The Samsung Galaxy S III is really all about everything -
the marriage of design, software features and processing power, but since
you’ll look at the screen all of the time it’s mostly about the screen. The
Galaxy S III has got a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of
720x1280 pixels. And this alone should already disappoint some of you waiting
for a Super AMOLED Plus screen. Let us explain why that’s kind of a letdown.
A Super AMOLED screen is the same as the one on the Galaxy S
II Galaxy Nexus and this means that it’s not using the full RGB matrix, but
instead goes for the PenTile RGBG pixel arrangement. This means that
effectively you get a third less subpixels, hence a slightly worse picture.
Samsung obviously relies on the HD resolution of the display and the excellent
contrasts of its AMOLED technology to
make up for this, but it’s clearly one area where competitors like LG might
take the leading edge and capture geeks hearts.
