I think good old Kentucky Bourbon is the best. I suggest that folks give it a try rather than write essays at each other "proving" your inherent correctness citing your favorite sources. There will be no changed minds resulting from this thread nor any thread on the internet, relax watch the video, and mutter stuff under your breath and worry about the new iPhones and Nexus' as they should be the last new phones of the year.
 
That seems to be standard operating procedure for the Android faithful - - the same as smartphone specifications were everything until Apple's recent mobile processors began to dominate the specifications. With the launch of the A10 processor in 2 weeks, Samsung owners are soon going to forget specifications ever existed. It's all going to be about "I know some guy who's Galaxy runs wicked great" and the old market share adage "Eat ___ : 100 Billion Flies Can't Be Wrong".

Lol
Yup, I know...
Specs were everything back in the gs3 gs4 days, Where quad and octa core CPUs were the **** and now 8GB of ram is being introduced on a Chinese oem device.
But now, denial sinks in, double standards sink in, and downplay anything that doesn't support their opionions.

Then when in doubt, defer to Marketshare. Same ****, different pile... And for some reason, I find entertainment in these "discussions":)

Hope you guys are having a great weekend!

Despicable. I'd never buy anything from a company like this.

Displaymate, IMO, is no different than the car mags that proclaim a winner or conclusion based on a bunch of measurements that the mag picks.
Measurements are still measurements. If i measure that my car uses 3 seconds from 0 km/h to 100 km/h, then that is a fact based out of my measurement.

And from that, i can build a conclusion out of it.

OK, let me get this straight.
[your] DisplayMate review is Gospel.
No, they are a reviewer like any other reviewer that review things to find out how good the things are. Are GSMArena, PocketNow, Engadget and so on 'GOSPEL' aswell just because they praise the Note7 in their conclusions, because it's an extremely good phone?

[my] Kapersky is exaggerating the android hacks to sell more of its products.
That's correct. You should never listens to that as long as it comes from antivirus companies, because they tend to be quite exaggerated over what the reality usually is.

[your] buddies never heard of any scratched plastic home buttons, so it is not a big deal and should be negated... especially the ones on XDA and forums alike... because these people don't matter
Again, your reading skills are pretty bad. Because you don't read what i'm writing, AT ALL. I have never said that my friends or whatever have never heard that the home button can't scratch. I'm saying that my friends or quite alot of others who have those phones from Samsung haven't experienced scratches on their home buttons or screens, even though they know it can happen.

Do you know the difference from experience things to hearing about things?

[my] article that stated OVER 10million found hacks in the wild is exaggerated again you opine that it is really only 2-3million, so 2-3million is not a large enough number to care, so should also be negated, even though 2-3 million is about half of your country's population... but yes, you are right, you and your buddies are more important measure ---and because you said it, it is Gospel.
Articles about how many peoples or devices that are affected by a malware in Android or Windows is usually exaggerated ALOT in the media. It has always been like that, so it's nothing new.

I don't care about if the number is half of my country's population, because what is 2-3 million out of several billion devices?

Exactly. It's such a low number that it's almost non-existent

[your] buddies and your "big forums" never said anything about scratched plastic home buttons, so for sure, you know that there are only a "few souls" that complain on "small forums" like XDA.

I get it. You and your buddies are the Gospel, and my sources are just deluded BS.
Again, read my reply over. I have never said anyone of those i'm talking about have never heard about getting scratches on their phones. I'm just saying that none of them have seen or experienced scratches on their screens on home buttons.

How freaking hard is this to understand? And how freaking hard is it for you to understand the difference from hearing about something to actually experience something?

Blowing tiny small issues up like the 10Million hacked devices in the wild? and NEVER EVER believe in the media? Ok, is that your way of burying your head in the sand? If it is, just say so, I'll leave you alone.
Oh, I forgot, sorry, don't be mad... But look at this one on the PlayStore from aug1,2016:
http://www.securityweek.com/android-trojan-downloaded-over-28-million-times-google-play

Just a hint on where I get these articles: don't use google.
I know, 28million downloads were done by the same 1 person that works at Kaspersky right?
I'm not saying i don't believe the topics about someone downloading malware apps. I'm saying the number of affected users or on how many times a malware have been downloaded are extremely exaggerated like it is time after times in those types of articles. Again, you are so bad at reading that i don't know why you are even arguing when you don't read the damn things we write to you?

LOL, again, you are not making your case here any stronger when you don't read the damn topics you are linking me. If you read the topic you linked there, you will see that it wasn't downloaded 28 million times, but 2.8 million times.

Do you even read, bro?

And again, what is 2.8 million times downloaded between those 150 apps compared to how many downloads there is on Google Play Store between those several billion users worldwide every day?

That's nothing and nothing to worry about.

No, I base my arguments from information from well written articles [similar to well written article that is part of your commandments from DisplayMate]...
Just keep using your anecdotes and keep your selective hearing aid on MAX. How's it working out for you?
Yeah, like i base my arguments from information from well written articles to, like DisplayMate, GSMArena, PocketNow and so on. You don't like those sites, because they aren't saying the iPhone is the best phone anylonger. Well, if a webpage is 100% honest, like the webpages i mentioned over is, then they will be taken as seriously and professionals.

No, the article title states OVER 10Million.
Still doesn't make that number even remotely close to the reality of what that reported number is. That's the thing.

you seem to have lots of conspiracy theories on Kaspersky and the 10million exageration hacks... so why can't I opine and theorize that Sansung didn't give Displaymate EXTRa AD dollars??
dOh*
So can you tell me why Apple didn't pay Displaymate money for the very positive reviews of the screens Displaymate have tested on Apple's iPhones and iPads then?

