The display of the Galaxy Note 3 is PenTile, but does it matter anymore? Sep 19th 2013, 13:08, by Bogdan Petrovan The Galaxy Note 3 is one of the most exciting devices of the season, thanks to its great design and hardware, but also to its expansive 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display. Whenever it comes to Samsung phones though, there's one question that people regularly ask: is the display PenTile or RGB? We explained the difference between the PenTile and RGB subpixel arrangements many times, so we won't rehash it here. If you're interested in an in-depth explanation, check out our Note 2 vs Galaxy S3 display comparison. The Galaxy Note 2 featured an RGB display, while for the Galaxy S4, Samsung opted for a PenTile arrangement with diamond-shaped subpixels. There was a bit of confusion about the display of the new Galaxy Note 3, but Samsung cleared it when it confirmed to AppDated that the Note features the same display technology as the Galaxy S4.

Notice the larger, diamond-shaped red and blue pixels Early generations of PenTile displays suffered from a certain jaggedness that some users observed around fine graphic elements such as text and icons. Experts panned the display of the Galaxy S3 for this reason.

These close-up shots of the displays of the Note 3, Galaxy S4, and the Note 2 illustrate this point very well. Notice how there’s no blurriness around the text on the Galaxy Note 3 or Galaxy S4.

When it comes to the actual user experience though, the difference becomes unnoticeable.
