Can anyone please tell me how Galaxy s4 screen handles Sunligh is it same as S^3
It's not that great, I have not comparted it to S3 but it is sometimes hard to see what's on the screen (it was better on my fake S3 from China). The most annoying thing is if you have autobrightness turned on and you get a call while outside, it takes about 3 seconds to increase the brightness (if you take the phone out of your pocket) of the screen for you to see who is calling.

I'm always using a anti glare screen protector, it improves around 70% in the minimum brightness! I guess is not a bad idea to have one on

Read again. I am from Brazil living in London, already tested the same screen protector there, of course is not the same effect but is much better than without it.

Better then s3 for sure since it has a higher ppi

Tbh I've never had any problems with visibility in sunlight. The smudges shine, but that's the case with any phone. AMOLED is by nature pretty good in sunlight, it's nothing you should worry about.
Definitely an improvement over S3, at least with auto brightness on. You can see what you're doing even in strong sunshine.

Amoled is NOT 'good by nature' in sunlight. LCDs however are because when the sun shines straight onto it they show their reflective side (as opposed to their blocking/filtering side during normal operations) and you can still read/see what you're doing. That way LCDs are NOT pretty but they're readable. NO Amoled I know of is very readable in the same conditions. Again, this is with the screen in direct sunlight on a nice and sunny day.
What did get better, when compared to the S3, is: screen is brighter and the colour scheme for email changed from dark (which makes things worse in sunlight) to a brighter scheme
As for those matte screen protectors: worst thing EVER on a high res display

Oh really? Sorry about that then, I need to get my facts straight. I wonder where I got that idea.
But anyway, personally I've had no troubles with my screen in sunlight. Then again I do live in a nordic country so sunlight isn't as bright.

I hear what you're saying and, no hard feelings, but here in Autralia I was forced to go back inside on a number of occasions (although this was with an S3) because I could not read ANYTHING on my screen. If you think about it, Amoled produces light.....how is that going to stack up against the light produced by the sun....not too well. A LCD or TFT display has a backlight and some sort of 'layer' that blocks/filters the backlight. Even in direct sunlight this is readable because that 'layer' is clearly visible and becomes reflective. To be honest it's more black and white at that point but it works. Of course the dark S3 theme din't help. I would imagine in environments that are not as bright the S3 and (even more so) the S4 would work without issues even in direct sunlight.

Whatever works for you. I'm just saying that all the 'matte' and 'anti-glare' protectors I had just made the image fuzzy due to the....well...rough(?) surface of the protector. They used to be fine in the old QVGA days but now I find them reducing the sharpness of the image.
Just bought my Moto X from motomaker, made an order on thursday and received it this morning - so fast (St Louis, MO)!
So my main concert is the screen brightness. Even my Galaxy Nexus was not the brightest phone that I ever had, but Moto X screen is even dimmier. It is probably the same screen that was used at Galaxy Note 2 except being smaller. That screen was dim as well. That causes the display to be reflective to lamps and sun which annoys me.
Second thing that I did not like so far, is, surprise, the phone's shape which everybody likes. For me the edges are too sharp, maybe I just have too big hand.
Camera is a little bit better than Galaxy Nexus camera, for me the quality of it is ok so far.
But active notifications rock.
Do you know if it will be possible to increase the brightness somehow?

I don't find the brightness to be an issue, even turned all the way down - any chance you can go to a retailer and check to see how the brightness compares on one of their floor models? It seems like that could be a defect, rather than working as intended.
I don't know the Max brightness is fine for me. I actually wish the brightness went Lower. That is really not that big of a problem. As for the camera I don't know what all the criticism is about. The low light could be better but I think the regular shots are very good

Eh, depending on the kernel drivers maybe increasing the brightness is possible. But I doubt it. I think its happened before on other devices, but usually LCD screens. This is amoled so I bet it won't happen.

2nd, i find it quite bright. In most cases i have it set pretty dim. I'd compare in store.
That's AMOLED for you. I had 2x GNEX and both had different brightness and colour. One had to be 55% to be equivalent to the other at 30%.
If you think it is too dim, you are probably right. Just exchange it.

My Gnex with Faux kernel can be set to a ridiculously bright setting through rgb and gamma. Then you have active display/screen mode on the other Galaxy devices so it's possible.

May just be defective. I leave my screen around 40 percent and it's more than bright enough even in sunlight.

I find the camera to be inconsistent. Some photos look great and others look like they have a gray haze over them. I think it just has issues with white balance, really. Because of that, in outdoor sunlight photos look pretty good, but with LED lighting, or CFL lighting, they look washed out.
Hopefully the new update makes it more consistent.

According to the reviews I've read on Android Central by Phil and Jerry, it is stock Android with a couple of added features that are beneficial rather than gimmicky. The skin looks like vanilla Android, whereas TouchWiz, Sense, etc. use difference icons, different menus, OEM-specific apps (like Samsung's S Voice, for example), etc. The Moto X seems to be stock Android 4.2 with a transparent navigation bar, active notifications, and the Motorola app to connect the phone to the computer (so you can get incoming texts, etc. on your desktop).