Nope, stop defering...
bottom line, plastic is weak and should NOT be used for the surface of a fingerprint reader PERIOD.
ok... lets put it another way:
let's not consider any use cases, and only look at 2 fingerprint readers: 1 is made of sapphire and the other of plastic. which is better????? and which would you like to use???? let me guess, you don't have fingernails (and no keys), so you don't care.
Well, i have never stated that using plastic home button is actually a good thing, have I?

All i have said is that i haven't seen my Galaxy phones, others friends phones that have a Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S7 or other peoples around with Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S7 phones that have had any issues with scratches on the home button on those phones, just because they are out of plastic. That's what i have said.

And then you are trying to turn around the discussion to something else that i have never talked about.


Ok, I know you don't like admitting that burn-in on the DEMo models can also happen to someone's pone...
but our arguments are all relative. Durability is all relative.
so here's the MAGICal question that will put this burn-in issue to rest.
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OR SEEN AN IPHONE DEMO MODEL IPS SCREEN BURNED IN?
THEN,
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A LATE MODEL GALAXY DEMO MODEL SCREEN BURNED IN?
I rest my case.
You are talking about demo models in a phone store here that usually gets abused and not the units the normal users are using in normal life. We don't buy demo models of a phone from a phone store, so why should we care about demo models?

If you looks away from demo models placed out in the stores, then how many phones with Super AMOLED screens have you seen with burn-in issue in real life?

I have never seen any Samsung phones in real life that have that issue. Ofc, now i'm not saying things like that can't happen, because it can. Peoples who just leaves the screen on forever that doesn't turn the screen off after like 2-3 minutes, is more likely to experience some burn-in issues.

But then, who leaves their screens on forever or all the time?

oh, AND WHILE WE ARE AT IT... HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A SCRATCHED TOUCH ID SENSOR BEFORE?
THEN
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN PLASTIC SCRATCHED BY A WOMAN'S FINGERNAIL BEFORE?

But to answer your first question. The answer here is yes. Now that's not the only issues i have found about the Touch ID sensor on the iPhones though. But the other issues it has is for another discussion.

To the 2nd question. Fingernails can scratch plastic. But like i have said, it's not an issue on most of Samsungs phones that have a fingerprint reader. Simply because the fingerprint reader on the Galaxy phones are shaped so it's not that easy to hit the actual button with the nails when you are unlocking the phone that way.

On the Touch ID sensor on the iPhones, it's much easier to hit the glass on the sensor, because the button is circle shaped that makes the nail to most likely hit the button more often, because it's bigger than the buttons on the Samsung phones.

Do you want me to post that video of the iphone and galaxy phone again?
They are side by side. One screen is flickering and the other isn't. The flickering does come from convergence of the camera's fps and the pulse-frequency of light from the amoled screen. Iphone's backlight has a frequency high enough to not flicker.
forget it, here's the video again:
Bottom line, one is flickering.
The camera sees it. Just like fluorescent tube lights flicker at a lower frequency vs incandescent bulbs.
and dude, I posted what PWM is for in post #556...
Then why isn't the screen on the Galaxy Note7 flickering here?


Ahh, exactly. The screen doesn't flicker for the human eye. It depends only on how the camera is filming and what kind of options you are using on the camera. And why should we care about seeing the screen flicker on a video just because a camera is not set up correctly?

It's how the eyes are seeing it that matters. Thus, the screen doesn't flicker.

ehh... what's the difference between the s6 and s7 -other than a better camera?
There is alot more differences between them than just the camera: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=6849&idPhone3=7821

ehh... what's the difference between the Note5 and Note6 -other than a better camera?
Hint: It's called Note7 and not Note6. Anyways, there are tons of differences from the Note5 to the Note7: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?&idPhone1=7431&idPhone3=8082

btw, I'm very very UN-serious in this discussion. It's on the net Breh, it doesn't get more serious.

Just like how you like to downplay my article numbers with your opinion...
I opine that you are boring our fellow forum users with semantics, "he said she" said.
How's that?

Bottom line is that sapphire glass is stronger than plastic. And you don't know how many scratched buttons are in the wild. Take a look at the picture attached... And look at your links you gave me of light scratches--- and besides, I asked you if YOU have seen any scratched buttons.

Also, you have gotta stop jumping to conclusions with your biased opinions: like saying all articles on malware inflate the numbers for effect and then saying that a few million hacks is "nothing".
All the while, you are using anecdotal evidence of you (1) and a few buddies (3) -as hard fact to argue with.

And as for

You do realize that...
Actually, I KNOW that you know Foxconn builds/built for Sansung and Motorola, Microsoft, Nokia and etc. So I'm not downplaying "slavery"... But I'll ask you, how good does it feel that Foxconn slavery builds your phones too?

And you do realize that there's a big difference between employer and contractor right?
If you read he article, workers that worked FOR sansung directly is being sued and reported to bribe witnesses (family members of the deceased) to stay quiet about the matter.

Here's the thing, Apple uses Foxconn, yes, so they have a SOCIAL responsibility to TRY to source from sustainable and ethical vendors.
But as a legal standpoint, workers that suffer in Foxconn plants cannot* sue Apple directly* for wrongdoing.
But in Samsung's case, they are sued directly and are using underhanded tactics (and Korean government influence) to control the situation.

It's like this...
If a person works for a company making windshield glass for Ford, GM mainly but also some to Smart (Mercedes), and an issue happens, gets hurt on the job because of employer negligence, YOU SUE THE EMPLOYER, not Ford, not GM, not Mercedes.
Get it???

