So you're comparing Samsung and LG's TVs to a smartphone? lol. Now I can't tell you to personally try the S7's display mainly because I know the answer, you're going to claim that you've already tried it just to prove your argument. But it might be a subjective matter to be fair, but regardless, most people prefer the S6 and S7's display over every other iPhone except Apple fans. Now once Apple adopts AMOLED displays in their upcoming iPhone, you'll be the first one to fall in love with it and I can guarantee you, just don't forget.
Not sure about DisplayMate's reliability but one can certainly tell that it's more reliable than what you have to say.

Key word here most. He conveniently ignored any benchmark, and major ones like multicore and memory (RAM) performance, where the GS7 trounces the iPhone.

Max, you might want to check out this thread http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...o-sd-card-fastest-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge.html
You'll find a bunch of other LIARS like me posting their GS7 edge benchmarks... also fake SD card postings showing 70mbs read speads.

Damn, the ignorance and fact-dodging is incredible in this response. Samsung innovated the technology; they're idiots for implementing it early on (how do you think products ever improve? hmm?). LCD still has some advantages-- name one aside from cost vs SAMOLED integrated capacitive touch panels. And for your completely uninformed brightness argument that may have been true generations of AMOLED panels back? Read it and weep, son.
The S7 has superior white efficiency while lighting 1.7 times as many pixels as the iPhone!!
Before you start accusing me of photoshopping, have a look at the source data here.. where displaymate calls the iPhone the "best LCD display"... key word LCD-- that's kind of like having the "best CRT monitor" today. Yes, I know it is producing slightly less brightness than the iPhone based on cd measurements, but it is an astonishing feat, and when scaled to account for the amount of pixels on each screen, the Samsung is in another arena altogether.
Oh, don't forget to name the "advantages" LCD has over OLED; don't even bring up blue emissive polymers; that issue has been largely resolved since Kodak first was concerned with it in the late 1980's. The Pentile argument is also tired; the displaymate articles I've referenced will show you just how out of touch you are.

Max, I just saw your other post about how DisplayMate isn't the only display reviewer and "other" websites talk about defects in the S7 display. PLEASE do provide me with this information and links to said websites. Also, please provide me a link to recent discussions of your allegation that blue emitters fade in "months and after 1 day" in AMOLED panels-- total ********, maybe you didn't realize you're talking to a chemist.

I just wanted to followup; do specs have any thing to do with user experience?

What are you on about? If there's one thing I don't give one iota about are specs and I certainly didn't get into a discussion of specs vS UI with you.

I test drove a curved s6 edge plus and the "edges" were always in the way and once you put on a decent case, your edges are completely missing and it looks like an awkwardly skinny display.
My team mate was showing his SGS7 around. I found that the edges, even with a low profile case like a Case Mate jelly case, were annoying when reaching. I kept touching them with my palm, and launching the apps edge tool.
I'm hoping Apple does it better, if they do this.
I have the GS7 Edge and have really loved the edge feature. I actually find the edge panel to be very useful, primarily for launching commonly used apps. It saves time and icon fishing hassle. As you stated, with a case the edge appearance is somewhat diminished, but it still functions just fine. Without the case, the phone looks as gorgeous as a phone can, and the first day I brought it to work with no case people commented on the phone like I had a flashy piece of jewelry, it really drew attention-- I was shocked at the kind of response it generated, even from coworkers in their 60's who were curious what kind of device it was since it looked so unique. There's no question people dig the look of the edge screen.
It's amazing how people can ask such personal questions. Is it socially acceptable to go around asking for BMI, debit card numbers, SSNs?

