It's a rough microsoft paint job i did but the idea is a light stripe between the metal frame and the phone itself, either transparent or dark despending if light can show my friend helped me with the glow. Since i did all this in paint things are low resolutiond and offcentered the light would be able to show any colors anywhere as shown in the rainbow picture above
I also had an idea for something called hybrid resolution, that changes resolution to 4k if you connect a tv or if you want to watch a movie in 4k. you can also use 720p,1080,4k throughout the phone or you can have it automatically change to 1080p when you play a game or a movie.
so the 4k resolution would be optional when you want it so it's like a computer.
Screen size would be 4.7 inch and if that dosn't make sense 5 inch.
battery 3800 mah if that would fit
Each corner has a speaker it's hard to see but if you zoom in you can see bad speaker grills next to the power and volume buttons.
The idea is that the light stripe is invisible once off so it won't ruin the phones overall apperance, i hated the plastic on my z1 so i thought about replacing it with a light stripe like the sp just all around that can change colors everywhere, like red at the top blue at the bottm you also wouldn't be able to see every individual led dot so it would be a clear light.
It needs 10000mah battery

And a fifth speaker, gotta have that 4.1 in the phone you know!
i like your concept, aside of:
camera and xenon position needs to be just a little bit down-right.
xenon possibility is still very low - change xenon to dual LED flash.
"G lens" needs to be horizontal.
sony logo on the back needs to go back to it's original position like in the Z1.
front facing camera needs to go up to the center of the bezel or to the center-right.
add infra red eye next to the camera sensor like in the Japanese Z1 version.
sony won't compromise thickness for huge battery and 3800 mah won't fit your concept thickness because the phone is shielded from water and dust.
the glow doesn't fit the phone so much and seem a bit unnecessary also it would have to be oled light so it doesn't suck battery life. otherwise, a stripe on top front and back should be enough.
the glass needs to be shatter resistance or ditch the glass design for all aluminium back and sides - we don't want that annoying shatter film that makes the touch less responsive and is scratches easily - no pre installed shatter film SONY.

This is to improve the sharpness and color quality of your photos taken by the 2mp camera on the phone.
Doing this mod will void your warranty, but poses nearly no risk to your phone. It's very simple.
WHAT THIS MOD DOES :
You'll be removing the transparent plastic piece that is in front of the camera lens for protection. That plastic piece is ... well, it's cheap plastic. Everytime you take a picture, the lens sees through this crappy plastic and obviously, that diminishes a lot the quality of what the lens can actually do. On real digital cameras, the lens is never protected when taking pictures. It's only protected when the camera is turned off.
This link shows you how to disassemble the TyTN,

but you will not need to go past the third picture in this guide.

So, on the right side of this picture is the plastic back panel of the phone, which includes the transparent plastic camera lens protector.
From the "INSIDE" side of the back panel, try to break the clear plastic with a pointy metal screw driver. Press hard, but gently, until it cracks. The clear plastic piece is a circle, held into place with double-sided tape. I didnt try to remove it without breaking it, but you can give it a try if you wish.
Figure it out for yourselves, it's not rocket science.
Once it's removed, you'll only have the gray circle plastic with the focus switch on it.
The pictures will be sharper and the colors sharper. Here are BEFORE/AFTER pictures I took. Notice the edges and texts on the objects are much sharper. The colors come out much clearer. Those pictures were taken in the same lighting conditions.
PS : Im sure some of you will joke about the tissues on my desk. The reason I took the time today to try this mod was because Im home sick with the flue. Hence the tissues, ok?
Just in case it's not clear
Left side : BEFORE mod
Right side: AFTER mod
And remove the transparent plastic will expose the lens to dust, water, etc. It is too deep in the casing to get scratched though.
I'd suggest finding a way to put a removable cover for when you dont take pictures, just like real cameras.
I have another advice...
I totally removed both cameras:
That forces you to use your real, standalone camera and take high quality photos subsequently.
haha! yeah..... However I dont carry my digital camera 24/7 like I do with my phone
Lol, why would you waste your time removing a camera you paid for. Thanks for the tip alkizmo.
Thanks for this. It would have been good if you could have placed the phone on a stable surface so to totally eliminate and camera shake from the equation.

