iPhone 5 wins another screen test against the Galaxy S III

11. Ceal89 posted on 16 Oct 2012, 08:42 22 1

I agree. The One X has the best screen in the market today. I've compared it with my Galaxy Nexus' HD Samoled display, Xperia S' HD Reality Display (with mobile bravia engine turned on) and even my New iPad's above HD retina display (I don't have an iPhone 5 at the moment) and boy does that screen curb stomp and tea bag every single one of em (not in resolution though when it comes to the iPad). Color's are not too oversaturated, the screen literally looks painted on the display itself and the viewing angles... OH MY G*D THE VIEWING ANGLES! i would love to see that screen on a tablet! Please HTC make it happen! :-3

Try that with the lumia 920 and they will see lol

But too bad the OS sucks to the core. Having a good screen is one thing, but able to provide the best user experiences is another. So, nothing beats Android for best user experiences and capabilities. WP is just another locked down OS like iOS.

Windows phone doesn't suck it's fast , fluid , beautiful and responsive , besides you can jailbreak apple's iOS .
Windows Phone 8 will not be as locked down as iOS , it have SD card support , support for a variety of resolution and Bluetooth file transfer

to see it in a neutral way, there's no the BEST mobile OS, iOS & android are just simple, fast & easy. give the phones to a new smartphone user, they can use it after an hour or so.

android in the other hand, is for another kind of users, users that demand customization, multitasking, open-source

i was an android fanboy once, now i just see iPhone, SIII & Lumia 920 & HTC 8X are simply magnificent

yep, i agree with you. i stopped visiting that site a long ago. Those cnet columnist are the world's greatest apple evangelists out there. Not even a single post i found there to be fair.. Then I found Phone Arena to be neutral in reviews and in all other news related to apple, android or any other platform... I love Phone Arena...

i agree with you on CNET part but i think you have not been reading Ray`s articles lol

46. sheik posted on 16 Oct 2012, 11:56 2 2

I haven't read a lot of his articles yet, but IMO most of the posts are unbiased here.

and i dont think any screen can show real life colors like your eyes can see. so its all comes down to personal taste. I like AMOLED for showing true black and more vivid colors.
P.S. - first line of this article sounds more like an advertisement lol.

Don't we all already know that the iPhone 5's screen is better though?

4. rickywinataa posted on 16 Oct 2012, 08:29 4 1

well not exactly biased, iPhone 5 does have a great screen. but Cnet need to remember who has the best screen

17. Abbath posted on 16 Oct 2012, 09:11 9 0

CNET is just confirming that the iPhone screen uses more accurate colors which we already know and frankly most people dont care. We all also know that the SIII uses uses more deeper richer colors than in real life. This does not mean the iPhone has a "better screen".

Perosonally I prefer the large and beautuful colors on the SGSIII instead on the tiny iPhone Screen with toned down colors.

28. SleepingOz posted on 16 Oct 2012, 10:09 6 0

The iphone5 screen is more accurate than the GSIII, making it a better screen for certain persons.
As for me, I just want my stuff to look great with vivid colours and lots of contrast. Games and videos definitely look better on Amoled screens.

Just as PhoneArena has become Androidnet these days. Actually, I recall PhoneArena giving an amazing review to the iPhone and everyone in the Android cult's butt hurt.

Yeah best screen shouldn't be up to how many pixels you cram into your screen, it should also factor in whether your screen will survive a fall or whatnot, and if you ever owned an iphone and had it fall then you know 50/50 you going to the repair shop for that broken glass

iPhone5 is way more durable than S3. Google is your friend.

So you gotten a phone just for a sake of dropping it? So what if iPhone wins the drop test? What iPhone offers is still far less than Android. Is a fact, Google is your friend.

From the article:

According to what they have found, the iPhone 5 sports the higher brightness levels and much more accurate color gamut, while the Galaxy S III manages to excel in the contrast department thanks to the true black color of the AMOLED-based panel.

All I care about in that paragraph is the contrast of Amoled screens. Thats one reason why I like them over LCD now. And viewing angles. Viewing angles help alot for outdoor viewing.

Here you go bro. Same conclusion. iPhone5 > S3'

u got the power efficient part wrong ....AMOLEDs are more power efficient except when it comes to viewing white images

35. r41nier posted on 16 Oct 2012, 10:57 0 1

No, you're actually wrong. It's the other way around. According to Scientific tests, LCDs are more power efficient EXCEPT when it comes to viewing black images. Theoretically, AMOLEDs should be more power efficient, but it terms of normal use, you will never use just a plain black screen. LCDs will always be more power efficient than AMOLEDs. HTC One X, LG Optimus G, Xperia V, and Lumia 920 are just one of the best smarphone display right now avalabile right now.

Notice how post after post was telling the truth.

Super HD AMOLED > Retina

43. r41nier posted on 16 Oct 2012, 11:14 0 3

color sucks on AMOLED. LCDs are still better.

dont worry. it happens every time apple releases a new(same) product and its Ray S.

57. HowMyDictate posted on 16 Oct 2012, 15:31 0 0

The important thing is the SG3 is the one they compare everything to because it is one of the best. It is the example all phones should be held up to.

Everything is apple. It rules the world. First smart statement I have heard all day and its from you!
