DisplayMate has posted an analysis of the displays on the Apple iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S 4, and Samsung Galaxy S III.

Samsung's new Galaxy S 4 display is a major improvement over the Galaxy S III featuring full HD 1920x1080 resolution and 441 Pixels Per Inch. It is also better calibrated, brighter, and bigger.

The iPhone 5 uses a 4.0 inch IPS LCD with a resolution of 1136x640 resulting in 326 ppi.

Dr. Raymond Soneira, President of DisplayMate Technologies, executed numerous tests to assess screen reflections, brightness and contrast, colors and intensities, viewing angles, display power consumption, and more.

Soneira concludes:

The Galaxy S4 continues the rapid and impressive improvement in OLED displays and technology. The first notable OLED Smartphone, the Google Nexus One, came in decidedly last place in our 2010 Smartphone Display Shoot-Out. In a span of just three years OLED display technology is now challenging the performance of the best LCDs. Each have their own particular strengths and weaknesses, but if you scan our color coordinated Comparison Table, both displays and technologies perform quite well and look quite good and comparable overall – we’ll see how they both evolve and improve in the next generation, which we consider next…

You can see the test results at the link below...

Android problem is that it has to many security leaks! To use this for business is to risk.

Both phones are nice. They have their strengths and their weaknesses. The winner is clearly the company that sells the MOST phones. Apple.

Can you please bsckup your statement about apple sold most in cell phone? Because i can't believe you until you provide a link proving your statement.

TECH - April 27, 2013 at 4:53pm

Al Campa is almost right. You can google it. Apple selling iphone 5 while samsung selling 100s of models shows apple can really sell. If they come out with iphone in 8 different sizes like samsung than God knows how many more phones they will sell. Currently Apple sold more iphone 5s than Samsung sold s3.

5's not 5s

Despite all the progress that samsung is making, it still very wee in calibration according to iphone, and that is the most important issue in a touch screen device, so then, "Live iphone i am gonna stay apple oriented for ever and it really desrve"

I am happy with my iPhone 5 and its characteristics, is a matter of preference on phones with large screens or not.

Neil - April 26, 2013 at 7:38pm

What cause I think the galaxy s4 is better than the iphone 5 I'm not allowed to be here

TECH - April 27, 2013 at 4:57pm

You think it's better but its not. end of the day its plastic crap. HTC one is way better than s4. Oh camera features Samsung copied? they are from HTC also.

Spanky - April 26, 2013 at 3:15pm

Shouldn't it be 5S vs Galaxy 4??? You never see apple put their devices against old devices

neil - April 26, 2013 at 3:31pm

what like when they put there iphone 5 against a galaxy s3 which is older than a iphone 5

replyToMoron - April 26, 2013 at 3:37pm

Well the S3 and iPhone 5 came out the same year with few month difference so that is why they compare each other. The S4 is competing vs 5S.

neil - April 26, 2013 at 5:30pm

five months is more than a few
