+1.

Here's my 2 cents:

-SAMOLED screen sucks. I have never seen any SII's screen w/out the noticeable bluish tinge. The colours look super fake, artificially contrasted. And I have seen a lot of SII.

-Not everyone prefers the same thing. Some people may like fakey-looking colour reproduction. Some prefer a more balanced screen w better white because believe it or not, most internet contents have white as background. I'm using a Sensation XL. Next to an SII it surely looks paler, but by no means bad. In fact I spend hours surfing webs on it and I have no issues w the screen. But looking at an SII's screen for 10 minutes makes my head spin. The point is you choose what you like, why need to trash other technologies which others prefer just because you think the thing you like is more superior. Im looking right at you "Newforce".

-Samsung fan boys can suck it. Again looking right at the aforementioned individual.
[HTC One X] NewForce:
I see, thanks for the enlightenment. :)

Hopefully it's only affected small batch of One-X and HTC could solved it for all affected customers.

I did not said a single word about how ****ty was a HTC One-X, you did. Ive just merely pointed out what was reflected on the world wide web.

Btw, believed me given the time, if One-X manage to sell more than 25 millions units worldwide, you'll see more than 200+ pages complaining about One-X all type of quality issues. This is especially true with all the past HTC devices bad quality track records, since O2 XDA days.

I know where you coming from, but please don't be so defensive. HTC was not the last words for any mobile parts technology, they are just another OEM mfg trying hard putting things in place properly that they have bought from the original inventors. That's including parts from Samsung.

Lastly, I'm Singaporean, living in high effeciency country Singapore and I do not work for China websites. It happened that I've found this interesting www.ZOL.com.cn China website comparing the 3 devices screen display results and shared it here.

There's also another very interesting one here,

http://news.xda.cn/html/news/1938.html

Omg.. it's from XDA China?

As a Galaxy Nexus and HTC One X owner, I can say SLDC2 easily wins next to Super AMOLED HD pentile. You can easily notice the difference in sharpness. Not only that, the colors look better on SLCD2 for some reason, or maybe it's the contrast or sharpness giving that impression - doesn't matter.

I was showing both phones to many people, side by side, we all can easily see that SLCD2 is better.

This might change when Super AMOLED HD Plus is ready, that would inscrease crispness.

Until I see some side by side comparisons of any new screen (for example SGS3) I don't even think of replacing my One X.

I believe SLCD2 in One X is as of now the best you can get.
[HTC One X] pnnorth:
I've got both devices as well and would agree that the HOX display is definately better. The GN display is still good though and I'm perfectly happy using either.

Samsung are the kings when it comes to spec pi**ing competitions so I'm sure they'll be having a damn good go at beating the HOX display with the G3.
[HTC One X] schriss:
Yes, not saying that GN display is bad. But like reviews say, when you see SLCD2, there is no going back. This will happen with any new better display...
[HTC One X] :
Who makes the SLCD(1/2) displays? Is it Samsung or Sony? definitely not HTC.
[HTC One X] bubigrega:
And???
[HTC One X] schriss:
HTC doesn't produce any displays, they design and assemble phones.
[HTC One X] sirholm:
I got HTC sensation ang GS2 at launch last year and The GS2 was the winner and been using that untill now. Now I got One X and the Note and during the past year I been loving SOLED+, so atm i prefer SOLED, since no backlight is way more relaxing for my eyes to look at.

I love the size of OneX though, so looking forward to the GS3 :-)
[HTC One X] sibyy:
There's a pretty in-depth comparison of the two screens here that you might wanna check out:

http://www.stuff-review.com/2012-04/display-shootout-htc-one-x-vs-galaxy-nexus-vs-ipad-3/

I would say the One X has an advantage but by not as much as I initially though it would.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
It's kind of flattering that an LCD panel held its own against AMOLED as well as the One X's did. I agree with the reviewers conclusions and it does come down to personal preference. It's nice to have choices.
[HTC One X] sharky974:
Uggh, hard to stomach those washed out LCD blacks though

---------- Post added at 08:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------

I like how everybody is bashing the Oleds for bad colors and stuff, but so far in both the comparisons (like the above link, and another one posted before that) the whites look much more natural on the Amoleds and terrible/yellow on the SLCD. But nobody is talking about it.
[HTC One X] Techimplant:
Mine isn't yellow at all..must be a faulty One X that u have there..n I do prefer IPS super LCD 2 of One X..its a RGB display..not the cheap pebtile on all HD superamoleds out there..so the blacks are blacks indeed on One X ..unlike the blacks of superamoled which has grey squares n circles on blacks(black clipping) n serious color banding too..sold off my note coz of that crap..

