Google Nexus S

AMOLED displays have rich, intense color. They also have lower power consumption, important in a battery-powered device, because light is only emitted when pixels are lit up (unlike an LCD where the backlight is constantly glowing).

However, LCDs can have an advantage when viewed in direct sunlight. Sunshine can leave an AMOLED display looking “washed out” or unreadable. It’s possible to put a transmissive-reflective layer (“transflective”) behind an LCD so that some of the incident sunlight is reflected back through the LCD. A transflective LCD remains readable in bright sunshine, although much of the color detail is lost.

In practice, modern AMOLED displays and LCDs can both perform impressively well, and in many cases the purchase decision will be driven by factors other than the display technology.


sorry sorry is SLCD
not LCD sorry sorry wrong liao

Outdated info liao....SAMOLED performs much better in daylight.

Yes, pentile matrix at work here. Very important if one likes to put his eyes very close to the screen when using.

Thanks guys for the detail information.

I can't find my serial #. Or the serial # doesn't show I902x.
However, I can find under "About Phone" the baseband version which is I9020XXJK8. So that makes mine a SAMOLED?
It's still worth the while getting it overseas then.

Can someone verify by checking out a local SLCD set ?

And yes, the screen smiles at me

My friend and me get full-body protector through mail order from Clear-coat. Works pretty well. And they claim life-time warranty, ie if the protector peels, tear it off and exchange for a new one.

FYI, I used BestSkinsEver before on my Nexus One. Clear-coat is thinner (better) but more expensive.

You got Voodoo control panel, and you don't want to use and tweak. Tweak until see no yellow lah.

ya, you googled AMOLED when you should have been googling super AMOLED, which is the panel Nexus S is using. SAMOLED has already negate the flaws of the AMOLED panel.
