Apple claims iPhone 5 has most advanced display, conveniently forgets the superior display in Nokia Lumia 920
An interesting article over at geek.com (obtained from wpcentral forums). There’s a screenshot of the new iPhone saying it’s the world’s most advanced display. It’s normally fine when Apple says ‘Our’ in front of it, as that’s enough to fool some people that it encompasses all, but not enough to be misleading. This one however clearly indicates it’s talking about displays from other manufacturers.
What makes the Lumia’s screen better than the iPhone 5 screen?
- Bigger (if you prefer bigger, some don’t. But iPhone’s new selling point is that it has a bigger display, therefore if bigger is an improvement, 920 hellooow?)
- More pixels!
- Higher pixel density (this is what Retina Display was all about. And now it’s not higher than the 920)
- Some kind of clear black for better outdoor visibility
- PUREMOTION HD+ for a really responsive display
- SUPER SENSITIVE DISPLAY - use fingernails, gloves, pens, a spatula, whatever it seems because that’s how sensitive the screen on the Lumia is. iPhone says what?
Despite all of that, Apple says their screen is more advanced. Geek.com explains that is because Apple display focused on ‘ color saturation and the integrated touch’. Geek.com does not believe that is enough to make such claims of having the most advanced display.

are they ***** kidding us :O
because very few know a lumia 920 exists. the iphone 5 overshadowed the lumia 920 on their announcement last week. every one now forgets the lumia 920. all eyes are on the iphone 5.
but it’ll last only for few days or weeks… I can see my twitter already flooding up with people unhappy with the apple maps, after a while when all the rant and the buzz around it settles, nokia may come out with the pricing and the release date i guess
yeah iOS6 maps are a bloody joke lol Apple should have just continued to license from google until theirs was ready or switch to nokia maps
Because the Lumia 920 DOESN’T exist yet in terms of a released product. That’s the problem with not having the software ready when the hardware is done.
HTC has release dates, Nokia doesn’t. That would seem that the software’s done, but Nokia isn’t sure about the hardware.
no iphone is hitting on the market in a couple of days…..
that is the reason ….
Apple has started several trends that others mindlessly follow, consumers and competitors alike. The idiots at Nokia and HTC has decided that phones shouldn’t have expandable memory, swappable batteries, the more it weighs the better, the bigger the better, and standard ports like MHL is nice to have but not a must. Only Samsung has some principles these days to include expansion, but their design puts me off.
If Sony puts WP8 (with Nokia offline Maps) into an Xperia SX body, I’d buy that in a second.
I doubt Nokia has the clear vision or manufacturing ability to put WP8 into a Nokia 700 form factor (Lumia 720?) with MicroSDXC and removable batteries. They probably just follow Apple and strip out features Nokia fans want, and on their own whim replace it with bloat that nobody asked for.
185 grams… it’s like prattling on about how great your wunderphone is… but oops: it costs 1000 Euros we hope you don’t mind
The Nokia 820 has SD expansion and a removable battery. And with an optional rear cover, you also get NFC. And of course, there is that Super Sensitive Screen with higher pixel density than an iPhone5.
I’m right with you, but in my humble opinion, a datasheet doesn’t make a “Flagship device”. It’s the packing. Super Sensitive Touch paired with the oppurtunity to take superior photos without using a three-leg-stand.
To be honest – at times of N8, N9 and Lumia 8/900 – some of “us” laughed at the Tech-Hurry of Samsung… and now?

You’re fluent in English. I live in Australia and your English is better than mine.
Yeah but you’re Ostrayian (& so am I)!
Understood him though, was no worse than someone who’s fluent but who’s rushing their typing a little bit
Always nice to read your comments, Laborant…
iphone 5 es una mierda
Apple also says that iOS is the most advanced mobile operating system, to me it only makes me laugh because Apple likes to joke around!
yet apple sells its products like crazy!
fanboyism is greater than sense these days 
Better (on paper) products are not always the better seller. Apple have very wisely managed their image first to the point it doesn’t really matter what they produce.
yeah, exactly… I wonder how the quality of Apple’s innovation would be in the near future…! And the only thing i fear which will be superior with the 8x/s would be the sound quality, other than that 920 beats everything else handsdown, people need to open their eyes towards true innovation.
The mention of the most advance screen was not about resolution, but the ability to reduce the thickness of the screen to make the phone thinner and lighter. I think you got the wrong point.
Of course it was deliberately misleading, how naive can you be! It’s about marketing. They could easily have said:
“The thinnest display with In-Cell sensor technology”
but of course that doesn’t as sound as good as
“The World’s Most Advanced…”
Marketing, simple… Could Nokia have said “The World’s Most Advanced Display technology”, YES of course, and they could equally justify it. But Nokia have a sh*t marketing team.
Better on paper products are not always better. Symbian beat iOS and Android on paper, loads of more features, cheaper. But it is not only about features. Ecosystem and user experience count and can’t easily be quantified on paper.
I beg to disagree with the suggestion that it does not matter what Apple produces. It does, not everything they sell is a hit, far from it. But they don’t need to be perfect, when the whole is good enough.
