Hi People,
I have recently got Galaxy S2 and i was comparing it with my older Galaxy S(I-9000)
I was playing same video file in both devices with 0% & 100% brightness.
In my view, Galaxy S was more brighter and natural looking. Where as Galaxy S2 was king of dull. I mean say at 0% brightness, galaxy S was better and same with both the devices were on 100% brightness.
Technically Galaxy S2 screen is better.
Experts - Can anyone of you feel this way? or it is just my observation.
I have also kept the live wall paper "Spring Zen Free" that also was showing better on my galaxy S.
Even in setting screen, white text on black background was looking better in Galaxy S.
Any one has any idea why it is happening like it?
Plz plz comment.
Regards,
Anoop.
My SGS2 better than my SGS1 .

You’ve probably read a little on other reviews about the video playback, it’s uniformly been reported as excellent. It is. In fact I would go so far as to say its peerless in the mobile phone world, and by a large margin (its nearest competitor being original Galaxy S as it happens,

Hello JJE,
Thanks for your quick reply. But could you please tell me that, at 0% brighness of both devices, Galaxy S2 is dull or it is same clear and crisp as Galaxy S?
As i feel it very much that, at 0%, Galaxy S is still brighter than S2.
Is it because they want to increase the battery life?
Kindly revert with your expert comments..

Sorry cannot test now sold my SGS1 .

Hi JJE,
One last question on Galaxy S2. on the bottom tray of home screen of Galaxy S2, you will see "Phone" button which is has got a phone icon with Green background.
Do you see some sun rays like texture (diagonal small lines covering green portion) in the green icon? I just want to make sure that, I too have similar texture for that phone button and it is not something defect in the screen. (you might have to look closely)
Similar structure can be seen in "Applications" icon/button on home screen (which is blue in color)
Kindly let me know.
Regards,
Anoop.
Did you turn the screen power option off? even at 100% brightness, it's not actually at 100% brightness until you turn it off. Also go into the background effect to change the color temp
Play with these settings, it alters the display greatly...
Background effect: Dynamic, Standard, Movie?
Auto adjust screen power: Checked? Unchecked?
Browser brightness: Auto off? Auto on?
Display brightness: Auto off? Auto on?
I have to agree, s 2 is duller than my s (i now have both), maybe a power save feature that you can't turn off ? I've also noticed the yellow tint on s 2, compared to a blue tint on the s, and this can vary depending on what background effect you have selected ! This leads me to believe the colour temp could me changed in software. My itouch has a pinky looking tint compared to either galaxy phone.

Which background setting are you using? Power save feature can be turned off by unticking.
I've sold my sgs too. However there was a week when I had both and I can tell you for certain that the sgsII screen is more natural t in colour then sgs's. Having them both side by side the sgs just looks b l u e. Like really blue.
SgsII screen is the best mobile screen I've used

Yes. Icons look just the way you described. It's normal, it's not a display problem.
So s4 is in stores now and we saw its features hardware and software. I saw the airview feature by hand for example. My question is that cna we get that working to our notes or is it a hardware issue?
Hardware. We won't get a whole lot of gesture stuff that uses IR sensor either. We'll get eye scroll and smart pause (hopefully) though.
The one that you hover your hand to answer the phone? Isnt that controlled with the front sensors?
No, there is dedicated hardware for that. If you want an S4, you need to buy an S4, not hold out hope that the N2 will get a bunch of magical upgrades.
from what i saw s4 sensor is very sensitive, you need to be very close and you will sometimes missclick(seen in the samsung event shown in youtube videos)
the note 2 gives you at least 1.5-2cm with the spen so it works better

s4 has feature called something like "improve touch sensitivity" with that ticked you can work on it even with gloves on. yes with that theres some misslicking when airviewing but turn it off and touch/airview works perfect.
also, s4 has noticeably sharper screen
tried s4 last week
S4 screen is clearly better than N2. No blue/green tint and less staturate. I love to use Pro Photo or Movies mode.
S4 screen suffer smearing while Note 2 not! I use some black background apps and it annoy me in late evening

People who wear glasses love the smart features as half the time they dont work as the camera doesnt detect the white in our eyes :crying:
Damn, I really wanted that answer with gesture.
Misleading title!

