Samsung on the Retina Display
A spokesperson for Samsung Mobile Display said that the Retina display offers higher resolution than super AM OLED, but insisted the difference is small. […] “The visibility difference is only 3 to 5 percent. But raising resolution to that level increases battery consumption by 30 percent,” he told The Korea Herald.
A perfect illustration of the tech industry’s misguided obsession with numbers. What in the world does “a visibility difference of 3 to 5 percent” actually mean?