Sent from my Stunning White HTC One X
[HTC One X] anoniemouse:
Once Amoled is sorted out properly no one will doubt it is the best, after all you will get far superior battery life with these screens.

The pentile matrix will have to be ditched as well, the rgb version is the way forward.

As for now the Slcd screen is the superior, although battery drain is the bugbear there.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Not true, Amoled uses more power on normal colours, it only uses less of dark screens such as blacks, Grey's etc

Have a bright red, yellow, green, etc - basically anything bright & the SLCD2 uses less battery, a LOT less battery.

Amoled needs to light up each individual pixel to create anything that is not dark, which is why it has a large battery drain. - (think of black as each of the pixels turned off) however, use some dark themes & dark live wallpapers & the screen should give good battery life.

I don't think many people view everything as black, people want full colour ranges, they want their brightness turned up - so, in this case - SLCD2 will & always will have the better battery life.
[HTC One X] schriss:
That S AMOLED white isn't better white, it is bluish colour temperature while SLCD has more warm colour temp. This needs to be compared to some reference displays, like properly calibrated LCD display. Not like that, side by side. You can easily see that the "more white" screen is actually blue, not white.
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
We photographers call it "cold" ;P But yes the GNote my sis uses has a very cold white, while the HOX I have is SLIGHTLY warm.
[HTC One X] anoniemouse:
I had one of the original Amoled desires & mine constantly out lasted the lcd versions for battery life, even the newer desire s that came out later on too.
[HTC One X] abhijit1289:
Check out the difference when both are magnified 100x. No questions asked.:sly:
[HTC One X] brent8577:
I prefer IPs and didn't like the gs2 screen.
[HTC One X] krispy1:
the sgs3 screen is using pentile and 4.8 vs 4.65 nexus makes it less sharpe

ive seen one x screen and compared to the nexus i confirm the one x screen is superior. its really an amazing screen
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
Which of these two displays do you think produces color better and is sharper?

Interesting article comparing the latest LCD technology to AMOLED.

[HTC One X] schriss:
I owned both: Galaxy Nexus and One X, everybody knows One X has the best screen there is on the market as of now. But there are trade offs as usual. S Amoled doesn't take as much power as SLCD and of course blacks are more black. But I still prefer One X screen because of it's sharpness. Colours are great too and when I look at the same colourful wallpapers as I had on G Nexus and SGS2, they look amazing on One X too.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
Myth.

"According to the latest analysis from Intertek, a company that deals with testing and certification, this new display from LG beats the Super AMOLED display in terms of power consumption, which amounted to only 624mW for LG’s True HD IPS display versus Samsung’s Super AMOLED panels 1130mW consumption."

It's the size of the One X display that's killing the battery, not the technology used.
[HTC One X] schriss:
I have seen exactly the opposite once on the internet. It was SLCD screen next to SAMOLED, same size, where SLCD was shown using 1000mW while SAMOLED was only using 500mW.

I don't know what to believe, but my G Nexus had big screen too, yet it would last 2.5 days, while One X lasts 1-1.5 days.
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
Okay people, having had the Galaxy Nexus and now One X.

One X screen is nicer and the pentile vs RGB is noticeable to an extent. You wouldn't be able to tell unless you put both side by side. 1280x720 is such a high resolution, pentile doesn't effect it as much compared to low res 840x400 etc....

They're both beautiful screens and have their own pros/cons.

Whoever says viewing angle is clearly better on a One X is just a fanboy or something, because SAMOLED has some of the best viewing angles possible, the actual touch technology is built into the glass meaning one less layer and the OLED is literally right on the glass, theres absolutely no gap. One X viewing angle are great and i'd call it a tie if anything between the two.

