As you can see from the pictures down below.


On this first picture you can see the standard Pentile pixel lay out next to the RGB metrix from the HTC One X.  With PenTile displays there are only two subpixels per pixel, with twice as many green pixels than red and blue ones.

We think that Samsung has used their new way of making Amoled screens called Laser-Induced Thermal Imaging (LITI).  Which has allowed for higher pixel densities, so that might be it, in the new Note II.