Actually, under your crazy blind logic, the Samsung chip fab employees that got sick should Sue APPLE because they were working on the Apple A-chips Eh?

Apple has done "something" about it, but i'm afraid they are doing way to little about it. There have been several documentaries about the working conditions from the workers who put together Apple's products there where it has been shown times after times that the condition at Foxconn, are BAD, and i mean REALLY BAD.

Apple does to little to fix the issues there and they will most likely never do much more to fix the situation there in the future yet. If Apple had been toally serious about this, they would have fixed it years ago.

But yeah, Apple doesn't care, because profits is more important than everything else.

I have no doubt in my mind that the "pure" Adroid OS that comes directly out of the Google pipe is a phenomenal OS, and maybe that's what the Nexus phones run I'm not sure, but by the time hardware manufacturers like Samsung are finished stretching and bending it to fit in whatever combination of hardware they're loading it on, and top it off with bloatware crap, you're bound to get a poorly optimized package.

It reminds me too much of my Windows days when I'd buy a new laptop, spend an entire day prying all the preloaded crap off of it that I could, then spend the rest of the laptops couple-year-life desperately trying to keep the thing running at a decent pace while hoping my antivirus software can stay ahead of the never ending bombardment of malware. Two or three years tops and it was a paperweight after that. Then I bought a 2011 MacBook Pro about five years ago and it's pretty much running like the day I bought it. I recently doubled the RAM and decided to keep the OS on Mavericks to hopefully squeeze some more years out of what has been far and away the best computer I've ever bought. My current iPhone (5S) is still running fantastic outside of the battery life and has never let me down for what I need it for. I'll be upgrading to something else his fall, likely a 6S, so I'm glad to hear it's holding up so well after its first year.

Bottom line is that sapphire glass is stronger than plastic. And you don't know how many scratched buttons are in the wild. Take a look at the picture attached... And look at your links you gave me of light scratches--- and besides, I asked you if YOU have seen any scratched buttons.
I know that Sapphire is much much stronger than plastic. But that's not what we are talking about. I mean, come on. Don't put the discussion we have over to something i'm not talking about. Because, that just shows that you are infact out of arguments and have to put it over to something else to try and get something else to talk about.

I gave you proofs of scratches on the Touch ID button and then you are denying it. Nice one. However, i didn't say it was an actual issue or a big deal though. So even though i did show you that scratches happens on the Touch ID button, it doesn't mean anything that it is a problem of any sorts.

But still, you denies it.

Also, you have gotta stop jumping to conclusions with your biased opinions: like saying all articles on malware inflate the numbers for effect and then saying that a few million hacks is "nothing".
All the while, you are using anecdotal evidence of you (1) and a few buddies (3) -as hard fact to argue with.
I use my real life observations while you use a forum as an indication of a problem that barely exists. How about that?

Maybe you should go around and look for yourself on how many peoples with a Samsung phone that has a fingerprint scanner that is actually scratched?

Because this will tell you more of what the real situation is. Yeah omg, some few peoples have scratched their home buttons. That must be A HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE problem then, right?

Actually, I KNOW that you know Foxconn builds/built for Sansung and Motorola, Microsoft, Nokia and etc. So I'm not downplaying "slavery"... But I'll ask you, how good does it feel that Foxconn slavery builds your phones too?
You are to stubborn to see the real issue here. Let me explain. Samsung uses Foxconn to, but that's not the issue here. The issue is that Apple pays the workers at Foxconn very poorly and doersn't lift a finger to fix the poor working conditions at Foxconn for those workers. Just because Samsung is using Foxconn to, doesn't automaticly mean that Samsung is paying the workers at Foxconn as poorly as Apple does or let their workers work in conditions that is as bad as Apple let their workers work in.

Talk about taking the discussion over to something different that is complete nonsense.

And you do realize that there's a big difference between employer and contractor right?
If you read he article, workers that worked FOR sansung directly is being sued and reported to bribe witnesses (family members of the deceased) to stay quiet about the matter.
Have i ever said that Samsung doesn't do anything stupid?

Again, you throws in something different AGAIN that is not part of our discussion, just to have something new to argue against me for.

Here's the thing, Apple uses Foxconn, yes, so they have a SOCIAL responsibility to TRY to source from sustainable and ethical vendors.
But as a legal standpoint, workers that suffer in Foxconn plants cannot* sue Apple directly* for wrongdoing.
But in Samsung's case, they are sued directly and are using underhanded tactics (and Korean government influence) to control the situation.
Apple is the absolute biggest contractor to Foxconn over what Samsung and others are. Therefor Apple have a much higher responsibility to take care of the working conditions there over what Samsung and others have. But again, Apple does little to fix the working conditions and the payment for it's workers. So it will continue to be a hellhole for Foxconn as long as Apple doesn't care.

It's like this...
If a person works for a company making windshield glass for Ford, GM mainly but also some to Smart (Mercedes), and an issue happens, gets hurt on the job because of employer negligence, YOU SUE THE EMPLOYER, not Ford, not GM, not Mercedes.
Get it???
Again, this is not what we are talking about. How many times do you have to throw in other arguments over what i'm talking about before you will realize that it wont work in your favour?

If a car company gets information about some few peoples having some issues with getting the front window of the car getting scratches to easily, then this has nothing to do with denying that issue. This has ONLY to do with saying that it doesn't has to be a big deal EVEN if there is reported issues with this.

Just because someone have the issue, doesn't mean it's an actual issue for everyone else. You think it must be an issue for everyone just because some few peoples have reported about an issue THEY got.

