What customers say about "Display"
Samsung Galaxy A5 (SM-A500FZKUBTU) SIM-Free Smartphone - Black
- The screen is massive which is great for streaming video.
- Great screen size and yet the phone is physically compact.
- Slim, sleek white metal design with good camera and good size screen.
- The screen has much nicer colors and wider viewing angles than all LCD IPS based screens.
- The screen resolution is lower 1280x720 and because it's AMOLED so black really means black, as in not lit, as in virtually no power draw.
Samsung Galaxy J5 (SM-J530F) (2017) 16GB SIM-Free Smartphone - Black
- Call quality is very clear , phone display is clear and bright.
- The phone has good aesthetic qualities and the screen layout is very clean.
