What can we learn from the image?
-HW button for camera
-No HW button but ICS software buttons (like GalaxyNexus)
-Better SAmoled screen higher PPI, i dont think the screen is bigger.
-Edge to Edge screen
-Learning..
Looks pretty good huh?
Tell us what you think of the image and give us your opinion!

If it is, I don't want it! No hardware/dedicated buttons=No deal for me! Most likely this isn't the Note; I'd find it hard-pressed that they'd have a new version built a few scant months after the first Note was released. That would kill Note sales!

it is fake,there are any official information about note 2. but i like this design very much

If the screen size and resolution remains the same then you dont get a higher PPI.

EarlZ maybe was meant like the PenTile vs Samoled Plus. Same res but not the same res. And you know what I mean

From what I understand PPI does not care for subpixel its basically display resolution and display size.. it does not factor in the subpixel count.

Could be the Galaxy S3?
Apparently a snapshot of it was leaked in a promo video at CES this year.

If screen is edge to edge, that wouldn't be good imho. There needs to be a bezel. Otherwise you would have too many accidental presses just by holding the phone.

I think its too early for Galaxy Note 2, it won't be public till end of 2012. Since Samsung is still in the process of releasing it in UK n US

A design with such a thin bezel doesn't look too realistic.

Yeah I remember seeing that picture and others on sites but I'm pretty sure it was concept fan art for the Galaxy SIII.

Just compare the sharpness of the camera/earpiece grill vs the sharpness of the image. Obviously it is a render.

It's sure a fake. Why should they invent a mobile phone without and buttons at the bottom. It's ugly without. Just my opinion

Note 2 most certainly won't have hardware buttons.
I'd rather have them too.
Will mimic the Nexus.
Google has already directed developers to begin developing with that in mind.

This concept is the Samsung Galaxy S3, not the second note (N8000)
Btw N8000 got the wifi certificate some time ago I am looking forward to see the younger brother of my phone.

It's a concept none of us will ever see in real life, but many will dream about.

It's from the official facebook page of Samsung Galaxy S3 which will be released in May 2012.

That page isn't official, it's a fan page made by somebody with high aspirations
either way it's a render and nothing more

It's sure a galaxy s3.

Size/color comparison between Galaxy S3, One X, Galaxy Note

I can't really choose between the three. Although, the "white" on the Samsung seems better. Not sure why, but my One X seems a bit reddish.

Wow, Note is bigger than I first thought. Could I trouble you to do a picture of all of them with the same wallpaper as the One X? Mainly as a comparison between SAMOLED and SLCD, or whatever the One X has. You don't have to, but it would be nice. Thanks.
*EDIT* Either the One X wallpaper or the Notes wallpaper.

This the best I can get. It's really hard to see the difference on picture, but all really looks to me personally.
Here's another one, and just for kicks added the iPhone 4 for size comparison.

Well I guess I'll have to settle for the Incredible. Wish I could have One X on Verizon.
The S III screen is so dim and has so many problems. Its color is awful. Most of all it's just plain dim. Half the brightness of a One X. No contest there, that is an objective fact. Then there are the tints, ink marks, the Pentile jaggedness, ugh. And the BURN IN that comes later. A nightmare. I really, really wanted to get an S III but I can't see myself straining to look at it outside or deal with ink marks.
I wish S III had the One X screen. Oh man, I wish.
To hold on to my data I will have to have a puny little Incredible. I also hate Sense already and the stupid multitasking button. Settings button would be so much nicer, with long hold on home for multitask.
Are there any other good S4 phones with LCD from VZ? I started looking at the Rezound, but it just seems like such an old phone...but since it's so cheap maybe I'll grab the Rezound and then wait for another phone next year to get off contract.

I've been using sammys samoled screens for years now and have yet to incur any burn in.
Edit: note burn in is definitely possible and I could see this being a factor in your choice, just saying it hasn't been a problem for me. Even with gps use and obviously the screen is on for extensive periods of time, no burn. Although I have heard others, specifically those using gps regularly getting burn in.
Edit2: I do love the one x screen though, traded my girl the one x for her SGSIII and I'm still in awe of the screen.

Hi!
It does appear that the HTC One X seems a tad reddish. I had the HTC One S phone (returned it for the SG3) and found the screen to be fairly bright and the whites looked really white. Would you say that is the case for the SG3 phone that is shown in your photograph? By the way, that is a great photograph you took of all three phones side by side!

Green tint

Do you have the problem that your screen has a slightly green tint?
It is possible to get rid of it by using apps like "filter your screen" (just add more red and even more blue). But there's no comparison to tools like voodoo color (v1 and gamma correction) on a galaxy nexus/s.
"Filter your screen" biggest problem is that it kills the good black level performance on an oled, contrast is lowered too much for my taste...
Do you guys know some better alternatives (even with enabled root or other hacks)?

It's a screen problem, not caused by the software. But it is possible to get rid of it porting a kernel module called "ColorControl" which was used in many Galaxy Nexus' custom kernels.

