How about '180 degree viewing angle', 'Quadrupling the resolution on the screen would only increase the clarity at most only three to five percent' and 'the Retina Display is too power-hungry, which drains the battery up to 30% faster than you’d find on their Super AMOLED screens'

Yes, lets all take a competitor's word at face value. And that clarity quote is complete bull, just look at a 3G and a 4G side by side. I like AMOLED screens, but the article is worthless.

How would one calculate clarity? It seems it would be a subjective measurement... maybe they're looking at the phones from 10 feet away?

I've not read that particular link but Samsung have made that only 5% better claim comparing the Retina screen to their slighly lower DPI Super-AMOLED screens. While it seems common to compare it only to the previous iPhone screens, they were no longer state of the art even before the new iPhone.

180 degree viewing angle on a flat surface--now that's magical!
