Exactly as said above, the entire Galaxy Nexus seems to be white, the digitialzer (which was always black before) is white also. Looks like a choppy image however, anyone bought it/planning on getting it and able to post pics?

The Expansys solds phone worldwide,and even Japanese buy some "imported" phones at their country.
Well,I suggest contact for more information,if U still not trust them,U should not buy.
That's all.
Expansys is a very well known website looks legit to me. You can always call to make sure its not an error/inaccurate picture.

Don't think this phone exists... I feel like they just accidentally took one of the photos that was made when the first rumors of the white model came out.
It may or may not exist. They could have colored it themselves, and are selling it off as completely white, or it's like martonikaj said.
Do not check "yes this is a question" unless you are posting in Q&A.
I took the [Q] out of the title since this is a more general topic
Thanks

We definitely did not color it ourselves However, we are discontinuing them. Have a few more than backordered on the way in, but then we wont be offering them anymore.

Hi Corey, thanks for responding.
Just curious, where did you get fully white GNs? I thought they were never manufactured? Is this the work of a third party custom job?
it says the item is discontinued to me
If you check YouTube, you'll see several reviews of full-white Gnex's. It's legit, apparently.

I'm not saying that they're scammers or anything, I'm asking if people have actually seen this, or that its a fake picture, and will come white like other Galaxy Nexii. U should use "you", that is all.

We get them from a few different suppliers actually. I've never opened one myself. It will be back live on the site shortly, for the few remaining ones. We bought a large amount on a closeout, and then got enough to cover our orders + a few extra. Seems someone discontinued it a bit to early so we fixed it. Will come back online soon.
I wonder who made them. They must be custom built... right?

White case, black face
I'm looking right this second at the white GN I bought from Expansys. The body of the phone is white (and gorgeous, might I add), while the front face is black. The photo on Expansys showed an entirely white phone, but I just assumed it was an incorrect photo. (And I was right.)
And, for what it's worth, it came with a UK (I believe? Definitely not standard USA) charger, and an adapter to fit it into a standard USA outlet.
Since it looks like one of the Expansys fellas is in this thread, thanks a lot. Really enjoying my purchase :]

I'm glad my purchase served a greater purpose than simply satisfying my annual gadget refresh compulsion :]
The photo on their page really is sort of confusing. But, given how many black-and-white shots and reviews I saw, I sort of went with Occum's Razor.
Really minor point, but definitely one that confused me for a bit too.
FWIW...I just ordered one the other day and it is white body with black face. I was hoping for something unique. But oh well. Still a pretty phone.
Awwww I was pretty excited as well.
Oh well, just buy a white skin and it'll look the same.

Hey so I just got a I747 and I am loving it! The problem is it came in blue/it didn't come with a back door battery cover (I only paid $290 for it too!). Well I don't really like the pebble blue scheme, and prefer the white GS3. So I have been looking for the white housing and I have found it for the i9300, but will it fit the i747? One reason I am asking this is because AT&T uses the micro sim card on the i747, but does the i9300 also use a micro sim slot or a regular sim slot?
Here is a link the listing.

I'm also interested in this. I bought the wife the white I9300 a few months back, I have a Red I747 in route and if I can I'd like to switch the housings for her so she can keep her international model and send the AT&T on back to my mom to use since we don't have 4G where we live. :good:

I can confirm that Yes the i9300 uses the micro SIM.
I'd yield to the more experienced folks on here about the casing being different. I'm sure if you dig around on Google you can find someone who will sell stickers to change the appearance or you can always put a case on it. Besides, unless you're really good, that's the type of hardware surgery that can become an epic fail!
Well here is a close-up of my i9300, they look the same to me.

Shouldn't be all that hard, just be careful because the plastic frame beneath the back cover holds the antennas, so a poorly fitted install or accidental jostling of the wrong parts on the motherboard can ruin the reception of the phone.

$269 for the international white and blue.
$219 for the atnt red.
Shipping can take a little while but I've bought from this place before with no complaints.

