Calling it a Retina is like directly calling SJ and begging for a lawsuit
The pixel density is already really high on the Evo as it is. Sure, it could be pushed higher, but just like the iPhone4, outside of ~6" from your face, you won't be able to tell a difference.
Super AMOLED can't happen because Samsung has them only for their own private use for the next 18 months!. It's kinda ridiculous IMO, but whatevs. Plus they only make them in 4" ATM not 4.3"
AMOLED is also in short supply, plus, they're not made in 4.3" varieties either. At least not in the mass market. The cost for a 4.3" AMOLED would be ridiculously high anyway.
Sorry to burst your bubble
It'd be nice to have S-AMOLED but it just ain't happening...

Nothing wrong with it, but as far as taking my phone outside in the sunlight I will admit i have a hard time seeing it at times. My vision is 20//40 so i have good eye sight. So to sum it up, id like to have a screen i can see in the sunlight, and better looking in general not saying that the EVO's screen sucks or anything.
I was also just curious if any company was producing screens as the EVO is very easy to dismember.

dont AMOLED suck in direct sunlight or am i mistaken?
C'mon PixelQi.
They aready offer 10" screen for you to replace your netbook ones with.
Basically, it looks like an LCD with the backlight turned on and works normally as such. However, when you turn off the backlight, you get a color e-paper-esque display that has no refresh rate issues whatsoever. It really is sthe best of both worlds and anoth major LCD maker has jumped at the technology.
Honestly though, I think that it would be great to have Super-LCD tech from Sony. The visibility is better than the AMOLED and Super-AMOLED in sunlight, color and contrast are the same, and the battery drain is actually lower. Did I mention that the price was cheaper as well?
To be perfectly honest, I have a Novatech screen version and I am just fine with that. I would love a small PixelQi screen, but that hasn't happened yet...
Anyone know were to purchase a replacement screen? Mine is cracked and now insurance. Sorry if it has been asked before. Thanks in advance.

AMOLED is horrible in direct sunlight. I had a Moment before my Evo and I couldn't see it outside for nothing. The Evo is practically fully lit in comparison.
Final Update April 6th:
I am wrapping up my ongoing comparison of the two devices, and to ebay goes my Samsung Focus.
Here is the final posting:
HTC Arrive vs. Samsung Focus - WP7 Not Yet Ready For Landscape Keyboarding
My conclusion is that both devices are great. My biggest disappointment with the HTC Arrive is not hardware related, but just the pains associated with an early mobile OS. I hope Mango will add more landscape functionality, and that Facebook will update their app to support the form factor.
_______________________________________________________________
Update March 28th:
I compare gaming on the two devices. This is the second to last update in this installment. There is a video this time to boot!

Update March 26th:
I compare the cameras.
http://www.m-arcade.com/1/post/2011/03/hardware-htc-arrive-vs-samsung-focus-camera.html
I ultimately concluded that I prefer the Focus camera thus far, but the Arrive is a pretty close second. Everyone has different taste, so I have plenty of side by side shots for you to judge for yourself.
___________
Initial impression: Impressed. This is an extremely nice slider phone, and while it has a little more heft and bulk than I prefer in a phone, the keyboard is a pleasure to use, and the device screams quality.

I will be updating my blog with more comparisons throughout the weekend.
Focus screen looks wayyyy better imo.
I had the opportunity to play with an Arrive yesterday at a local Sprint store. I was unimpressed. Though it did seem to be of sufficient quality, the display is as small as the iPhone and the common LCD. If I were to accept a display that small it would need to be at least an IPS type or AMOLED. I would definitely go with the Focus. To me, there's no question or choice. The Focus is the better of the two.

Rumor is that the Arrive has a SLCD screen, but the Focus is better nonetheless. Plus thickness and weight are other advantages of the Focus. The hardware keyboard on the Arrive is really nice, but landscape support is hit-or-miss. Oh, and one final consideration: the Arrive has NoDo today, whereas the Focus may not receive it (officially) for months.

It does have an SLCD, and it looks great. The blacks are actually very good head on - not ever going to be on par with the Focus, but they are darn good. But I have noticed the screen does feel a little more cramped when playing games. I really feel 4" is a pretty ideal size, and believe it would have been nice to had that on the Arrive, but I don't think that is a deal breaker. The screen is nice, it just isn't a 4".
I would like to see more done with the keyboard. Like it would be nice if games allowed you to map buttons, that would be way slick.

