Don't know if this is the right place to post this, but my question was regarding displays. If you have two screen sizes let's say one is 5" and the other at 10", both with the exact same ppi and screen technology will both images look equally as good?
Lastly I own a Samsung galaxy tab s2 8.0 which has a ppi of 320 with a quad hd screen, whereas the Samsung galaxy s7 is also a quad hd screen with a ppi count of 557. Does this mean since the s7 has a higher ppi count if I was to watch the same video on both devices at 2k the s7 would look better due to its higher pixel count? Thanks
It can be a bit confusing so this may help.
http://www.knowyourmobile.com/makes/20613/pixels-inch-ppi-what-it-means-and-how-its-calculated
Basically if both devices are the same size screen, the the one with the higher PPI will have the better resolution.
If both screens have the same quoted resolution and one is 10" and one is 5" then the smaller screen will have higher pixel density and perceived better resolution.
Cheers

Well technically both the phones are same on the inside.
Samsung Galaxy Note – Dual Core 1.4 Ghz ARM Cortex A9 processor - Exynos
Samsung Galaxy S II – Dual core 1.2 Ghz ARM Cortex A9 processor - Exynos
Both the phone gets graphical acceleration through the Mali 400 MP GPU.
The difference is the screen size.
Samsung Galaxy Note – 5.3 inches Super AMOLED Capacitive touchscreen display
Samsung Galaxy S II – 4.3 inches Super AMOLED Capacitive touchscreen display
The Samsung Galaxy S II is powered with Li-ion 1650 mAh battery while Note is powered with standard Li-ion 2500 mAh battery.
So make you choice if you want and can be comfortable with the large screen size to handle.
Personally i love the screen and size of it
Edit: And yeah you have the stylus and the higher resolution (HD) screen apart from the size.
Cheers!
Hit thanks if it helped!
You forgot that the Note has a beautiful HD screen, while the gs2 is slightly above VGA. The note also has a stylus, which is super useful when you need it. But the screen is so superior you just have to get the Note.

I moved from S2 to a Note, and I'm really glad I did - mainly because of the fantastic screen, which makes it much nicer to do any kind of writing based work. Was out last night and a girl with an S2 said, "I WANT YOUR PHONE!" Lol.