Just because someone is writing about an issue on the internet, doesn't mean anything that it actually is a problem for anyone else. That's the whole point here that you are to stubborn to see.

Actually, under your crazy blind logic, the Samsung chip fab employees that got sick should Sue APPLE because they were working on the Apple A-chips Eh?
Samsung like everyone else messes things up from time to time. Just because an incident happened there, doesn't mean it's actually a problem or that it's something that happens all the time.

Or, let me turn around this to this. How many peoples at Foxconn that works for Apple have taken suicide and how many peoples at Foxconn that work for Samsung that have taken suicide?

Oh, i bet you didn't see that one coming eh?

LOL, again, you are not making your case here any stronger when you don't read the damn topics you are linking me. If you read the topic you linked there, you will see that it wasn't downloaded 28 million times, but 2.8 million times.

What are you talking about?
It says Over*2.8M maybe--- but those guys always underestimate Effects OF ThE Virus!! Don't you know? So really, when they say 2.8, we all know that it is really 28M or even over 50M!

I'm merely interpreting like you do, with just basic personal logic. Why not?

Apple has done "something" about it, but i'm afraid they are doing way to little about it. There have been several documentaries about the working conditions from the workers who put together Apple's products there where it has been shown times after times that the condition at Foxconn, are BAD, and i mean REALLY BAD.

Apple does to little to fix the issues there and they will most likely never do much more to fix the situation there in the future yet. If Apple had been toally serious about this, they would have fixed it years ago.

But yeah, Apple doesn't care, because profits is more important than everything else.
Foxconn assembles products for Apple and Samsung and who knows else. If you aren't aware that apple is doing what it can, while Samsung has essentially remained mum on this topic, you can easily do a web search.

All companies, including Foxconn are entitled to their profits, but your last statement smacks of hyperbole because you don't really know. Saying Apple could have fixed it, is like saying you should give up on tech products and lead a more spiritual and less money oriented lifestyle if you were really that concerned about what happens abroad. Because every product you buy that has a part made in china, is an implicit endorsement of what goes on there.

Along with all the other excuses like:

yeah, those are just excuses, and not a big deal.

Ok, give me a week or so... And I'll go around and look at everyone's plastic home buttons... And I'll report back my anecdotal findings.
Here's a more thorough explanation:

"Anecdotal evidence is evidence from anecdotes. Where only one or a few anecdotes are presented, there is a larger chance that they may be unreliable due to cherry-picked or otherwise non-representative samples of typical cases.[1][2]"

"Apple pays Foxconn workers very poorly and doesn't lift a finger to fix the poor working conditions..."

Really?

Wow. Just wow.
Are you sure Apple pays Foxconn workers? And are you sure Apple hasn't (for the past several years) lifted a finger in improving Foxconn working conditions? ? ?
Here's proof: but of course, you'll just call it propaganda, but nevertheless, I want you to learn, so here:
http://mobile.nytimes.com/2012/12/2...tronics-factories-in-china.html?_r=0&referer=

It's a good read... Is it perfect? No, far from it... But has Apple "lifted a finger"? Refer to the article.
Then deny it by saying it's a lie or propaganda written back in 2012 to spite you and your buddies' narrow view of life outside of Norway.

No, they're not stupid, each and every step this company makes is a calculated backstab and despicable disgrace... But I won't change the subject on you... Cuz you mad.



Again, this is not what we are talking about. How many times do you have to throw in other arguments over what i'm talking about before you will realize that it wont work in your favour?
And why do you get to dictate what we talk about? answer: because the things I want to talk about is the exact things you want to deny.
Imagine if a real Apple employee sued Apple? Or if Apple exec gets caught whoring? Wow eh?
Besides, when I brought those things up, it was a response to another poster... Go look man.

Umm... You completely missed the point of the analogy.
Read it again, and understand that I'm pointing out to you that apple's issue with Foxconn employees is DIFFERENT than Samsung's issue with their OWN EMPLOYEES.
Pls go and read it again.

Or, let me turn around this to this. How many peoples at Foxconn that works for Apple have taken suicide and how many peoples at Foxconn that work for Samsung that have taken suicide?

Oh, i bet you didn't see that one coming eh?
no, I didn't see that coming.
Why? I don't have any clue which workers at Foxconn committed suicide because they were working on Apple products or they were working on Samsung products. Do you? Go find out for me mate, and I'll go do a survey on how many scratched plastic home buttons here.

However, I can tell you, according to the news article on how many families in Korea have been affected by working at sansung chip fabs. THEIR OWN EMPLOYEES that is---then, where the issue is (again) is that sansung DENIED their employee claims and then GOT CAUGHT for trying to BRIBE their way out of the case hitting the media.

You don't see a difference - do you?
If you don't, I can't help you.

All you need to do is to read the articles and use your brain a little, and you will figure out really fast if it's clickbait or scaremongering. It's that easy. But hey, you don't read the articles (was proven when you said 28 million users was affected by a malware when it was only 2.8 million) anyways, so it's not hard to see that you don't know if the articles are clickbaits or scaremongering then.

Yes, both of the cases with the scratching on the home button on the Samsung phones and on the Touch ID buttons on some iPhones are pretty much non-existent for the normal users who doesn't sit with a knife on the home buttons and scratches them like Jerry does.

how about I just repeat your Hi-Q comment, "my real life observations".
Real life observation and real life experience is better than a forum post claiming something.

Apple pays Foxconn who then pays their own workers. But Foxconn can't pay their workers more than what they get paid by Apple anyways. That was the whole point. You did know this, but you had to make an argument out of that to because you was out of arguments to my original argument.

