Bikrame is ABSOLUTELY right bro, also take it from me, I used to be a DIE HARD HTC fan, however, after countless years and devices later I just got sick and tired of waiting for them (HTC) to get their **** together. One can only take so much disappointment before they lose all hope and walk away. I've owned only the latest and greatest of HTC phones on the market, and it was only a matter of inevitable time before the random reboots, crashes and frozen screens come into play, you just get fed up of having to constantly take out the battery to fix your phone... SAMSUNG definitely gets the everyday needs of real world use. Love my SGS3 !!!
Just take a quick look at the link below if you're still not convinced bro... In the end, the choice is totally yours to make... We here at XDA just try to help and inform each other the way family would. Best if luck though bud.

Super AMOLED HD
You’ve probably heard lots of press regarding this display as it’s been the frontman for Galaxy S phones for quite some time now. One of the best features about these display panels is that their black levels are*unparalleled–that is to say that when displaying black, the screen is practically off. This results in much richer detail in images (it’s black level, not white level that increases this quality). Combined with very high brightness and great viewing angles, the result is excellent contrast ratio which makes Super AMOLED displays perform valiantly in the outdoors. You may also hear people describe Super AMOLED colors being “vibrant” and/or “punchy,” which is also due to this great contrast ratio.There are some drawbacks however to this display tech. Due to the nature of how the colors are delivered, Super AMOLED tend to be blue/greenish in color repdouction, which can be unwanted for those preferring neutral color balance. In addition, although the display consumes little power when displaying black, web browsing–which predominantly uses a white background–saps battery life disproportionately quickly. Finally, the display of the Galaxy S III uses a PenTile grid, which decreases*the*actual number of subpixels used on the display (and thus the pixel density)–this is noticeable at high*magnifications, but for most users will go unnoticed.
Super LCD 2
Super LCD 2 is a great all around screen as well. Although it doesn’t have killer black levels or astounding brightness, it has great white balance and accurate color reproduction as well as a true RGB subpixel layout which renders the finest bit of detail. In Chris Ziegler’s review of the One X, he notes that the Super LCD 2 display “[has]*got a near-perfect 180 degree viewing angle and perhaps the most accurate color reproduction and color temperature available…” and furthermore, “At 720p, it falls well into ‘retina’ territory where the individual pixels become invisible to the naked eye.”ConclusionIf the Galaxy S III’s display was a Super AMOLED HD Plus with an RGB stripe display, this debate would simply be a matter of whether you prefer color accuracy or vibrancy of the display, with which the argument could be made that while important for computers, color accuracy is not [as] important on a phone and thus the Super AMOLED’s colors are more*aesthetically*favorable. However taking the PenTile arrangement into account, the rest of the factors can seem to be a moot point to many buyers, especially when they see images like this:
The truth is, unless you have microscopic vision or are purposely looking for image artifacts, there is no way you are going to notice a difference on the screen.
After all of that, it boils down to a matter of personal preference

I actually do notice the difference though. Samoled hd has deeper blacks and whiter whites than the slCD2. So in the contrast category, Samsung wins imo. Although color reproduction, the slcd 2 had more natural tones.

How do you feel about Samsungs Display?

I first found this forum when I got my SGSII and read about the yellow tint issue, bad colour banding etc. It drove me insane the first month because I couldn't get over it. I eventually got over it after some time due to it getting "old".
I hoped my Note II would have a good screen but it seems the tint can be found in all AMOLED screens. It was easy to notice the yellow tint in my SGSII but it was very weak compared to others so I were happy. On my Note II you can notice it (I think) if you concentrate really hard and it saddens me. You also have the weak lines (colour banding?).
So, how do you feel about this? Is it something you can get over and just accept that Samsung make worse screens but with awesome hardware? The reason I stick with Samsung is because I love them and I wouldn't want to choose another brand. But still, it hurts me when I realized that Note II still has these issues. I understand all manufacturers has their problems but we're in 2012, is it impossible to create a screen that is "perfect"?
Please no "I don't have this problem, my screen is perfect". We all know everyone's phone have some kind of this issue. Is it a issue or is it something you have to accept?

I don't have this problem, my screen is perfect. I'm saying this because it is. I don't see any tint or anything.

For me the screen is georgious. I like it very much, the screen doesn`t have that flickering sometimes the Note1 had. The colours are vivid, full and the screentones are custimizable.

It is indeed awesome, but the issue is still there. I don't like to have brightness on because of possible burn in, I keep it at 0%.

Is it true the Note II screen is brighter than Note 1?
I didn't have a chance to compare.
On the other hand, Note 1 colours are definitely more vivid and more awesomelicious!
And mine after 6 months, have a strong yellowish tint together with a burnt screen.
I'm not impressed with AMOLED's longevity.