Colors......you can tweak SAMOLED colors to be more naturaly, but out of the box, SLCD2 is always going to be warmer and more "realistic". Granted, SAMOLED has greater contrast and greens etc...are more vibrant. SLCD2 is a huge improvement though on the One X and it comes very close to the SAMOLED HD. Of course, blacks are still much blacker (nearly nonexistant) on SAMOLED and contrast is much greater. I like either, and don't fret over it. I really don't notice unless i'm comparing side by side and it's not a big deal to me.

Pixels, yea theyre both crazy high resolution and you wouldn't be able to notice a difference unless you look at those stupid 100x magnified pics or put them side by side and squint. One X takes the win obv, but it's not a humongous difference between the two in terms of the RGB vs Pentile, One X is clearer though and wins.

Power consumption, depends what your doing. Right now, I'm blaming Tegra 3 for the bad battery life and all these software problems on the One X. But in general, One X will win in batter life if the browser is used a lot. SAMOLED HD will destroy SLCD2 if using a black wallpaper or anything dark as the pixels aren't even turned on (very very very little electric current still runs thru them). SLCD2 will do better on whites compared to SAMOLED HD obv, but if you have a blackwallpaper or anything, SAMOLED HD will do wonders. Granted, SAMOLED HD still does very well on white backgrounds, but its hard to tell until power usage is sorted out on Tegra 3, the browser on the One X eats battery like no other.

I'd recommend looking at the GSM arena battery tests and just comparing the One X and Galaxy Nexus. Talk time is very impressive, while the rest are not. Especially video playback, very disappointing on the One X.....Tegra 3 should excel in it with the companion core and all that supposed technology they have. Waiting to see if software updates will improve things.....and when they decide to release goddamn kernel sources
[HTC One X] schriss:
I agree with all the above. Coming from Galaxy Nexus, I had BOTH phones for 2 weeks and plenty of comparisons were made.

Honestly? First time I compared screens side by side I was blown away by SLCD2, it had better colours! Clarity of course too.

BUT remember this, this is always going to be the case, once you see better screen there is no going back.

BUT if you are coming from any non-720p screen, you will be amazed by Super AMOLED HD.
[HTC One X] louis.b:
So now fake-looking artificially contrasted colours are "good"? And dont forget the blue tinge. I'm no technie, but the first time I saw a Samsung screen I felt odd, not because of the fake ass colours but because everything seemed more blue. Since then I have never seen a Samsung w/out the blue tinge. SLCD 2 for me.
[HTC One X] Eggcake:
Tests from Anandtech prove that the main drain is the SoC not the display. That"s a myth.
[HTC One X] enyaj:
If everyone just use the phone how it should be used, battery should be fine. My HOX battery went from 100% to 97% in 8hrs standby. Is that bad? I'm not an expert, but for me that is fine. But once I start turning the phone on, just scrolling and really doing nothing useful, of course the battery gets drained easily. The more advance smartphones become, the more power hungry they become right? To those who own a PSP, soes the battery last long if you play with it say 4-6 hours straight? Just sking coz I don't own one.
[HTC One X] jamisont:
when HTC switched to SLCD from amoled (due to shortage), they got it from both sony and samsung and later on other taiwanese companies like AUO and sharp.

SLCD was developed by samsung to make up for shortage of amoled, sony called it super lcd, HTC called it slcd, samsung called it superclear LCD for their own products,

basically they're all same panel used same tech(PLS) developed by sony S-LCD Corporation, which is now 100% Samsung Electronics.

it seems like SLCD2 isnt improved version of SLCD, its just same panel as LG's ah-IPS-LCD.

this display war has begun before smartphones, its basically VA vs IPS on LCD display panels.
[HTC One X] Pluto:
AMOLED screens hurt my eyes, the oversaturation of colors like orange and yellow is why I'm not using them, not Pentile.
[HTC One X] jameslfc5:
I'm going to say One X :D
[HTC One X] aslan93:
This is because all super amoled HD screens at the moment are pen tile .. there is a non pentile (HD plus) screen on the Samsung tizen testing device which is the best screen in my opinion anyway that's the only fair comparison to the one x. Apparently they didn't put it on the s3 because they wouldn't be able to make so many.. even though they officially state some crappy reason
[HTC One X] DarkDvr:
One thing a lot of people are forgetting is visibility on the sun.

