LCD vs super amoled(all)

Which one is better for reading ?
Sent from my GT-S5360 using Tapatalk

For reading highest resolution wins. With same resolution no general difference.
assuming non-pentile screen of course.

How can I search by resolution on gsm arena ?

Yeah I know that but what parameter should I set
Sent from my GT-S5360 using Tapatalk

Looking for a good resolution phone, right? Well... you can go to Display Resolution and set At least 480x800 (or 400x854) pixels. The results will be all the phones that have that resolution or above.

Get an qHD device. Very nice resolution for reading. I love my Atrix's screen.

Get ips or s-lcd 2 type display both are still tft lcd, but the best of
...
And on phones using those displays, the LG nitro HD and HTC one x, respectively, you get 1280x720 resolution
Wonderful wonderful displays. Though, if you can get the HTC one x, get it over the LG nitro HD.
Im still not sold on any form of amoled, their "infinate black," is not even (especially in a darker room), and those displays WILL burn in before you replace the phone on a two year contract.
Even worse, the higher resolution amoled displays (960x540, 1280x720), are both Pentile, meaning fewer subpixels and the display uses subpixel rendering to guess at the color, ultimately meaning less overall clarity that would otherwise be expaectable of a full RGB stripe of that clarity (though some people are not bothered by this)... also smaller low resolution displays of amoled form use pentile, for the same reasons the high resolution amoled panels do - the dot pitch is just too small for current amoled display tech to create an acceptably long lasting panel.
Just my take on this. I've had plenty of amoled displays in use (I never resell my amoled devices because they all have sole sort of burn in already ), and I simply do not like amoled for a serious daily driver anymore.

For me super amoled is a best with gorilla glass

I really like Super Amoled, actually more then an LCD screen.

Super amoled plus

LCD > OLED to me. Why? I like having the option of keeping a device's screen on for extended periods without worrying about possible burn-in. This'll be a necessary feature when (not if) I replace my desktop laptop with a desktop tab or phone.

I preffered Oled cause it has a great color.. but the negative thing is just the burn in..

Oh man brother! im trying to make that same descision !!! Im thinking .. hmm ceramic, quad core, +++... or huge ol' georgous phantasy beast of a phone
Im curious to hear what other brothers are sayin' as well

I wordering how long it would take for someone to make a post about the SGS3 and HTC One X. Lmao. I have read in a lot of other forums and most are not happy with SGS3. From what I read it doesn't seem like it has a lot going for it other than a quad core and I doubt that it will be utilized that much. The nifty upgrades to the SGS3 can probably be ported to a device with like hardware. In my opinion, its barely better than the Note. All in all I would still pick the SGS3 over the HTC One X. That's just me though.
Get a Galaxy Note. Tehehehe :thumbup:

If you buy the international One X you'll get Tegra 3 and options of 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB storage.
The ATT version runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 and has 16GB of storage with 12GB user accessible. The battery is not swappable and there is no microsd slot. Also, the bootloader is locked.
The ATT SGS3 variant is rumored to also run on the S4. If everything else remains the same, I think it's the better phone:
1) SuperAMOLED: at 1280x720 you will not notice its pentile.
2) Larger removable 2100mAh battery.
3) 16 GB internal storage with a microsd expansion slot.
Those 3 things are enough for me to decide on the SGS3.
I wrote off the One X when I first heard of the battery and microsd slot issue.

Screw those phones and get a Pantech Burst.

Well i have had 4 galaxy s2, I have had an htc one x and i have had a galaxy note.
The build quality on the Samsung`s is better than the htx one x, it`s screen is not attached to the body correctly it creaks and moves when pressed and the colours go crazy, I prefer the htc one x screen quality apart from the yellow spots, not a big fan of oled technology.
The Galaxy Note was my favorite, but i returned it as their is a problem with the video playback and other screen issues, a dame shame.

