Nuts to Pentile.
I am not enjoying the UI of my iPhone right now. I'm dealing with rows of apps I have no idea how to organize. I just use spotlight. And I do remember how much I miss playing games in short bursts on my phone, though. Oh how I missed it.
When I get my GN, if I can't see the Pentile, I'll eat my hat.

wtf does that picture mean? Do we zoom and enhance every time to see things like this?

PenTile means I'm going to go into a Verizon store and look at the phone myself before I decide to buy it or not. The only other PenTile display I've looked at for any length of time was a friend's Droid Incredible, and it was incredibly noticeable on that phone.
If super-high PPI can mask PenTile, that's great. But I'll only believe it when I see it, which means I'm not going to pre-order the Galaxy Tuna and I most certainly won't buy it if I can see the PenTile matrix. Fuck that noise. PenTile is shit. Period.

and remember folks, the Galaxy Nexus has a higher pixel density than the Galaxy Note!
people don't have readability issues, some just don't like the text looking a bit jagged instead of smooth. the RGRB Pentile in the Super AMOLED looks a lot better than the RGBW Pentile used in other manufacturers LCD screens.RayStorm said:
That article can be found at:

They tested everything. Text at smaller sizes, everything.
Pentile honestly, should not have ever been used at low pixel densities. It seems to be fine at high pixel densities, but breaks down when used on low ppi displays. Scales up well though. Could use better white levels though compared to LCD.

Thanks. I thought this thing was going to be launched "RIGHT NOW!!" Instead, we have no official availability information. Weak.
I remember when the Nexus One was announced. I was able to purchase and bought it immediately.

agreed, does the new ios update do that as well out of curiosity? just find it annoying on both my phone (original droid) and my wifes (iphone4 on ios4). The one saving thing was i think the menu button brings up the address bar so that was at least not too bad.

I would play a really DOPE MMO on a cellphone. It would have to be really cool though. Like, better than WoW.

Yeah you'd just plug it in or carry an extra battery though. It should be fantasy space themed. Like if there was a mount that was like a blue whale that you could fly between different planetoids or something.

I was wondering about the green, too.. when you look at diagrams of pentiles upclose its the green pixels that are smallest. So why does that tint green when up close? Are there more of them?

That was the one, I think! When I was in the Verizon store last I was messing around with some Android phones, and that one stood out for how horrible the screen looked. Had that pentile effect going strong.

It says the Galaxy Nexus is 11/10-5/something. Does that mean Verizon's plan is to stop offering the phone in May 2012? or am I reading too much into that?
I have an upgrade option in June and I REALLY want a Nexus. I'd be pretty pissed if they stop offering it right before my upgrade. I'm hoping it will be down to $199 by then, or maybe even cheaper.
edit: It looks like the Thunderbolt and Incredible 2 are down to $150 now. Weren't those both $300 on contract when they first came out?

What's this pentile bs some of you guys are spewing? Is the equivalent to 30fps-60fps crap thats in the gaming section? Never heard of pentile or pixel density until recently. I doubt the average user would be able to tell the difference.

Anyone with an eye for quality silkscreens their business cards.

Perhaps it is. As in it's extremely noticeable to anyone with a decent set of eyes.

I have pretty good vision and don't notice the difference in fps. Maybe you have to be trained and what too look for. As far as displays I noticed how much better the colors looked on a friends S2 than my mytouch 4g, didnt get a microscope or anything to see if the letters were jagged or not.
Difference between 30fps and 60fps is very noticeable. Difference in clarity between the Galaxy S2 and iPhone 4, less so. The iPhone 4 (which is my own phone) is definitely a touch sharper, but this is sort of offset by the S2's better black levels, better colours and better overall size. I'd imagine it'll be similar with the Nexus Galaxy, more so because it's HD and has a higher dpi.

The S2 doesn't have a pentile display.
As far as not noticing framerates goes... thats crazy man.

In retail MAP refers to "Minimum Advertised Price" for the item. Basically, it means that if you want to advertise the item for sale, it has to be at that MAP price. Looks like VZW does MAP pricing for 6 months on their devices. They will still certainly sell the device after 6 months, but after that, retailers will be free to advertise it for whatever they want.Futureman said:
Online retailers, like Amazon, have you "Add to Cart to see price" to get around this. That way they can offer the phone for less than MAP...
Bionic - Still MAP locked

Thunderbolt - Not MAP locked

Ok seriously. I have never had an eye or ear for quality like some people but PenTile is noticeable on my Mom's Epic 4G. I love the screen, but I would call it more pixelated than even my Thunderbolt with the same resolution on a larger screen. I am honestly baffled that people cannot see it on the current Sammy 800x480 screens. It's just with the lighter text color though (titles of icons, settings menu, etc.)
That said, I think we'll be safe on the GN screen simply because of the higher density.

That should pretty much end that whole conversation right? Apples to Apples comparison of the GN and other phones without Pentile Screens. Same distances etc. Decide on your own.
So what does that proves???that iphone has more resolution???well that will end with galaxy nexus...

NO! Goddamn it Copernicus. You can't just say I'm falling off and cause me to question my entire reality and my place therein and then just reply with "exactly." Are you trying to put me in a mental institution?Copernicus said:
