What I'd like to see is this exact analysis done to the S III, even just to have some no bullshit data when the 'my phone is better than your phone' comes up again.
I don't see the point of submitting this to HN. It isn't a review of all high-end device displays, or something else generic like that.
Also see http://prometheus.med.utah.edu/~bwjones/2012/09/iphone-5-dis... that shows the boost in saturation even more clearly. Though, I'm not sure if it's such a good thing (might be a little too saturated for all I know, but probably isn't). (via daringfireball.net/linked/2012/09/25/iphone-5-vs-4s-display)

Talking purely from a consumer perspective, you want to argue that one phone reproduces accurately the full RGB spectrum and another blows it out of proportion and that makes one phone better? Isn't that a matter of subjective taste? How does that make one phone better than another? For eg. I may like to turn the color all the way up on my TV. That doesn't mean my TV's picture is objectively bad or the other way arou…
With monitors and displays this isn't as big of a deal, as you can adjust it yourself to what you want, but with smartphones and tablets there are few or no adjustments available so if you receive a display that is purposely over-saturated, you are stuck with that. Perhaps it catches eyeballs in the store and gets you more sales, but it also means you are stuck with it. If a company isn't going to provide a way to adjust the display (such as including presets that are calibrated, vivid, and so on) then I'd prefer they just ship something that tries to conform to the standards that exist (sRGB or AdobeRGB in these cases).

Not the same analysis, but a technical comparison anyway: http://www.displaymate.com/Smartphone_ShootOut_2.htm Not that I think a display being numerically slightly better than the other removes the bullshit from “my phone is better than yours” conversations. I still find PenTile unsightly though.
