                        mavsaurabh, 04 Jun 2014i just read comments . i wish to clarify some doubts and/o... moreThat's extremely true.
                        Z2 screen has more accurate colors than s5. That's obvious. Everybody can see it and realize it.
                        Some tech sites like displaymate has said that s5 has best color accuracy, mostly by measuring white color accuracy in cinema mode. but there are many other colors. LCDs Are Made to show accurate colors. Amoleds are still over saturated, So they don't show colors correctly.
                        It's needed to mention that Z2 covers 130% of SRGB, while s5 covers just 107% of SRGB.
                        Z2 has more accurate colors. Not that s5 screen is bad, it's still perfect.
                        And one thing that should be mentioned is that Z2 has an option to change white color tone. While s5 has just three or four modes, Z2's screen can be calibrated to show colors what you want in the whole SRGB span, for example put set "Green" to 45 percent or... .

                                facepalm. I all answered. Just admit that you're wrong. It's obvious
                                "-what u answered in TV .. ? im telling OLED is not mature enough .. IPS is proven technology which even graphics designers use .. also its 1 pixel means RGB not like samsung with 3pixel = 1RGB"
                                pentail only in samsung smartphones
                                also at 400ppi it is not visible
                                It's obvious. OLED much better. All normal people will say this to you