Aside from geeks, who the hell cares about the NoDo update? I can't think of a single thing that NoDo changes that makes it a must-have update. Sure, it's all welcomed updates to be sure but definitely WP7 is already a great OS.
I think geeks are always looking for the "new drug" known as (higher) version numbers. It's the same in the Linux world, everyone wants the new 2.6.38 kernel but 2.6.35 runs much faster and stable.
Edit: This wasn't intended as an attack on you personally, but from everything I read on here it seems people are way too obsessed over the NoDo update.

you'll never win this argument. Apparently, if you don't want your text fuzzy and your colors to look cartoonish, then you don't know what you are talking about.
On a side note, I'm glad that at&t is getting the hd7s. If nothing else interests me after the merger with t-mobile, at least I'll have that to fall back on.

Yea, the super amoled display is the best on the market. I just hope a wp7 device gets the updated super amoled plus display this year.

Well to their defense, the general consumer doesn't mind/notice the fuzzy text, and love seeing the saturated colors. Everyone who has seen my Focus think its the best screen they've seen.
I personally think both have their advantages. But do keep in mind that soon AMOLED screens will no longer have the fuzzy text issue due to them moving away from the PenTile tech.
From my limited use thus far - Head on, I prefer the SLCD, but enjoy the broader sweet spot offered by the SAMOLED.

The Epic isnt even close to a brick. That thing is like toilet paper. Its keyboard is ass though >.<
Edit: Oh, by brick you meant the 4.0in screen! I thought you meant like the weight...I had to read the post below mine to figure that out haha
for the record and with using devices like the Pre Plus, EVO, EVO shift and iphone the Arrive is the best phone Ive used in a minute. The screen issue is a very small one, and most people dont care about that as much as everyone seems to keep complaining about. Samsung phones to me are cheap looking, and yes the screens are nice thats about it to me. Its about quality and the Arrive screams it. The screen size at 3.6 (ala iphone) is the biggest a mobile device is supposed to be. Get it mobile, I dont know where all this needing a brick in your pocket as being the thing to get nowadays, but if I need more realestate then what I have on my MOBILE! phone then ill get on a laptop, desktop, or tablet. My thoughts on the device is its the best WP7 on the market, perfect size, quality, the option of a full hard keyboard, and very fast.
I completely disagree in terms of the 'quality' you spoke of. Don't get me wrong the phones not god awful but the quality really is subpar. When you hold it you feel like you're holding a last-gen device because of the bulk and thickness and the spring mechanism in the phone always feels ready to snap. HTC doesn't have any high quality WP7 devices just yet. I hope the HD7s fixes that.

Have you held an Arrive? I swear you must be handling a different phone. Because, when I saw pictures, I questioned it, but upon feeling and using it, I can only say it is top notch.
Yeah, I would have preferred a 4" screen. But as for keyboard phones go, it is the same thickness as every other one on market. It is pretty heavy though, which I can only attribute to the use of quality materials over the super light plasticy materials of my focus.
I admit that a keyboard phone is not my first choice of form factor, and if I could get a Focus with the case materials of my Arrive, I would - but that is not happening. As far as screen type (size aside) this is one of the best LCD screens on the market. So you can't fault it for that. You can prefer AMOLED tech, I understand that, but for LCD, the Arrive has a very nice display.
to each its own you know, but I will say this I test phones through my employment and in terms on the measure of quality this is by far the best landscape slider in the buisness currently. The bulk and weight is obvious, but compared to a phone quality it matches like the Iphone 4 it is only 4.2mm thicker then it. They also use the same metal componets from Foxconn, and the glass screen is as well identical. The spring mechinism has been tested by us as well to withstand a substantial amount of pressure without breaking, so no it hardly feels like it will break. Again understand all are personal opinions, but facts are facts.

