                        [deleted post]Your facts.
                        Let me see, that's exactly why amoled is considered as the best screen to be used in every display,not just smartphones,right ?I'm not saying amoled is bad.
                        Movie mode,you said it has higher contrasts due to it being amoled.It's still unnatural as its amoled.
                        Why do you hate Apple after Samsung blatantly copied them,LG and Sony.

Did you see the review? And the tests? In movie mode it's color accuracy is amazing. But it's still Amoled so it still has contrasts and black. So way more natural.

                            And have you looked at contrast and blacks on LCD? That's unnatural. So by default neither screen can be considered natural. But Amoled has an option that makes it the closest thing possible. It's not a trick if it works.
                            Look at the gsmarena review. It's what caused me to test it out. Even skin tone is near perfect.

The old Samsung 7.0 tab had a flash and if it doesn't matter to you, at least to me, it matters a lot! We have different needs and Z Ultra isn't for me since Sony lacked some brain cells in that department. I love Sony too much that they made me disappointed by that thing they made with the device and they keep on delaying the Honami and now G2 is just around the corner ready to be released at anytime. Sony said they will have an event on 4th of July in Paris and up until now there's still no update with it?!

That's his bread and butter so just let him pass. :P

                                      In S4,dynamic mode,movie mode ,nothing is really natural,movie mode rgb adjustment is a software trick.
                                      Even Samsung will admit that amoled is unnatural,you are just saying anything to defend Samsung.

                                        LCD is just as unnatural as saturated Amoled. But even the S3 in it's natural mode is overall more natural, but not as accurate as the S4 display. S4 in movie mode is the most all around true to life and realistic you can get. Accurate colors and true blacks. Something LCD may never have. And it does great in sunlight. Amoled is actually less reflective. LCD's are just brighter. But S4 also goes 20-30% brighter in auto brightness than in maximum manual adjustment.
