It's probably still more visible than the pixels on the iPhone. Even if its not, it will still have the many other disadvantages of pentile. Super AMOLED Plus at 300ppi would look way better than pentile at 441ppi.
They are both toys, with the difference one being plastic toy
You do remember the iPhone 3G and 3GS were made of plastic don't you? Plastic that cracked around the sim card holder and charging port?
I'm glad we don't have that problem in Sweden. Is that a US only thing or is it common in other countries also?
Then go to the damn butter pecan forums, fanboy! This is a vanilla forum for vanilla lovers! We don't want your kind here!
I'm sorry, if it's not napolean, You're all delusional
I want choice! I can pick which flavour I want when I want it!
Put down the magnifying glass.
At normal viewing distances, I would disagree.
Color quality may be a different story, but that's not what we're talking about.
I'm no fan of PenTile displays, but there is a point at which the pixels are simply too small to make any noticeable difference.
The other benefit of PenTile in SAMOLED displays is they tend to last longer than RGB SAMOLED displays.
Sounds like the iPhone 5 launch
And yet watch how Samsung gets no heat for it.
There's always someone "old school" who has to types about things and how they were always better before with their talk of napoleans and spumoni.
Spumoni?
ewww, who wants chunks of stuff in their ice cream! Chunks, Nuts and other such additional features that add to the texture are disgusting!
There's that word again that nobody seems to understand. Innovation for the sake of change is pointless. Innovation must have a useful motivation that promotes a change that benefits the user. Samsung just throws whatever they can think of at the wall to see what sticks. Apple weighs the costs and benefits and makes decisions based on providing a good experience. Samsung leapfrogged nobody here.
Mods, noticed how I didn't personally insult this troll.
I agree - Aside from a few relatively minor things, such as wireless charging & NFC built in, and solar charging built into the screen, there's nowhere to go at the moment. The next big thing will probably be the battery being replaced with some other type of energy source, but we won't see anything like that being practically applied to phones for a LOONG time.

It's not too difficult to make the screen bigger, which seems to be all that everyone wants...
SAMOLED looks like hell. I can definitely see the matrix, but I have exceptional vision.
Out of curiosity, can you add your own songs? 20,000 songs free sounds cool but it doesn't do anything if it's not songs I want to listen to
Not all SAMOLED displays are made the same way.
On an 800x640 display (typical pre-HD display) at 260ppi... yep, PenTile looks like crap.
But we're talking about PenTile displays at 441ppi.
Unless you're rocking 20/5 vision, you are not goign to see the matrix at normal distances.
I guess I haven't been paying enough attention. How do you transfer music and videos to the phone without itunes? If this is truly the case I will be considering an iphone next time i am due for a new phone.
Agree. I mean they took everything good about the s3 and made it better( higher res screen, processor, camera, battery) all while keeping it in a size no larger than the s3 while also making it thinner. I mean if samsung would have had a new design with same specs bet everyone would be clamoring all over it. People just like to complain.
I'm also a pretty new iPhone user who thought I had to use iTunes to get my own old music and photos to my iPhone. So you get your local mp3-files or local photo albums from your computer over to your iPhone that way, without using iTunes? The only wifi sync I've found is syncing to iTunes.
The problem is then if I want music or photos from another computer, or want to remove music or photos synced from the first computer when it's not around, directly from the phone. The only way I thought you had then was to sync your phone with this second computer, which would make all the old photos and music you got from the first computer disappear.

Yes

Since when did Apple worry about giving people what they want ... that's the problem with Apple, the problem that's destroying their market share and alienating their customer base customer by customer!
