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.

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.
Don't worry about hijacking the thread, my question was answered long ago

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
Hello friends,
Today only i have received my Tab2 7.0 and i am finding some yellowish tinge in display especially in White areas. Anyone else faced this problem ?
Thanks
remove the plastic screen protector, make sure it's not dead pixel (mostly dust inside the plastic screen protector)
if it's dead pixel then you should claim RMA warranty to samsung service center
Oh.....can this Plastic Screen Protector has so much effect
No as yet haven't noticed any dead pixels. Warranty i think is void because of flash counter

dead pixel doesn't means it's muse be black color, (if it's black without emitting light/RGB-color, then it's probably just a dust)
I've dead pixel in my laptop and the color is Reddish-Blue when displaying white scene on monitor.
The pixel contain 3 color (Red, Green, Blue), so in my case should be the Green-subpixel is died.
In your case (Yellowish tinge), probably because the Blue-subpixel is dead.
because Yellow color is produced by combining Red & Green color only (without Blue)
White color is produced by combining Red-Green-Blue subpixel all together, so you must test your screen under white scene (eg: in browser, white text editor, or program can detect dead pixel on the android market)
Oh man ! You got some in-depth knowledge about the subject.
Can you plz tell name of that app ?
Thanks once again !
I also have this yellowish tint display issue on my new tab 2 7.0. Most noticeable in white backgrounds, such as Settings or in Play store, or in the web browser. It's pretty yellowish. And overall the display looks washed out. I thought this is a PLS display..? Same as original galaxy tab 10.1? My original Gtab 10.1 has a much vibrant colors, and this one is really washed out and again, the yellowish tint on white backgrounds.
Is this normal? Is this not a PLS display? Do I have a defective device? Should I exchange it for another one (I prefer not to if it's definitely normal, but will def do if this is not normal).
Thanks for your help!
Could someone please answer to my post?
Anybody who has the tab 2 7.0 must have answer to my question if they also have yellowish tint or not..more technical answer would be also helpful.
Thanks.
Anyone???
I'm debating on exchanging it or not as I'm going to the place I bought it tomorrow. I already have everything set up on this device, so want to know if is is actually defective screen.
Some reviews say that the screen is vibrant, while some others say that it is washed out or yellowish. One review says they hear people complaining that the screen has yellow hue, but they don't have it on their device. I don't know who's right..I did search on this forum, and saw other people complaining too, but not much replies in any of the threads and one person said it must be the screen protector, but I don't have any screen protector on.....
Any help would be appreciated.

If you don't like it, return it. Or, at least you could look at another unit at the store and see if it's consistent.

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.

Just purchased a brand new Galaxy S6 32GB FLAT in white today. Right out of the box, especially on a white background, I noticed that the bottom half of the screen shifts into a more warmer tone. It's most visible on a white background, where i can actually see the transition between the two colour tones. Other colours are affected too, but not as noticeable. Please refer to the attached screenshots, (Ignore the diagonal lines running across the screen, caused by the camera artefact).
My question is, is it normal? Can you please check yours and provide feedback? Thanks in advance
I have the same
Its a common issue. But it shouldnt be like that. You should get a replacement

Dude this isnt severe. Ive seen enough amoled displays having worse tints and stripes. Yours is much better than them. If I was you, I wouldnt settle for this. Replace it or get a refund. I have severe ocd about my phone. I need it to be perfect. Luckily the S6 that I have has a very good display. A perfect one. Get a replacement asap. This isnt something normal.
Im ordering my 2nd replacemeny soon. My first one was yellowish and uneven like yours. My current one has a horrible pink tint. Try 3
Welcome to the club: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/getting-replacement-s6-due-to-screen-t3074865
I took my phone back to the Samsung store and got it replaced by the manager there. The screen looked fine when i first looked at it in store, but soon after taking it home i realised that this second unit has a yellowish tint on the right side of the screen. Going back tomorrow for another replacement.... SIGH!!!!!
My third replacement from the Samsung Exp Store is.... a KEEPER! This unit has a much better even backlight and meets my expectation! After going through that trouble, i'm happy to say that I'm a a happy camper

Looks all right to me, but then again we all perceive things differently. My current unit is not perfect, there's still a green/blue tint to it, but it's tolerable. If you cannot tolerate it, then keep exchanging until you find one that you can tolerate with. Keep in mind though that you won't find a unit with 100% even colour hue; it's the limitation with AMOLED displays. All the best!
I have the same issue
I have the same, but much less severe than yours seem to be. I don't notice it at all with normal use, only super slightly on bright white screens. If it really looks like it does on the photo, I would get it replaced.

Light bars on black wallpaper
I have the following issue on black wallpapers.On top and bottom there is a lighter bar.This appears only after applying the wallpaper.Viewing them with Quickpick there are no bars.Same in Nova and TW after applying it.Tried attaching a screen but the bars are not captured.What could it be,a ROM issue,a low DPI?I have the DPI set to low.Also on brighter pics you can't see the bars ,after applying which makes sense.
White uniformity - Is this the jelly effect and is it normal?
I got a really good deal on a used Tab S6 from Amazon and I love the tablet but there is weird tinting thing happening on white screens.
When viewed slightly off-axis the tint goes blue.
Makes me nuts when reading NY TImes and edges of white screen are tinted blue.
The effect changes when viewed at different angles and seen without screen protector. It is tough to photograph but hopefully you can see what I see.
Ignore the moire in the middle of the first shot - that's a screen protector... Look at extreme edges of screen.
Thanks and pardon me if this has been answered before - I've searched and couldn't find this issue.
Hello guys!
Today, after comparing two galaxy s8 plus I noticed that my display, looks a little bit yellow than white. Just the white color, it's not so white... Not sure how to explain it. On the other galaxy, the white is white, like have to, mine look a little bit "yellowish". On both device display settings are not touched. Do you think I should take it to service? Or is just software issue?

Did you accidently turn in blue filter? There's a toggle for it and I've seen people hit it by mistake.

I didn't touch anything. I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTQr6VwMfBI on youtube. So basically Samsung cant make the same color screen on every device? But how can I fix this? Maybe if move the red option in display settings?
Do you think if the white is not white, this means the rest colors are not shown properly also?
