Display
The Moto X is rocking a 4.7″ AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1280 x 720 and a pixel density of 312PPI. In simple terms, it will give you the same quality of the iPhone 5′s retina display (326PPI). Anything above 300ppi is said to be sufficient. As expected the screen is made of the ever so dependable Gorilla Glass whilst there's a nanotechnological waterproof coating both inside and out of the Moto X, making it water repellent in theory. One of the Moto X's most unique features is called Active Display. Whenever your screen is turned off, it pulses your notifications on the otherwise black screen. If you want to see a little more, just hold your finger on the notification icon.
A comprehensive report by player DisplayMate Technologies has declared that the new Samsung Galaxy S5 has "the best performing smartphone display that we have ever tested" based on its extensive lab tests. Notably the Galaxy S5 features a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display with a 1080x1920 pixel full-HD resolution. DisplayMate has detailed the long list of new records which includes "highest brightness, lowest reflectance, highest colour accuracy, infinite contrast ratio, highest contrast rating in ambient light, and smallest brightness variation with viewing angle." DisplayMate says the AMOLED display on the Galaxy S5 performs better in outdoor lighting than any device it has yet tested. The Galaxy S5's display is said to be brighter than its predecessor the Galaxy S4's (by 22 percent) display. It is the most accurate display ever tested on a smartphone or tablet when in Cinema mode, the report said.