I gotta say, even with SAMOLED Plus on my SGS2 I had problems when using phone on direct sunlight.

With One X it just isn't the case, it doesn't care if its bright or dark, I can use it outside easily and I see all colors and shades of gray. Happy about that.
[HTC One X] LuffyPSP:
I tend to love samoled but then after bought htc one x, its awesome! No more outdoor viewing problem, even at 40% brightness.
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
No, they didn't use an RGB SAMOLED HD because of longevity. The red and blue pixels or something begin degrading after a while so they opted with non-pentile so it lasts 18 months.
[HTC One X] Jobiza:
SGS3 has same screen as Galaxy Nexus. :D Clearly One X has better screen, but of course SGS3 has other advantages over One X, it's just personal opinions which One to get. ;) Both are Android phones so we are on the same boat.
[HTC One X] nativestranger:
There are 2 versions of slcd2 panels on the one x. One has a warm cast and very oversaturated colors the other one is close to neutral whites and less oversaturated.

I would rate the white slcd2 panel above the samoled hd and the warm slcd2 panel below these 2. Colors especially skin tones looks awful on the one x with the warm panel. And theres no way to tone it down like on the sgs3.
[HTC One X] aslan93:
Yeah that's the crap reason I was talking about.. but obviously that's not why they didn't do it
[HTC One X] Arsaw:
I never put such a big icon on my screen. So no problem for me on any screen. Anyway, both look sucks after magnifying like the photo above. :p
[HTC One X] tkolev:
Look at the color of the white letters. Even if the pentile crap is a little less visible at higher ppi, the blue tint is still there.
[HTC One X] stesa:
a woman is alive. three died.

ie: before Dracula's bite . and after.
[HTC One X] Arsaw:
Ya. But i see no issue with blue tint. Why everybody want see the white to be so white. I always try to keep my screen darker by installing some mods to turn everything into dark theme.
[HTC One X] rfgamaral:
Because white should be white and not blue?
[HTC One X] manlisten:
Hilarious. :D
[HTC One X] Charlie Wax:
There is actually one device from Samsung with SuperAmoled Plus HD screen.

It's Galaxy Tab 7.7.

So I don't believe when Samsung said that pentile is better than + version. Hell, SAMOLED+ was an evolution from pentile amoled screen.

So I would rather say they didn't have the capacity to produce the SGS3 with SAMOLED+ screen.

I've got myself HOX and I'm more than pleased.

But one thing I don't understand, on PhoneArena.com they have said that SGS3 is more user friendly LOOOOL.

As much I as I remember, HOX has an inbuilt app for making MP3 ringtones and even it allows you to download additional Scenes,wallpapers, ringtones etc. And HOX has a waaaay better WiFi reception and signal strength. SGS3 has nothing above.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Cheers
[HTC One X] aslan93:
Yeah so there are 2 super amoled hd plus devices) and about the capacity point - thats exactly what i said, they wouldnt be able to produce so many so they stuck with pen tile and gave some ****ty reason for it.

The ONLY thing i can see SGS3 beating HOX in is the build quality. Heres why:

I have the following samsung devices: 2 sgs2, galaxy note(also 2) and one galaxy nexus.

The following htc devices: sensation xl and the one x (my fourth, i sold one and exchanged others for new)

Well when compairing the build quality of htc versus samsung its clear that htc basically sucks. .. On paper and on pictures the one x seems like an amazingly built device, i mean its a unibody phone so nothing should move or creak right? Like in nokia lumia?(which is also polycarbonate unibody and also doesnt creak and which i aslo have 2 of) well one x does creak and it feels cheap and thats only now.. My sensation feels like its about to fall apart being half a year old and i havent even used it for that long and never ever dropped it.. I feel like one x is going to be the same. Its already pretty bad.

