Sorry, videophiles - that rumor that the Galaxy S III will be using a non-Pentile display turned out to be false. It's using the same Pentile Matrix technology that previous Samsung phones (among others) relied on. We had heard that the new Samsung flagship would use the sharper and more expensive "Super AMOLED HD+" layout (i.e. a standard pixel grid) but we can confirm here at the Mobile Unpacked event that this is not the case.

Welcome to your daily dose of Galaxy S III news! We still haven't seen a convincing render or press shot of Samsung's upcoming flagship, but according to and off-hand sentence from the OLED Association, we may finally know exactly what screen it's going to use. In among a gigantic report, the Association let slip that the Galaxy S III will have a 4.6-inch Super AMOLED HD+ screen - a 720p panel similar to, but distinct from, the screen that's on the Galaxy Nexus. What's different about it? That little plus sign makes all the difference: it means that the screen in question won't be using a Pentile pixel matrix. The report pegs the phone's release for May.