I did... sort of.
I put the phone on top of a wardrobe, but obviously, the phone sides arent perfectly flat, so there was still minimal shaking involved.
However I tried my best for both pictures (took multiple from before/after and selected the best candidates).

All of those of you that wanted an upgraded Google Nexus S - your wish has been granted, if you consider a new colour an upgrade.
TechRadar got a little look at the new handset on test, and if you're in the market for something different when it comes to a new mobile, then the White Nexus S will at least set you apart.
First impressions make it feel like all Google and Samsung have done is chuck a while plastic cover on the back of the phone, but thankfully it's a little more than that.
Firstly, the whole inside of the phone is now white when you pop the cover off, as well as the extraneous buttons - and these are the things that are actually different on view when you consider the differences between the white and black version.
Sat side by side, you probably wouldn't notice the difference between the two phones from the front, with the same 4-inch Super AMOLED screen on offer. We have no idea why the front isn't also white - we can only assume this messes with the colour perception in some way, as the dual tone looks odd.
We put the black plastic cover on the back of the white Nexus S (there's not a lot else you can do when taking pictures of a new cover) so you can see the difference.
Another key difference, and in our eyes an upgrade, is the back is no longer glossy plastic but a slightly mottled exterior making it easier to hold.
Other than that, the two phones are identical. there's no official White Google Nexus S UK release date, but expect to see the phone sometime in April.
It should be landing on the same £30 a month (ish) tariff as its black brethren on Vodafone - at least now you can decide which version suits you better.

Ok samsung needs to make a non glossy black battery cover ASAP!!!
+1 to SupaDupaFly24!!!
I think the phone looks a bit odd because the front is still just black.
The black cover on the white phone looks cool though.
All they did was change the back? not the front or the bezel?
The non glossy back is a great idea though.
When will they make black battery covers like that?

So here is the basic situation:
My friend and me bought a same i9000 from the same company at almost the same time. It's Telenor-Hungary.
We have been using it for over a year and I discovered an issue with the screens just yesterday.
I'll provide some screenshots:

as you see the only difference in the two screenshots is that I use 182 dpi and he uses 240.
But when we look at the phones with our eyes its not the same.
Mine , the lover dpi one is faded and greenish its blue is not really pure.
we tried to take photos of the difference:
so you can see the left one is more greenish and it's like missing some light blue or something i cant define. The best way to say it his phone has deeper colors.
also we discovered another difference
this is the 240 dpi (right one) with the better colors
and thiis is mine the sh*t greenish colored
you can notice the sim tray and the micro sd tray is different colored.
any idea why my screen is different than his?
By the way we use the same rom/kernel : teamhacksung b14 and devils latest with led2
thank you please just take a loook
Oled screens get worn out after time, especially the blue color is going to wear out fast. It could be that one of you two uses his phone more intense than the other...

Thats true mate!
I use 20 times more than him
This has nothing to do with usage.
It's just a difference in ur hardware. many users here on xda have this problem including me.
My girlfriends phone has so nice and deep colours but my phone just looks yellowish and wasted.
I installed chainfire3D and use nightmode to adjust colours manually which brought a really nice result and I also use voodoo color for adjusting gamma values.
This brought me a whole new display and now it looks like this of my gf. Feel free and try it.
and to your sim tray and sd card problem^^
Your friend has the protection stickers/foils still on and u don't - that's it!
greetz
Thats the same colour the Sim Tray. Thats plastic...

Yes, you can think that's the amoled technology that gives a strange tint until you see different devices.
Then you will notice some screens are quite OK, some are yellow and some are blue (and right out of the box).
I don't know if Samsung had several screen batches (they do that on PC monitors and TV without warning) or if the amoled panel is just not regular at the end of its production process.
Supercurio tried to investigate on some Galaxy S II models, asked people to give their screen identification serial and which problem/tint they noticed. I don't know if he came on a conclusion.
Anyway, for now you have this gamma adjustment tool included in Team hacksung ICS, you'll also have a new "Voodoo screen tuning app" with profiles and advanced options soon (Supercurio announced he will release it after he has sorted out some payment/market issues).
How can u tell me then, why i can see a bright ribbon on white screen where my status bar normally is? 5his is deffinitely a wear symptom...