My own Note II aren't very strong in brightness but others might be. My SGSII definitely have stronger brightness! My SGSII didn't have any burn in, maybe due to the fact that I keep the brightness at 0%. To scared for anything else hah.

I doubt his screen is perfect, I asked nicely for no such posts because we all know it's not true.

AMOLED is juvenile technology. It's definitely not ready for public use. Pentile displays look horrible, even at a higher resolution, burn in occurs incredibly quickly and colours are over saturated to disguise the quality. Personally haven't seen the colour banding myself but enough people report it to make it a real issue.
AMOLED is the way forward, but it is not ready for everyday use. Samsung need to put their heads together and get production rates sorted out. Only when they can start churning out RGB displays that are correctly calibrated and don't suffer from burn in or tinting after a year can they really consider AMOLED suitable for mainstream consumption.

Haven't noticed any problem with the screen because I am not looking for it. If you have to concentrate that hard to find it, maybe you should concentrate on something else entirely like going out and enjoying the day?

Yes. I am complaining about Note 1. I'm glad they solved the issues in Note II. I saw my friend's Note II a while ago. Indeed they solved most of the issues.
IM IMPRESSED.
But I still suspect longevity is an issue.

Won't it be possible to tune the colour of the screen when roms become more developed?
My SGS used to have a yellow tint too. Increasing the blue in the built in colour tuning app changed it to pure white.
I think a while ago I remember reading someone using an app from the play store to tweak the colour of their SGS 2 screen too. I'll try & find it.

Here it is. It's called screen adjuster.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netmanslab.sa
Try increasing the blue or lower the red & green and see if that gets rid of your yellow tint. You have to be rooted.

Well, I have to agree that Note has "burned mark" stain like on the screen. Mine was the first batch for Malaysia. I also noticed the same stain like effect on the Samsung's Technician's Note. But I have no problem asking Samsung to change the display for me. After replaced, there is no problem with it for about a year now. Could it be that the first batch of display have such problem?
For Note II, it's crystal clear. No stain mark. I suggest that anyone who is not satisfied with the screen should either exchange the phone or have the display replaced.

Guess some had unlucky screens, but i really like the Note2 screen. And I got one white and one grey, both have np with tints, flicker or bad colors.
But i am not the one to speak after years off use tho, as I change mobile quite often. But Note i use longer then I usually use any mobile as the functions and Spen on note is hard to find on other devices.

After using the original Note for over 8 months I had no issues with its screen at all except for the very light black clipping under very specifc conditions,.And now almost after one month with my Note II, I can confidently say that this is the best screen I have ever had,no yellow or black issues,so the OP either has a faulty unit or he is a troll.
Sent from my Note II using the Spen.

There is not a single AMOLED screen which is problem free. Be it tint or any other thing. It's quite true that people who are saying my screen is 'perfect' either don't know what a perfect screen is or simply lying.
And yes, my Note 2 screen has Yellowish tint, but it's on a much lower level than my S2 and spreaded all over the display unlike S2's only left side area. So I'm more or less happy with it. This is my 5th OLED displayed phone and NONE was perfect, NONE. Only which was my favorite and near perfect was Wave S8500 screen.

Trolling again? For someone without the note 2, you sure spend a lot of time whining about it.
If people arent happy with it, they should get it replaced or sell and move on.
We have two n7100's in the house. Both are fine.
Note I didnt say perfect because its very rare that something is perfect. But we arent going to stare at the screen from 2mm away checking every pixel.
And everything will have a flaw in someone elses eyes.
So going by the op's logic, anyone that says otherwise is a liar?

To be honest my screen has no tinting like what the op said.
Also, I don't get why people don't use it at a normal brightness level. If it burns in then have it replaced while it's under warranty. That's what I did with the s2.

1080 screens

Wanted some input from someone more tech savvy than I. Since the difference between 720 and 1080 smaller tv screens to our eyes are not much different (so I was told it only matters on very large tv's)
Will there be a huge discernable difference btween 720 and 1080 phone screens to the naked eye?
Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

I'm sure it makes a difference. How big of a difference I don't know. I haven't seen a 1080 screen yet. But the Note 2 has the best screen I've ever seen. I can't see the pixels, but when I look really close I can barely see the ragged edge of text. Simply reading it's wonderful, no pixels.

For a screen as big as the note 2's, you will definitely see a difference between 720p and 1080p.

