Just check out the difference in color rendering and luminosity between the two.
And the quality gain gets even wider with viewing angles according to PLS technology sheets I've been reading.
This seriously makes me condiser the gtab again over the transformer now.
Well Samsung did state that PLS was the evolution of IPS. So... I'm assuming it was supposed to better from the start. I don't know if it truly is. I will be waiting for Anandtech's review to find out.
I bet Samsung is dying to put Amoled on on these new tabs, but I doubt it. I would only buy it if it was Super Amoled Plus (Pentile Matrix...), But I doubt it. Seems like it would be a little expensive. I do imagine however, that Sammy's made some sort of cheaper display that looks just as nice.
Well Samsung have shown a 7" SuperAMOLED screen intended for tablets
My guess is that the next Galaxy Tab "7" will have SuperAMOLED (hopefully plus) and it will probably have the Exynos SoC

Interesting, but I doubt the 10.1 will be SUPER AMOLED because it's only $500.
It won't. They already said it will be PLS.
Interesting... There was a notion ink adam a few inches away
UPDATE: I had to take the videos down for the moment at Samsung's request. There is information that they are about to change some design features and specs, but I don't know when and what exactly. I'm sorry for the situation, but I assure you I'll post them back as soon as I get word of it! Thank you for your interest and patience
I've had the chance to play around with the Note 10.1, that's the tablet with the S Pen. The reason they've delayed the release is that they've changed it dramatically since the preview at the MWC. It now has a 1.4GHz quadcore processor (I think it's the Exynos on the SIII), a 5 MP camera (instead of the 3.15) and the back got a hyperglazed finish just as the SIII. I've had the pebble blue one and I'm not sure if there is a marble white one.
The S Pen is much bigger than the Note 5.3 (looks EXACTLY the same), but smaller than the model shown at the MWC and it now fits inside a vertical hole in the lower left side. An amazing software feature is the Photoshop Touch app which is brilliant (as you may see in my video).
Here are my videos:

It's an astonishing device, clearly stepping way higher in the high end line and it works like a charm. If you have questions feel free to ask, but unfortunately I no longer have it to do extra demos.
Which is the resolution? Still stuck at that 1280x800??
Yes, but I had no problem with it. At 150 ppi it's quite ok in my opinion.
If the resolution will be the same it will not compete with the ipad and will not sell well and i will not buy it either.
Thanks for the videos! This is a first day purchase for me. Any news on the release date?
Even 1920x1080 are too low for a 10.1. To compete with ipad visual quality they can barely put this resolution into a 8.9, but for a 10.1... no way it's too low.
Omg, Samsung is fond of low ppi especially if fullRGB, yes it's cheaper to build but OMG!
Unfortunately I have no such info, but given the fact that *I* (not some hotshot official) had access to one, it can't be far.

BS.
1920x1080 is normal-sized monitor HD resolution, to say it's too low for a 10.1" screen is beyond ridiculous.
iPhone's "Retina" resolution is completely worthless on a useless 3.5", iPad's "Retina" display is overkill. The higher the resolution the better... up to a point.
Beyond that you are just paying a weight and power consumption (and also brightness in the case of the Ipad) penalty without getting your worth (the higher the resolutions the less your eye is able to see the difference).
Full HD resolution on a 10.1" would be ideal.
P.S. "Samsung is fond of low ppi"??
The Galaxy Tab 10.1's PPI is over 10% higher than the iPad2's.
Great. Thanks for the videos. I really look forward to a launch. Hopefully very soon. I aim for this to be my note-taken tool at work. I hope it will live up to that and be usefull. (Not hand click when using the pen etc.).

