Not sure what that means. How "cheap" is 450 Euros for a phone, if "expensive" one starts at about 480?

However, I'm not sure all consumers are looking for top of the line stuff, or even understand the differences.

GS I Plus still has amazing screen and even a better sound chip, than GSII. And could be bought for about 300 Euro.

Note that more than 10 Million of those are GSII's. Not sure how many are GS I.

Now that they bought a company that can do it, they also "do", right.

Maybe it's because AMOLED screens (particularly those with pentile) are not devastatingly superior?

Nope. They are DEVASTATINGLY superior. "Uhm, what, are you seriously comparing those!?!?!?" kind of superior. Anyone who's seen them, would agree.
And regarding the article you've posted, it takes a moron to state "gamut is too high", for starters it's called "wider" and calling it a disadvantage is like saying Porshe is a lesser car, because it
CAN drive much faster. Insane that this idiotic article is the first google result. But very typical for "Apple vs..." sea of FUD.
Major AMOLED disadvantages are (were):
1) Lower max brightness
2) Lifespan
3) Price
They got 1) to more than acceptable levels, and 2) is more of a problem for TVs, not for smartphones that got replaced every couple of years.
