S6 edge plus display inherently not as good as other "regular" AMOLEDs? - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just an observation coming from Note 3 , Note 4 and last phone LG V10 which was IPS display.
The current handset T Mobile Edge S6+ does not seem to be as sharp per se in image quality, meaning its not as crisp of an image ( notable when reading ) compared to what I was expecting. I'm guessing this is normal, anyone come from a Note 3 or 4 and care to chime in?

I came from note 3 and before that i had s4.
I feel s6 edge+ is better than them.

True, i think it was my eyes getting used to amoled again. One before was LG v10 IPS.
Only thing i don't like is the tiny system fonts example LTE icon and so forth.

Yes, its smaller than what I'm used to also notification are smaller. Increasing font size doesn't effect it.

Short answer - My best friend buy S7E and we compared this two devices. The conclusion is S6E+ is better in screen, camera, overall beauty.

Nexus 7 2nd generation FHD display

I got mine today from Amazon uk and I must say that I am a bit disappointed from the screen. I watched many reviews and all of them were talking for one of the best displays out there. Well they probably haven't seen Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 super amoled + magic. I will post a video later on with both devices playing a trailer from imdb.
Don't get wrong here. I love it but it just can't display black. Period.

I compared the display on mine with my wife's iPad4 with the retina display and I think its just as good if not better than that. Plus at this price point you cant go wrong.

I couldn't agree with you more. The Galaxy tab was retailing at 700 us while the nexus a fraction of that. However the amoled display on my "old" Sammy tab 7.7 is out of this world. The black and the color reproduction are just stunning. I was used to that display and the gnex looks to me a bit washed out. Other than that is is really great.

I suppose he is talking about the colours?
They are a little bit washed out and the white is a bit yellow when compared to my nexus 4 that has francos gamma settings applied.
However, when gamma controls are ported to the Nexus 7 the screen will look great with some tweaking. :thumbup:
Guys you do realise this screen is one of the few ones actually calibrated in the factory at two different stages and that the colours are accurate. What you see in the unfortunate Samsung models etc is a screen just with ridiculously saturated unrealistic colours. You guys need to train your eyes to see real quality...

400% saturation doesn't make a good screen

[Q] Keyboard size reset

I recently purchased the Note 4. The second day while posting a message, my keyboard display reduced greatly in size. How do I get it back to the "regular" size...the size that it is the width of the device?

Dull lockscreen wallpaper when using Fingerprint

So I noticed that when I set a photo to use as my lockscreen wallpaper that it looks super dull and washed out. I use the fingerprint lock, so I went into settings and set it to swipe. Well the picture looks perfectly vivid and bright on the lockscreen now. But when I switch back to fingerprint it gets dull.
Can anyone else replicate this bug? If so, what is the cause of this?!

Just tested it and I cant tell any difference. I'm not using a stock wallpaper on lockscreen tho...
Sorry

I'm not using stock either. You won't notice it with stock image, just custom. It's a slight dullness when using the fingerprint unlock.

Yep. It is like this on the s6 as well but not as noticeable bc of the smaller screen size. That's really annoying now bc i want more security my picture quality goes down the drain! Thanks for confirming.

I agree I just came from the iPhone 6s plus and the fingerprint scanner was beyond great.

My wife has the Note 5 and between the two, I still like mine better. Its just a better footprint overall.
I've got both. I don't see any difference in performance except when I compared them in Gear VR. The Note 5 was way much smoother for some reason (maybe something dragging down the S7E in the background..?) picture quality is slightly better on S7E but it feels like the Note 5 has slightly larger field of view.
Otherwise it's up to everyone personal preference design-wise.

edge features

Does the s8 have the edge features that the s7e had? They mentioned that the edge was less this year so what can it do? How do the notifications work? Can the edges pulsate and animate colors? Is that only when the phone is face down?
S8 will have Same features like s7e Just they made some modification and updated some apps thats it. both s7 and s8 have 7.0 nougat you also can install s8 apps when they are available to public
Night clock still there?

I've ordered a new note edge... Primarily because of that independent Edge screen. Makes life so much easier with a big phone.
Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk
Are there 3rd party apps that let you do more with the edge like illuminate them when face up
I saw a demo unit and the edge lighting settings implies it works face up
Is it possibile to launch Tasker tasks from the edge panel on S7/S8? I looked for info but couldn't find a clear answer.
@Chronocento
There is an app for shortcuts, apps, direct dial etc in Samsung App store for edge. I'm using it with a S6.

As above poster. Also you could export anything Tasker-made as an app and just use it in the apps edge panel.

Is the main screen still hidden when the edge is being used
