Galaxy Nexus has curved PenTile OLED display

, Oct 21st 2011 Discuss [32]

For those of you who like to be rather specific about your smart devices and their displays, it's time to get down to brass tacks about the Galaxy Nexus and it's OLED display. Specifically what we want to focus on here is the fact that when you've got PenTile in play (that is, on a Super AMOLED display like we're seeing here) instead of NOT in play (like on a Super AMOLED PLUS display), you get loss of detail.

OLED TV Panels Not Cost-Competitive Until 2014 Says Taiwan TFT-LCD Panel Maker

We want stuff that's not TOO expensive, but we want it to be top of the line too - so when are the OLEDs coming? Read The Full Story
