I had a HTC Desire and bought a Galaxy S. I didn't notice a big different between the screen on those 2. Now I bought the Desire HD, and I'm VERY disappointed with the screen on this! Yesterday I ordered a Galaxy Tab, but I cancelled it now, as I'm VERY afraid that this screen is not as good as the one on the Galaxy S. Having used an AMOLED, I think everything else is a step-down...
Anybody used a Galaxy S for some time that uses the Pad? How is the screen quality? What about Androids coming soon with at least 4" Amoled?
Samsung manufacture something like 90%+ of all the AMOLED panels in the world and they've only just announced the first 7" on for use in mobile devices, so it'll be a while before we see anything Tab-sized with an AMOLED or sAMOLED display (current rumours say June 2011).
The screen on the tab is excellent. I doubt any of the alternatives currently running android have better screens, so its a pity you cancelled your order.
I have an HTC Desire and bought a Galaxy Tab over the weekend. The screen on the Tab is really good - it's very, very bright and very clear. Only difference is the blacks aren't quite as 'black' as the HTC.
Re-order, you won't regret it.

Ditto!
The screen on the Tab is very good, even when compared to the AMOLED Desire.

Is very very good

Two thumbs up. Don't know what the fuss is all about on AMOLED. The Tab is real beautiful.

I find the Tab's display more than adequate. The colors are vibrant (saturation can be adjusted) and the white/black levels can be configured too.
The IPS technology used in the latest Apple products offer better viewing angles (in terms of maintaining color and contrast), whereas the Tab's display tends to wash-out some details. That being said, it is still amongst the better displays, nothing deal-breaking. There's also a slight issue with regards to refresh rates, which creates a tiny bit of ghosting, particularly visible with text rendering. Once again, it's a really minor issue, just being picky here.
Overall, I absolutely love reading and playing on the device, the screen is simply beautiful. I haven't tried outdoors yet, but I guess it's like every single multitouch-display out there: it sucks !
I also have a Vibrant but so far the Tab's screen has very good so far. I've only had it for less than a day but I can say it's at least not strikingly apparent.
I have both Galaxy S and Tab.
Side by side, S has better screen. Black is really black because of the amoled technic and the overall contrast is better.
But Tab has also very good screen, it is excellent. If there wasn't the S to compare, I couldn't imagine any better.
Interested to know peoples impression of the galaxy note based on what they have had in the past...or upgraded from. I'm currently awaiting my GN to arrive and I'm giving my SGS II up for it so I'm hoping its a worthy trade up.
I love the SGS II design and feel. I upgraded from the SGS 1 and was the best thing I've done.
if u love big screen or bigger than s2 then u gonna love the note but if u think s2 is big enough then stick with s2. i come from 3.5" screen. now never look back smaller size than the note. i used old one a bit today and felt like a toy.
Anyone changing from an iPhone 4 and how they compare the screen clarity/pixel density of the Note to the retina display of the iPhone?
I've got a 3.5" galaxy ace. I got a chance to try out the note, and I'm absolutely in love with it. The tiny screen is a pain to use right now, can't wait to get my note.
Contemplating with a 3g version, this issue bugs me, is this true?

My brother owns an S3 and I own a note 2. When we put it side by side, his S3 does indeed look sharper than my Note 2. A tech savvy friend of mine told me that it was because the S3 has a smaller screen with the same number of pixels as the Note 2. Therefore, the S3 is sharper in that sense as there are more pixels per inch of the phone.
The Note 2 on the other hand is supposed to use an rgb matrix pattern as opposed to the S3 which uses a pentile display. RGB is supposed to be superior to the pentile method for color reproduction and sharpness so in that sense the Note 2 actually makes up for a bit of lost ground when compared to the S3 having more pixels per inch of the screen.
There's a detailed comparison here..
Anyway, thats about as far as I could understand from my friend but from my own personal experience, yes you will notice the S3 to be sharper somewhat when compared to the Note 2 but the difference isn't very glaring either unless you put them side by side and start nit picking on each part of the screen.

I have both devices and it's fair to say this is a spot on explanation, the Note 2 feels softer one tip is try reducing your ro.sf.lcd_density to 300 on the note 2 makes everything a bit smaller and a bit sharper IMO.
SIII does definitely look sharper because of the above said reason.
I like the note 2 screen better becaus it's not pentile and to me looks sharper then the s3 screen.

The size and the screen issue are actually stopping me from upgrading... Tempting though.

+1. To my eyes, the S3 screen doesn't look near as good as the Note 2's. I think the Note 2 has the best mobile display at this time. The only thing that could make it better is if it was 1080p with the RGB arrangement. Hopefully we get the bump in res on the Note 3.

In a word, no.
That's so weird, my s3 screen doesn't look nearly as good as my note does.

