      Actually these test doesn't require in real life. This tests are totally useless. Who need the screen readability in high ambient light? SGS3 screen is clearly readable in sunlight with naked eyes. So who use such microscopic readability?

        i dont think anyone is gotta believe a LCD screen having better contrast than amoled screen.

        specially they confused OLED with AMOLED panel

              I think Iphone 5 has the same to Galaxy S2 because of same Dual core processor, and for god sake don't compare it to Galaxy S3 have a Quad core processor.

              please accept your product is very Low End rather than Samsung

                Anonymous, 26 Sep 2012here is the Pentile screen on Galaxy S3. Not as good as One... moreAnd?? that is on a microscopic level. You eye can't see that. So what is your point? To what the eye can perceive most will choose Amoled.

                    The last few lines of the article rightly states that it's personal preference and most people do prefer higher saturated images than normal as the vibrant colours are more pleasing to the eye. And Samsung Galaxy S3 has 4 screen options: Dynamic, Standard, Natural, Movie... take your pic(more than what iphone can offer)

That's funny considering before this bogus review S3 was placed at best under sunlight save for some special screens not included in the review. And anyone who has used Amoleds knows they are fantastic in the sunlight