Maps is a step back, but it will get better after the croudsourcing it will get after few hundred million people start using it. It will likely take a year or two to reach the quality of previous Google maps everywhere. The most important markets will be fixed sooner.
if apple put apple logo on brick and claim this is most advance brick in the world people will believe..
I will build an iHouse from these to keep all my precious iThings in. Where can I but these iBricks? Do they come in ‘brick colours’?
Hey I don’t care anyway, why would anyone want to build a house that wasn’t either black or white, duh?
I don’t mean to defend Apple in any way (I am a Lumia 900 owner) but given that iPhone is going on sale tomorrow and 920 date wasn’t even announced, that does make iPhone 5′s display most advanced currently available, that is until 920 ships of course.
i guess this pov is right…! Unfortunately.
Totally fair comment. But at the time of announcement, iPhone wasn’t available either.
But yeah, little things like this, not completely honest but they would have gotten away with it by mentioning little key things like “currently available”.
htc just announced their pre order price of 8s and 8x.
Times are changing Jay people are not going to be fooled by apple marketing which runs the brain wash and propoganda campaigns. People are looking at what Nokia is offering, the real innovations.
What happened to th e retina display with pure motion HD+ we have solved sobmany real life issues rather than just increasing the pixel density. Look at clear black display its a genuine solution to real problem that u and me and ppl like us face every day. This is Nokia.
U talked abt putting the apple logo… No sir times have changed there was atime when anything Nokia willsell… Its not now same witn apple u got to innovate else u perish.. Not every one is talented and gifted like Nokia who can reinvent tnemselves and comeback again.
I for one believe that you shouldn’t make statements about being the “best” at anything until your device is actually for sale.
That goes for apple and nokia.
Hopefully MS and nokia will get the 920 to the market soon and i’m sure then we will be blessed with about a billion IP5 to 920 comparison reviews.
If nokia wants to fight back, maybe they should give us a release date and say “we will see who’s better on xx/xx/2012″
Well let them have that title until 920 actually ships
And the world’s longest Face Palm award goes to……The Apple development team! When they saw the specs of the already released Samsung GS3 months before the new iPhlop 5 was even released, it must have been shattering to know that they’re still months away from releasing a product that already feels dated before it hits the shelf. Lets face it, Apple have always been 2 steps behind as far as hardware goes, they market their products to the IT illiterate with marketing strategies like I’m a Mac and You’re a PC, suggesting it’s cool to have the latest technology but uncool to understand how it works, (i.e understanding specs is uncool apparently) just put your faith in the fact that you must be getting the best because your paying more and it has an Apple logo on it. Some advise for Apple would be to stop trying to control everything, make your products compatible with existing technologies, allow the iPhone to work as a USB drive, give it an industry standard connection type (micro usb for example), give it an SD Card slot, allow it to play files you copy to it without using iTunes, be upfront about the specs.
PS :p
AM I the only one who thinks that the “World’s most advanced display” is Photoshopped???????! @_@
NOKIA : Connecting people since *insert the year they made phones here*
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzQNcl279cQ&feature=plcp
lets put things into perspective here.besides the fanboyism,an iphone is released once a year and therez only 1 model available so the crazy sales are to be expected.iphones are more a matter of being classy and stupid.its the thinking that goes with “hey it cost a fortune so it must be the best.people who buy those are the kind of people who would buy an expensive lightweight sportscar that doesnt include a stereo system
This is the first ever year me not buying iPhone. Looking forward to Lumia 920.
Hehe, this infographic was actually produced by one of the MNB readers, not by geek.com!
Great job by … [I am not sure if he wants to be named]!
Nice job by the unnamed one.
Did Janne go on vacation or something? Or did he get fed up and quit?
nokia is the best
that’s now their stocks and situation says
Apple and others can make all the claims they like without referencing to Luma 920 because we have NOT gone to market yet, so the general public don’t know it exists……… Yet
Nokia’s really under the microscope recently and it’s painfully obvious the polarising effect peoples opinions have on different brands.
Apple has made two completely ridiculous claims during their iPhone 5 reveal. 1) iPhone 5 is the slimmest phone in the world & 2) Their screen is the most advanced in the world.
In fact even Nokia 920′s very very impressive screen cannot claim to be the worlds most advanced. And I doubt they would care to go that far in obvious deception.
Only if the screen incorporates all the leading technologies of competing brands and surpasses those technologies together with unique technologies which surpasses the competitions variations can a claim to the worlds most advanced be made…
By “polarizing effect,” are you referring to Nokia ClearBlack(tm) technology?
Heh
CBD is a real necessity in sunny climes though.
But yeah, Apple’s supposedly better displays are a joke when the latest Android and WP8 devices have much larger, high-resolution screens.
And who gives a hoot if a screen is a few micrometers thinner, when it’s more likely to crack, especially when one spends the previous two model cycles slapping glass on front and back of a phone…
So how does puremotion compare to Super Amoled plus.
Better refresh rate ? maybe not.
Bath salts?