Yes, again, like i have said earlier. Foxconn have improved. But like many are still saying, it's far from enough and Apple need to get their heads out of their asses and do something about it.

Stupid? Samsung?
No, they're not stupid, each and every step this company makes is a calculated backstab and despicable disgrace... But I won't change the subject on you... Cuz you mad.
Then i'm afraid you are uninformed of what Samsung is and does today. Again, i'm not saying Samsung haven't done anything stupid or dumb. All companies does something stupid and dumb from time to time, so it's something that isn't really news of some sorts.

But what you are saying just shows the pure hate and anger towards Samsung from you and it's a good indication that you are a true Samsung hateboi, because you probably know good that they makes way better products than Apple does today where you are angry because of that.

But if that post was to another person, then ofc i'm sorry. It's not easy all the time to have full controll over everything that's being said here.

Umm... You completely missed the point of the analogy.
Read it again, and understand that I'm pointing out to you that apple's issue with Foxconn employees is DIFFERENT than Samsung's issue with their OWN EMPLOYEES.

The point is still that Apple does little or pretty much nothing to fix all of the issues Foxconn have with the workers who put together Apple's products. Apple has fixed some issues through the years, but that miles way from being enough. As long as Apple get the most profits they can, they simply gives a rat ass about the contractor they use. Everyone knows that Apple prioritizes maximum profits over anything else.

no, I didn't see that coming.

Ofc Samsung might have more reported cases about this as Samsung is waaaaaay way bigger than Apple when it comes to producing producs. Look at this:

Yes, Samsung even have it's own military. And Samsung is also a very big part in the 'Burj Khalifa' building in Dubai to, which is the worlds highest skyscraper.

We've obviously beat a dead horse...
And doesn't look like we've gotten anywhere.
You are still holding onto your opinions and personal findings... I'll leave it at that. Not a big deal.

But as I promised in the prev quote, here's some proof that Amoled is not all that.
I took the time to take some pics of a new s7 and note7 when I was at Costco and here they are, labeled.
I call the issue "pixel hang"... The printing industry will call it "miss-registration".

Pls look at them with an open mind. And let me know if you can see/understand what I'm referring to.

The Google search bar I always refer to:
Look at the pixel hang/miss-registration
ILmNaR.png


Pictures taken with my iPhone with a macro lens...
p8jcX8.png


Do you see the pixel hang/ miss-registration?
pKcphw.png


This pixel hang is apparent on ALL hard edges, on ALL displays using the "sub-pixel". Pentile or Diamond pattern amoleds BOTH have it because of the SUBPIXEL.
PsO7vL.png


Below is an example of "colour registration" they in talking about.
aiAhw9.jpg


Then, here's the iPhone's regular Rgb IPS lcd close-up... Notice NO pixel hang/miss-registration.
6C6Z65.jpg


Because the ips lcd displays DONT use the SUBPIXEL arrangement, there's NO pixel hang... Here's the same pic zoomed in: absolutely sharp, great looking edges.
jUZJRT.png


Next photo is of the LG G4's IPS display.
hBMQtX.jpg



As you can see in the Amoled screen close ups, the pixel hang is very apparent.
Without the macro lens, you can still see it. I can see it, can you? You have an S6 - look at the hard edges, and you will see what Samsung has been feeding people.
OrqcQ3.jpg


Now pls keep in mind, I know that Amoled screens have advantages like HDR capability because of its high contrast/Colour gamut, infinite blacks, etc
But this is a disadvantage I cannot overlook. I've always noticed it since the Gs3 and Gs5,6,7 have gotten better because of the higher res... But still noticeable. Sorry to burst your bubble... This will not work for VR: having the screen 2" from your eyes.
..
I hope that when the Amoled screen is implemented into the iPhone, they find a way to NOT use a SUBPIXEL design.

Anyways,
Displaymate does have good reviews, measurements, and factual figures- yes, BUT This is an important issue (plus screen flicker) that Displaymate has forgotten to note in their reviews, therefore, their conclusion may not be accurate.

I trust DisplayMate in what they say from their measurements and findings about the Super AMOLED screens in the same way as you trust those who says the screen on the iPhone are great for being an IPS LCD screen.

Without the macro lens, you can still see it. I can see it, can you? You have an S6 - look at the hard edges, and you will see what Samsung has been feeding people.

Now pls keep in mind, I know that Amoled screens have advantages like HDR capability because of its high contrast/Colour gamut, infinite blacks, etc
But this is a disadvantage I cannot overlook. I've always noticed it since the Gs3 and Gs5,6,7 have gotten better because of the higher res... But still noticeable. Sorry to burst your bubble... This will not work for VR: having the screen 2" from your eyes.
..
I hope that when the Amoled screen is implemented into the iPhone, they find a way to NOT use a SUBPIXEL design.

Anyways,
Displaymate does have good reviews, measurements, and factual figures- yes, BUT This is an important issue (plus screen flicker) that Displaymate has forgotten to note in their reviews, therefore, their conclusion may not be accurate.
I removed all of the pictures so the quote doesn't get so big.

Anyways. Yes, this is something that is noticable only when you take the screen under a microscope or are taking a picture of the screen while you are extremely close on devices that have the screen on all the time, aka demo models for example. Nothing of what you shows are noticable even when you are using VR (which gets really close to the screen) on my screen. And i do believe that this is noticable as you are using a demo model to show this which doesn't represents the screens the normal users get from the store when they buy the phones.

Remember that the demo models usually have the screens on all the times. Therefor, it can't be compared with the screens the normal users get that have the screen to turn off every 1-5 minutes.