Yes during my Galaxy S days i used to have vodoo colour which used to make the screen look amazing, waiting for supercurio or anyother developer to port the option to galaxy note2

So you have the same problem?
As far as I know ColorControl is just a port of voodoo color from the Galaxy S1. So it should be possible to port it to the Galaxy Note 2 as well. Otherwise I'm going to return this nice device with that sh***y display. I will never buy a smartphone with an amoled display again!

Bad luck that you have got a faulty screen

Yesterday I went to a store here in Germany, and the Note 2 there had the same color cast.
I really like the Note 2 but I hate its display. This is embarrassing for Samsung!

Exchange your device.

Looks like this is screen problem, I have perfect white color. Try to test it from *#0*# menu (type this combination at phone app)

Got my replacement today: Gues what?! Exactly the same...
At least the build quality is much better.

I've noticed the same green tint that kind of goes away the brighter the phone gets. My eyes adjust after a few minutes though and I can't really see it. I would really like to get a colortemp/hue adjuster though.

Too bad you guys got faulty screens, as i have slight blue tint on my screen but i absolutely love this! I had One X 6 months and i would never want to change this display to that on One X, this is the best display i've ever seen. I guess it's just me then...

I always smile when I see you.
The phone is bad with out your touch

I think the color calibration is totally off on this phone. They chose to calibrate it this way, and it is out of my hands so it doesn't bother me because I love the device. Videos look great when I want to watch them.
Color is all relative because you cannot choose the color of the ambient light around you, so you are never seeing the pure color unless you are in a controlled environment. So why get hung up about how inaccurate the color looks on something in comparison to something else that's not bouncing the true color you're looking for?

Does the screen have a bluish tint in the whites similar to galaxy s3?

have they improved it? I can't find any close picture comparisons.. Thanks.

Looks better, but still there. I guess they're doing it to increase screen life or something, but absolutely hate that.
Once I installed Perseus on my Note II, I could hardly believe I'm looking at the same screen. Looks even better than iPhone 5 after calibration

yeah, but note 2 doesn't have pentile, doesn't it have a superior screen?

It does, yeah. But you can still see the bluish tint there. SIII/IV it's more greenish isn't it?
I have no idea why Samsung doesn't use RGB instead, is it because it isn't yet available for high PPI full HD screens?

I believe posters on here claimed cost reasons. too bad.. I prefer the overall design and build, screensize to handset ratio of the s4, but like the htc one screen..

That might not be apparent in normal vision though. S3 has noticeable graininess, but the pixel density on S4 should pretty much settle that IMO.
And I don't know if they took the screenshot with adobe RGB mode or saturated standard mode.
I love SAMOLED, but just wish if they could switch entirely to RGB. Wouldn't mind paying a few extra bucks either tbh if they implemented that on Note 3.

I don't think they can manufacture FHD 1080p yet. At least not in the amounts that the GS4 would demand at a reasonable price.

Yup, two issues: sharpness and color. It looks like the higher resolution overcame the less sharp drawback of pentile, but color tint looks is still there. need to verify what color mode the phone was in though.

welll, just got back from store. htc one's have multiple dipslay with different WB. but the s4 definitely had better WB in my eyes.

Why is this thread even open ? Amoleds will always have a bluish tint. LCDs always have better whites but suffer on black levels.

if you read my response, you'll see that the One has a more bluish tint than the S4.

Yellow tint issue on S4's screen

I have this annoying yellow tint on my S4's screen, but disappears when the phone is tilted over 45 degrees. Is this faulty ? Shall I return it ? Or is there a way I can fix the gamma through an app without rooting the phone ?

Mine doesn't look like that, sorry. But I have lag. ):

Is it just in Chrome?
Try Chrome Settings ---> Developer Tools ---> Uncheck 'Enable Tilt Scrolling'

@raqball nope this is found everywhere, even instagram and facebook.

Ah, no clue then sorry..

@raqball can you do a quick check with yours, similar to the one I did and let me know what you get ?

Go to settings display screenmode and use something else other than adapt display. Im currently using dynamic and my tint is gone.
ATT S4 Rooted. Beastin.
4.2.2

I had it on standard all this time (including screenshot) .. Putting it on dynamic gives the same result :

Damn I was hoping it was that because it fixed it for me. Maybe a hardware issue?

@stevehkim I'm not sure tbh .. thanks for the suggestion though. It's quite annoying after I realised that it exists ... Didn't bother me before I noticed it :\

I found an app called Screen Adjuster but its not really efficient.

I had this with my S3 and got used to it. I was told in those forums that this is just how these AMOLED screens are made.

My display is perfectly white though... Side by side comparisons between the Note II, Microsoft Surface RT (perfect white display), and a Sony HDTV. My S4 beats or meets them all.

Can you post a picture comparing your screen to a laptop's screen ? I just want to see how different it looks. Also, do you suggest I return it to the store and get another one ?

Acer 24" LCD Monitor vs S4
I'll do one of my Surface or TV later.
I made a Pure White image to use for testing on the S4, use it instead of Chrome which uses a grey color in it's UI and for some reason the S4 screen brightness dims on Chrome automatically (and you can't change it). Download it if you want to do comparisons again.