Normal sized monitor is not meant to be used as close as a tablet.
The closer a device is used the higher the ppi should be. For a smartphone pixels start beeing unnoticeable from 320-330ppi. Actually the best job is made by lg with 1280x720 on a 4.3" and 342ppi, higher than apple.
The tablet is meant to be used less close than a phone, so the ppi can be lower, around 250... the value adopted by apple in ipad3.
So for an optimal view the ppi has to be higher. 1280x800 on a 10.1 does mean a too low ppi (maybe not for a monitor, but surely for a tablet).
And yes, I confirm that samsung is fond of low ppi devices. You tell me the higest ppi of a fullRGB display of a Samsung device. FullRGB only, because the pentile matrix trash doesn't worth any talk, you know that at ppi being equal the visual quality of a pentile is much lower due to less subpixels, so i.e. the actual ppi of a 300ppi samoled hd is around 250, but this is something already well known.
Do you have any information about battery life?
i'm thinking about buying a tablet .. and i was comparing between this one and the galaxy tab 2 10.1 .. i'm going to buy it for college use .. to be honest .. i haven't had any tablet before .. it's my first .. and i want recommendations .. which one should i buy .. galaxy note 10.1 or tab 10.1 or go for an ipad 3 ?

The tab 2 10.1 is painfully slow. It's disappointing because it could have been a much better option if they had just put in a better processor (I know the tablet is supposed to be entry level, but the year-old exynos from the s2 would have been better). I'm not a huge gamer, but I do want a tablet that runs without much lag out of the box. I also want to play HD video files without frame skipping and the tab 2 10.1 isn't very good for this either.
As far as the other 2, it depends on you. The new ipad is nice. It's fast and has a fantastic display. My brother in law has one and absolutely loves it.
Personally, I usually gravitate towards android (and samsung). The note 10.1 doesn't have the PPI of the ipad, but it can fully display 720p hd video which is good enough for me. The screen is also a little bigger (than the ipad). Memory expansion is nice through microsd and the US version should have the IR blaster to use as a universal remote. The potential of using the s-pen for note taking and drawing is also a big plus for me. The quad core processor should also be able to handle just about whatever you throw at it (at least for a couple of years).
I wish the resolution was higher. I hate the display on my Tab 10.1, there's a distinct lack of clarity.
Probably gonna exchange my tab10.1 for the Note10.1
Hope it will launch soon, any rumours on that subject?

That ppi is still ridiculous. Either they increase it till around 250, or sammy will get only low end customers.
But since they still use that crappy ppi on high end smartphones, I guess they are not able to increase the ppi in a tablet.
How close do you hold a tablet? How far do you sit from a monitor? For me it's only a few inches difference in usage? i sit approx arms length away from my monitors and hold my tablet only a few inches closer than that (arms slightly bent)

well then the tab 2 10.1 is out of the race .. now the iPad 3 And The Note 10.1 .. so your recommendation is to have the note 10.1 right?
That's what I'm going with, but i don't think there's really a wrong choice

I'm amused by all the comments linking the tablet to the low end of the market simply due to the low ppi. Clearly, everyone has different requirements out of a device. By putting a stylus on a 10" tablet, Samsung attained my personal "Shut up and take my money!" threshold. **** PPI, do you know how incredibly, mind blowingly useful a stylus is? As soon as I can figure out where to buy this thing, I'm buying it. I've been begging for a full sized tablet with a stylus ever since the original Note came out. This is my actual dream come true.
Hi there!
I currently have the Galaxy Nexus phone and i'm looking to replace it with a new-ish phone. I heard about how good is the Galaxy SII but the "Plus" version has just come out with slightly improved specs.
But my question is about the audio chip inside. Is it the same as the original SII (which was rather poor and has bad audio output/reproduction) or the much older and original Galaxy S? Is it the Wolfson or the Yamaha chip?
Please advice. Thanks.
Not sure yet...
From what I can gather, the only difference between the two is an improved video core for the SII Plus.
Not much information has been revealed, but apparently the main chip set is the same.
Keep an eye out for more information, and be sure to think hard before you buy
Peace,

I currently Have the GS4, but have been looking at videos of the Note 3 and have found a new love. I have never toyed around with or entertained the idea of a Note device before. Should I make the jump to the Note 3?

