Htc Desire Amoled or SLCD?

Htc Desire Amoled or SLCD?
what is differt, and what is best?
why they deliver 2 different :s

Samoled is better made by Samsung
Slcd worse made by sharp I think.
Get the samoled as you can buy this part off ebay if you break it.

S-Amoled is not Amoled and its definitely no better than SLCD. Not even better than LCD. Well... it definitely sucks! Distorted colors and low readability when directly exposed to sunlight. Just my impressions of the Samsung Galaxy S.
Dunno about amoled screens, I've rarely seen one of them, but here is a comparison between the two versions of Desire: http://www.gsmarena.com/amoled_vs_slcd_htc_desire_screens_fight_it_out-news-1932.php
Seems that Amoled beats SLCD at power saving and brightness... I'd wish to check myself anyway.
I got a desire HD which is equipped with a SLCD screen and it's just superb for me!
In the end I'd suggest to get the one who looks better at your eyes.

I too have a Desire HD and I must say I am very happy with the screen quality. I checked out the Galaxy S before buying and the screen definitely produces much deeper blacks but colors seemed off, like there was too much saturation.
Desire HD looks more natural which is how I like it, you should check out both screens and compare.

Can this please be merged into one of those other threads where people care to talk about devices other than the HTC Sensation and comparisons and such.

Nice resolution and pretty crisp, but the colours and blacks seem washy when put side by side with my Galaxy S2.

This is about the sensation and the screen quality

I got these in stock today and after playing around with it I was impressed by the sharpness of the screen - when you zoom into the text it is very similar to the iPhone 4. The SLCD is definitely better than a traditional LCD screen.
I still prefer the bigger screen on the Galaxy S II and the screen just looks so much nicer. The Super Amoled Plus technology is far superior to the SLCD in my opinion.

Doesnt the sensation have the bigger screen?

I think SLCD is better because it can work well at night

So he have a GSII and a Sensation to compare and just because he prefer the Suped amoled Plus screen on the GSII he's a fanboy ? Does he really have to love a screen that he find weaker to not being considered as a fanboy ? I mean seriously just think a few more seconds before flamming anyone without any valable reason

I think it wasn't about him preferring a screen over the other but about calling it BIGGER when they are both 4.3"
Yes, they have a different area due to aspect ratios but lets face it, the difference is almost negligible and many people don't even understand the difference, they just understand 4.3

The fact is that though the sensation should have a larger display due to 16:9 ratio. Vertically and landscape.

Yes and no. Larger area=definitely
Wider=yes
Longer=no
Remember, the more square a quadrilateral the greater the area for the same diagonal. But some people don't see that.
And as I said, some people don't look past the 4.3" or only focus on one of the dimensions. I didn't say he was right in his comment, just that I didn't think he was bashing on Stesa for liking the Samsung screen more, but rather because his statement of a larger screen APPEARS to be frivolous if you only consider the 4.3 (though Stesa is perfectly correct in saying it is bigger).

Its a personal preference, I have Nexus One and love the Amoled Screen, I have seen SAMOLED and SAMOLED + u wont see a lot of difference except brightness when going from Nexus One. Also OLED isnt really a mature tech yet, It needs a lot of generations to reach a perfectly good place. Has many issues right now though it looks beautiful

Sensation vs G2X Screen contrast?

hello, I switched from a G2X to a sensation. My sensation is made in China, AUO screen, dated 6/7. Now I see people saying Sharp screens have better contrast, better black. In comparison, my G2x definitely has better screen contrast and darker blue. in terms of Whites, whites are as white as the G2x in the sensation.
I want to ask you guys, what is your sensation's color contrast like comparing to a G2X? please also state your Screen (AUO or sharp)

I have a sharp screen, it's considerably better than my g2x

How do you tell what screen you have?

I have a Sharp screen and a G2X. The blacks are blacker on my G2X but I could give two ****s which display on my mobile device has better contrast. Now if you asked me if I cared about contrast on my 4 LED Samsungs than yes, I do care about contrast and dark blacks on my HD TV'S. I am failing to understand why people care so much about contrast on mobile devices. People should be caring more about text clarity and brightness in direct sunlight. In both of those categories, my Sensation blows the daylight out of my G2X. When reading or looking at icons on my G2X after looking at my Sensation for a while, the display on it looks fuzzy. Seriously, the Sensations display pros far outweigh the G2X pros.

Once again, ill have to disagree, simply because the g2x's maximum brightness is much better than the sensation. I put both devices at 40%, and the g2x blew it out the water...

It depends on what panel you have. Why would you only put them to 40% when using it in direct sunlight? I have held them next to each other in direct sunlight, both at 100% and the Sensation is much more clearer. I can take a picture or make a video if you don't want to believe me. Even in a picture, the difference is noticeable.

I have an AUO screen and it's fine. The blacks can be just a bit dull but I mean, the viewing angles really are amazing. If I look on from literally 179° I barely notice any color change.

well more contrast is more pleasant to the eyes. to each his own though, I would prefer the bigger screen of the sensation over G2x.

