Pebble blue isn't really blue. The back is blue, but the front is kind of a shade of purple. The home button is the worst, it's a deep purple. It's three different shades of color! >.<
Honestly, the Pebble Blue SGS3 is virtually indistinguishable from black, unless one gives it a close look.

this+1 In most angles when you look at it it is black.......only when you angle it so light is reflecting off the face do you see the blue, and the colors are not all crazy purple and weird like people say.......it looks very high end and professional sitting on the meeting table while the others with their huge thick camoflage and neon Otterbox iPhones look like childrens phones in comparison
Too late for me, I got a white 16GB one for free from Verizon. ( they messed up the Razr with the ICS update. It broke flash player and more)
This will be cool for fan's of black and I would likely want black, but I kind of like to have white just one time at lest.
Buy All type of Androide Mobile and Tablets in Wholesale price.
thanks for info
Thank you for your sharing.
fuark! would trade my white 16gb for a black one!
Wish they came out with all the colors up front I wanted the red one too bad its just for att

Not me, this is my first white device and I freaking love it.
LOL, after looking at the white G3's that all the girls I work with are using I'm awful glad I held out & waited for the blue..........
Well, having seen the pictures of the black model and the blue mode in person there is definitely distinguishable difference in color. The black S3's color is dark and rich while the pebble blue looks more purple which is why I opted for the white S3. I was hoping a black model would have been released first.

When you start the app, at the xda splach screen is the bronze / red colour the same across the whole screen or is it like a gradient getting lighter towards the top left?
Just wondering if my screen is duff but maybe I'll be better downloading a screen test app.

No, nothing wrong with your screen for that reason. Just loaded xda and it does change shades from top to bottom.
If you think there's issue with the screen, google search for a photographic color calibration image, that should give you a good image to check with.
Thanks. I thought that was the case as I haven't seen this problem in any other apps or when using the phone normally. Still a relief to hear though!
no clue, i have set mine to DARK theme to safe power.
but when i look at a BLANK WHITE page, the 2 bottom corners just above the 4 soft buttons have a weird purplish gradient, which did not exist in Galaxy S
but that is due the Concave screen design
Mines on dark also but I'm talking about the splash screen that shows on starting the app - whether light or dark theme selected.
No such purple tint here.
The xda splash screen gradient looks a little banded because of the pentile sub pixel layout of the amoled screen. Nothing really wrong with your screen, that's just the way it is with these screens. It's a trade off.
Don't think I'm seeing banding, it's just the fact the xda splash screen tends to lighten as it gets to the top left of the screen.
From what others have said this seems normal though so. I'm not concerned.
Ah got it, I mis read. Yeah I think that's normal.
This is slightly off topic but relevant to the xda app. When I first view a new thread using the app, it always jumps either to the last page or a random page. Or if the thread is only one page long, it starts halfway down the thread. Again this is for new threads I've never viewed before. Anyone else experiencing this or know how I can fix this?
Thanks!

Yep seeing this too and never quite worked out the pattern / reason.

on the Nexus S
i have a very nice and smooth dark brown to light brown gradient going from bottom right to top left
on the Galaxy S
the same gradient looks like chopped, chunky, banded, it's like looking at a picture in 16bit color (SGS) vs 32bit color (SNS)

That's originally what I meant with my post cause I see the banding on my screen too. It should be identical since these screens are literally identical I believe.
that's what i would like to know as well.. i was left when i did the comparison
Is there any way to change the color calibration on the display? I want to raise the blue levels because I'm a bigger fan of a cool color tone and the whites on the g2x are more than an off white. (compared to my mt4g with good lcd where whites are bright white)
I have heard about the color calibration hack for the nexus one but I don't know if it'll work on the leaded gingerbread ROM from paul o'brien
If you don't know what I'm talking about go to the color settings on your computer monitor or tv and change from "cool" to "normal". The g2x is more like the normal setting while i like the cool setting better.
I posted a link already. There is a calibration tool in the Nexus One forums that you can use. I don't think the G2x needs it though. Mine looks natural.

I'm fine with all the colors except for white, I'm a bigger fan of a more bluish white like on the iphone.
I'll give the nexus one thing a try but i think a bunch of people who tried it on the g2x it force closed. Not sure about the leaked gb rom though so I'll try it and report back
the flash aborted because it says amend scripting is no longer supported since android 1.5?
I also tried installing both apk's and they both force close when I try to do anything
pretty sure you have to be on cm7 for it to work
Is it just my specific device or are the whites on this phone not really true white but more like off-white? If u compare it to the mytouch 4g with good lcd there's a big difference. Although this device does have truer blacks.

Every LCD is different. Even if the phones are the same model. Mine has a bit of a red tint when showing white but its only noticeable if I look at it next to my Vibrant.

I know different phones have different color tones but I just wanted to know if it was just my device where whites weren't true white because some people have been talking about a yellow or orange tint. I'm expecting a replacement phone to arrive next week so I guess I'll do a comparison when it arrives.
Looks fine to me, but really I'm all about resolution. Colors can vary and sounds can be medium quality and I probably won't notice a difference.

