So you think your iPhone has a killer screen? Check THIS out!

We have a little something that we’re working on right now and we just couldn’t keep it all to ourselves. It’s a phone with a screen so gorgeous that it easily puts to shame the current best. Blacks are immensely deep, the colors are vivid and the viewing angles are mind-boggling. Here’s it compared to the iPhone 3G (both screens set at maximum brightness):

gsmarena 001 So you think your iPhone has a killer screen? Check THIS out!

We can’t tell you what phone it is just yet but it surely has one hell of a display. We haven’t seen anything like that.

Update: that’s actually the Samsung Wave display up there. You can check our full preview of the thing here here.

For the more inquisitive among you, we’ve got to point out that this shot hasn’t undergone any digital manipulation. The display performance of the newcomer is equally impressive under direct sunlight.

Unfortunately, we’ll have to keep silent on the identity of the phone for now as it should be announced at the MWC 2010 – the events starts on the 15 February and you can bet we’ll be there on location covering the latest and greatest.

      i think it’s really samsung phones with bada os. It’s just same like what they published last time about samsung bada’s interface. So, bada phone has one of the advantages from iphone with excellent display. Come on samsung! I bet this is just not the best thing about bada os!

      Just another never-learning Iphone die-hard who stumbled upon this article. Take a closer look at the picture dude!

    If I had to guess, I’d say at least it’s running Android, which means it’s either Samsung, Motorola or HTC.

    Looks like Samsung to me….the Communities icon gave it away.

    I have a Samsung I8910HD but went back to Nokia N97 cuz they dont update their software that often and not that many support.

    If the picture wasn t taken under angle, the difference would be much smaller

    @nowave7 I am pretty sure its not android, looks like samsung bada to me.

      That isn’t quite true actually. The difference in the contrast of the two screens is at least as big as the one in their viewing angles.

    • Jun 1st, 2010 14:35

      its samsung i9000 :)

    Samsung SHW-M100S with a 3.7″ AMOLED screen, Wi-Fi, GPS, T-DMB. Will be released soon.

      no way it a 3.7” ,it looks smaller than the iphone’s 3.5”

    SHW-M100S.

    You can see it on http://blog.gsmarena.com/mouthwatering-samsung-sch-m100s-revealed-runs-android-2-1/

    Even on those pictures you can easily see that this phone has insane contrast ratio… it is literally shining.

    • ryk
      Feb 4th, 2010 18:37

      No, its not. See the no. of icons in one row. This one has 3 only whereas Samsung SHW-M100S has 4.
      3 x 5

      Seems like a 16:9 display

      Its neither Nokia or WinMo. Neither HTC. Its definitely Samsung. The OS could be BADA, LiMo or Android.

      I bet its BADA. But it could very well be LiMo.

      And yes the screen size is 3.2″

      My apologies. Really isn’t M100S. But the colors of the screen and it’s contrast tricked me… I guess it is new generation of Samsung AMOLED screen. On both this one and M100S.

    This Phone is definitely samsung because of the user interface, compare it to the M100S that was just revealed, however i have noticed that this is not the M100S for several reasons 1) The Screen is a 3*3 Grid while in all pictures M100S runs on a 4*4 Grid 2) Screens to be smaller or equal to iphone which makes it a 3.5 incher while M100S is 3.7

    As to Identity of OS it remains a mystery , though icons look like that of android , it could be Bada , who knows.

    there is a lot of phones which have better screens than the iphone:
    Omnia HD, Google Nexus One, SE Xperia X10, maybe Motorola Milestone
    mp3’s:
    Sony Walkman X, Microsoft Zune HD, Samsung M1
    but people want iphone, cuz it’s apple, ipod. it’s all marketing
    and, i had all gen iphones, ipods touch in my hand, it’s really fast, smooth but Nexus One is the best(IMO)

    Feb 4th, 2010 18:37

    That is a samsung for sure. i own an Omnia HD i8910, and i can say the display is pretty close. i don`t have an iphone to compare, but trust me.

    I bet its the NEXUS ONE, was annouce at MWC … also has 3.7″ AMOLED n the icons seems to b Android :)

    I don`t know why the hell they compare it with the washed out low res iPhone display. Even my Moto Milestone display is way better, than the iPhone (also my old i8910). I surfed side by side with the Milestone and iPhone and it is like using a modern notebook and compare it to an old 800×600 notebook res display. So the iPhone is a great phone – but definitely not a reference point, when it comes to displays with 480 pixels…

      Surely the iPhone display might not have the best contrast or resolution in the world but as far as viewing angles are concerned it is one of the best we have ever seen.