I saw a droid dna and note 2 comparison side by side of the same .jpg image and I mean on the 1080p screen of the DNA you could definitely see the shadows on the space shuttle were more defined and not as washed out as the note 2 . Other very minute details were visible when you really looked at them . At first glance you could again see the dna was *slightly* more defined. Due to the lower pixel density and the 720p of the note 2.
That being said . Any difference was only slight and would not have lead me to chose the DNA over the note 2 alone. Now THAT being said. If you were going for the most high definition clearest possible picture with super bright colors . The note 2 is definitely not the winner.
I purchased the note 2 because I was going to buy a tablet in addition to the phone I had and the note 2 was JUST big enough to where it was acceptable for browsing the web and gaming as well as all the standard smart phone features. Im pleased with my choice as far as what I was looking for / expecting in my comprimise.

Same here. I had the nexus 7 and a Galaxy nexus. When the Note 2 came out I bought it simply because it's just big enough for both without carrying 2 devices. As far 720 vs 1080 I don't know that there would be to much visable difference. Not to mention you would need more battery to carry the extra on a 1080. I'm very happy with the screen on the Note 2!

NZTechfreak's connectivity review seems to imply that it can do this, are you sure it can't?

The Note 2 has plenty of pixels to do everything you want it to. Adding more pixels isn't going to make your user experience much better. Maybe worse if it drains the battery. Also, I would rather have the extra .5 inches of the Note 2.

Is there a point to 1080p screens?

With all the talks about Note 3 having 1080p screens - made me wonder, would there be that much a difference between 1080p and 720p screens when it comes to such small screens? I'm not talking of the screen quality, which is a whole different topic. Obviously it requires much more battery power, so is it worth it, really?

Makes no difference to me. I think my note 2 screen is good enough as is. Would choose battery life over pixel density any day.

Me too.I looked at the Note 2 and HTC One screens with the same image at the same time and i don't noticed any difference except the Note 2 being a little bit more saturated.And I like that saturation

The difference between 720p and 1080p screens is nearly not noticable for the human eye unless you realy blow up the image .

1080p is pointless on a phone sized screen. The only reason they made that jump is for marketing purposes. To the ignorant masses 1080p must be better because it's a higher resolution. The note 2 screen is already amazing and while I may upgrade to the note 3, which is almost certain to be 1080p, it would be for reasons which aren't the screen.
Sent from the mighty Note II.

Coming from an S3 to a Note 2 I did notice the Note 2 screen looked more "grainy" due to the larger pixels. However now I'm used to it I can't tell the difference.
I'll have to see the 1080p screen before I make a definitive judgement but I suspect you will be able to see the difference on a 5.5"+ screen. And bear in mind that the note 3 may well have a larger screen.

Same here, the S3 screen was so sharp and vivid I was slightly dissapointed when I had both in my hand to compare but on it's own merit I now love the Note II's screen and the phone as a whole, and would much prefer a little more battery life v a 1080p screen.
In fact, I don't even have the urge to upgrade anytime soon to any other phone as the Note II ticks all the boxes for me :good:

On a 5 or 6" screen the difference is not noticable by the naked eye.
I rather have a 5" 6mm thick Note 3 with no bezel, 120 grams and 3 days of battery life.
But Samsung seems to take it into a different direction which will ultimately result (I think, this is my thought) in loosing customers that prefer a thin, light and slick device over a feature bloated brick. So I will NOT update to the note three but either go 'back' (in screen size) to the S4 or switch to another brand altogeter. The HTC one seems nice if they fix that camera...

It's just a thing that looks good on a spec sheet. The only jump from 720p would be to 4k to see a difference. A few years back when I was looking for a tv everyone said unless your having a tv over 32" the difference between 720p and 1080p is negligible. So to see a difference on a 5" screen, doubt it.

It will be noticeable even with a naked eye, we just like to say it doesn't to keep ourselves satisfied with what we already own.

Optimus G Pro vs Galaxy Note 2 screen/batt life

Is the increased resolution of the G Pro a big deal ? What is the G Pro superior for and where (if anywhere) will you be able to tell the difference side by side?
What about the battery life?

The screen on the OG Pro absolutely blows Note 2's away. All benchmarks I have seen favor the OG Pro. IMHO, the only category Note 2 wins is the pen. If you must have a pen, and think you can avoid losing it, get the Note 2. (I've heard that the OG Pro will work with any capacitive stylus, just not quite as precise as the Note 2's pen. Haven't tested, though) Note 3 comes out this fall...
---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------
Note 2's battery can probably do a bit more screen-on time because of the less demanding display, otherwise pretty close in this category.

Ive had past experiences with lg and never will i be buying an lg phone again. I like custom roms and new updates..and with lg,they take a hell lot time to update their rom. Plus when they do it, they give u crappy software.
Get the note 2 and u wont regret it. Battery life is awesome. I get 6-7h of screen time with moderate use. Anyway just my 2 cents..Good luck with ur decision.

