Does the lack of resolution bother anyone else? Dont get me wrong, the GS phones have amazing screens and beautiful colors, and was happy to move to the E4GT from the Evo, but the jaggies are killing me!
I've viewed two other phones, and all three have been about the same. It is definitely something that most people wouldn't complain about but i know there's got to be others that share my disdain.
Edge of icons, subtle shading, and the very noticeable grid pattern on a mid-gray screen are what catch my eye.
This wasn't meant to be a rant, just wanted to see if anyone else notices what seems to have been corners cut by stretching this screen over the international version.
Comments, hate mail, patches/fixes are all welcome. lol

At first I didn't like it (coming from the photon and evo3d) but now Im used to it. I really don't have a problem with it anymore. I do like the size.
love the colors on the AMOLED, prefer the QHD resolution though

You can get an app to change your LCD density if you want.

Changing the density doesn't fix it, may make it less apparent, but its still there.
Is there a technical reason the pixel grid is so noticeable?

I don't see any pixelation some people are complaining about. Most people zoom in to make images bigger on these phones anyways but I don't have to do that with this phone because of it's screen size.
Notice a difference between the two? Can anyone post up the Verizon version? If you look at the two together, the GSM version doesn't pop as much.

thank you. I just wanna know. Have you guys noticed that?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Do you actually have the wallpaper or are you just looking at a picture of the screen?
the (stock) pictures of the Z model are photos-hoped/rendered.
wait until you see a hands-on with the device with that wallpaper. and than see if there is indeed a difference.
though i doubt there is.

Oooo look, a double rainbow. Woooooooow!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I noticed the same thing. I think maybe the ones in the ads were enhanced. Either way I have seen the wallpaper before. Looks like they a couple of these and modified them: www hongkiat com/blog/30-impressive-colour-spectrum-and-rainbow-wallpapers/
So I got a spare housing from ebay and painted it red along with the original battery door.
Lemme know your veiws guys

Anybody needs help painting there gnex , feel free to ask here.
Take 2
pictures attached.
used - Duplicolor Vinyl/Fabric spray and adhesion promoter.
Steps
wet sand the body and battery cover with 800 grit sandpaper until all paint on the housing is gone (will take some time) and the samsung and google logo on battery back is black (will also take some time).
A layer of adhesion promoter, left to dry for 10 minutes
followed by 5-6 layers of Duplicolor at interwals of 20 mins each.
after final coat leave to dry for 4 hours and we are good.

Maybe it's because of the blurry pictures, but the paint looks a bit dull. Other than that I can tell you took great care in painting it, I mean, it certainly looks like it is very well done.
