I don’t know. The screens seem a wash to me and whether one is better than the other depends more on taste than specs.

I personally don’t like how those OLED screens look (I like their contrast and blacks, don’t like their colors) and I also dislike PenTile immensely. The screen being larger is actually a negative point for me. I guess it would still be alright for me but only just.

On the whole I get better contrast and blacks and higher resolution with the Nexus but also lower pixel density, worse colors and larger size. Whether one or the other is better for you personally can’t be determined from that.

For me those screens seem about equal with different upsides and downsides. If you like larger screens you might clearly prefer the Nexus.

A clear verdict about the screen doesn’t seem possible, neither one is clearly inferior.

No offense, but did you read the review? Every single review, including this one, has called the complaints about saturation and Pentile effectively silly at this pixel density. Even the pixel density is barely different than the iPhone, a tiny percent. The size, I'm totally there with you though.

I have looked at screens with a similar pixel density and didn’t like it. I haven’t seen this phone yet but I plan to.

What other 720p 4.5" Pentile displays have you seen?

I have seen and used this phone live. PenTile is still noticeable, especially on clear, uniform color areas and I still wonder how they even thought about releasing it in the first place.

For me, PenTile is a deal breaker.

Also, remember that real pixel density is slightly lower, because each pixel has two subpixels instead of the three in RGB displays: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5000/galaxy-nexus-pentile-disc... (though I don't care as much about this).