Meaning if you took a number of G2x and put them side by side none of them would be completely identical. So its not just you that has a slightly off screen.

Well thats why I want to change the color settings because the high levels of red in the whites are really bothering me.
There is a similar thread already, but the OP over there can't add a poll
Here is a poll , just for fun and the curiosity
Here you got a small video comparison till this beast hit the showrooms:

That video is what sold me on black. The horizontal bands don't appear to be as prominent as the grey was on the Note 2.
But you didn't vote :laugh:

Yeah, I was going to get the white one until I seen that same video. The phone looks like color with the screen off, which I like.
I just think it's a shame, they didn't start with blue or red instead of that pink..
Perhaps they know better .... nah .......

It's only 12 votes so far, but I think the preference is already clear..
Can't imagine any other color catching up ....
.
I wish there was a grayish/silver color with a dark gray bezel, just like on my Titanium Note 2
But Jet Black will do ....
.
.
i went with the Jet Black as well...
Not a big fan of white phones, remind me of iphones and give apple fanboys another reason to say samsung copies apple. I wish samsung would do away with the white and do a nice slate/gray instead. Heck they got pink so why not....
My note 2 is white and i love it so note 3 also will be on white...
I had a white Note 2 and currently own a white S4 and white Galaxy Camera. I think they look really great but I fancy a change now and black looks better with the leather effect. I also think you get better screen contrast with the a black bezel.
I'm getting a black one.
Reason: It's black
I see that 5 ladies voted...
Just joking :laugh:
.
Black for me. After seeing that video, I just think it looks better in black than in whit or pink.
The Galaxy Gear is Mocha Gray...
Since I am not in hurry of buying the Note3 ( eventually I will), I hope that till then there will be a Gray kinda of Titanium colored Note3 too ...
.
Black or darker bezels are way cooler
The back cover usually gets a case anyways
Does the black actually help to set the screen apart from the bezel as the video stated?
I'm really divided between black and white, and I'm trying to find a good reason to choose one over the other.

Black creates a better contrast against all the bright colors (this is why the display on white phones pop more when the screen is OFF). It makes the display pop more. The "black" however is not really a black. It's a darker grey-scale color than the titanium note 2, with the same horizontal striping but not as prominent. No doubt it will make the display pop more than white though. In light, the white is conceptually brighter than the display.
Hey peeps, I'm on the verge of buying a a nexus 5 but i'm in two minds about which colour version to buys(black vs red), I've heard the red version is too bright?
Thanks in advance if you can help out

It's all personal preference. I don't like bright, flashy phones so I always opt for black. I think they just look cooler and more techy.
White. It looks like it wouldn't be nice. But in person. It'd the best damn white phone I've ever owned
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
I love my red one, it IS a bright red tho, especially when its in the sunlight. Black and red are my colors and this phone is a sexy blend of them i think lol. I've already got a lot of compliments on it. They're probably going to be a lot harder to get though I would imagine. Whites are in stock almost all the time, blacks sometimes out of stock, red is very new so hardly in stock at all still. I really lucked out when i got mine.

Well there's your answer OP. "What color is best?" is always subjective. Internally they are the same. Pick the one that suits you.
So I have no idea how no one has noticed or mentioned about this feature in the new Moto X Pure Edition but it has a new feature under display settings called "Color Mode" where you can now choose between "normal" and "vibrant" screen colors.
Since they moved this year from AMOLED to TFT LCD this year I guess they wanted to give us an option to choose from
Here is the phone
Do you see a big difference between the two? Which do you prefer? My pure was delivered this morning but I'm away and won't get it till Monday ?

It comes on Vibrant as default. At first, when I changed it to normal, it looked a little flat, but after a while I could live with it. But I left it on vibrant anyways, coming from saturated amoled screens in the past, I'm pretty much used to it.

Normal looks a little flat and less attractive than the vibrant setting in my opinion
Vibrant uses more battery I believe.

He has the black/dark trim
So I will say after switching between modes for the past couple days, on and off. Vibrant mode is definitely the better color mode. With normal the colors seem more washed out and whiter, while vibrant makes the colors darker and less white, while at the same time making the whites whiter(if that makes sense)

Depends on what your definition of better is. The normal mode provides more accurate colors than vibrant mode, nearly matching my 2015 MacBook Pro. Most people are just used to oversaturated screens, especially those coming from AMOLED screens, so they will probably prefer the vibrant mode. I'm just glad Motorola gave us the option because everyone has their own preference between accurate and sexy and this way we can all be happy.
This is true, I will agree with you there
I prefer more accurate color reproduction within the limits of the display technology. My eyes hurt when dealing with high contrast screens. But superficially, "vibrant" will seem better, just like how people will gravitate towards the TVs in a store with the higher contrast and brighter colors even if it's just a setting. Having had a couple TVs professionally calibrated in the past, I'm not into artificially adding more color than exists normally. Vibrant probably crushes blacks too.
Saturated just has more punch and seems more contrasty. I refer color accuracy. The blacks are probably blacker on normal mode, just the whites don't get as bright so the blacks lose their depth. Speaking from experience in general, and not having moto x in hand experience.
