2) Its bigger.]]>Jun 24th 2010 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/
They both looked the same to be honest... of course though, both could not stand to block out the awesome solar-glare of the sun when tilted left or right.

I say.... DRAW!]]>Jun 24th 2010 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/Jun 24th 2010 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/Jun 24th 2010 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/
So it boils down to:

- Under a microscope = iPhone wins
- Normal distance = Both equal ]]>Jun 24th 2010 1:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/
I dont understand the point of super screen close-ups. If you need to zoom in that much to see a difference, holding the phone 20cm away from your eye would mean that awesome 300+ DPI pretty useless in comparison with a 200+ DPI display]]>Jun 24th 2010 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/
Exactly...both are incredible and most end users will/should be ecstatic with both. It's progress, no matter what way you slice it.]]>Jun 24th 2010 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/
everyone is going to hate on the iphone for not being better but I see it as at least it's as good as the best competition, who can complain with that?]]>Jun 24th 2010 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/Jun 24th 2010 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/Jun 24th 2010 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/
The picture 8 (of 45) explains perfectly why I will make the Galaxy S a winner : There's more page content, and it's bigger.

Sorry Apple, I loved your 3GS, but I can't suffer from eye bleeding anymore when browsing.]]>Jun 24th 2010 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/Jun 24th 2010 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/
I think we can all agree they both suck in direct sunlight...

We're just not there yet! Maybe in 2020 if we make past that 2012 hump, amirite?]]>Jun 24th 2010 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/Jun 24th 2010 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/I used both as well. but i think samoled slightly edges it with the rich colours.]]>Jun 24th 2010 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/Jun 24th 2010 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/somehow useless. It's clear that under a microscope the iPhone 4 display wins, because of the higher pixel density and the fact that it is an IPS display.
However,
OLED has true blacks / LCD not
OLED is power efficient / LCD not, always full backlight
OLED has very vibrant colors / LCD not, more natural, however, no one does print production on a smartphone, so OLED just looks color richer
LCD has its advantages, too, however, especially on a smartphone, OLED is in my opinion the winner.]]>Jun 24th 2010 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/Jun 24th 2010 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/
You may as well stop doing these Fight! articles since you always pick the Crapple stuff anyway. BTW how big is the bonus check you're getting for all this iPhone 4 coverage?]]>Jun 24th 2010 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/Jun 24th 2010 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/Jun 24th 2010 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/Jun 24th 2010 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/
Come one people. I own an Android phone with an AMOLED screen and the iPhone wins this one. It's ultra sharp. Not even a contest.]]>Jun 24th 2010 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/
I'm waiting for my coworker to bring his iPhone 4 to work so I can check out this screen vs my Incredible. From the looks of it all he is going to have is a little better time in the sunlight. People keep talking about this oversaturated crap but I think most people like it. Thats just vibrant color. People have been to used to looking at washed out screens. If something is blue I want it to be BLUE and so on.]]>Jun 24th 2010 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/AMOLED != SAMOLED]]>Jun 24th 2010 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/Jun 24th 2010 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/Don't forget that the AMOLED uses less power than the IPS display. ]]>Jun 24th 2010 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/You would think somewhere in the review they would have mentioned power draw. The whole point of the super amoled is to produce a better or equal picture while using up only a fraction of the power. Samsung wins hands down once you factor that in. ]]>Jun 24th 2010 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/Jun 24th 2010 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/

Heck, even a blind man can tell the iPhone display is better. Just kidding. They're both very good. Consumers are fortunate to have such choices.

I believe there's an "S" in front of these AMOLED, completely new tech on phones.

I have the Moment, and the wife has the EVO. I feel like my phone is old hat now! And her EVO screen is much better in the sun than my Moment, not even close. I believe the EVO is LCD, and the Moment is standard AMOLED.]]>Jun 24th 2010 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/

For example, it has been stated of the Evo 4G that due to it's 4.3" screen size, the on screen keyboard is even better than the iPhone's. This is the conclusion of several Engadget editors.

Also for gaming, media playback, browsing, bigger is just generally better. ]]>Jun 24th 2010 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4-retina-display-vs-galaxy-s-super-amoled-fight/Jun 24th 2010 2:19PM
