Erm, The only thing that Apple has on Andorid phones is resolution. I.e. the Galaxy S2's Super AMOLED Plus (damn I hate that name) has a brighter screen with deeper colors.

Infinite contrast and vibrant colors, yes. Bright, I wouldn't say that:

(I'm one of those who went the AMOLED route and will probably never come backĀ…)

That is a strange chart, besides own my comparisons (both devices @100%), there are several comparisons on YouTube, also showing a much brighter screen on the S2:

OTOH, I've seen many complaints about low brightness and yellowish tint on the S2, maybe there are different versions of the screen?
