"The Samsung AMOLED panels have been improving at a great pace with each new generation and this latest effort is further proof of that. Giving you a choice between saturation and accuracy, and comfortably beating its rivals at either end is an impressive achievement, but with the inherent AMOLED strengths in the equation, you get arguably the most impressive screen in the market"

    Go read the Samsung S3, Note 3, S4, Note 4, S5, S6 and S7 display sections in the reviews.
    GSMarena always said they were the best displays on the market.

    1st all LCD fans said LCD was better than AMOLED with burn in and now Apple and Sony are finally switching to AMOLED and all LCD fans best excuse you can come out with is Samsung use an inferior tech but when Sony and Apple will use they will use better??

    Better tech than the company that produces more of them than anyone else on the planet?? The company has been pushing them out for the last 4-5 years they have more experience with those screens on mobile devices for years than anyone.

                    Please give us 'Super AMOLED' instead of Samsung AMOLED pentile Matrix which we know its inferior and cost saving measure.

                              Anonymous, 12 Jan 2017bla bla bla sony always late.Sony isn't late, in fact 2007 was when Sony launched its first OLED TV for sale, long before Samsung and LG. Now is the perfect time to enter the OLED TV market because most issues in 2016 and 2015 OLED tech have been reduced/eliminated.

                                It will be using Sony's own OLED panels through its JDI joint venture with Panasonic, NOT Samsung or LG panels.

                                  LG panels are better than samsung pentile oled. xperia flagship will be released in H2 2017 since jdi just started making oled amd oled is harder to make than lcd

                                    It would be mind blowing if sony should transfer their acoustic surface technology seen in their A1e oled tv to their upcoming oled smart phones.
