Our screens ? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So are our screens any good? I've had a vibrant before and a nexus s and now that I think about it the vibrants screen seems the best out of these 3 but the reason I was thinking about it is this girl I work with has a Samsung stratosphere and I put her phone up to mime both display on brightest and her colors were popping and more bright . I though these were all the same screens but I'm disappointed in this screen personally. Love the phone absolutely but what do you guys think.

The colors pop because the colors are over saturated like crazy.

This ^^.. For a while I thought I had a bad display because my colors didn't pop that much but then I realized some GN devices are over saturated...which is not necessarily a good thing.

So can you elaborate more? If it looks better I don't see why it matters why , it still looks better...

Our HD Super Amoled displays have more of a neutral color than say a Super Amoled + display where colors pop a tad more because the displays are over saturated. Our displays seem to deliver more natural colors but I've come to notice some GN devices are over saturated and just don't look natural. It's always a matter of preference...so yea it doesn't really matter.

It might look better in some situations but when you over saturate colors there are always negative impacts

This is the 4 time I've heard that but no one can say how or why lol...

I turned on my Sensation yesterday (with its SLCD screen) and it's nothing compared to the Nexus. It's like night and day
Seriously

I believe the Franco kernel has the option to modify that color saturation. A lot of what you are perceiving too varies wildly with the brightness level. Seems more muted at low brightness and more oversaturated at max brightness

So you think that inaccurate colors are inherently as good as accurate colors? Oversaturation is a negative effect, period. You're not seeing the image as its creator intended you to see it. It's that simple.

Pixel density is quite different on Galaxy S and Nexus, which is likely why you never noticed it. Instead you could notice other things on Galaxy S and Nexus, such as the problems with Pen Tile with detail visibility on screen.

[Q] Is there something about ice that makes it almost themeless?

Is there something about this version of android that makes it almost themeless? Or is it just a lack of themers?

Pretty much this. Gingerbread and previous were, frankly, not very good looking. ICS is very well designed and thought out (though there are definitely inconsistencies in styles between apps, still).
Well I agree it is very well designed, but the colors could get rather boring. It would be nice to switch it out.

There are lots of themes for the Nexus, although their UI was very well thought out to begin with.

"With Google" was a prototype. I prefer the nexus logo.
Looks fairly similar to the current nexus

Dealbreaker will be the notification light and price of course. Let's do this

What do you mean notification light being a deal breaker? It was confirmed to have one weeks ago and if you don't want it, just disable it?
A notification light is far from anything that could deal break me.

Yes, lets use metal so I can have dents in my phone...
can't they make it even thinner? It looked so much like nexus, even with improved cpu it won't make it any smoother.

Dents is overrated. I'm not using them and my phone is running well.

Metal was so 2009. With newer, lighter and tougher materials like carbon fiber, you aren't going to see many more phones with any type of metal in them. Yes, regular "plastic" can have a cheap feel. But there are lots of newer process we are seeing on these materials that can give it a high quality look and even better feel than metal. Even so, I don't think the Nexus 4 displays much of a high quality look to it. My guess is Google is trying to keep the costs down to make it affordable in the Play Store.
headphone jack on the top? pooof mind bloooooown!

Its like a fat Galaxy Nexus, the current GN looks much cooler, but with the specs of the LG N4 you can forgive it

Problem is unless its released in that color option from the get go then most don't get it.

looks like its just black/chrome and the lighting of the white table is reflecting.

Looks just as bad as the white GNex with that half/half combo instead of having the front painted properly white.

Thank god I'm not the only one who feels this way. I was wondering if there was anyone else who can't stand that.
Not white

I'll stick with black when it comes to Nexus phones. It just looks so damn sleek when it all blends in with the screen and absolutely no carrier/manufacture branding.
Please discuss other phones in the Sticky in General
Thanks

Blacks not completely dark

Hey guys I got the S4 on launch and after comparing the screen to my S3 I noticed on the S4 the blacks were as if the screen was off while the S3s blacks were lit up. What gives? I thought on the s3 the blacks should also look off ? I never noticed it before.

Well the s3 and the s4 have very different screens in general. I have noticed this as well. Loving the s4 screen though!

I literally can't tell a difference on my s3 between black and screen off
But it would make sense that oled screen technology has change some what in the last year...

Well I know they use a different pixel arrangement but I think that's it. Its still amoled. I wonder if after a year of use something burned in that's why the blacks still light up
