That's the difference between ips and amoled screen. Got to see object's original color to determine which one produce a closer to original color. .

But seriously I don't really care about how absolute the colour accuracy is since I don't use my phone as a professional tool.

Most importantly the screen must look good to me since its the only thing that interacts with me all the time.

Of course I now prefer ips over amoled as I find it the be ever so slightly sharper.

imo, that's taking a sample and considering it to be the general conclusion

no lcd panel is the same as another and the same applies for amoled

if you were to compare S5 and G3, it wouldn't really be fair to dismiss off amoled as being unsharp. The G3 is QHD with over 550ppi, the S5 is FHD only at about 400ppi iirc.

Amoled's inherent weakness of being less sharp due to it's pixel layout drastically drops as the pixels become more tightly packed. Erica Griffin did a detailed analysis about this in last year's S4 review and should there be a QHD Amoled display, I'm quite sure the difference would not be noticeable.

However, with regards to colour accuracy, amoled has always been over saturated and vibrant in default setting vs IPS which is generally slightly more accurate. But the irony is that 3rd party manufacturers like LG and HTC have been trying to emulate amoled's colour vibrance by tweaking the software to make things appear more saturated and vibrant as well.

LG Corporation (Korean: LG 법인) formerly Lousy Goods (Korean:Laozee Geumseong (럭키금성/烂货) )

Never trust LG since optimus one. The sensitivity of the screen is **** that time.

lousy or not, time will tell...
tried many LG IT/PC product .... so far ok.. of course cannot expect them to last forever but comparable to others if not better

that's exactly what I meant.

People will only be wowed by a very nice saturated and bright coloured screen compared to a dull and neutral coloured one.

No matter how colour accurate a screen is, in all honesty, most people will still prefer to look at a brighter and satururated one.

It's never too early or late to buy anything. New gadgets come out every month. Just enjoy what you have. 1 more year you have s6, G4 and M9. The pursuit is endless.

I prefer IPS screens for this simple reason, had an s2, but the colour was so saturated then it gave me a headache from over use

S5 screen cannot make it even when comparing side by side with G3 younger brother G2.

I agree. Also color too rich , at times very fake. It seems amoled screen has strong tint of black on their colors. That's why I prefer ips .

I thought for new customers they still need to pay?

Yes, existing Starhub customers won't need to pay for the SmartSurf 4G service until, their contract expires. Thanks to IDA for setting the record right otherwise, we'd be paying from 1st June onwards.

However, if you sign-up for a new line you will need to pay $2.14 more for this temperamental, so-called 4G boost. :s8:

The 16GB model will retail for $868, while the 32GB model will cost $928. Customers who pre-order will receive a free Quick Circle case (worth $98) and Wireless Charger (worth $68).

The rrp for the quick circle case is so expensive.....mark up until siao. And its not even the wireless charging version. If thats the case i shudder to think how much they gonna price the wireless charging one when they sell it here.