It has a very pure Android feel. As mentioned above, there are just a couple nice additions. The active notifications really should be included on all smart phones.

I completely agree with the edges but I also agree it is because you have big hands. I was dropping the phone all the time because of its size. I got this case that fits nice is a little bit thicker and looks pretty nice. I actually only got the case because I wanted a little but more grip on the phone with these shaq like hands I have.

I can post/send you some real pictures later if you would like.
So after some very confusing moments I just figured out that the Z2 screen is polarized so when holding the phone in landscape for example while taking a picture, you can't see the screen if you are wearing polarized sunglasses.
Here you can see it in a video I made:
http://youtu.be/kSWo7yLdfwU
This is the first time I see this in a smartphone, it's a little bit annoying, anyone knows the reason?, maybe the polarizing filter in the screen of the Z2 is what makes it a little bit dimmer than the competition?

pretty sure its to make the screen more visible under water... maybe.
edit: just googled, most phones have it now to stop glare from sun. thats it.
I know polarizing glasses stops water glare.. not sure how itd work under water though.
After seeing this first hand today it's a definite deal-breaker for me, as every pair of sunglasses I own are polarized, and I have no intention of changing that. I never had an issue before seeing the screen of my HTC One X & One M7 outside wearing sunglasses & taking photos in any orientation. Since the Z2 I received this week has a gap the size a credit card will fit into on the bottom left & both cameras are very off center I was going the exchange route but after noticing this today, no thanks. It's really a shame, maybe a future Xperia will be better though.
I found a review that mentions this issue on Pocket Lint: http://www.pocket-lint.com/review/128493-sony-xperia-z2-review
FWIW I have read elsewhere that the HTC One M8 shares this same issue too.
It is pretty daft considering most holiday snaps will be taken in landscape with the sunglasses on.

I guess Sony missed this one. Almost all LCD displays have a polarizing filter, but they are usually set to polarize at 45 degrees compared to sunglasses (or vice versa). You can try this by looking at an LCD display (not the Z2, obviously) or your digital watch through your sunglasses and then turning the glasses slowly.
BTW, my Google Nexus 7 tablet is also polarized at 90 degrees. I can see nothing in landscape view.
But my computer display and even the LCD in my car dash can be seen clearly. Unless I tilt my head 45 degrees.

Exactly! I've hated the camera on my M7 since day 1 and I was excited to finally upgrade to a phone with a high quality camera. Little did I know at the time the Z2 would also be useless on sunny days for taking photos

That's pretty interesting, I never really knew how that worked, thanks! I have noticed in some cars I couldn't see the nav screen with my sunglasses on, and I just thought it was a poor quality screen, luckily in my Jeep there's no problem at all though. Now I must find a phone with a legible screen for taking sunny day photos.

Then your sunglasses aren't polarized, because the screen definitely is.
If you research LCD technology you will see a polarizing filter is required to make the screen work. If you then have polarizing glasses then you will have this issue. AMOLED technology is superior in this respect because it does not involve the use of polarized light.

The flaws you mentioned are present on almost all Z2's, so you aren't going to find one without flaws. Also if you are going to avoid a purchase of a phone strictly because you can't lift your glasses up for 3 seconds to snap a picture once or twice a month, then I wish you luck with your other life endevours lol From what I understand most phones with LCD's have polarized screens, so you may not be able to find one that doesn't have it. The Z2 is a great phone I wouldn't consider anything else.
Z2 is probably polarised for sunlight legibility. My tablet Z is also polarised in the opposite plane.

Let me start by telling you that I am a fan of LG screens and lcds and I can't stand the AMOLEDs on cellphones and the unnatural colors. I have an LG TV, LG monitor and had G2 and the G3. I am a new owner of the G4 that I just purchased yesterday.
The reason I switched to this phone is to have better camera and better visibility in sunlight which is where I work. I work outside and need good sunlight visibility and take a lot of photos and videos outside.
The problem I have and I'm sure all the G4 owners will have this, is that the color of the screen fades out especially the greys and the blacks on screen. I'm not having the typical light bleed here. the whole screen fades out almost turning very very grey with texts and other colors fade out in color.
Its doing it on a cloudy day as well. Ive swtiched the phone out to a new G4 because of this problem and the issue is still there with the new phone. I'm really shocked by this because all of the reviews going around the net are raving how its visibility is great in sunlight!
I think LG messed up really bad here, made the display awesome indoors and wasn't fully aware that the lcd is sensitive to sunlight.
I was wondering if anyone else is noticing this problem.
To do the test, go to a random website or some site with text which is more noticeble than other colors(grey texts turn really white so its a better test), hold the phone out for 3-5 seconds then look at the phone. You'll notice that the texts are very grey or even white. It has to be done in natural sunlight. It wont work in indoor lighting.
Then turn the phone upside down for 3-5 seconds then look at the text again to see it come back to dark black or visible color.
Please tell me I'm not the only one noticing this....
I might never come back to LG after this one... At least for my cellphones...
I don't even think it's fixable with firmware updates... oh and my brightness is on 100% when I test it. I've tried it with auto as well and same thing with the first G4 and the new G4 I switched out.
I would hate to pay a restocking fee of $50 just to return the phone.... LG what should I do?!
Yes - I've seen this twice when outdoors at work this week. Hoping it's a software issue they can address? What has been said in the past?
Thanks for the reply. I hope its a software issue as well but I doubt it... I looked all over the internet and not one thing has been said...
I can't believe all the reviews are raving about the visibility outside.... how is this better than G3??? even the G2 had better visibility
I think its like the Note 4 it goes into a high contrast mode, but I use Lux Light for auto brightness and it doesnt do it anymore
Agree on that.
Additional the display isnt as bright as LG made me belive, my G2 is noticable more bright than my G4 ?
Gesendet von meinem LG-H815 mit Tapatalk
This is a design by LG - to lessen the contrast in direct sunlight, so that you can supposedly can see more. If you cover the light sensor, it'll revert. It only does it at 98% brightness or higher.
It doesn't help me, but it's doing what it's supposed to..

