Samsung: PenTile keeps you happy for longer

Michael Crider, May 10th 2012 Discuss [0]

There's something of a spat among display enthusiasts, and not just the fans themselves: Samsung and LG have been tacitly one-upping each other over the screens in their smartphones for the last year. As videophiles are all too eager to point out, the PenTile pixel matrix that Samsung uses in most of its Super AMOLED screens is technically less sharp and dense than comparable LCD screens. In a discussion at CTIA in New Orleans, Samsung marketing manager (and regular SlashGear contributor) Philip Berne defended Samsung's choices, noting that PenTile AMOLED screens last longer than standard counterparts.

Chris Burns, May 4th 2012 Discuss [0]

There’s a war going on out there between the international smartphone manufacturers, and at this very moment it’s being squared off between Samsung and LG. What we’ve got here are two titans, both of them having been announced just this week to the public for imminent release. The LG Optimus LTE 2 brings on a device with a screen size they’ve not yet revealed made with “True HD” IPS technology – that being more than likely much sharper than what you’ll see on the Galaxy S III, Samsung’s contribution to this equation being a full-on attack with a solid smartphone hardware arrangement and a whole new look at software.