i will recommend u to buy S2.
nut also see the user rewiews abt each phone.
they might help u a lot
Galaxy S2. Why?
Galaxy S2 has a Faster CPU
Dual Core Exynos 1.2ghz is A LOT faster than Dual Core 1.2ghz TI OMAP 4460
Galaxy S2 has a Faster GPU
Not only the Galaxy Nexus has a slower/older GPU, but it is a slower GPU on a device with a lot more pixels. Bad combo. Expect noticeable difference on any moderate GPU intensive app. People are saying how the Galaxy Nexus runs graphic tests slowly because it is not optimized. This is true. Keep in mind that pretty much the Galaxy Nexus is the only phone with 1280 x 720 resolution right now, and the apps, to get the full potential of the screen will have to be optimized. Realistically all apps will not be optimized at first for the Galaxy Nexus. And slowly they might become optimized. And some may never be optimized because it is up to the developer. Also, after optimization, remember it has more pixels to process with slower hardware than the Galaxy S2.
Galaxy S2 has a better rear Camera
8MP > 5MP
Sure it is not all about megapixels, but did anyone say 8MP on the S2 was bad? Not at all, it is fantastic. 5MP sensor on the Galaxy Nexus might be a great sensor but it is a downgrade in image quality from the 8MP galaxy S2 sensor. I'm sure the Galaxy Nexus 5MP sensor is better than a lot of other 8MP sensors out there though.
Galaxy S2 has a better front facing camera
From my personal experience 1.3MP front facing cameras on the older Samsung Galaxy S has been one of the most unimpressive cameras I've ever encountered. Galaxy Nexus is most likely using the same 1.3MP camera. I can say that the Galaxy S2 front facing camera is a lot better than the older Galaxy S front facing camera by using the mirror feature on the OS.
Galaxy S2 has Super AMOLED Plus (Better than Super AMOLED (Pentile) on the Galaxy Nexus)
Might be less important because of pixel density, but take it from a user who has used a Galaxy U (a Galaxy S with a higher pixel density because of the smaller 3.7" screen...~252 PPI) and used it for a whole year. You would think with a higher pixel density like that you can't see the checkerboard pattern? Wrong, it is visible. Clearly visible when white lines are visible on the black background. Are there white lines common on black background on android devices? Duh! But you'll get used to it like you get used to scratches on your glasses. Maybe ICS will mask the ugliness with the blue glow.
Galaxy S2 has microSDHC (comfirmed to be compatible with microSDXC) slot while Galaxy Nexus has none.
So right now, you can put an additional 64GB card on the Galaxy S2 on top of the 16GB. The Galaxy Nexus will be locked to 16 or 32GB. Galaxy S2 might one day support up to 2TB, but more realistically, people will be carrying 128GB and 256GB cards during the lifecycle of the Galaxy S2 device.
Galaxy S2 has been announced to get Ice Cream Sandwich Android OS 4.0 update.
Sure if you get the Galaxy Nexus, you can have ICS for 6 months maybe. But is it worth the sacrifice of hardware? Software you can upgrade. Hardware cannot be changed.
Galaxy S2 has native DviX/XviD/MKV support. On Galaxy Nexus you will need to do software decoding which is much slower. A lot of times the HD videos are too slow for watching videos.
The Galaxy Nexus will be able to play 1080p h264 files, but it will certainly not be able to play any 1080p mkv or divxes like the Galaxy S2.
Advantages of Galaxy Nexus
Galaxy Nexus has a bigger screen. I hear it is awesome by all accounts.
Galaxy Nexus has a much higher resolution
I bet people are drooling with the thoughts of watching 720p videos natively on the device. But they are forgetting that it has to be encoded in h264. So basically you have to shoot the video yourself, or encode it yourself because 720p h264 is not as popular of a format than 720p and 1080p mkv files that Galaxy Nexus doesn't support. This will be a serious letdown for many thinking they can just download any HD content and watch it on their device.
Galaxy Nexus has a lag free camera
A lot of people are speculating ICS 4.0 will bring a lag free/near lag free camera to a lot of devices. So this may be only a short lived advantage, just like ICS being a reason to buy a Galaxy Nexus.
good and long explanation definitely desreved a thanks!

but the s2 may lose many devs due to moving to s3 right soo i'm a little afraid of also buying an s2 maybe it'll lose support from devs in a span of a year

Umm..well I don't think so it will ever lose support 'because it's an evergreen phone..
S3 doesn't need any development in my opinion
SGII will keep getting plenty of attention, just compare XDA activity for something like HTC Amaze or Motorola Atrix.

Hi all,
Currently I have the Tab Pro 8.4, and have the chance to return it to the shop and buy the Tab S 8.4 for £40 extra.
However, after playing with the Tab S in the shop and reading reviews online, I do have some pros and cons of “upgrading” from the Tab Pro the Tab S I hope forum members can help me with.
The Screen on the Tab S is great for watch YouTube and Netflix which is what I do most of the time on the tablet. However, I also take the tablet on holiday with me to review pictures taken with camera and watch media under direct sun light. The lower brightness of the Tab S and the cartoonish look of the screen makes it not as good as the Tab Pro.
The Snapdragon 800 in the Tab Pro seems to be faster compared to the Samsung SOC in the Tab S according to reviews. The Snapdragon 800 also looks to have a major advantages when comes to graphic performance. This is important to me as I use the tablet to play graphic intensive games such as GTA, N.O.V.A and large RPG games.
The other advantages the Tab S have such as finger scan, smaller, lighter body and 1GB of extra RAM are not a major concern to me.
So, are there any Tab Pro users changed to Tab S and are happy with the screen and graphic provenance?
Many thanks

If you set the Display Mode to Cinema you lose the overblown cartoonish look. Reds become more red and less orange.
Or set it to "Basic" for more natural look.
The screen looks dark and reddish compared with my Note 8.
I love having a choice with "Adaptive Display"
After reading your title I thought you at least needed a video comparison

