nickname, 13 Jul 2014The S5 is probably the best smartphone available right now.Found that to be true!

Also you'll have to use same resolutions for both. Also think of the thickness of the panel.

    And can you tell me what advantage you'll get??? I can't think of any. Besides, IPS doesn't have any advantage over OLED so a simple OLED is the best.

    Anyway, kudos for the idea. I liked it.

What if instead of using a single WLED backlight for IPS LCD, you use an OLED display as the backlight? The OLED backlight could be simplified so it can only display white or black BUT it can switch this per pixel. Meaning you get all the beneifit of OLED in IPS. Except this would eat battery for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Unless a special OLED could be made just for the purpose which is much more efficient.

          iPhone 5s? LOL! I have enough of iPhone 4 and never will I go back to iPhone with ini mini tiny screen and 3 years behind the leading smartphones.
          Did anybody remember iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S?
          Even iPhone 5 nobody remember that basic phone.
          You want me to get lost while navigating on iPhone 5s?
          Never mind!

          Wahaha! What a suggestion?

              IPS is LCD panel while OLED is OLED. These 2 can't be together.

May be that is why price has dropped. Indian S5 (atleast one sold by flip kart) are made in Vietnam. Samsung also confirms that 5420 doesn't has HMP which is making difference in 5422 performance.

                If we are getting 5420 only, why not buy earlier models based on same chip or buy 5422 based models from europe.

                        I don't know why people complain when the price is expensive and when it drops they still complain.
                        Why? Are you lukewarm?

                          God knows what's your problem. One doesn't have to be a genius to comment here, does it?

                          I do not have an S5 at this moment, so my usage pattern is moot here. I had the phone, I didn't like TouchWiz, so I sold it! I'll buy again when the Google Play Edition gets released, probably. If you don't like the phone then there's really no point in coming here. I never go to Z2 or M8 forum!

                          I am replying because I don't have anything to do right now as it's Sunday. And I'll keep commenting here because I like to help newcomers, now if that makes me a genius then be it, I'm a genius, everyone who commenting here are.

                                    2. just like you, I am loaded enough to waste money behind these toys.
                                    3. for show off to friends
                                    4. and lastly for calling, texting, browsing internet, social media, sending photos, navigation and make my life easier with useful apps.
