Retina is the best looking display. I had the phone you mention. Not even close to Retina.
AMOLED is a marketing term Samsung uses. Like Retina display it means nothing. What is real is comparing text on both devices side by side. You will see how much sharper the iPhone is. Video is misleading, since a 1080p TV has a lower resolution than even the cheapest smartphones.
Retina allows for a smaller screen to be easier to read than a large one. Less zooming offsets screen size, and a smaller screen improves battery life.
I think Andriod, a year later needs to roll out a phone that is equal to Retina with a bigger screen. Then Android will be able to argue about screen sizes being a big advantage. None of this "almost as good" garbage.
That is why Apple was in no rush today. They mitigated Androids hardware advantage enough, that combined with Retina, and software still makes it the best overall phone out there. Android can keep it's 3D screen and 5.1 surround speaker gimmicks.