See, that's a proper, informative, respectful response. And while I have had every iPhone since the first one, I'll agree Samsung is doing something right. I just want to ensure there are no downsides to the wrap. Or at least I'm not paying for something I can't use because I want to put a case on my phone and protect my thousand dollar investment.
And you are such an experienced CEO to say that, right ?
Maybe they know numbers better than us.
Really, we don't know about global market economies better than Apple
[doublepost=1459271187][/doublepost]
Absolutely my point.
Could you imagine me going to XDA forums showing the A9 benchmarks just for the sake of flames ?
This is happening in almost every single thread here....
[doublepost=1459271563][/doublepost]
First: you just joined and started your experience here with an off topic post.
Second: I don't have any account on iMore.
Third: stay here for a while and you'll understand my frustration in enjoying a forum where I'd like to speak about Apple but I have to dodge trolls and haters and in every single thread.

A thread about a future phone is off topic? maybe in your world
Ok maybe it was another mac forum...does that change your attitude toward other members
ignore the haters. much healthier than getting riled up and lashing out
Take a look at anandtech review, for instance...
The S7 display surely is great, but it has drawbacks. None of them were highlighted by DisplayMate, strange enough....
[doublepost=1459272072][/doublepost]
Did you joined as a moderator ?
Put me on ignore list and move on, if you don't like my posts. Easy solution.
Or maybe we are not biased with any particular tech company.I own both Samsung and Apple and even bought a new Apple Watch yet I see things as they are factually
You do realise Anandtech's boss works at Apple right?Besides Anandtech is NOT the holy grail of display testing.Displaymate on the other hand specialises in it.So DM>Anandtech in display analysis.I also find it hilarious how Anndtech brushes aside all the negative points of the iPhone like the display and 10 gigs of storage like they are nothing and try to downplay the S7 in his review

I posted half a dozen benchmarks, you are just speaking on basically ONE, the Geekbench multi core test. The only test where Samsung 's gimmicks (put 8/10/12 cores in a phone, just to marketing them, no matter if it throttle like hell after a few minutes) shine.
Lol...
MOST is the key word here, since it define the best device. But your use of the word "trounces" when it is better in 2 tests of of 15 is hilarious.
I don't care about SD cards: they are ridiculous in 2016, and even Samsung can't make up their mind putting and taking from their phones year after year.
I posted AGAIN, tests from THREE SEPARATE INDEPENDENT WEBSITES, amongst the best on the web, and ALL OF THEM showed exactly the same performance, waaaay lower than iPhone.
But right, we should trust you...
DisplayMate ... Their bias towards Samsung is well known.
Form anandtech review, accurate and NOT USING THEIR OWN TOOLS (like DisplayMate incidentally does):
http://www.anandtech.com/show/10120/the-samsung-galaxy-s7-review/5
in both review units I received the display has a noticeable green tint for many shades of grey, which seems to be somewhat of a perpetual problem with Samsung AMOLED displays
both devices have a noticeably lower gamma than expected, which does have some effect on accuracy but for the most part can help to serve as a compensation mechanism for reflectance when dealing with ambient light. It’s likely that the green tint issue may only appear on a device to device basis, but to see that such issues haven’t been resolved for years is somewhat concerning given that phones costing hundreds of dollars less don’t seem to have the same problems.
our Gretag MacBeth ColorChecker test, we see that there are some issues with grayscale accuracy, but overall color accuracy remains quite good
In addition to the grayscale problems mentioned earlier, Samsung clearly has not resolved issues with color shifting that occurs with viewing angle changes. LCDs definitely have more luminance degradation as you move away from the normal of the display plane, but at almost every angle change I can see whites get noticeably colder and interference patterns, in addition to a general color shift that is noticeably more than most LCDs used in high end smartphones and tablets. It’s obvious that this is a hard problem to solve due to uneven subpixel aging
So yes, a great display, still with the drawbacks of OLED technology nonetheless.
And I don't care if you are a chemist: on OLED display blue sub pixels start wearing faster than others SINCE DAY ONE, so color accuracy is degrading over the time, no matter what you think.
Samsung is working hard on that issue, mitigating the problem for sure, but even your beloved Samsung can't defeat chemistry ...

