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.
we'll.. that's the only thing that bugs me..
i can live with a locked bootloader,
i can keep suffering from the wifi disconnections
but that pentile matrix is really stupid. (why was it invented in first place.. argh!!~)
does anyone know about a 4" lcd i can get that will fit (size & connectivity) into the atrix with the same resolution (960x540) but NON PENTILE?
thanks!

EDIT: It's also worth pointing out that it's not the pentile aspect of the LCD that you should be complaining about. AMOLED screens are pentile too. Every time I see a galaxy s owner whine about the Atrix screen being "pentile" I want to punch them in the throat.
Yeah, the problem is actually the normal saturation of the colors, while the samoled has very saturated colors.

pretty much any phone that's not ours, or the galaxy-S gen of SAMOLED.
The screen is alright compared to the matrix that the galaxy s is using.. our screen is much brighter and battery efficient..
but what if there was a replacement screen which is full RGB stripe, wouldn't you take it?
I know i would... full rgb will make gradients smoother...
p.s.
I'm not hating the amoled but lets face it.. its over saturated.. natural colors on lcd looks way better to me.

of course most of us would take a full-stripe screen but they don't and never will exist for our phone.
not necessarily..
Apple made a "Retina Display" with a smaller screen size, means.. higher pixel density.
so we know the technology exists, maybe a full rgb screen will be available in the future..

Probably. On a different phone.
The display drivers are written to drive the current LCD in the device. The display hardware is built around it, it's not as simple as just getting a new LCD. Not to mention the fact the digitizer is generally integrated into the displays as well.
i haven't thought about it Ririal, you're probably right.
so.. it wasn't enough they locked the bootloader
they had to make everything else so complicated so no one will mess with it.. damn..
Lol, I think it's intrinsically complicated, not Motorola's doing.... This is a dual core phone, not an abacus....

Uhh, I've never seen any pda/phone that you could put a different display in. It's not Motorola, that's just how these things work.
Is the pentile matrix really such a big deal? I mean, I notice it, and I'd prefer not to have it, but it's not going to make me switch phones.

Fitment isn't the issue. You can't just replace the display, the entire device is built around the hardware. You'd have to build a new display SPECIFICALLY for the Atrix, from scratch.
i know what u mean, cable arrangements.. etc..
well, if it'll be working, ill figure out the rest
so ill be in touch with Moto China soon and we'll see if its not a pentile one.
and its not a big deal, and i'm not whining about it.. i'm just trying to find a better screen and hoping to find one.

it's not just cable arrangements. it's hardware. a pentile matrix is run by a different LCD driver than a standard LCD. that driver is most likely soldered straight into the phoneboard or baked into the processor. at that, the connectors for the two types of screens are probably different as well.
honestly you're going to get nothing but disappointment and frustration. these are not honda civics, you can't plug-and-play between phones willy nilly. i'm an MSEE and i would love a non-pentile LCD as much as you, but it's in all likelihood impossible.
you're absolutely right..
i just finished a phone call with a costumer service representative from Motorola China..
she didn't understood any of what i've asked on the regarding the display on the Moto XT882..
because she barely understand English and i've tried my best to make it easier & simpler for her
and yet, it didn't work.. she was very patient and nice but still.. it was a total waste of 25 minutes.
and although it was a total fail.. i think it was worth trying
I got the samsung a70. I like the phone's 6.7 inch display. But the aspect ratio makes it a bit narrow. That's why I'm thinking about getting the huawei mate 20x which has a 7.2 inch screen. Do you think I should stay with this phone or buy the mate 20x?
Bigger screen, faster cpu, faster gpu....more expensive.
Yes its obviously an improvement in some areas - it's a different class of phone at a higher price point. The question is are those improvements important to you and is the addition cost justifiable. Since "better" is a subjective term, you would need to answer that one yourself.
20x

I love the Samsung A70 phone's thinner aspect ratio because the extra length makes it a lot more practical as a phone and in most cases makes it as enjoyable to use for consuming media as a larger phone with 16:9 aspect ratio, and still fits in my pockets easy.
For my uses, which doesn't include a lot of video gaming, I don't ever want to use a 16:9 phone again.
Not to mention I only paid $370 USD for my A70.

