I tested the Galaxy Note 2's Camera and I found out that it also showed that when the background is a bright surface it showed the same effect as the iPhone Camera. It showed the purple rays of light. I tried it in front of the sun and it actually had the effect!

I just bought my new Galaxy Note 2 yesterday and it's amazing so far, but I noticed an issue:
Whenever I take a picture with the front facing camera, the result of the shot seems to have very low brightness. The camera seems fine before you take the picture, but once taken it seems much darker when viewing it in the Gallery. The picture resolution and quality is set to the highest available. Is this normal or is this a specific hardware issue with my FF camera?
Anyone?
The front camera defaults to 1.3 mpx... Make sure you use it to 1.9 mpx

So I got a Galaxy S lying around and decided to compare their screens. Note 2 screen is not as bright as Galaxy S and the colour is not exactly white:
Both screens are at maximum brightness and I've tried all 4 Tone settings of Note 2 under Display settings.
Do you think that is a defect and a good reason to return the phone?
I did some testing and concluded that it's only the white colour that looks washed out and with a hint of pink. I've tested with Galaxy S, iPhone 4 & Nokia 5800 and Note 2 looks the best in my eyes. What do you think?
100% Brightness. Note 2 Screen Mode = Standard. Auto Adjust screen tone = OFF

No I don't, maybe those brightness & color differences are sort of tweaks to reduce battery consumption

I would be happy if anyone can post comparison shots, so I don't feel bad about my phone
You'll see a big improvement in the Note 2 screen if you go to Settings>Display>Auto Adjust Screen Tone and then uncheck the box
Already done that - still not as bright and white as Galaxy S.
Your pics didn't show up earlier, but looking at them now that's a massive difference!
My suggestion would be to take it to a shop and compare with a few others.
I don't have any other Samsung phones to compare mine too but I do think it goes brighter than that, and looks less pink.

Well pal, I don't have good camera atm to take a shot of my screen and my iP 5's. But I can surely say that the 'white' colour in Note II is NOT white, while it is perfectly fine on my iP 5. My previous Samsung was a Galaxy S II and it wasn't white too. But I had a Samsung Wave S8500, which had perfectly fine 'white'. I don't know what's Samsung is doing lately but whatever it is I don't like it.
PS: Just one thing you could do, just tilt the phone screen at 45º angle with your eyes and see, you will see the max white from your Note 2, which isn't the case if you look at it from a 90º angle, like you did on those photos.
This is why I use Screen Adjuster and Blue to +7, I like bluish white lot more than yellowish or pinkish white.

I'm going to a shopping mall tomorrow to compare it with 2-3 other Notes and if I see a difference I'll just get a new one from my operator - they were more than happy to exchange.

Yeah I noticed that too - watching it at an angle makes the white look better. maybe it's just how the screen was designed. Who knows. One thing is sure - in one month I won't notice anything, cause I'll just get used to the colour representation.
My note 2 screen appears to be blurry as compared to my note 1 altough rich colors.

Maybe you have a bad screen. Because comparing to my dad's note 1, the note 2 screen is clearly better.
Also mines quite crisp for an amoled

that doesnt really explain it. note 2 may have lower pixel density, but it makes up for it with an overall higher subpixel density, which is the reason why our note 2 screens are sharper than our note 1 screens. theres less blurring of pixels because of the full rgb matrix on the note 2 compared to the pentile display of the note 1 where adjacent subpixels were borrowed.
pls help me to fixed my blurry screen samsung galaxy note II. i dropped in water of stlesst 4 sec. snd when i turn on blurred
I have a note 2 3g and i love it,when i today took a benchmark, the sgs 3 was a bit faster at 3d, other then that the note 2 was faster, not by much but faster then my sgs 3.
What i noticed was the sgs 3 has a sharper screen and i thought wtf (surprised mee) the note 2 has a non pentile screen, rgb screen (that's surpose to be superior to a pentile screen).
What's you experience about the screens,sgs 3 vs sgs note 2, pentile vs rgb? (is the sgs 3 screen sharper then a note 2?)
I use a copter screenproctor on both my sgs 3 and note 2, i noticed a lot of very tiny red dots between the screen and the screen protection on my note 2 (started using my phone before the 12 hours they say i have to wait, before using my phone), most noticible on a bright bagground as if theres still some microscopic leftovers of the aplication fluid, that i used when i applied the screen protection (can't remember if i had the problem with my htc legend,sgs 1 and sgs 2 where i used an invisible shield to protect my screen for scratches)
Is there any way i can make those tiny red dots go away?
The screen on the Note II has a slightly lower PPI compared to the S III (267 vs. 306, respectively) which is why it may look slightly less sharp, however the RGB matrix on the Note II should make things look clearer overall.
The red dots that your seeing sound like a side effect of your screen protector in my opinion, with those kind of screen protectors it can take up to a week for the application fluid to completely dry and for any "micro" air bubbles to work their way out.
For more information on the differences between the Note II and S III's displays and the PenTile vs. RGB matrices, see this article: http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-2-vs-galaxy-s3-display-comparison-rgb-pentile-121182/
I'm just curious what everyone's settings are for their phone.
I've been told and read that the note 2 has an exceptional camera. I just don't feel that my pictures come out looking that great mainly in the house at night with just a light on or something.
I don't feel the sensors pull in enough light or ill have some white shade added to my pictures etc.
Just trying to get the best out of my camera.
Please help.

You will never get great pictures inside at night with just candle light or soft lighting. You may get OK pictures, but never great. Try uring the low light feature and or the HDR feature.
You should the download and install Snapseed to improve the OK photos to make the half decent.
I have an old Canon Eos D60 and that does not produce great pictures in the same conditions unless I use a tripod and a very long exposure. Even then the pictures are very grainy and show lots of artifacts in the shadows.
I hope this helps you understand the limitations of the camera so that you can get the most out of it.
