr_Hyde posted on 21 Nov 2012, 01:10 5 0

Provocative? You meant Prerogative right?

Saying HTC is better than Samsung is just as broad of a statement as the one that I responded with. I'll agree that the build quality of HTC's phones are a step above Samsung's, and I even like HTC's screens better. I'll even go as far as to say I prefer HTC Sense over TouchWiz.

Other than that, maybe I read that statement out of context, but both companies have their strengths & their weaknesses.

To be overly broad, I can't agree with statement 18 as a whole; especially when HTC is being pimped Apple.

I doubt they would do away with a different design. it's still the galaxy series after all. some metal would be welcomed.

57. SleepingOz posted on 21 Nov 2012, 09:03 0 0

So you mean that the iphone is no big competitor to Samsung's flagships, since the best selling weeks of the GSIII were after the ip5 release. It's really funny coming from an apple fanboy.

61. gallitoking posted on 21 Nov 2012, 17:34 0 0

thats not what I said... Samsung drop the SGSII in the states weeks apart form the 4S and got beaten by Apple in sales... thats why the they went back to their normal released date.. no enemy in sight