But from what I read you can unlock and root the mate 20x. Unless I'm missing something.
Mate 20X but it costs double the price of the A70.
Excellent performance. Insane battery life. Excellent stereo speakers. Flagship build quality. Screen is wider and bigger but maybe less sharp than A70.
Mate 20X is a beast.
Alas, No Huawei for me as the problem with android updates and google play updates still not fully solved, then the bootloader is locked as i know and no custom development in kirin processors as snapdragon variants, narrow phone means easier to use and carry with one hand , a70 not a bad phone really the only things that pisses me off is i prefer stock vanilla android and only mono external speaker, but every thing else is near perfect

Is there really a big difference in display sharpness between the mate 20x and a70? They're both amoled and hdr. Do they look so similar that you can't tell the difference in sharpness?

Hey Mohamedselim. I'm kinda confused. You said there's a problem with android and google play updates? I don't get it. I thought emui gets updates. And I thought google play get updates too. Please explain.
You alao said the bootloader is locked. But I've seen on XDA where you can root the phone. Again please explain.
And which phone would you prefer?

Difference in sharpness must be noticeable. Mate 20X has a much bigger and wider 7.2 inch screen with a low pixel density of 346 only. While the A70 has a much smaller and narrower screen but a higher pixel density of 393.
This means A70 screen is definitely sharper. It's a very high quality super sharp AMOLED panel comparable to other Samsung flagships.
Meanwhile the Mate20X has an OLED panel not SAMOLED. Don't get me wrong, I have seen reviews on Youtube of the Mate20X and the screen looked very nice. It's not like we are talking about LCD vs AMOLED.
Mate20X is still the superior phone and multimedia beast.

I prefer the Mate 20X hands down. Bigger and wider screen (A70 is too tall and narrow). better aspect ratio 18:9 (A70 has the ridiculous 20:9 which makes 90% of online videos appear with huge black bars on the sides). Better stereo speakers with loud and clean sound (A70 has a single mono speaker with just average loudness). Better premium build quality. Better performance with flagship chipset. Much better cameras. Amazing battery life I have seen 10 to 12 hours sot on reviews (A70 battery life didn't impress me at all) . Fingerprint sensor is blazing fast and super accurate (A70 fingerprint sucks).
That's all I can think of right now.
Amoled IS OLED, it's short for Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode. It's one of two types of OLED panel, the other being PMOLED (Passive Matrix OLED). All modern phone displays are AMOLED, although samsung like to bundle everything including the touch sensors in to to one layer and call it AMOLED. The underlying oled tech is the same however. Don't know if the mate 20x has a single layer panel. Doesnt make much difference tbh.

Hmm the A70 objectively isn't as sharp as the panels used on the S/Note series. It also doesnt support HDR or wide colour gamut (DCI-P3). I honestly don't think they are that far off though.
Battery life of the A70 certainly impresses me - I regularly get 7 hours plus OST. Doesnt mean that couldn't be improved upon of course but it's far from terrible. Much better than what I ever saw from my old S8.