I find the screen amazing on N2, but for saturation issues try going to Settings > Display > Screen Mode and select Natural or Standard,, that should sort it.

Natural and Standard are not enough. Note 2 got blue/green tint.

That's not blue, that's the green tint, yes. You could get rid of that easily by flashing perseus.
http://youtu.be/x6-a_sQbRSo?t=1m53s - at least to my eyes, whites appear "whiiter" on Note II, even on stock.
Either way, moot point.
I am currently using Galaxy Nexus, its screen brightness is kind of average nowadays.... Just OK indoors and barely visible outdoors (but feels fine to me)
I tried to switch to Galaxy Note II last fall but hated its screen low brightness, it felt for me like a mirror, reflecting all that light from lamps indoors. Also, I hated fingerprints on it which were visible with the screen on.
I have just read a lot of reviews about SGS 4, that the screen brightness is even lower and it is impossible to see anything outdoors and perhaps it has the same problems of reflecting lights that I hated with Note 2.
Sorry for my English, I hope you understand what I mean
Was already prepared to buy SGS 4 Nexus edition but now I am really concerned about the screen
Probably going to wait for the next motorola devices
There are brighter screens out there but it's a lot better than some say. Unfortunately the auto brightness doesn't work too well which effects some people's opinion a little too easily I suspect despite the fact it's a software issue which will undoubtedly be improved.

I thought it was the exact same screen as the S7 Edge. Am I wrong? Also, Sony came out with a 4K screen; that's better than the N7 screen, right? Not arguing, just trying to understand.

No, it isn't the same screen at all.
Resolution isn't everything. No human is able to discern the difference between 4K and 1440p on a display of this size at the distance we use phones from, so that's just marketing fluff. Subpixel rendering (as found on the N7) is also a pretty big improvement over most (but not all) competitors' screens.
Read through the article - I know it's long, but it'll make things very clear as to why some screens are better than others, and specifically why the N7's screen is better than the S7E's.
All you need to do is look at the two together in direct sunlight and you can see they are not the same screen. My son has my old GS6, and he was struggling in Pokemon Go yesterday, but my Note 7 may as well have been indoors it was so bright. Comparing the GS7E to the Note 7, just from a laymans view, the GN7 is clearly brighter as well in direct light, goes dimmer in the dark while maintaining readability, and the new dual ambient sensors change the brightness nearly instantaneously. The blue light filter is a nice touch as well, although I am not sure I will keep using it.

I got both phone and as soon as i tunr on the note 7 i could tell.

I've noticed that the dual ambient light sensor makes for very accurate and fast brightness changes, too. On every other phone I've owned I've had to install Lux... but Samsung duplicated most of its functionality, and upgraded the hardware to make it even more accurate.
I am interested in buying a tab s2 8 inch. Screen seems to be very nice from the reviews I've read and I need it specifically for reading at night time (so in the dark).
For this I need to be able to set the brightness very low (I am extremely sensitive to light in the dark) but it should still be readable and not flickering.
Is the s2 amoled screen capable of doing this or should I pick a non-amoled tablet (e.g. Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0)?

In my experience, this tablet is made for exactly what you are proposing. If you set the background as black with the text white, you will have excellent contrast without much light shining into your eyes at all, as only the white pixels will be on. If your reading app doesn't off a black background, you can simply negative the image in accessibility settings. I've never sensed any screen flicker on my uint :victory:
An LCD on the other hand shines lots of light into your eyes even with a black background. This isn't great for your sleep a partner will hate you for lighting up the room. :crying:
Get the S2, you wont be disappointed. :highfive:
Thanks - exactly what I was hoping for.