I own every U.S. released WP7 devices. The heft can't always be attributed to quality. I assure you the Focus' cheap plastic comes with a purpose, go drop both of them from about a 5 foot height (where most people hold their phones) and see which one comes out in better condition. The hardware for the Arrive truly is last gen even compared to all of the other WP7 devices on the market (surround aside), the keyboard was about the only redeeming feature on the device but the response from the keys felt cheap and when typing really fast it tended to randomly skip 3 or 4 letters in a row. They've come out with keyboard devices with form factor like the G2, why work backwards and re-release a device that was already outdated upon it's initial release? (TP2)
yeah ive come to the conclusion you just dont like the Arrive which is fine, but your statemnts are very biased, and not factual at all. So there really isnt much else to discuss with you in paticular. For everyone else I highly recommend this device if your on sprint, over all of these android devices out now, and coming like the Nexus S, and EVO 3d thanks.
thank god
i did not wait until arrive.

Well they did put LCD as oppose to the AMOLED listing for the 6P. Aren't all LCD screens on phones pretty much IPS now? I could be wrong.

I certainly hope it is as good as the nexus 5 from 2013. If it isn't I think I will return it. It is a "midrange" device but it is still expensive and they cut a lot of other corners on this phone. The display better be good.
The display looks good, but could have been better on Nexus 5x. They also have compromised on other things and display is one of that.

I think the reason why it's expensive is Android Hub, camera, and fingerprint sensor. I read the display isn't spectacular. I have a feeling it'll be the same like the Nexus 5. Also, Google didn't take the time to calibrate it
I'm not worried about the LG LCD, they make great displays. Also I much prefer a LCD to amoled

Yeah I don't know exactly what it is about amoled, even on the best displays like the GS6. There definitely is image retention with all amoleds, some worse than others and dependent on use. They also tend to look "dirty" at lower light levels. LCDs look cleaner to my aging eyes.
This will be my first non-Samsung screen I'll be looking at in years. Galaxy S5 and S III were my last phones. Might be a welcomed change.
Sent from my Sprint Galaxy S5.
The Nexus 5 panel used was well calibrated and one of the more accurate mobile displays. I'm hoping LG and Google keep the same attention to detail with the 5x LCD calibration, so far hands on have said they were impressed with the screen quality and brightness.
I sent back my Nexus 5 three days after owning for bad light bleed at top edge. I can't stand light bleed, and that is my biggest quip with LCD's. That said my G2 LCD is awesome, with no such problems. From the quick hands-on vid's I've seen, haven't seen any bad light bleed yet.

Fantastic but the brushed steel body seems to be outdated.
I have high hopes for this phone. I only had one HTC and it was very brief, the M9, which I had to return because of extreme heat issues. I liked the build of the phone, though.
With most phones going AMOLED, which I loathe, my only choice seemed to be the LG G5 but after the G4 bootloop debacle, I didn't want to further support them. Plus the G5 seems to gimmicky with the modules, of which I'll never use.
So, HTC, please don't let me down.
Rumors are The inclusion of 4GB RAM along with internal storage options: 32, 64 and 128GB have also been claimed multiple sources. The device might come with 5-inch 4K or 2K resolution display. Well, we should keep in mind that it's not necessary for the device to come with these above mentioned aspects because HTC is yet to give confirmation to its forthcoming heir.

I believe a SuperLCD screen is soft-confirmed, so you may pretty happy to hear this. As far as storage, I've heard a lot about 32 and 64, but only a whisper about 128 right at the beginning.
More exciting is yesterday's #powerof10 tweet, which reads "Here comes the new boom. You’ll hear it. #powerof10 pic.twitter.com/Ln3XxWZ9BO
— HTC (@htc) March 23, 2016"
One can hope
Yeah, I was originally reading about the screen being Super LCD 5 but am now reading Super AMOLED at a few places after a "spec leak".
That will officially count me out on the HTC 10.

Even though I'm 99% sure it is going to be an LCD, the latest Amoled panels are decent. Definitely shouldn't be a deciding factor when choosing a device.
Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk
I don't know if decent is good enough for me. My last AMOLED phone (Nexus 6) really let me down, developing burn in after about three days, even if it was slight. I'm a heavy user and my eyesight is fairly sharp. Combine that with some slight OCD issues, any blemish draws my attention constantly, slowly driving me insane. Tis a sad life.

Sounds like a defective screen to me-- I have 20:15, and am anal about the quality of my screens. I am not a huge fan of AMOLED in its current state, but I've not had an experience with them developing burn in with even heavy use, so long as said use is "normal." You can burn almost anything in with enough time + static image.
From the pictures which flows. HTC 10 looks beautiful,Snapdragon 820 is also the best in Android.