Yea seriously are people getting different panels for their S3's than my previous one?
I had an international GT-I9300 S3, and before that I had the international GT-N7000 Note 1.
Out of the 3, the Note 2 is by far the best display, followed by the Note 1 and last would be my S3.
When I switched from the Note 1 to the S3, I immediately was a little disappointed, the S3's screen just wasn't as sharp as the Note 1 and the Note 2's display is far superior the the Note 1.
Tech OCD rears it's ugly head yet again.
The screen on the Note II is stunning. End of thread.
Note screen it's nicer, I've had both and it finely is sharper for text and the colours seem nicer

All made by Samsung
S3 or Note 2 , their screens are all made by samsung, just RGB is different from pentile
But in my opinion these two screens look almost the same
Today I saw both s4 and note 3 in showroom side by side and s4 felt quite dull well nite 3 was much brighter abd sharper but afaik s4 has 441 ppi and note 3 has 386ppi tgen why N3 is better than S4 in viewing
For this thing I think I shld change my S4 to N3 coz it has better screen and bigger screen
Anybody reviews
I think you over exaggerating.
I played with a note 3 and in other hand my s4(indoor) and what do you mean sharper? In what way ? You can't see pixels on either of them.
Maybe is a very very little bit brighter but that's it.
Calling s4's screen dull is too much... I mean for f*sake even GS1 and GS2 screens are amazing compared to many devices out there today
Did they both have the same screen settings and brightness?

Yup
I don't think that's the case. If display is sharper on one device then it's on S4. S4 have 441 ppi density but Note 3 have 386 ppi density so S4 screen have more clearer then Note 3. Although it's hardly noticeable.
I think it's more of display settings then display itself.
Auto adjust screen tone reduces the brightness of whites dramatically even on full brightness.

One question I've got for you S8+ owners, what phone did you guys switch from and a brief explanation as to why?
I switched from an S7 edge, because I've been a Samsung fanboy since the GS2 and I've owned every single Samsung flagship since that time, so I didn't want to end the streak. I also picked one up because the midnight black one is probably the best looking phone I've ever seen and because the phone is still rare where I live, it 'stands' out a lot.
I came from a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ 64 GB model. It is still a great phone today and it's also fast and nice. But the things that made me to go for the Galaxy S8+ is.....
1. Bigger screen. 6.2 inch vs 5.7 inch.
2. Better camera in low light environments and in focusing on objects.
3. Better stabilization under video recording. Now you can use both OIS and EIS at the same time on all resolutions. I could only use OIS and EIS at the same time with [email protected] fps on the Galaxy S6 edge+.
4. MicroSD card support. Yes, my Galaxy S6 edge+ was missing that.
5. Better sound quality via the 3.5mm headphone jack. Yes, i do love to listen to musics.
6. Snappier / faster phone in general use.
7. IP68 water and dust resistant.
8. A design that looks futuristic. Yes i kinda needed something that had a new and fresh look.
So there you have my reasons on why i changed from the Galaxy S6 edge+ that i had for one and a half year .
EDIT: I just sold my Galaxy S6 edge+ phone today. Good night sweet prince, you served me well those one and a half year.

Screen marked too easily on the Porsche Design so needed Gorilla Glass 5 which is much more resistant to scratches - I know this as I didn't put a screen protector on the Note 7 and really didn't look after it (knowing it was being returned).
OnePlus3 for me, and quite frankly the S8 makes it feel like a cheap toy
Nexus 6. Had my fill of keeping up with rooting and ROMs.

Galaxy S4. Got it when it came out and it was a beast, thanks to XDA and all the wonderful people here it has been going strong since then but it's been showing it's age for the past year or so.
My requirements were simple. Good support from the manufaturer and community (XDA), removeable battery and/or SD card, not an LG, and just something that really stood out over my S4. Was dissapointed with the s6 an no SD card, was tempted for the s7 but timeing never added up then when i had the money and started looking the s8 was around the corner. As soon as i picked up and tried the demo i knew i wanted it.
Few online searches and $1200 later i have a g955F. I love it.
Pixel XL. Gave it to my dad when I got the s8+

Nexus6p and keeping it for a while....
LG V10 since Dec 2015. I had to warranty three of them thanks to the bootloop issues and I'm suppose to be picking up my S8+ from my local store today.
Galaxy Note 7.
I came from the Moto Nexus 6, which I completely loved. The processor is getting a little long in the tooth as is the battery. While I wasn't as harsh on it as the critics were, the camera doesn't hold up in comparison to today's phones. A phone finally came along where I did not have to compromise on screen size (I like the big screens). S8+ is it. While I'm not a fan of Samsung's heavy handed user experience, those things are pretty easily remedied with a new launcher and the removal of some bloat.
Iphone 7plus & mate 9 pro.
Got tired of not being able to customize the iPhone and updates are horrible on the mate 9 pro ( International version)

Gorilla Glass 5 sucks.

Note 7. I dropped it and cracked the screen after the S8+ came out. The battery life in the S8+ is awesome!!!! I got say, I don't miss the Note 7 especially with the Note app carrying over to the S8. Thank goodness for the smart switch feature!
I will still buy the Note 8 in the fall.

I had the Note 7 but had to return it, and went back to using my Note 5. I was going to wait for the Note 8 but my Note 5's battery is starting to show it's age and I decided to get the S8 since it feels so good in the hand. Then I decided to try the S8+. Not sure which I like better. The S8 sure does feel nice in the hand, but of course the bigger display on the S8+ is very nice.
I also have a Pixel, which is an OK device. I wanted a Pixel XL but the 128GB were always backordered and by the time I could get one, the S8/S8+ was almost released so I passed and went for the S8.
As for the reasons I picked the Galaxy devices over the Pixels - the display is the main reason for me. The Pixel camera is good but they don't have wireless charging, which I really like, and the bezels on the Pixel are huge.
When the Note 8 and the Pixel XL2 are released, I will decide between those 2 and sell the S8+ in all likelihood. I will probably keep the S8 since it is such a nice size for when I don't want a huge device.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 SM-T705 LTE Model. i find the Galaxy S8+ To small..