It's going to be faster with the additional S-Pen features.
If you can handle the size go for it - that's the only debatable thing if money is not an issue.
make the jump. i sold my s4 weeks ago for note 3. i think the note 2 is just as fast as s4. Note 3 will be so much better then s4. Size could be your only issue

Note 2 is def not as fast as gs4....that said the n3 will be that much faster then the s4.im keeping my n2 and s4 as well as getting n3...should be interesting comparing them all hands on

You know the differences are all easy to see. Just buy what fits your budget, and realize the Note 3 is better in every way, except if it's too big for your needs. I don't know of many people who even care about the size, in fact believe it's a benefit because of the larger screen.
Previously covered by many websites, it has the following improvements over the Galaxy S4:
Instead of 16-bit 48kHz sound, it has 24-bit 192kHz HD hardware. Thus superior sound playback and recording.
Instead of just 1080p video recording (1920x1080), it has 4K HD video recording (3,840 x 2,160)
Instead of just 1.9GHz quad core and Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 chipset, it has Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset w/ 2.3GHz quad-core
Instead of Adreno 320 graphics chipset, it has Adreno 330 for faster graphics and other features improvements.
There is the addition of the S Pen and ability to detect pen pressure on the screen, which the S4 lacks.
Instead of the 5" screen 1920x1080 screen, it has a 5.7" 1920x1080 screen. There is loss of pixels per inch, in trade off for larger screen.
Instead of plastic body, it has metal bezel and faux leather backing "premium" style.
Instead of Android 4.2 stock, it has Android 4.3.
Instead of USB2 interface, is has USB3 for faster data transfer with PC and faster charging ability.
It should have other improvements, like faster internal storage, and perhaps a change in the Super AMOLED display, which might compensate for the loss of pixels per inch. The S4 has diamond pentile pixel layout, some people hope the Note 3 has something else which results in clearer display or more subpixels (but nobody knows yet, as these specifications have not yet been released)
Pretty much you are getting a much better device for your money with the Note 3. It has no downsides, unless you don't want the larger screen/device size.
Buying galaxy s4 in 2015
S4 is still an amazing device when s4 was released it was 42,000rs in india and in 2015 it is 17,800rs which is same as price for galaxy e5
Which phone should i go galaxy s4 or galaxy e5
Things for which i use phone:
Calling
Photography
Gaming a bit
Performance
And main is moding,rooting and flashing roms
From what I can see. the S4 has better specs. The E5 only offers a 1.2 quad-core and 1.5 GB ram. Unless the E5 has newer technology (which would give it an advantage), the S4 is better.
I also think that the S4 has more support in terms of modding, rooting and flashing stuff.
Just make sure to get the GT-I9505 if possible. It seems to be more active than the GT-I9500
Hmm...I thought he posted a typo there and was asking about the S4 vs the S5. Comparing the E5 to the S4, here's what you'd be giving up. The E5 does not have LTE, being limited to HSPA+. The screen resolution and density are lower than the S4 (720x1280, 294ppi vs 1080x1920, 441dpi). Each device has a quad-core CPU, but each core of the E5 is slower than the S4 (1.2GHz vs 1.9GHz). Internal storage is the same, but RAM is only 1.5GB, versus the 2.0GB in the S4. The E5 camera is an 8MP shooter while the S4 has 13MP. However, this isn't necessarily a bad thing, as the E5 should actually take better pictures in lower light situations.
The S4 is the clear winner in every category. Even against the S5 it still holds its own. While the S5 does have a faster processor, slightly larger screen, and a beefier camera, the improvements are not significant enough to compel S4 owners to upgrade. People who never had a S4 however would benefit, or they can wait for the S6, which should become available in a couple months or so.
s4 still a beast at 2 years of age!
Yes the battery life is very dull on 3hours screen time
But style is like boss my friends boxy phones likke mi4,grandprime,grand2
S4 looks better