Samsung phones on the other hand feel very premium and well built, all of them with no exception. Even my one year old galaxy s2 feels like a brand new! Btw the super amoled PLUS screen on it is absolutely fine too :)

Vibration feedback:

Htc one x : the worst ive ever seen (and ive had many phones) it clicks when using keyboard for longer than ten seconds it is too weak, it makes uneven noises.. On all the hox that ive had.

Samsung(all mine): amazing haptic feedback, even and strong adds to the overall premium.feel.

The other thing that sgs3 might beat the hox in is software(might)

I also want to punch every person who says sgs3 is better because of benchmarks or processor. Those things dont matter. Its all about the system at this point.

For me though the screen of one x is a decider although ill give sgs3 a go because i think that overall i might enjoy the quality more.
[HTC One X] Dr.Paul:
Which is the conclusion engadget reached in their s3 review. I have both and concur with engadget...
[HTC One X] Nubzori:
I've tried both SGS1 and 2 I didn't like their feel, cheapy plastic ain't gonna cut it.

In the other hand I had my One X and whilst it's plastic too it has the premium feel HTC has always has, my previous device was Desire HD and it had premium feel also when all samsungs are piece of cheapy plastics.

My Desire HD had little creak because of it's antenna/sim card cover, but in One X there is absolutely no creaks. I think you have had a faulty device :S

Compared One X screen to the SGS2 screen, One X blows it out of the water nicely 8-)
[HTC One X] aslan93:
Perhaps I do have a faulty device.. but its my fourth and all were like that I bought them from different stores and different countries and still. Also my sensation was ****. Yeah I agree that galaxy s2 has a little bit of a cheepy plastic feel compared to newer phones but the galaxy nexus is a lot better.. its a joy to hold. And is also a slimmer than one x so easier to hold with one hand. Galaxy s3 is only better than the nexus. It will be pretty good I think.
[HTC One X] godutch:
I didn't drop my hox but my sgs2 made some big drops (eg. including trying to use it as a bubble meter hanging the curtain rail) and it survived without marks....it's not cheap plastic, it's very tough plastic and it doesn't creak either. But I have to agree the screen on the sgs2 was it's biggest let down (and my reason along with sense) for getting a new phone. I really disliked the blackcrush of the sgs2 screen, it makes men in suits look like big black blobs (I like reading news and the news features a lot of men wearing suits :p )
[HTC One X] cranio84:
I prefer slcd2

[HTC One X] stesa:

[HTC One X] Charlie Wax:
And one more thing that almost everyone has forgotten about it. It's those damn software updates. My SGS2 had about 4 updates in 1 year and HOX had already 3 or 4 updates in a last couple of months. That's why I always have admired the HTC for their fast updates. Samsung really doesn't care about It's customers, but to be honest, they are all driven by profit and some are more customer friendly and some are little bit hostile.
[HTC One X] Charlie Wax:
P.S. Here in Croatia, Samsung has some kids 17 to 20 years old working for their Samsung Mobilers team and truly they are brainwashed already. Some kid from Samsung Mobilers team has stated and tried to convince people on Croatian forum that SAMOLED with pentile matrix actually is better and uses less power and that It's impossible to produce SAMOLED+ HD of that size (4,8")like yeah, space travel is impossible also......wtf?!?!?! Either he's dumb or brainwashed or maybe both lool :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] Funkym0nkey:
We tend to love what we have and be biased about it.

SGS3 screen is different than Nexus. It is calibrated differently and it actually produces better image which are warmer than we are used to seeing from AMOLED tech not as warm as One X, but not as cold as Note or SGS2 or SGN. It does not have the excessive blue tinge that we are used to with AMOLED screens.

As reviews are coming out, this is becoming more and more clear that it can hold its own against One X in practical world. Not under microscope. And the only place where you might notice it is if you hold your screen filled with TEXT only at distance of about 15cm.

luminance grain we saw on Galaxy Nexus is gone (I know it first hand. It was the first thing I noticed on my Nexus ). And it helps a lot as you notice this improvement immediately.

Its similar but it got better since Nexus. Marginally, but thats enough for it to compete against One X. Its the design factor that is going to make me stick with One X for little bit longer than I though, not the display. Probably till Note 2 comes :P