U r right its clearly an android killing machine
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA

I have no idea.... the sg3 is ugly, (btw it should be the skyrocket hd ahem, look at the pics of them both). Honestly im thinking about the gnex, off contract it is 400 bucks here in the U.S. Idk though, if i can not get the gnex then the att one x is next, even though it has the horrible rooting stuff to it, and flashing roms can at the moment only be done through the computer. Then third sg3. I think all the options suck in a big way, maybe ill just keep my infuse for now until the Note 2 comes out not much later, that will be the epic phone killer.

I personally think Samsung is making by far the best android phones out there right now
I would definitely pick S3 for sure

We all have such different opinions but I don't see why u guys say the S3 is ugly, looks nice to me honestly... I was pulling for the One-X until I saw the s3 and watched the videos.

I gave the one X a spin @ my local at&t store, it was phenomenal. The screen was gorgeous and the UI was so fluid.

Get One-X
I think Galaxy S3 is ugly as well and the pen-tile screen isn't appetizing. One X have this brilliant real hi-dpi screen that provides crisp image, not pen-tile. iPhone 4S is not Super Amoled as well but I would still prefer crisp screen.
And I don't see how quad-core and dual-core(assuming it's US version) would make a big difference they're both enough. I bet less than 1% of the time you would notice the significant difference. And quad-core probably drains more battery.
I love my infuse, too. As we have ICS I'm not thinking of changing it in a year.

If the one x can prove to me these two things: the build quality is better then the international one x and the bootloader gets fricken unlocked soon then i will get the one x. I would still use my infuse for the heavy tasks like listening to music, and being my "school" phone because i need the extra storage, not some cloud stuff i can access that eats my data plan tremendously.

Cant wait to see what it does. For me the bigger the screen the better. Cause i really dont mind having it in my laptop bag or in my hand all the time. Used to run a weird european rom that made me have the phone app on my galaxy tab 7". Now with the Note its the perfect size. But it could have the specs of the S3 i would enjoy the speed.

Phone size will be the same, screen size will be increased. It is obvious, hardware buttons will be gone, replaced with soft onscreen buttons. So more space for fullscreen videos, browser, etc... i hope the resolution is also increased and better screen manufacturing. Better camera with optic stabilization would be awesome! Probably DAC sound chip is replaced, from s3 or new, because current from s2 is piece of ****

Camera is meh but like I said you have a One X which has one of the best cameras on a smartphone in the market.

The Nexus will be better because you will get your updates much quicker and straight from Google! I'd go with that.

I am a GNex owner and I say that you made a great choise!!!
The speed and the screen are perfect!
I play with it and its Platform since the first day..
I just love it..!
GS2 it is good but it doesn't give you the same feeling as the GNex!

i sign that

I faced the exactly the same question when helping my wife to decide a smartphone. I did a little research on the internet, and here are the reason why I choose SII over Nexus.
1. Super AMOLED vs AMOLED HD
Yes, Nexus as better resolution and higher ppi, but the quality of display, the color saturation on the SII is better than the Nexus when comparing them side by side
2. Corning Gorilla Glass
This is only for the SII, Nexus doesn't have that.
3. CPU + GPU
Galaxy S2 CPU：1.2GHz dual-core ARM Cortex A9 CPU、Samsung Exynos 4210。
Galaxy Nexus CPU：1.2GHz dual-core ARM Cortex A9 CPU、TI OMAP 4460。
Same CPU, but the GPU for SII is slightly better suited for high end graphics
4. Camera
Galaxy S2：8MP rear camper with 1080p HD video、2MP front
Galaxy Nexus：5MP rear camera with 1080p HD video、1.3MP front
So in the end, I choose the SII instead of Galexy Nexus. But please keep in mind, that the difference are minor, so if you have already choose the Nexus, stay with it. Both are excellent benchmark android device. Excellent phones from Samsung.

you made the right choice...enjoy......

it's a good phone price quality wise but from a custom rom perspective we have to be honest, it's not the most active community. i honestly doubt that there will ever a full supported cyanogenmod. in the meantime you can delete all bloat and spyware manually if your device is moonshelled and rooted :angel:

The screen is absolutely ok (for me). But of course, when you see a phone with better resolution besides you see the difference. But this is a reason for the cheaper price.
Don't know, if you have a chance in your country to take a look at it before?
