AMOLED is now the best (Note 4 is top)

[spinedoc77]

The bolded is false. I have polarized sunglasses and can read the iphones' display without a problem.

Actually it's quite true. http://www.maclife.com/article/news/displaymate_takes_gadgets_and_polarized_sunglasses

The iphone screens look horrible with polarized sunglasses. I believe it's endemic to most if not all LCD screens.

Edit: further researching this I see that the ip6 has a new polarizer which doesn't have issues with polarized sunglasses, although I haven't tested it myself and still remain skeptical. But for now I'll have to retract this issues with ip6's, although it still remains more than valid on the previous generations.

 

[pdqgp]

So now the review site is wrong. Lol.

Displaymate is wrong, ok.

No, Displaymate isn't wrong. However, I welcome seeing the correspondence you receive back when you debate this with them as I trust you're going to.

 

[skratch77]

I'd love to see the color accuracy of iPhone at its max brightness and also its contrast ratio.

I'd bet black is almost 100% grey and completely out the target range on every color

 

[FFR]

No there is no need too.its to bright 90 percent of the time and when I'm out for a run etc auto mode works great and even max brightness will do most times.



Stop spreading bs lies you don't have a note 4 or never had one.



Samsung never over clocked its cpus either stop spreading bull ****



Then ran at advertised clocks.please post up where they over clocked the cores and I will PayPal you 20 bucks



Ps I laughed out loud when I read to save battery life lol I get an easily 2 days of power using the phone staying on 4G lte and not even using wifi.



Yeah I run the screen that way to save power lmfao

Had a note 4 for two weeks returned it and waiting on a nexus 6 should be here in December. My other device is a 128gb iPhone 6 plus.

This is how the bs starts. The first claim is the you couldn't read the iphone display with polarized sunglasses. So that "claim" is wrong and now the next "claim" is the screen looks horrible. I'm not even clicking on the link, because whatever they have to say, it's not an issue for me.

I DON'T CARE. I'm not doing precision work or watching vidoes on my 5S as I'm walking around outside in bright sunlight. I have to be able to see the display enough to:

1. take pictures
2. respond to notifications
3. dial a number to make a call

All of the above can be done and the display is quite readable.

Yep, thus the reason for my edit exonerating the ip6. The article is very accurate, but in relation to the 5s technology and before. In researching I see the ip6 has pretty decent outdoor viewability, that's great for ip6 owners.

I read all those before and just re read the apple biased anand one and knowehere in that review does it say the cpus were over clocked and they even mention samsung never gave official clocks on the gpus in the exynos version and they say no harm there so again where was samsung overlocking it's cpus?

The snapdragon version also used an agresive governor but never went over its advertised clocks and app developers have access to use the same clocks done in its benching govenor.

Edit doing a search on the powervr tricore Gpu found in the exynos gs4 shows a max clock of 533mhz and that is exactly what the bench hit.

 

[FFR]

Nope, I was just stating the fact that the Note 4's display has higher brightness than the ip6's. I agree though that it's not a huge deal and both displays are nice and function adequately in direct light. In the end that's all we argue about on these forums, the last tiny bit of percentage that no one cares about and doesn't really make a difference.

The note 4 has a higher peak brightness, iPhone has a higher sustained brightness by about 30%.

Sustained brightness isn't dynamic.
samsung's automatic brightness has a range of 478-750 nits. The range is dynamic depending on factors, one of them is battery life, so while you may receive a peak of 750 nits here and there it will fall fairly quickly, Samsung has some very aggressive battery saving parematers.

Auto brightness will work upto 5% battery life

Most iphones says 5% life and just shut off

Yes auto Brightness is a range 478-750 not just a peak number.

lol Of course your magic iPhone does that.

Actually it did and there is a huge recall on a crap load of 5 and 5s iphones that will get a free battery swap at an apple store.

I remember my phone saying 8% and it ringing and by the time I answered it up to my ear it would just shut off

Yeah it was just my magic iPhone bud....that's why there is an official recall page on Apple.com about my phone and I'm making it all up lol

I agree we can research things and come up with a different opinion than one who has access to the exact same materials.

Google/bing/yahoo etc are the internet's best and worst friends. There is a lot of stinky, smelling garbage out in internetland that would have you believe they smell like roses. You have to be able to separate it out.

Credible websites that actually provide useful information, opinions and data are far and few in-between.

Most a just click-bait for advertisers.

 

[sracer]

No I am gutted. I'll never be able to show my face at the annual 'phone screen of the year' awards again.

I feel like I'm less worthy as a human being because my phone is not considered the best.

And a part built by a third-party is being recalled. This is relevant to the conversation how? And also you are making stuff up. That specific recall applied to the iphone 5, not 5S. And the 5S was distinctly different and was not a "crap load" as you say.

 

[skratch77]

Are you joking? The guy said the note 4 can't sustain auto brightness for more then a few seconds and then says the iPhone can stay max brightness for 30% longer (no idea where he got that number)then the samsung and I brought it up because most iphones go from 10% to off in seconds and can't sustain SH** on max brightness. They can't even receive a phone call most the time near there lowest charge.

Ps the whole iPhone is made from 3rd parties apple doesn't manufactur anything from memory

Pss I know plenty of people that say there 5s has crappy battery life and go through the same issues I had with my 5.

One, that's just for the iPhone 5 not the 5 and 5s.
Two ,that falls under defect, which apple is remedying. It never happened to me on my iPhone 5, 5s, 6, or, 6 plus. But mine weren't defective.

 

[mi7chy]

Lol just like when Samsung was overclocking their CPUs to give their phones better benchmarking results.

FUD. Disabling power saving, like what I do on my laptop when plugged in, is not overclocking. It still runs within spec.

I said Samsung couldn't sustain peak brightness (750nits) for more than a few seconds, not auto Brightness.

Displaymate.com has all the data I am using.

----------

It's not a defect it's a recall

Follow the chain:
The battery is defective -->> apple initiated a recall.
You than proceeded to exaggerate on the amount of the recalled units and falsely included the iPhone 5s.

Not the same as what we were discussing.

Wrong, it was cheating but it was not overclocking, the benchmarks run at the maximum advertised CPU speed

Save your money, I'm not in need, but you are mistaken once again.

From the Engadget link:
"Coincidentally, the site also found code within the GS4 that indicates the existence of a program called "BenchmarkBooster," which is responsible for overclocking the processors. when certain apps are running"

Perhaps the benchmarks you found are post the overclocking scandal.