Yeah, there's no denying screens get old too. I was just explaining this tint problem in particular.
I got my note 4 for 1.5 week now and today i saw something very very odd.
The screen was off and i saw the reflection of a ceiling lightbulb in my screen and what i noticed was that at a certain spot the reflection gets deformed! like you would push too hard on the screen and you'd push that section a little deeper.
I tried to capture a photo but that didnt really work out as the camera is blinded by the reflection. It looks like the glass just isnt completely flat , like when its still liquid and cooling down you'd put your finger on it to make an indent..
Its located in the middle heightwise and about 2/3rd to the right side. I've never ever seen this before, only with my ipod touch 4g i could push the glass and it would change reflections (so it kinda bent a little bit) but it came back to how it should be when pressure was released.
I've been very careful so i have no idea how this could have occured.. should i bring it back to the store or something?
I'm not really sure what you are describing but sounds like a defect. Better try returning it before you cant.
Return it before it's too late. That spot could be ripe for problems down the road when you've run out of warranty (ie weakness in the glass.)
Mine's the same. Almost like it has ripples but only noticable when the screen's off and I look at a bright light reflected in it.
I assumed it was normal . . . Perhaps due to the 2.5D (or whatever it's called) glass production. Doesn't seem to make any difference to the display or to touch sensitivity.
Anyone else have this?
Vey vey slight ripple on mine, but it's still considered normal. 2.5D is the rounded feature at the edges of the screen where it meets the metal rim.
yea mine isnt noticeable when the screen is on, only when looking at bright reflections. I'm going to the store just so they can notice it too and maybe write it on my warranty or something
Mine isn't flat either! Remember my Galaxy Note 10.1 had a similar problem but it was only on the back cover... having the same problem on the front side is totally unacceptable to me and I will return it tomorrow!!
Problem must be that components underneath the screen is sticking up too much.

Mine too and also the ones at the store. Maybe thats normal? Also just noticed my Tab S 8.4 is slightly un even.
I think its normal and not a defect

Do you see it too? When the display is on of course.
I'm worried it's a gap and will compromise the water resistance of the phone.
Glad to hear if you can see it too.

Yes, I've had a few devices and they all had it. Light bleed is also visible where the aluminum bezel meets the front glass....and the above the notification LED...aaaaaand below the earpiece. All completely normal, happened in every device I've tested. I have major OCD with this kind of stuff, but it really doesn't bother me anymore.
ETA - Here's an picture I took a while back with my old s6 edge, you can clearly see the side light bleed and above the home. Times haven't changed. That said hopefully Samsung will address this in the S8.

Thank you for your detailed answer I really appreciate it I'm sorry to hear that you struggle with this topic as well just to make sure I attached a picture the exact location can you confirm that this is the spot where you see it as well

Yes happens right there, above the home button. But again, that's not the only place where you'll find the light. It's annoying sure.
I have not noticed any light bleeding like you've described.
Although at night, as shown above, brighter sides of the screen will cause where the glass/aluminum meet to "glow" since the display light is reflecting/traveling down the curved edges. Looks weird, and not a fan of it... but not a deal breaker either.
My onyx edge has a gap between the metal frame and front glass, more or less around the volume buttons region. I read it's not uncommon, but it worries me because it could mean water leaking in.
Every device has a gap between the the aluminum bezel and the glass. Not sure why Samsung designed it this way, but it's literarily in every device. Along with very minor light bleed by the notification led, home button, and earpeice speaker. I don't think it'd have any impact on the water resistance, otherwise every device would be broken that took a dip in water.
You're right but I still don't trust the water resistance. Also what I've noticed is that the screen is a bit nervous when on full brightness. Almost seems like an ultra fast flickering when I look at the screen