You are not well informed.
Anand left the website when he joined Apple, and now he's not in th editors staff anymore.
He was so good in his works that Apple hired him. Not uncommon in this field.
Anandtech IS the holy grail. Is the only website that analyze tech gears in every single aspect, going deep.
DisplayMate is a company that sells their own calibration tools, like iFixit. They are not an independent website.
DisplayMate like Samsung panels, fine.
Actually everyone like those panels, me included.
But DisplayMate didn't pointed out drawbacks, while anandtech did.
LOL!!!! I love it when people throw the "biased" bit around.
You see what's next to the iPhone there? What's that? Ooooo looky.....it's an SGS7!!!!!
Here is the thing....I've got three lines. Number one line is the iPhone 6s Plus you see there. Secondary line was the Note 4 but that's trashed thanks to Lollipop. Third line is between the Lumia and the Passport depending on what I feel like using.
Now....I always keep an Android device and it's mostly been a Samsung because I give it to my testers to test responsive designs on web sites. We have iPhones and iPads but currently only one crappy SGS5 to use for the whole team. Since the Note 4 is trash thanks to Lollipop I pulled the trigger and got the SGS7 because it's the newest Samsung I can give them. It's no big deal, I've got a drawer full of phones. They got the device since it came out and I got it back last night.
So.....bias? You'd have to look elsewhere.
Nice collection of phones! And, Lollipop ruined your Note 4? That sucks. I used to have an S4 till it died(my error lol). And, the worse part is Google said everything was backed up on the cloud, and it never was. I used to check every other day to make sure, too. After that dreadful experience, I can't go back to Android again. How are you liking your SGS7 though?LOL!!!! I love it when people throw the "biased" bit around.

Lollipop turned my Note 4, which I LOVED, into a boot loop stuttering lagging freezing heap of processed bovine feed. First problem was a FB update months ago that made it freeze. Then the camera would take FOREVER to focus. Then Lollipop came and it's just been disastrous.
I honestly haven't used it extensively. It's been with the team and I got it back yesterday. What little I used of it didn't impress me as something I must have; the edge launches the app edge tool much too often. Also if I try to type one handed the side of my right hand between the index and forefinger hits the keyboard and I start to type letter p everywhere.
Not a fan. Not something I would buy for myself to use for myself. I bought it really as a work testing phone.
Oh and I took the picture with my work iPhone, which I got after I pitched the work issued SGS5 into the trash bin.
Edit....the choices were really the BlackBerry Priv or the SGS7. I'd rather shoot my foot off than get a BlackBerry so I found the SGS7 to be a more current, more usable option for my purposes.
Right.LOL!!!! I love it when people throw the "biased" bit around.

I'm being labeled as a fanboy, and I have a Lumia 1520, a Galaxy S5 and a Galaxy S6 in my home
I'm an happy Apple customer, for sure.
LOL. I spit out of my coffee reading the first portion of your post.
Hmm, you said your fingers always touching it the edge, and making the app's pop up? That would really annoying IMO. But, thanks for sharing your impressions. I never really understood the 'edge' thing on the phone at all. It just seems out of place. Hopefully Samsung improves it in the future iterations of their phones, or scrapes it altogether. How is the hardware? I heard its built pretty good, thankfully. Right.

Eww Lumia. lol Oh ya, well I have a Samsung TV.
China loves Apple! SHOCK AND AWE PEOPLE! Stop the presses! *runs around in panic*

The design is gorgeous. Wonderful feel to it. It's thin but somehow feels comfortable when holding it. The screen is insanely beautiful, but I find the colours to be a bit garish, too much of a POP, in your face, LOUD. Haven't gotten much into the OS or used it enough to tell you about the battery life.LOL. I spit out of my coffee reading the first portion of your post.
It is a pretty phone for sure. Too bad I can't stand Android. I would rather have Samsung use Tizen. LOL. From the looks of it, they are trying to shift everything that way. haha But thank you for your impressions! I greatly appreciate it!