Heres another site comparing the 2 phones that state the a70 has super amoled and the mate 20x has amoled. It also states that both phones are HDR:
http://phonesdata.com/en/compare/5742/5451/
The A70 doesnt support HDR10 or Dolby vision or anything like and doesnt have a HDR compatible screen. Netflix hides its HDR content, youtube doesnt give you the option to choose a HDR stream etc.
That website doesnt mention HDR at all under the screen section. Notice it mentions both HDR10 and the DCI-P3 wide colour gamut for the mate 20x but not the A70? That's because the A70 doesnt support them.
It totally depends on your taste of phone, I don't like to waste more than 250 euro on a phone since I break one once a year (because I'm clumsy when I'm drunk).
I bought my samsung a70 for 240 euro by my local carrier (without a loan or an subscription) if I look online for the mate 20x it cost around 900 euro which is way to much for a phone for me since I only use it for whatsapp, discord some browsing and watching a movie in the train.
You should check these marks if u want to buy that phone:
- Do i want to look cool with a 900 euro phone from huaweii or a cool samsung phone
- Do I want super deluxe photo's or decent photo's
- Do I want to watch super crisp netflix movies on my phone or do I want to watch movies just a little bit crisp and cropped to fit for full screen
- Do I want a bigger screen or do I want a phone that just fits in your pocket
- Do I want to pay 3 times the price for a phone or just a small price for a perfectly fine phone
I would recommend if u have the money the huawei mate 20x but if u don't just go with the samsung one and go to a movie or smthg with a nice girl with the money you spared

Are you blind? I posted a link posting that it does have hdr. Youre not looking in the right place.
Hi,
over in the ultra section, there is a thread about bad OLED uniformity and a green tint, which is really badly visible in dark environments e.g. in the dark grays used in many applications:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s20-ultra/help/green-tint-dark-background-low-t4065621
The attached picture of my display was made by zooming into the (uniform) 5% gray picture in a dark room with 25% brightness using an S10+. It is rather horrible and badly visible in normal usage.
Is anybody here expierencing the same issue? Please feel free to head over there, also, if it is not an Ultra.
Thanks and best regards,
Corwin
I have this problem too. I'm on my second S20+ now and it has problems too. I'll return both. It sucks.
That is really unfortunate. Thinking about trying another S20+ - but I think we should probably wait for later batches. I am also hoping for software optimizations, as it is better at 60Hz - but usually, nothing can be done about it.
How do you test for this ?
Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk
For me, I did not need to test for it, as I noticed it right away the first time using it in a dark environment.
In this post is a 5% gray picture which can be used and instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82017239&postcount=17
I also had a bad uneven grey on my 512GB Ultra. Swapped for the S20+ and it's basically perfect. Good luck on the OLED lottery.
Mine does not have this problem. Is related to where the phone is marked for distribution? I'm on a US/Verizon handset.
Mine is also a US version. On ATT. Its just an OLED panel thing. Samsung used to have this issue a lot back in the S6 through S8. From S9 and Note 7 and on screens were great. I think with the new 120HZ screens the uniformity issues came back.

should I be worried if my whole screen is green when showing this 5% picture in dark room? upper part of the screen seems to be slightly brighter green - it is my first samsung and I cannot find anywhere how ''good'' oled 5% should look like...
My opinion: Of you need the picture to see it and do not notice it or if it does not bug you, you are fine. If the display is uniform, whatever it is like, I think it is ok.

Absolutely!
I have the same issue, S20+ 5G Exynos
So how do you test this again? Using a dark grey picture with the brightness set to 5%?
ETA: NM, I read that wrong. I downloaded the image and tried it at 25% brightness. I'm not seeing the same thing? Is it meant to be dramatic to be able to notice if it's a bad panel? I'm seeing a normal display?
On number 5 I can say that it is finally bearable. It was manufactured on the second of march. I did not check with the rest. I only opened them, handled them delicately and checked them. All were terrible.
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

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.

True, the S6 screen definitely looks better, but I am going to keep it, make some tweaks and see how that goes.

what kind of tweaks are you thinking about? would share the results and your experiences with it later
Best of luck to you all. I can't complain about the screen. Images are clear and look great. Hope everyone finds what they want.

Its not that the screen is bad, the reason I said something is because I have the S6 and the screen on the S6 is better then the S7, the S7 is suppose to be a upgrade, thats what I see as the problem. Not that the screen on the S7 is bad, its just not as good as the S6

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
