It's the size of the One X display that's killing the battery, not the technology used.

I have seen exactly the opposite once on the internet. It was SLCD screen next to SAMOLED, same size, where SLCD was shown using 1000mW while SAMOLED was only using 500mW.
I don't know what to believe, but my G Nexus had big screen too, yet it would last 2.5 days, while One X lasts 1-1.5 days.

Okay people, having had the Galaxy Nexus and now One X.

One X screen is nicer and the pentile vs RGB is noticeable to an extent. You wouldn't be able to tell unless you put both side by side. 1280x720 is such a high resolution, pentile doesn't effect it as much compared to low res 840x400 etc....

They're both beautiful screens and have their own pros/cons.

Whoever says viewing angle is clearly better on a One X is just a fanboy or something, because SAMOLED has some of the best viewing angles possible, the actual touch technology is built into the glass meaning one less layer and the OLED is literally right on the glass, theres absolutely no gap. One X viewing angle are great and i'd call it a tie if anything between the two.

Colors......you can tweak SAMOLED colors to be more naturaly, but out of the box, SLCD2 is always going to be warmer and more "realistic". Granted, SAMOLED has greater contrast and greens etc...are more vibrant. SLCD2 is a huge improvement though on the One X and it comes very close to the SAMOLED HD. Of course, blacks are still much blacker (nearly nonexistant) on SAMOLED and contrast is much greater. I like either, and don't fret over it. I really don't notice unless i'm comparing side by side and it's not a big deal to me.

Pixels, yea theyre both crazy high resolution and you wouldn't be able to notice a difference unless you look at those stupid 100x magnified pics or put them side by side and squint. One X takes the win obv, but it's not a humongous difference between the two in terms of the RGB vs Pentile, One X is clearer though and wins.

Power consumption, depends what your doing. Right now, I'm blaming Tegra 3 for the bad battery life and all these software problems on the One X. But in general, One X will win in batter life if the browser is used a lot. SAMOLED HD will destroy SLCD2 if using a black wallpaper or anything dark as the pixels aren't even turned on (very very very little electric current still runs thru them). SLCD2 will do better on whites compared to SAMOLED HD obv, but if you have a blackwallpaper or anything, SAMOLED HD will do wonders. Granted, SAMOLED HD still does very well on white backgrounds, but its hard to tell until power usage is sorted out on Tegra 3, the browser on the One X eats battery like no other.

I'd recommend looking at the GSM arena battery tests and just comparing the One X and Galaxy Nexus. Talk time is very impressive, while the rest are not. Especially video playback, very disappointing on the One X.....Tegra 3 should excel in it with the companion core and all that supposed technology they have. Waiting to see if software updates will improve things.....and when they decide to release goddamn kernel sources

I agree with all the above. Coming from Galaxy Nexus, I had BOTH phones for 2 weeks and plenty of comparisons were made.
Honestly? First time I compared screens side by side I was blown away by SLCD2, it had better colours! Clarity of course too.
BUT remember this, this is always going to be the case, once you see better screen there is no going back.
BUT if you are coming from any non-720p screen, you will be amazed by Super AMOLED HD.

So now fake-looking artificially contrasted colours are "good"? And dont forget the blue tinge. I'm no technie, but the first time I saw a Samsung screen I felt odd, not because of the fake ass colours but because everything seemed more blue. Since then I have never seen a Samsung w/out the blue tinge. SLCD 2 for me.

Tests from Anandtech prove that the main drain is the SoC not the display. That"s a myth.

If everyone just use the phone how it should be used, battery should be fine. My HOX battery went from 100% to 97% in 8hrs standby. Is that bad? I'm not an expert, but for me that is fine. But once I start turning the phone on, just scrolling and really doing nothing useful, of course the battery gets drained easily. The more advance smartphones become, the more power hungry they become right? To those who own a PSP, soes the battery last long if you play with it say 4-6 hours straight? Just sking coz I don't own one.

when HTC switched to SLCD from amoled (due to shortage), they got it from both sony and samsung and later on other taiwanese companies like AUO and sharp.

SLCD was developed by samsung to make up for shortage of amoled, sony called it super lcd, HTC called it slcd, samsung called it superclear LCD for their own products,
basically they're all same panel used same tech(PLS) developed by sony S-LCD Corporation, which is now 100% Samsung Electronics.

it seems like SLCD2 isnt improved version of SLCD, its just same panel as LG's ah-IPS-LCD.

this display war has begun before smartphones, its basically VA vs IPS on LCD display panels.

AMOLED screens hurt my eyes, the oversaturation of colors like orange and yellow is why I'm not using them, not Pentile.

I'm going to say One X
