.. performance in the daylight sun. I find the S3's screen is so hard to read outside on a sunny day even on 100% brightness. This was the only thing I miss about my Lumia & the only thing I think will be nice on the iPhone 5.
Will Samsung ever address this issue on future phones or is it just a shortcoming of AMOLED screens?

Just my honest observation, am a huge fan of the S3 but it's a little annoying
I don't see why they can't incorporate some type of filter in the screens as the Lumia does.

Turn auto brightness on and it will counteract the lack of visibility in sunlight if it doesn't then change your rom because something's not right, I can see my screen crystal clear on a sunny day

Must be the lack of those 2 cores that made your screen dimmer

Yes, the S3 screen isn't as bright as the other two phones you mentioned but its not that bad either.

Some people need to stop being butthurt when somebody said something is better on another phone. OLED Screens are worse than IPS screens in sunlight, that's just fact.. most of us know, there's nothing you can do about it.
OP If you want you can try using Siyah kernel and adjust the max brightness value in the STweaks app, it helps a tiny bit. How it affects the health of your screen over a long period of time is anyones guess.
What you guys on about i have the International S3 and it is perfectly normal and very bright i can see it in very sunny conditions. When i first bought the phone it was a sunny day i was sitting in the park messing about with it i can see everything on my screen. Unlike my HTC Desire this was awesomely bright. Anyway i dunno what is wrong with your one though.
Maybe i am wrong who knows but i am not trying to be a fan boy i have both iphone 4s and s3 both are good phones in their own way. but the s3's brightness is perfect for me.
you must live in the desert.
under sunlight, viewing from an angle S3 out performs the lumia 900, i own both.
and where did u get iphone5 to test the screen.
hope apple is not paying you

My Lumia was worlds better than my AT&T S3 (at 100%) under basic sunlight, not sure if there is a difference in the screens for Int. S3 vs mine, I hadn't thought there was? The iPhone 5 has iSight that will act to combat the sunlight wash, so it was a pre-emptive prediction, as the S3 has no tech in it to do that. I don't get why they didn't put the tech of Lumia screen into the S3, it would make sense.

I go with the suggestion in the article that it's a bad Photoshop job. Besides the screen being unrealistically larger, look how close the top sensor is to the display which would be physically impossible to manufacture. If it were real I'd take the Korean mock-up in blue without question.
That looks like some bad photoshop work.
Haha that's for sure Photoshop. Notice exact same battery levels and also blurry graphics.

I have like three our four of them around 1mm in diameter, but like everybody said I only notice it at night or in a dark room with a black background. it's nothing that really bothers me because it's not just any black background but a specific one. I don't know what it is but I dont think it's much of an issue unless you're a perfectionist or have OCD. The only thing I care about is not having dead pixels. I had the vibrant before this for two years and the screen has no dead pixels or burning so I think Samsung can be trusted when it comes to the lifespan of the screens.

I've only taken a few photos with the N4 so far,
Generally...
The S3 camera was brilliant inside in well lit shots (photos with flash came out awful) and the N4 can't match that,
The S3 was always slightly off with certain colours outside, the N4 doesn't seem to suffer this problem.
Things I've noticed...
HDR mode works better on the N4,
The N4 lacks image stabilisation which I liked on the S3,
N4 images look slightly less sharp when viewed full size on a pc (not sure if this is due to the lens, less sharpening or more noise suppression),
When viewed on a PC N4 images seem to have better colour in certain situations (for example, outside my daughters pink coat always looked washed out with my S3 but it looks perfect on the N4),
My S3 occasionally did funny things to peoples faces, made them look like they had been slightly distorted, I could never work out what caused it, it just popped up now and again in photos, not noticed this with the N4.
All my comparisons have been done on my PC and not the phone screens.
That's good to know , Cruz the pictures on the actual phone screens u can't compare ,I shall upload and checc on comp as well

It may not be wrong if OP said the S4 is brighter because the One uses different display panels, and OP may have gotten one that is calibrated not as bright.

Could you please check which screen you own? Because there is a screen made by Samsung (C1) which is not as bright as the average HTC One Screen (C2) or the Sharp one.
HTC ones do vary. Not sure why you are making the connection C1=Samsung and C2=Sharp however. Can you cite a reference for this?

I will post comparisons once I get it bro, I really want the one to do well, I like samsung and I am biased towards touchwiz but I am sick of samsungs complacency... the one doing better will be just the rude awakening that samsung needs... do you know there is a camera/phone hybrid coming out thats gonna be called the galaxy s4 zoom? nope not the galaxy camera zoom but the galaxy s4 zoom and with a qhd screen...grr!
my biggest issue with htc was battery life... thats improved a lot with the one and each day my love for touchwiz grows a little lesser and i like my one a little more
