Samsung Galaxy s4 Display Pros and Cons - Cons

Display - Pros & Cons
Cons
1. The Galaxy S4 is not the first to have a 1080p full HD display. 1920 x 1080 pixels can also be found on the Sony Xperia Z and HTC One. 2. The HTC One's 1080p SuperLCD screen is best known for its color accuracy. 3. Super AMOLED, as it destined to be, shows massively contrasted and vibrant colors. Reds and Oranges just bursts out of the screen, simply colors inaccurate. 4. The blues and greens really pop. 5. A bigger screen, you have to get used to it. 6. Pentile Matrix, greenish. 7. Pentile Matrix, annoying when reading texts. 8. Who ever you are and whichever Galaxy you came from, you have to struggle with reflections under the direct sunlight. 9. Bright colors, pitch blacks, but Galaxy S4's SuperAMOLED panel struggles in bright daylight compared to LCD and IPS screens. These issues are worsened by the phone's sub par auto-brightness mode. Besides, the new Gorilla Glass causes extra reflections. 10. When it comes to Sunlight contrast ratio, Nokia 808 PureView, Apple iPhone 5 and Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III are the real winners. 11. Whites are brighter and viewing angles are better on the One. 12. Reds are a bit too saturated. Actually, Colours are rich and bold, but little oversaturated. Its a fact that AMOLED panels, in general, are more saturated in color than LCDs. 13. Though the Galaxy S4 display isn't as bright as the iPhone 5, color accuracy seems pretty dead on arrival cause its over-saturated. 14. Though its a Full HD and an impressive boost from the 720p display of the Galaxy S3, for many tasks, you probably won't notice much of a difference. 15. The HTC One has the same resolution, but its slightly smaller screen size means its pixels are filled tighter. The One boasts 468 pixels per inch (ppi), which narrowly beats the S4's 441ppi. iPhone 5 manages 326ppi. 16. S Pen won't work on the GS4 due to the lack of Wacom digitizer. 17. Most prefer the screen on the HTC One cause it looks matte like a magazine beside being accurate in color reproduction. 18. Samsung is always troubled when it comes to screen brightness settings. S4 is no exception. The GS4 cannot set the proper brightness levels its screen should be vested with. It changes suddenly and dramatically without a prior notice. You better turn automatic brightness off. 19. AMOLEDs look best when the brightness settings are set to the highest. But at lower brightnesses, its gloomy and dull. On the other hand, higher brightness levels kill the battery levels. 20. Though Gorilla Glass 3 is durable like a King Kong, the screen protector will need a case. Keys, coins and such are the usual suspects. 21. SLCD is superior to AMOLED. If your thing is the screen, then maybe a 1080p LCD2 is the one to get. 22. A considerable amount of discolouration occures when viewed from an angle (not an issue when viewed from the front). Its a familiar situation with most AMOLEDs. 23. Its hyper sensitivity, you can even swipe wearing gloves. But it only works with lighter gloves. It wont work with a thicker pair of gloves. So you'll have to take working gloves off. 24. Its larger than its 4.8-inch predecessor. But the 5-inch GS4 display is really narrower. Its just 69.8mm wide, S3 was 70.6mm. Thus it has got more vertical screen space and skinnier bezels. 25. Nokia has showed what a brighter AMOLED can do in direct sunlight. Even in them its not a dramatic enhancement. 26. Enabling the auto brightness setting in the screen option limits the maximum brightness to under 300 nits. 27. The brightness levels of the Samsung Galaxy S4 are about on par with the other AMOLEDs, which is not very high either. 28. Wearing gloves, AirViews, AirGestures, while you're holding your finger over the screen to scroll up and down, it might be interpreted as a press. 29. Giving commands with gloves, the feature first brought by Nokia on the Lumia 920. 30. The PenTile matrix which means there are only two coloured sub-pixels per pixel instead of three. So S4 cannot be compared to LCD-based Full HD handsets, such as the HTC One. Samsung' pixel principle is too basic, is using too many of one colour of pixel, or sub-pixel which is why Galaxy smartphones have had something of a blue or green tint, or been a little low-resolution when viewed close up. 31. In the front, the screen is surrounded by a diamond pattern. A distraction, it contrasts with the pitch black of the display.
