Samsung is scheduled to unveil the Galaxy S IV today, March 14th at a press event in New York City. The event can be watched live on YouTube at 7pm US EDT (10am Friday March 15 AEDT)
.
The Galaxy S2 had an amazing Super AMOLED Plus display. The S3 upped the screen size from 4.3-inches to 4.8-inches and the pixel density went from 217 to 306 to take a run at the iPhone’s Retina Display. But, Samsung also opted for a PenTile approach. What does that mean for the end user? Well, the screen looks great but you can make out pixels if you really, really strain. And some of the vivacity and colour saturation is lost. On the plus side, Samsung reckons the screen will last longer – but we’d rather see a much more S2-like screen with a sharper resolution – and given that’s now appeared on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, we’re pretty hopeful we’ll get it on the Samsung Galaxy S4 too.