Yes, that's because LUX controls brightness, not contrast.
You're talking about the contrast changing to lessen when under bright sunlight, no?

Yeah it doesn't detect it tell the lux gets really high, but if you take a flashlight to your sensor it will turn on. But either way its still easy enough for me to read I dunno guess I got good eyesight
I just took whole bunch of pictures of my kids at the pool full sun. I have a nexus 5 and 6 and the G4 is almost in another league as far as outdoor visibility imo. At least with the camera app. Haven't had the phone for long so will have to report back if I see this issue

The funny thing is that when I called LG from the Tmobile store they didnt even know about it. Thats why they swapped out the phone for me. Good CS

I asked for a replacement. The customer care guy said they haven't received any complaints regarding display so far. Mine's the first. I don't know if people don't notice it or if I got a bad one. I hope the replacement phone will have a better display since you can't return phones here in India; only replacements.

I've just received my U11+ from HTC club (Italy) and I've the same exact problem.
The brightness is a bit low and the bottom part (1/4) of the display is yellowish.
Does this problem affect all units? If it's true, I'll go for a refund

Some units fine,some units barely noticeable and some units too much evident.
I hope that an update will fix the problem or maybe let us adjust the bottom color leds.
I was reading the posts(Google translated) and there are many people with the problem.

i have to say im really happy with my screen. No yellowish marks on the bottom, not pink tinge, not even that much back light bleed. I must be a lucky one or my eyes dont work properly!
Just got mine today, no issues so far. screen is good, i can notice slightly that the edges are a bit darker but it doesnt bother me.

Thanks for your report, my unit is barely noticeable but, once I've noticed, it is definitely here. If some units are totally not affected by this problem I'll try for an exchange

No problem at all here. U11 Is brighter. But the U11+ looks sharper and more realistic. That said. Blacks are very deep for a lcd display.

Just got my U11+ and noticed a slight yellow bottom 1/3 of the display. Have you managed to fix yours yet? Does it get better?

I had HTC One M8. It's display was perfect.
I asked for a replacement. The customer care guy said they haven't received any complaints regarding display so far. Mine's the first. I don't know if people don't notice it or if I got a bad one. I hope the replacement phone will have a better display since you can't return phones here in India; only replacements.

After a few days of tinkering I've realised my screen is also tinted reddish (with the bottom 1/3rd being the worst). On DCI-P3's coldest setting does it only almost not look too warm. But at lower brightness it's still way too warm. It almost looks like an instagram filter is permanently on. My M8 has much crisper whites and comparing the 2 phones with the same photos, the M8 always looks crisper and better
When viewing the screen from an angle from the left, the colours look almost how I'd want them. But viewing from other angles it just gets warmer.
Is it worth all the effort of exchanging it for a new one? Did your new one come out better?

Hey, I would agree with your observation to some extent, but I won't call it reddish. I got this a day ago and my previous phone was a 3 yr old Oneplus One. U11+ is certainly on the warmer side and I have kept it at 50% beyond the middle for DCI-P3. But I don't find any particular difference viewing from left or right. It certainly has a softness which I can't really comprehend, is it the higher resolution from my OPO or the warmer tone, no clue. You may try exchanging if possible and see if it helps since you said your bottom 1/3rd is particularly showing difference.

I did notice it was a bit softer than my M8. Which is strange since it has a much higher resolution and DPI.
But I ended up returning it. The yellow discolouration wasn't working for me. Hoping to get a new one soon though. I miss my U11+ a lot - especially the camera and Edge Sense...

Yes better to do that than live with a doubt in mind. Hope you get a good device.

I forgot to reply to this, but I eventually got a new U11+ and it's screen is great! No issues so far (except for direct sunlight visibility once in a while). I'm very happy with the phone