Not only that, but those things you show on the pictures doesn't seems to be an issue for DisplayMate and others who use the Super AMOLED screens. So i believe peoples would complain like no tomorrow if the screens would have had those issues in a bigger scale. So i think this is nothing to worry about for the normal user.

So in my eyes, this is nothing to worry about and what you shows doesn't represents the real world on how the Super AMOLED screens are.

EDIT: And as for Apple that does nothing to improve the working conditions at Foxconn, then you should read this report that says exactly what i have been saying, that the conditions there haven't improved at all: http://www.chinalaborwatch.org/upfile/2016_08_23/Pegatron-report FlAug.pdf

And also this one: https://9to5mac.com/2016/07/05/foxconn-pegatron-apple-margins/ where Apple is even trying to lower the payments towards Foxconn and the others JUST to gain more profits.

So do you see what i'm talking about now that Apple gives a rat ass about the workers and the working conditions at Foxconn and only cares about the profits?

I trust DisplayMate in what they say from their measurements and findings about the Super AMOLED screens in the same way as you trust those who says the screen on the iPhone are great for being an IPS LCD screen.
I know that you trust your sources and believe my sources to be exaggerations and shills... We already went through that. I've accepted it.

I'm glad you see it too... Now that you see it, you can't un-see it, and I apologize for that. I once loved my Bose audio system too... Until someone showed me what a real system should sound like.
As for "microscope" comment, you can blatantly see it even NOT using any macro lens:
OrqcQ3.jpg

This pic is NOT taken with macro lens. Look at the Google search bar. It simply looks out of focus.
Is it hard to see... And , most ppl won't notice... But aren't displaymate "experts" and we- self proclaimed pros and Connoisseur
Of the So called Best Screen On the market?
Even my iPhone camera can see it!

Remember that the demo models usually have the screens on all the times. Therefor, it can't be compared with the screens the normal users get that have the screen to turn off every 1-5 minutes.
And as for the "demo model" ... It's a Note7. How long you think that has been on display for? The subpixel miss-registration DOESNT get worse with time. It is an inherent problem with the base design: subpixel (diamond or whatever pattern) is flawed. I'm sorry, pls stop making excuses for Samsung and rationalizing.

Not only that, but those things you show on the pictures doesn't seems to be an issue for DisplayMate and others who use the Super AMOLED screens.

I know it's not an issue for displaymate... They are wrong. Thanks, I know I'm entitled to my opinions too.

But really, this just illustrates that amoled "high pixel count" is just SPEC garbage that because it uses a Subpixel arrangement, the sharpness is mitigated and you get a blurry , mess: ESPECIALLY in VR situations.
This subpixel Cheat (yes, the amoled screens' advertised pixel count is a lie) is not what displaymate claims as BEST. Does this look like "best" sharpness to you???

So in my eyes, this is nothing to worry about and what you shows doesn't represents the real world on how the Super AMOLED screens are.
And in my eyes, you represent a real world sheep that is herded by Google's 80% android sheep-share.

You know, I was willing to stop beating a dead horse.........

I will NEVER contest that the working conditions at Foxconn-pegatron or MOST of the other gigantic factories in China are horrible, unconstitutional, unliveable, and the workers are grossly underpaid.
and Apple cares about profits... BUT I stand by my point that APPLE DOES "lift a finger"(refer to nyt article) to at least TRY to fix and control those issues by mandating their suppliers abide by their human rights rules.
I hope you do know that Foxconn and their sister company Pegatron are NOT owned by Apple and NO, Apple doesn't pay the workers at Foxx/Pegatron directly. But your tone really proves that you are misunderstanding the situation there. We can go deeper if you like... But question is, HOW do you know and do you have PROOF that Samsung or Microsoft (which uses Foxx/Pegatron too) are "PAYING" those employees LESS? Hello?

Here's the thing, everything is relative *** nothing is perfect, but we can compare things, products to get a greater Perspective.

-the 10month old iPhone 6s is FASTER in real world performance than a brand new Samsung flagship.

-Sapphire is stronger than Plastic. Fact

-iOS has vulnerabilities BUT get fixed and patched - and EVERYONE gets the patches.Yet Android hacks are indeed InTHEwild. proven in the millions, and a small percentage only get the patches.

-iPhone screens may be less saturated, less bright, less contrast, but are proven to be reliable and supersharp... Which many still prefer over the Flickering, less durable, miss-registered-hang mess that is the Subpixel Amoled.

-AND FINALLY, while Apple has many issues regarding human rights in China, and are TRYING to work things out (with their VENDORS-contractors) like the OVERTIME/underpaid story you've sent me...
It is STILL better in comparison to what Samsung is doing with THEIR OWN EMPLOYEES (not Vendor-contractors) and then trying to BRIBE the deceased employee's father to keep quiet and out of the press (just one of the many cases).

You see a difference? Hello? Mcfly?

You see, both are bad... But one is about OVERTIME and not paid enough and the other is about denying sick employee claims and then Bribing! Wtf--- hate toward Samsung is warranted.
Yet, you're just mad that Apple is making lots of $$ and knows how to negotiate as a business.

And then you're trying to tell me to change my mind because Samsung makes Way more products like Skyscrapers and Warships and what? tvs microwaves dishwashers and washers (that catch fire,btw)?

Let me ask you... How much do you think Samsung made in profits building ships ??? I'll tell you: under $1B. Yawn... Who cares... Google makes war robots with Boston Dynamics amd it's just a sham to cover up the fact that they only make $ by datamining and leeching off suckers that freely fork over their info/privacy to save $few $ on their smartphones- wake up man.

