It's 5.7 inches in size and uses Super AMOLED technology, which will be interesting from both a power consumption and
subpixel matrix perspective.
Not exact matches
The
matrix used in such AMOLED displays has limited colour accuracy due to the «PenTile

subpixels and alternating red and blue
subpixels.
This is not a PenTile display as each pixel uses three

subpixels arrangement.
Our only real display gripe has to do with the PenTile
matrix pattern — the jagged edges visible in certain fonts and UI elements due to the irregular
subpixel pattern being used.