I already have the Note 2 actually, but it's clearly a defective unit, as it randomly reboots and freezes. I'm thinking of returning it for another Note 2, but I was considering the G Pro.
I'm pleased with the screen of the Note 2.In what does the G Pro screen "blow away" the Note 2. Again, I know, more pixels... but is that really noticeable?
Don't like the locked bootloader on the G Pro

I spent some time with one in the AT&T store a few days ago. The OGP screen is all that it's cracked up to be. It's virtually impossible to see pixels, and in a totally other league from any of the 720 * 1280 screens available.

Ive played with the note 2 and the screen realy is that much better. Plus while lg does have crappy software there will likely be lotsa development once the bootloader is unlocked and will solve that problem. What can't be solved tho is samsungs shotty craftsmanship. U drop any samsung device from more than waist high, and ur replacing something, if not the whole phone. Just youtube droptests for samsung devices they consistantly do the worst of any device. As for a stylus the screen works with gloves on, anything can be used as a stylus on this ive seen more than one video where people used a regular pen although there no software support for it. While other phones may do 1 or 2 things better you can't buy a better all around phone right now. And its lookin like its gonna be that way till the note 3 and even then the enyxos 5s are barely outperforming the 600s although their design does give them better battery life.

Is the increased resolution of the G Pro a big deal ? What is the G Pro superior for and where (if anywhere) will you be able to tell the difference side by side?
What about the battery life?

I'm pretty much in the same boat but compared against the S4. Im also a bit more concerened about phone durability. I take care of my things but I want a little more cushion for when accidents happen. Is the OG Pro just as fragile as the s4? Has anyone managed to accidentally crack theirs?

OK, so I understand that the screen is better, but where will I notice it compared to Note 2? In videos? Pictures? Text? Brightness? Outdoor visibility? Colors?

I have a note 2, an iPhone 5, LG OG, GS 4, and have used One, plus all major devices before. For me, the main difference is the age old debate of LCD vs AMOLED. I prefer LCD. Colors are more true and whites are actually white. You can use different screen modes with the note 2 to minimize the over saturation, but o stool poetry LCD. The OG Pro also does better outdoors in sunlight. Overall the screen seems brighter and the increased resolution does make a difference. In my experience, the battery is not as good on the OG Pro, but still better than most Android devices.

The battery life is a concern to me. How much worse than the Note 2 should I expect. I have to say I have no idea what the Note 2 is capable of, as my current unit is defective.

Get the OGP if you like natural colors and a awesome screen

I had the Note 2. Its about the same. I used it for a while this morning before it even fell off 100%. The screen gets way brighter which believe me u will appreciate.

It's not just the color accuracy. The added resolution really makes a difference. I could read full desktop web sites without zooming in. The Note 2 lacks the resolution for that. The One & S4 screens are too small to do so comfortably. The only strike on the screen is that it can't get the almost infinite blacks of an AMOLED screen.
I've heard that the Note 3 will still use a pentile pixel arrangement. On the S4, that's fine. The pixels are too small for it to matter. But on a 6 inch screen, I know I'd start to see sub pixels. Sure, it would be less obvious than on an S3, but I'd rather not see them at all.

I just got a replacement Note II, and think I'm going to stick with it. The device is easier to get here in Canada, as oposed to the G Pro which right now I can only get from AT&T in the States... The Note can be unlocked for free and used on practically any network here... and the bootloader isn't locked.
I already find the screen resolution of the Note 2satisfying for watching video...G Pro could have swayed me if it was REALLY good in sunlight such as say the Nokia 920, but it appears that isn't...The battery life on the Note 2 is also bound to be better (since the screen is only 720p). The camera on the G Pro doesn't appear to better the one on Note II either, even though the resolution is increased....

Check out this vs review. Lots of good stuff. They put out some opinions and more subjective details. Lots of objective stuff.

I have checked it out previously... the G Pro appears to be significantly better according to that review is the Synthetic Benchmarks, but I have no idea if this is really something noticeable in real life? They actuallly stated that he Note II has better sunlight visiblity what the heck...???

The synthetic benchmarks are one measurement, but the difference for me is not really noticeable from a lag or fluidness perspective. The screen on the pro g is pretty reflective. They're saying the digitizer for the s pen gives it a bit of a filter.

I have the note 2, s4, HTC one, and this phone and LG Optimus G Pro has the best screen of them all hands down. It also has great battery life and the screen does kill note 2. Plus the phone is easier to hold in hand and handle compared to note 2. Note 2 has stylus which is nice but if you don't use it LG is better.

Well being only half an inch bigger then an s4 doesn't make an enormous difference. I had the note 2 and went to the s4 I'm not sad that I lost that half an inch. The pen was cool though. But never used it too much.