Here. Read this.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...c01f82-1dd0-4e52-aa52-63ccac3900d1_story.html

And STILL AN ISSUE TODAY:
http://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/nation/2016/08/10/88504582/


"
“The social mood is changing in Korea, and I think Samsung sensed that,” said Kim Sang-jo, an economist at Hansung University who specializes in the conglomerate. “The [rare diseases] had become a symbolic problem for Samsung. It was starting to be seen as a very arrogant and stubborn company.”


Concern about Samsung’s factory conditions first surfaced seven years ago, when two former employees who had worked side by side, Hwang Yu-mi and Lee Suk-yeong, died of leukemia within months of each other. Hwang was 23, and her father, a taxi driver, felt the deaths couldn’t be a coincidence.

In the years since, about 200 other people have claimed sicknesses from Samsung production lines, mostly from the Giheung plant 20 miles south of Seoul, which manufactures semiconductors and liquid crystal displays."

Ok, again, under your logic, these or people, making lcd displays are probably making them for Apple because Apple uses LCD... So they SHOULD BE SUING APPLE and not their employer Samsung,,, just like how Foxconn employee issues are APPles responsibility too!!! Wow Eh? Relative and perspective. Thank you.

To be fair to Tom-Helge, it must be very challenging to live with the cognitive dissonance of having bought into the promotional hype of the Samsung Note 7 and then having to live with an inferior piece of kit. In recent years Samsung has spent up to 4x (!) as much on advertising as Apple and Microsoft combined, in order to trick less informed consumers into spending too much on too little. Can you imagine feeling so upset with your iPhone that you would search out a Samsung rumor forum, and then spend hours writing defensive posts about it? I urge MacRumors members to extend their empathy to the Tom-Helge's of the world, who have been bamboozled into a misplaced loyalty. :(

Again, if the issue had been that easy to see, why is no one complaining about it and why doesn't i see that on my Galaxy S6 edge+?

Heck, i didn't even see that kind of things on the demo model of the Note7 i was testing out yesterday at a phone store. So i don't see the problem.

Not only that, but if that issue you are showing actually had been a real issue, don't you think way more peoples would have complained about it?

But then ask yourself, why is so few peoples complaining about it?

Because they don't see anything of what you are showing anywhere.

And as for the "demo model" ... It's a Note7. How long you think that has been on display for? The subpixel miss-registration DOESNT get worse with time. It is an inherent problem with the base design: subpixel (diamond or whatever pattern) is flawed. I'm sorry, pls stop making excuses for Samsung and rationalizing.
Again, a demo model is a demo model. They are usually abused way more than what the devices for the normal users are. So it's much easier to come across screen or other issues because of that.

I know it's not an issue for displaymate... They are wrong. Thanks, I know I'm entitled to my opinions too.
DisplayMate is not wrong. They know EXACTLY what they are doing. They are professional within screen calibration market like they have been for decades, so i doubt that they don't know what they are doing. DisplayMate or no other reviewers that tests out the Samsung smartphones with a Super AMOLED screen are seeing anything of the issues you are describing.

But really, this just illustrates that amoled "high pixel count" is just SPEC garbage that because it uses a Subpixel arrangement, the sharpness is mitigated and you get a blurry , mess: ESPECIALLY in VR situations.
This subpixel Cheat (yes, the amoled screens' advertised pixel count is a lie) is not what displaymate claims as BEST. Does this look like "best" sharpness to you???
I use the Gear VR on a daily basis and everything there are really sharp and clear. The only issue is that the 1440p resolution is a bit low for VR. We have to get to 4k screens (from smartphones) before the Gear VR will be really great.

And in my eyes, you represent a real world sheep that is herded by Google's 80% android sheep-share.
Nope. I stand by the real life facts that everyone is saying and showing in tons of reviews while you stand by a broken demo model of a phone as a reference.

You don't even cares about what all of the other reviews are saying, just because you found a Galaxy S7 / Note7 or whatever with a somewhat broken display and thinks that this is how real life is about those phones.

It's not hard to see who are right and wrong here.

You know, I was willing to stop beating a dead horse.........

I will NEVER contest that the working conditions at Foxconn-pegatron or MOST of the other gigantic factories in China are horrible, unconstitutional, unliveable, and the workers are grossly underpaid.
and Apple cares about profits... BUT I stand by my point that APPLE DOES "lift a finger"(refer to nyt article) to at least TRY to fix and control those issues by mandating their suppliers abide by their human rights rules.

But question is, HOW do you know and do you have PROOF that Samsung or Microsoft (which uses Foxx/Pegatron too) are "PAYING" those employees LESS? Hello?
Again, Apple does way to little to fix the issues at Foxconn like i have said and what my sources are saying to. Apple says they are looking into those issues, but the reality shows that pretty much nothing gets changed in the end which are the whole point and which are the problem.

Samsung and Microsoft and others are using Foxconn to, but they doesn't even comes remotely close to use Foxconn as much as Apple does. And because Apple is Foxconn's biggest contractor, then Apple is the one who have the most responsibility fix the issues there. Not only that, but i have never hard that the workers who make Samsung's products or Microsoft's products at Foxconn are underpaid. Have you?

-the 10month old iPhone 6s is FASTER in real world performance than a brand new Samsung flagship.
Luckily, there are 1 million other things on a smartphone today that are as much important as the speed on a phone is today. Yeah, Samsung's phones lacks the speed of the iPhones, but what about the other gazzillion things the iPhones lacks over the Samsung smartphones?

That isn't important, or?

