I'm assuming you're talking about me. As I said before, those numbers mean diddly-squat when you are actually looking at the thing. They can have "perfect" white all day every day but it means little when they're dull. I don't need a rigorous scientific analysis to tell me that one screen isn't brighter than another. And I did check out an iPhone I got for my cousin a little over a month ago. My phone was on the grayish side compared to it, not blue.
I mean, this is not difficult to understand. If the advantage of OLED is perfect blacks, then it has to be weak in whites, it's polar opposite. If there is no backlight for blacks (a good thing) then the same thing holds true for whites (a bad thing). All the other colors are somewhere in the middle. Again, this is simple observational fact and common sense. As I've said many times in the past Samsung's OLEDs have had two problems, terrible tints and dull whites. For the S6 the terrible tints are gone but the dull white is still there.
I would've responded sooner but I suddenly realized that I was arguing over the internet about something perceptive, obvious and unimportant.
Good grief. This inane, doublespeak post reminds me of the black/blue vs white/gold dress. Clearly everybody had their own interpretation of the dress, and that's fine. In the end, it was revealed that the dress really was black/blue in real life. Those seeing white/gold was due to how the photo was taken, there wasn't anything wrong with their opinion, it was formed on that photo. You on the other hand are coming in here, stomping around like a child, and are trying to tell everyone that the dress really was white/gold in real life, not just the that one photo.
Amazingly, every quality review on recent AMOLED screens doesn't come to the same opinion, and their objective numbers don't lie. It would be much better if you called a spade a spade, and said the truth, you are a shill for iPhones, and prefer their screen. That's totally fine. But don't come in here, and try to ignore objective analysis and put down AMOLED screens with nothing but hyperbole. Don't come around here using words like "obvious, perceptive, common sense, observational fact" when you don't practice it, let alone understand the true meaning of such powerful words. This single post reflects some of the aspects that makes reading this subforum go from really helpful from the good posters to absolutely dreadful from certain posters, given the lack of any sense of intellectual honesty.

The numbers are out there, already posted by others. When I see the Anandtech initial review for the S6/Edge say:
Overall, this is probably the best display anyone will be able to get in a smartphone right now.
They have the data just like other websites that can support such statements. I think many people here are scientifically driven, and prefer evidence based conclusions, not dreadful biased made-up opinions we see like the above poster.