24 hrs in:
I bought the S7 11 inch wi-fi model. The LCD screen on this thing is a real let down.
I got spoiled by my S6's screen. Even my Tab S2's looks better than this.
I'm gonna give it a couple of days to see if it grows on me but at this point it doesn't look good for keeping it.
Anticipation was very high waiting for the S7 and like I said I'm VERY disappointed.
The only reason i went with the plus model was the screen size and amoled display. Coming from an ipad pro 12.9 was a huge upgrade.
I'd say return it and get the plus model it's not that bigger than the S7 and is totally worth it.
Wow, I got the S7 5G and I love the screen. Yeah its not note9 quality but I find it good in its own right.
I've just bought the S7 wi-fi model. I didnt even know it was LCD, before I buy it. I didn't make the research this time. I thought Samsung always sells amoled, loI. Pro model was a little expensi ve so I get this one. I feel kind of sad but is it really that bad?

I find it looks great. 120Hz makes is smooth. Movies and games all look great to me. Granted I am an artist (color blind too) so notice little details. I can say I am not a screen snob and this LCD easily looks great even with very minor short comings. I have the note 9 and I now use the tab more cause its larger.

I have oneplus 6T and this is actually my first tablet. I dont think this device is bad but I was expecting another panel than an super amoled from a high end samsung device. I guess they had to cut the costs off from somewhere. I could've get the new Ipad Air with the same price, this one has the pen included though. Every product has it's adv. and disadvantages.
Edit: I would prefer a 90hz amoled though.
I picked up the s7 and I think it looks great maybe its just me ?*, I have a note 10 and I think the S7 looks better. Must be my eyes lol

Makes sense bummer that they downgraded the screen, my current tablet that I hardly use is the Samsung tab pro 8.4 inch so to me it looks great lol. I'm debating on exchanging but not sure the screen alone is worth the $200 price difference
LCD's SUCK compared to AMOLED. For the price, this thing should have an OLED.

It really should. S7 is pricey. I have to admit no amoled on S7 got me to pay more for S7+. I only did it because I was able to stack about 5 different discounts and cashback offers.
I would have preferred an Amoled display but this screen is in no way a bad screen. That's definitely a first word problem. :silly:

I have an S7 and I absolutely love the screen. I'm not an artist though and don't use the tablet for that kind of work. For my proposes - reading, movies, browsing internet, note taking - I don't see the point in AMOLED; especially with the number of defective screens Samsung has, which by the way they consider a "feature"", not a defect. Sure OLED screens are great, but Samsung's screens? Thanks, but no thanks. Besides, the battery life on S7 is better than on the plus model (could be because of the screen as well)

Um You do know amoled is definitely better then LCD right? you do know for the price it should have been Amoled not LCD. As a owner of a S6 now way is the S7 screen comparable to the S6. Also by the way you do know that the great apple screens are supplied by Samsung? By the way I use my tablet for the same reasons you use yours.

I do know that. And for my purposes I couldn't care less if I have an LCD on a tablet or an OLED.
As I mentioned, I'm not using it for graphics/drawing, the picture is good enough for Netflix/YouTube on a screen of this size (it's not a TV, c'mon), and LCD is much better on the eyes for prolonged reading. But it's my use case/requirements and it might be different from yours or someone else's.
I agree about the price, it should have been lower for a device with an LCD screen. Unfortunately currently there are no (Android) alternatives to this device.
I know that Samsung supplies the screens to Apple. I also read from people who own both that they couldn't find a difference between iPad pro and S7 screens. So I'm not sure why you mentioned that. Anyways, I don't consider Apple products however good/bad their components are, I just done like their products and policies. I also don't like Samsung, but as I said - there are no alternatives on Android right now. Hopefully Huawei/Xiaomi or someone else will step up soon.
All in all, I'm not saying the screen is the best I've ever seen, and it's definitely not better than OLED screens. And I agree that if they put a cheaper screen - they should've lowered the price. But I don't agree about the screen itself being a huge "letdown" or a "disappointment", at least not for me.
Agreed. The screen is still great. Blacks are still deep, off angle viewing is still great. Yes it might use a little more battery and is probably not as good as an oled panel but its by no means bad. I for one am not interested in paying an extra $270 for the 7+ that tablet was expensive enough
