An SAMOLED screen operates the same way as an AMOLED screen: the pixels do not light up for blacks meaning it uses less battery compared to other screens such as LCD.
...but to answer your question, there really shouldn't be much of a difference as SAMOLED screens have more vivid colors but they behave the same way for blacks.
But I like changing my wallpaper constantly!

Yeah, not sure how much it'll save you because I doubt anybody just stays at their home screen for extended periods of time. I just refer the black background

I agree, I've done similar tests in the past and found similar results. It's more useful in things like the web browser where people may spend more time onscreen.

Interesting conversation. It highlights the diversity among users, and the ability of these phones to accommodate that diversity. I just changed my live wallpaper to an autumn scene with pretty colors, animated trees and water, and falling leaves when I shake the phone. Chews up mondo battery I'm sure, but for my tastes, that's what I want to use my battery for. Fun world, this Land of Android!![]()