Interesting post.
I was doubting between getting a Sensation or a G2x, and finally bought a Sensation because of Sense and built quality. Well, I compared my old's HTC legend Amoled screen with Sensation's, and with the device in front of me, both are similar, but when the phones are for example in the car near to the radio (using them as GPS) and I have to look from a distance, legends screen is much better. Of course, I prefer Sensation's because of the size and the resolution, but legend's is easier to look from the distance (more color, light and angle vision)
I suposse G2x's is much better than legend's.
Just an opinion.

How does display compare to Amaze

I have a chance to ge tthis phone but I am worried about the display. The display on the Amaze 4G is clear and crisp but I read the opposite about the One S. Can someone that used both phones tell me how they compare.

I currently own the one s and I've had the amaze ill tell you this, the amazes display as far as pixels go is really good but as for saturation etc everything looks washed out especially in sunlight. The one s has the amoled which has richer colors. Doesn't have as much pixels as the amaze but it doesn't bother me.

The Amaze screen didn't look washed out to me. So quality wise what do you think? Does the less pixels make a noticeable difference? I always found amoled to have some over saturated colors. Is it the same on this phone?

I used an Amaze for a little while and I think I prefer the screen on the One S. The Amaze does look washed out to me compared to the Super AMOLED screen on the One S. Colors just look brighter on the One S, and black is pure black on the One S. Text looks a little better on the Amaze due to the pentile screen on the One S, but otherwise I prefer the One S screen. They are both qHD screens by the way. Same number of pixels. It's the sub-pixel arrangement that is different.

I just sold my Amaze, the screen on the one s is amazing for being amoled. its the first one that ive seen with true whites

I agree. I had a Galaxy Nexus and the whites on it were an off white and kind of grainy like paper. The One S does not have this problem.

Yup that's why I love amoled

I like the screen a lot, I can see the pentile matrix if I try, but it doesn't bother me at all. Still, white isn't really white. If I look at it from the front it has some redish color thingy it seems. If I look at it from the side it looks more like clear white. It doesn't bother me at all, though

Please explain how the One S does not have as much pixels as the Amaze considering both have a qHD screen. I suspect you meant to say that the One S has a pentile screen. Taking the time to double-check your "facts" is the best way to answer a question.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium

Ok thanks. I decided against the One S due to the non-replaceable battery and no SD card slot.

I have the One S, my wife has the Amaze. Though I love her phone (compared to her previous MyTouch 4G), the screen on the One S (IMHO) blows the Amaze away. The colors are incredibly vibrant on the One S. I came from the Galaxy S (which I feel also has a rich, deep screen) and the One S trumps it with ease.
That being said... Take my opine with a grain of salt. I thought the screen on the Galaxy S was better than the Amaze...

Honest Question HTC 11 worth it?

Hello folks just want your honest opinion assuming some of you had in the past HTC 10
As a big HTC fan i still run my 10 and i love it.
but if i upgrade a litle will probably have Android PIE with Sense officialy and well better working Gcam port.
I have an offer to get a HTC U11 128 6ram version for abouth 240 USD in mint condition my question is do the HTC U11 worth the upgrade from 10 im asking ex 10 Owners. do you miss something from the 10 when you turn back.
Thanks in advance

yes ofc!
better camera in all contitions, much better battery life sound is better too.Bigger and sharper screen. waterproof. and the colored are awesome ihad the red and now the amazing silver...
The price is very good for 6/128 so go for it..

ive had both phones, yes the upgrade is worth it

I had all HTC flagships since P3600 trinity
U11 was - sadly my last one. I am NOT going back any time soon.

My last phone was the htc10 and yes, the upgrade is awesome.
Better display (more nits and excellent contrast), design (I really love the sapphire blue, is awesome), camera (better in all conditions), ip68 certification and the usonic is just impressive the work htc made.
Just one thing, you will loose maximum volume with headphones when using the usbc-jack adapter, but with the usonic headphones it does not happen.

& why's that may I ask ???
I have a HTC 10 and I can upgrade in another two months max. My wife has a Note 9 and my son has a S8+ and I honestly don't wanna get a Samsung. I consider myself an audiofile and HTC has delivered on that front :good:

If you have the htc 10 then the htc u11 is a good deal to upgrade.
I had few issues with htc 10 specially the display under direct sun light with polarized sun glasses
htc u11 worth it ...... yes
Believe me it is a good deal specially the camera & speakers
I shift to the htc U11 from Galaxy A8 (2018) & I'm happy with the U11 .....I have used Galaxy S7 edge & iPhone 8 plus previously and I found that the U11 is such a good choice.

I had htc 10 (i also had m7 and m9) and now have 11. Way better phone. Bigger screen, better camera, better battery life, not overheating like 10 and more.
Just do it. My main reason for switch was battery. It just sucked on 10. Also camera on 11 is the first proper camera. All my other HTCs have had some kind of problems with it.
