What's that? I thought the screen was super amoled
Google it. It is super amoled but the screen type is pentile matrix
Please remove this post.
It's actually SAMOLED+, there are different types of amoled screen that's been used in phones. SAMOLED+ is an upgrade from SAMOLED, by introducing a higher ppi and a normal rgb layout from their PenTile usage. SAMOLED is actually better in direct sunlight compared to lcd technology. The comparison your talking about of amoled vs slcd is an year old article, which dealt with the old amoled technology.
retina vs samoled+ is really about what's you use it for.. do you want color or better detail? that said unless you look very close you can't tell the difference between amoled samoled and samoled+ . if you're watching a movie or music video, it'll look better on samoled+ than retina, but if you're reading a story you may be better off with retina

Except you'd be reading that story on a tiny 3.5" display. The larger screen size tends to make the SGS2 a better reading platform as well.
Retina display was pretty good last year, but now with the QHD phones, Super AMOLED plus and Super AMOLED HD?
And you own HTC devices and not an SGS2 yourself. I say you're mistaken
Coming from a guy who used to own an SGS1 where text was pretty pixelated and an iPhone 4 which was wonderful, I must say the Super AMOLED plus definitely blows it away.
The Super AMOLED HD coming for the Note and 7.7 will probably blow the iPhone 4 away as well. I wonder if Apple has made another amazing display for the iPhone 5 to watch
Hi
I bouht from Ebay Motrola atrix 4G an it is nice but the screen is pixelated on the home screen games and it is cresp only in text
Is there any way to fix it? Mabe if I change Rom It will be better?
Please answer me back
please post a screenshot
I guess it's the pentile display.

Haha you would know about pixelation, PiX3LaDo
Hey; at least the RGBW PenTile arrangement on the Atrix renders black-on-white and white-on-black text readably. The only readable text on (at least lower DPI) RGBG pentile OLEDs is green
Earlier android authority said the nexus 10 had an AMOLED 2650*1600 screen. I was sad when I read that because I despise pentile subpixel.
But then android authority posted the "official" specs, but this time it didn't say pentile.
So does it have an IPS LCD or (S)AMOLED?

Right its RGBW not RGBG so Its gonna be quite different but definitely better than RGBG pen tile display in terms of whites even when compared to LCD it would be brighter
Also reviewers say that display looks quite awesome

RGBW? is it different than the standard RGB subpixel? like the [retina] ipad?

It uses IPS screen. I would inform you that IPS screen might show problems with ghosting image as new Apple Macbook Retina Display.
Personally I prefer IPS LCD to Super Amoled technology. I prefer the more natural tones to the saturated colours on the SAMOLED.
What it is:
PLS - Plane to Line Switching. PLS screens are exclusive to Samsung.
RGB stripe - just like your desktop display.
What it is not:
IPS - In Plane Switching. While IPS and PLS are similar, there are differences, and PLS is generally thought to be superior.
RGBW - There is no evidence to support it being a RGBW display. Samsung has a RGBW display, but Google wanted a pure RGB display.
Pentile - Nope. No funky triangular subpixels or RGRB going on here.

It seems like you may have a misconception here. AMOLED does not equate to pentile. Pentile refers to how the subpixels are arranged. AMOLED can have a RGB subpixel arrangement and LCD can be made to have pentile subpixel too. Just saying.

Nope it's PLS-LCD, not AMOLED. Completely different, no per-pixel backlight.
Samsung seems to be saying that PLS is an IPS like display, we'll have to wait and see what the reviews say.

I think you confused the Note 2 with the Note 10.1. The note 2 is SAMOLED with full RGB subpixel.

It is impossible to set up such an huge OLED screen, with a high pixel density of 300 ppi.
If galaxy s3's screen(~5 inch) has a 90% yield, then a 10-inch-oled-300ppi screen would only get a 65% yield.
further more, the screen may take up too much power, around 10 watt, (white at 300nit)

No, I don't have a misconception.. I know Super AMOLED means PenTile subpixel, whereas Super AMOLED+ means RGB subpixel.
At least that is what an article I read said.
At any rate I know that 'AMOLED' doesn't mean PenTile, but in most cases [aside from Super AMOLED+] it does.
And thanks everyone.. I can't wait to get one of these, but I will have to wait till they go for cheaper on craigslist, because $499 is a little to much to spend right now. [and 16GB is just a little too small]
Any information on the screen technology used on the S5?

I think its still pentile.
I was just on Google searching for this without answer. I didn't watch the live event but I'm going to assume it's pentile, I've seen no reference of a "plus" following the display type sadly

if it's Pentile, then S5 will be the first Galaxy S phone not to have any screen technology improvement over the previous model.

You can't know what samsung have done inside 5.1 AMOLED FHD screen. I thing color will more accurate and brighter.

Samsung has been stuck on the 1080p pentile since S4.
I bet the Note 4 will also be pentile.

Does it really matter? I see this PenTile thing as pure whining, you'll never notice it in a 1080p screen unless you put your device under a microscope to use it.
Yes it does matter. And I am not whining because the screen technology has not improved after three devices.

So apply for a job at Samsung and teach them how to do it.
Seriously, S3 -> S4 was 720p to 1080p jump.
S4 -> S5 was the "screen now is brighter and can be very dim" jump.
I think you are complaining just because you were fool enough to believe the rumours.
Interesting article comparing the two technologies here

Of course it will have technological improvements. The Note 3 was also "just" 1080p pentile and DisplayMate called it one of the best screens ever they tested, 600nits of brightness in auto mode under sunlight, improved color accuracy and more efficient operation. You bet the S5 screen is further improved, as well as SW modes to choose the most colorful or most accurate for your liking... this phone is only a disappointment if you judge by the looks, so far it's very promising all around.
If you guys missed it during the launch, s5 has brightest led screen ever made by Samsung @500 nits. Pentile vs rgb argument is a total bull**** for phones with full hd screens

It does have the brightest OLED screen, but LCD LED screens have been far brighter then that. The old LG Optimus Black from 2011 had a 700 nit screen and my Nexus 7 goes to almost 600 nits.
I saw a video of the Sony Z2 and Samsung S5 side by sidem and while the screen was definately brighter on the Samsung, it was also looked worse because the colors were too bright and washed out. I don't think OLED looks good when it's so bright.
But i can't be sure until i actually see it in person.

Its not pentile. Geex. I can't believe anybody has pointed out it is still diamond array RGBG. BIG improvement over pentile. Not going to lie though. Even though the RGBG looks fine and comparable to a standard RGB screen I wish it was at least like the galaxy note 2 or moto X screen. RBG with a bigger blue pixel. Looks awesome, can't tell it's not standard RGB stripe and it is efficient. I think the gnote2 and moto x so far have had the most efficient AMOLED screens so far.

It's PenTile.
The diamond is the arrangement, but it is still PenTile (just as LED HDTVs are still LCD with the LED simply describing the backlight). As you said, it's RGBG (another combo used by Moto was RGBW). RGB is the preferred subpixel layout. But seriously, the layout could be stripe, diamond, or it could be in the shape of a penis for all anyone cares, RGBG is PenTile.