Had some time to go back to the dealer and spend some time with the Tab Pro 8.4 and after some comparison I feel the Tab S is the better device. There is little doubt that the super amoled on the Tab S is superior, the screen on the Tab Pro seems like just another LCD screen. I thought I could make the pixels out more easily on the Tab Pro, where with the Tab S you cannot see any pixels without a magnifier. My main interest in looking at the Tab Pro is that I thought the lower contrast on the screen might be better for watching video, but after using it for a bit I don't think it's superior at all.
Another issue is the thinner Tab S seems like a much more modern device, even though the difference is less than 1 mm. There is something about that fake leather look on the Tab Pro that makes it look very dated.
Anyways in my case I will be keeping the Tab S.
I only wish that they kept the Snapdragon but I assume when development kicks off we will enjoy possible overclocking of all 8 cores.

Since I use the Samsung book cover on my 10.5 I had almost forgotten how incredibly thin and light this device is naked. Any lighter and it would actually be difficult to maintain a firm grip on it.
P. S. Once it's broken in a bit the cover is much easier to take on an off than the first time.

That is some juicy display pr0n.
This is a beast :good:
So it'll be better then my S3? You're killing me Samsung, I can't wait to pick this phone up!
750 nits? Unbelievable
Just to sweeten the deal for people just scanning this thread; the full conclusion quote is pretty awesome:
"
the Galaxy Note 4 is the Best performing Smartphone display that we have ever tested.
It matches or breaks new records in Smartphone display performance for:
Highest Absolute Color Accuracy,
Highest Screen Resolution,
Infinite Contrast Ratio,
Highest Peak Brightness,
Highest Contrast Rating in Ambient Light,
Brightness Variation with Viewing Angle.
Its Color Management capability provides multiple Color Gamuts – a major advantage that is not currently provided by any of the other leading Smartphones. The Galaxy Note 4 delivers uniformly consistent all around Top Tier display performance: it is the first Smartphone display to ever get all Green (Very Good to Excellent) Ratings in all test and measurement categories (except one Yellow for a Brightness Variation with Average Picture Level) since we started the Display Technology Shoot-Out article Series in 2006, an impressive achievement for a display.
The Galaxy Note 4 has again raised the bar for top display performance up by another notch.

hi all,
i have a 10" galaxy tab pro that still works but is starting to feel to dated.
looking for a replacement and these 2 seem like the best options now.
the s2 was pricier but it's older and the prices currently are close (at least in europe) to the ones of the zenpad.
so which do you think is a better option?
I would recommend the Zenpad 3s 10 for the bigger battery, better price, quick charge 3.0, the fact that it will get Android 7.0 for sure and the 1GB of ram in favor. The only downsize if you ask me is the more 100 grams of weight and maybe the fact that the tab s2 has super amoled. Do let us know what you've got
some good points there. thanks.
the price doesn't apply to where i live tho, both cost around the same here now.
but the specs look a bit better, the screen on the asus is not amoled but looks pretty good too. thanks.
Buy an second hand/reconditioned S1 10.5" all the rest are INFERIOR
John.
i would agree with you regarding the aspect ratio, i much prefer a wide screen 16:9 or similar. But the S1 is also already too dated (almost the same as my old tabpro, it just has more ram and amoled instead of ips screen).
Unfortunately all newer tablets are have ipad aspect ratio that sucks for media consumption

Please don't go for that Zenpad 3s 10.
I was in the same situation as you 2 months back and purchased the tablet form Amazon. The tablet is only good in paper compared to tab s2. Poor display and poor graphics quality in games. I only play a few games and they stuttered big time. And the battery life is actually quite worse than tab s2. I returned the tablet to Amazon by paying the return shipping myself.
I bought a used tab s2 after that, and this is a much superior tablet despite what the spec comparison would suggest to you.
Tab s2 would be better. Like other said these specs are good on paper not to mention you will most likely end up with mtk processor which isnt as popular as snapdragon or exynos. Plus you can see tab s2 has some community development at-least.
Thanks for the help. Went ahead with the tsb s2 and im happy so far
