Jun 24th
If the title of this post isn’t enough to entice you, we don’t know what else to say. We’ve gone and run some sunlit comparisons between Apple’s brand spanking new phone’s Retina Display and Samsung’s equally fresh and exclusive Super AMOLED panel on the Galaxy S. We don’t know if we’ll be able to settle the argument , but we’re certainly going to subject both superphones to an expansive visual inspection. Follow us after the break for video exploration of this most pressing topic.

iPhone 4′s retina display claim put under the math microscope
Jun 10th
Samsung might have entertained us with some trash talk about the iPhone 4′s IPS LCD yesterday, but this stuff is of a rather more somber variety. Raymond Soneira, president of monitor diagnostics firm DisplayMate , has said that Apple’s retina display marketing is inaccurate, because he believes a display that truly makes pixels indistinguishable to the human eye would require a density in the vicinity of 477dpi. The iPhone 4 has 326dpi, and by now you might be surmising that Steve Jobs flat out lied when he said that the iPhone 4′s pixels are too small for the human retina to discern from 12 inches away. But not so fast, says Phil Plait from Discover , whose résumé includes calibrating a camera on board the Hubble space telescope . He’s done the math too and finds that the 477 number applies only to people with perfect vision. For the vast majority of us, Steve’s claim stands up to scrutiny; even folks with 20/20 eyesight wouldn’t be able to tell where one pixel ends and another begins. So it turns out Apple can do its math, even if its marketing isn’t true for every single humanoid on the planet. iPhone 4′s retina display claim put under the math microscope originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 10 Jun 2010 16:01:00 EDT.

Samsung: iPhone 4′s retina display is nice, but it’s no AMOLED
Jun 9th
Samsung seems to have taken exception to a little sidenote made by Steve Jobs during his iPhone 4 announcement at WWDC10 this Monday. While waxing poetic on the virtues of IPS , Jobs let us know that he considers it an entirely superior display technology to OLED, and now the world’s biggest display maker has a few words to say about it. According to a Samsung spokesperson, the high-res retina display on the iPhone 4 offers only a 3 to 5 percent advantage in sharpness over its own Galaxy S Super AMOLED screen, but sucks down a wasteful 30 percent more power. Moreover, Samsung believes its screens offer better viewing angles and contrast, and concludes by saying that “structurally, IPS LCD technology cannot catch up with AM-OLED display technology.” And here we thought Samsung and Apple were getting along so well .
