Can the Iphone get Exynos SOC with S-amoled display?

Can apple make their Iphones with Exynos SOC and have retina display with Super Amoled plus tech?


IT would be a beast!

? Apple designs their own SOCs. Their A5 uses the same CPU cores that Exynos uses (although Apple clocks it lower to save power). A5's GPU is about twice as powerful as the one Exynos uses. In other words, Exynos would be a pretty big downgrade from the A5 they're using right now.

As far as SAMOLED, Apple could someday decide to buy SAMOLED screens from Samsung. I wouldn't count on it any time soon, though, since Apple doesn't have the greatest relationship with Samsung at the moment.

no never going to happen. Sorry.
A5 is really good SOC though...nothing wrong with it...

How come the colors are undersaturated in the Iphone?

They aren't, the colors are oversaturated on a SAMOLED. I have a Samsung Fascinate and the contrast is beautiful, but the colors are admittedly somewhat oversaturated.

Doubt Apple will use AMOLED until it is usable outdoors.

No, he is right the colors on the iPhone 4 and 4s are as under saturated as the ones on Super AMOLED screens are over saturated. If your goal is accurate colors you shouldn't be looking at an iPhone.

A few things wrong with this...

Exynos is made by Samsung, Apple designs their own SOC
SAMOLED is tech by Samsung not Apple
There isn't a SAMOLED retina screen in existence, only pentile.

Is retina screen a specific technology or is it a coined term for "pixels so small I can't see them with the naked eye?"

Retina is basically whatever specs apples devices happen to have at that given time.

This. Apple changes the definition of retina display around

The definition doesn't change, blogs misreport it. It's not "300 PPI", it's "300 PPI at 12" inches".

 

[dguy6789]

PPI is a straight up measurement that has nothing to do with screen size. 300PPI is the same on a 3 inch screen or a 300 inch screen.

Galaxy Note is 5.3in@1280x800, which is 285 PPI, but its still Pentile. Looks fantastic though. Galaxy Tab 7.7, if the damn thing ever actually arrives, is 1280x800 and SAMOLED Plus. Its pretty much a Retina display.

Is retina screen a specific technology or is it a coined term for "pixels so small I can't see them with the naked eye?"

Its a marketing term for a high resolution display relative to screen size. It was one of 2011's major buzz words that got everyone talking and demanding it.

That depends on which display the iPhone's got. Generally, if you are lucky, you land a display that was manufactured by Samsung, and color accuracy is pretty spot on.

If you land a Sharp or LG display, it can rage from washed out to pretty good pretty wildly depending on what is on the screen.

Apple made it up. The point is there isn't an oled that's really high dpi unless it's pentile. Even the supposed 1600p Samsung tablet is pentile.

you mis understand.
By "at 12 inches" he means "viewed from 12 inches" ie 12 inches away from face.

it's some metric of arcseconds per pixel or something
