Samsung releases OLED World app to showcase AMOLED displays on newer devices

Samsung has released a new app, OLED World, to the Google Play store. Samsung hopes users will use the app to show off the capabilities of the AMOLED screens on devices like the Galaxy S 4 or the Galaxy Note 3. To do this, Samsung partnered with photographers Kwon O Chul, Ashley Vincent, Satoshi Kuribayashi and Hougaard Malan to produce a series of HD images of astronomical object, wildlife, insects, and landscapes. According to Samsung, their AMOLED screens are able to display 97% of the Adobe RGB color gamut, which is much larger than the standard sRGB. This produces more vibrant images.

In addition to being able to showcase your device’s screen using the photos, the images can be downloaded to your device and used as a background. Below are some screenshots from OLED World and the Google Play download link. Samsung indicates other devices will be supported shortly.