-Sapphire is stronger than Plastic. Fact
I have never denied that and i have never been talking about sapphire as i was originally talking about scratches on a plastic home button. So not sure why you did bring that up into that discussion.

-iOS has vulnerabilities BUT get fixed and patched - and EVERYONE gets the patches.Yet Android hacks are indeed InTHEwild. proven in the millions, and a small percentage only get the patches.
You are wrong here. Everyone who uses an Android phone with the Google services gets 95% of the security fixes via the Google Play-services. The rest of the fixes is something that comes with an Android update which usually are the most critical security holes. So i would say that most gets the security fixes on Android.

-iPhone screens may be less saturated, less bright, less contrast, but are proven to be reliable and supersharp... Which many still prefer over the Flickering, less durable, miss-registered-hang mess that is the Subpixel Amoled.
Again, the Super AMOLED screens doesn't flicker.

Do you even know what PWM is and what it's meant for?

And did you know that Super AMOLED screens have the double of Hz than what the LCD screens have?

LCD screens have 120 Hz while Super AMOLED have 240 Hz. So i doubt Super AMOLED screens are flickering. Or why isn't the Super AMOLED screen here flickering here?:

Or why isn't the screen on the Galaxy S6 edge+ here flickering as it have an older screen?



Oh, because they don't flicker. It's just how the camera is video recording that is making that visible like i have said multiple times already. But you won't even listen to that.

So stop with the flickering nonsense.

-AND FINALLY, while Apple has many issues regarding human rights in China, and are TRYING to work things out (with their VENDORS-contractors) like the OVERTIME/underpaid story you've sent me...
It is STILL better in comparison to what Samsung is doing with THEIR OWN EMPLOYEES (not Vendor-contractors) and then trying to BRIBE the deceased employee's father to keep quiet and out of the press (just one of the many cases).
The thing that they 'ARE TRYING' is just something they say to please their shareholders and investors. Like the sources i have shown you, pretty much nothing have been changed in the end. Yeah, you can say that might be trying, but a company with that much cash is able to solve anything if they actually cares about fixing their ***** over caring over their profits. That's a fact.

You see, both are bad... But one is about OVERTIME and not paid enough and the other is about denying sick employee claims and then Bribing! Wtf--- hate toward Samsung is warranted.
Yet, you're just mad that Apple is making lots of $$ and knows how to negotiate as a business.
Nope, i'm just laughing my ass off that Apple is ripping you all off while they are doing mass tax avoidance in Ireland while they later sits and boast about how much money they have and so on while their blind customers thinks that's good.

And then you're trying to tell me to change my mind because Samsung makes Way more products like Skyscrapers and Warships and what? tvs microwaves dishwashers and washers (that catch fire,btw)?
Yes, Samsung makes a hell of a lot more products than just smartphones, tablets and computers. Samsung have been in the business way longer than Apple have been and Apple doesn't have as much experience in making good products as Samsung does, because what Apple does is to put together a product from using other brands stuffs. So a Samsung phone that is entirely made from only Samsung parts, are way better than just using different parts from different brands and then gets put together by uneducated slaves at Foxconn.

Let me ask you... How much do you think Samsung made in profits building ships ??? I'll tell you: under $1B. Yawn... Who cares... Google makes war robots with Boston Dynamics amd it's just a sham to cover up the fact that they only make $ by datamining and leeching off suckers that freely fork over their info/privacy to save $few $ on their smartphones- wake up man.
I would like to see some sources on your claims. Samsung as a brand between all of it's divisions is making way more money than Apple does. Apple only makes more money than what Samsung Electronics Inc (who makes the smartphones and tablets ansd such) is making. So i doubt that Samsung only makes 1 billion dollars out of building ships.

Let me tell you something that you might not be aware of. I have an uncle who was working on the worlds biggest tank boat back in the 80's. As he was working on a tanker, he was exposed to alot of chemicals through the years. That ended up by him getting sick because of it and he still have issues today because of it.

And this happened in Norway on a Norwegian company. It happens all the time. I'am saying it's ok that this is happening?

No, ofc not. But things like this is unavoidable to not get affected by this. That's life.

“The social mood is changing in Korea, and I think Samsung sensed that,” said Kim Sang-jo, an economist at Hansung University who specializes in the conglomerate. “The [rare diseases] had become a symbolic problem for Samsung. It was starting to be seen as a very arrogant and stubborn company.”

Concern about Samsung’s factory conditions first surfaced seven years ago, when two former employees who had worked side by side, Hwang Yu-mi and Lee Suk-yeong, died of leukemia within months of each other. Hwang was 23, and her father, a taxi driver, felt the deaths couldn’t be a coincidence.

In the years since, about 200 other people have claimed sicknesses from Samsung production lines, mostly from the Giheung plant 20 miles south of Seoul, which manufactures semiconductors and liquid crystal displays."
When you considers that Samsung have like 450.000 employees worldwide today, it's nothing new that cases like this can happen from time to time. There will always be incidents like those that will happen all the time, because things like this are unavoidable and it's something that will happen for a company with that many employees. Find me one company that haven't had a single reported incident through their lifetime.

You wont find any.

Ok, again, under your logic, these or people, making lcd displays are probably making them for Apple because Apple uses LCD... So they SHOULD BE SUING APPLE and not their employer Samsung,,, just like how Foxconn employee issues are APPles responsibility too!!! Wow Eh? Relative and perspective. Thank you.
Again, Apple is the biggest contractor to Foxconn, so because of that, they have more responsibility for the working conditions over what the other smaller contractor have. Ofc the smaller contractors will have some responsibility to, but Apple is the big fish in the room and have most of the responsibility. That's how it is.