UPDATE:
I bought the screen with the frame attached. It didn't work because the frame has a placement house for the processor, and the processor changes place from american to international version.
In sum, it didn't work and I'm gonna return it and get a screen without frame. Hopefully that works
UPDATE 2:
Bought a new screen without frame.
When removing my old screen following this method: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_70-W9JjVjg&feature=youtu.be
I noticed that my old screen had printed on it: I9300
This confirms that the screen is the same for all versions of the Galaxy S3, because otherwise it would say SGH-T999, right?

[REQ]Any developer that could help me with something? I want to make this app matching system UI with ready filters and put it in Setting so that it will look integrated like the galaxy screen settings, that would help ppl think the screenproblem is just a soft problem and doesn't depend on hardware. Please be kind and PM me
As many have noticed, and even made some ppl crazy is the yellow tint on our screen(HTC One X, Xperia Ion, S etc).
Searching for screen filtering at play store made my day!
Then i found this app: LINK
I installed it and then made a filter with:
Red 0
Green 0
Blue 6-8
Brightness: 100%
Contrast: -0
That made me feel like replacing the whole screen!
Second thing you should do is:
Press the MENU-button and go in to Options
Autorun [YES]
Hide status bar icon [YES]
Enjoy your screen! :victory:

Hmm, these problems happened to some people i know who bought the HOX at release, or close to release. The manufaturers sent them a letter with apology and that they have the right to claim a new device if they return them.
Some had extreme color defects, others had very sesitive screens(tapping on the side would make the screen look like when tapping on a LCD TV, color disorder).
What you have is not the default yellow tint i meant, our screens if you compare to others is a bit more yellow by default, you have some kind of disorder, either you should return it for service or you should try this app: LINK

Unfortunately, I had yellow tint issue too. Since it was a hardware problem, I waited 3 weeks for the technical service to change the entire screen.

Friend, you have the right to claim a full refund or replacement in two years since you bought the phone, and you have ALL RIGHTS to get it fixed
What´s best to do:
Take your reciept and phone to your seller and describe the problems you've got, they will by force take it back and fix the problem totally for free!
If they refuse to fix the problem, then you should turn to the consumer advisors in your country as the right is by your side, but Im sure you wont have to

hi , i recently bought a note 4 off of kijiji. i just realized that the box it came in was the fake box where it says n910 on the bottom left corner, yet when i check odin its all in english and shows n910-a, see the attachment, the phone on the left is my coworkers who got one from rogers ( local carrier here in Toronto Canada), mine is on the right side. when i try to run antutu benchmark i get 42-44000 points. the stylus looks like the original stylus but it doesnt activate air command when it comes out, i tried my friends stylus and it worked fine, cpuz shows that i have a snapdragon 805 processor and 32gigs of memory (24ish usable). did i get screwed or what? oh i checked the camera settings and its the same as on my friends camera, and it shows samsung logo during startup. i can take more pictures if anyone else needs it.. also i just noticed a tiny amount of backlight bleed from the bottom right corner where the screen meets the frame.
They look the same to me. Hard to tell, although the batteries look different for sure.
i watched this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoCdjzEDQ5U
now here is what is confusing me :
1. my friends stylus pen is the same as mine, his will turn on air command and mine wont in either. ( bad pen?)
2. my camera settings are the exact same as his,
3. i have the cheap plastic backcover and his is kinda like leather,
4. i have a tiny amount of backlight bleed between the frame and back button on the bottom right corner.
5. cpuz shows that i have snapdragon 805 processor
6. baseband version shows as a legit phone.
see attachment below i took a screenshot of the about phone section
its like a bought a real note 4 that didnt pass quality control and got put in a fake note 4 box lol
You checked s pen settings for the air command?

yes it is all on, my s pen looks exactly the same as his except its a tad bit lighter, it does not look like the fake one, mine wont work in his or mine ( the air command part, the actual pen itself works on the touchscreen) his s pen is detected by my phone and air command works fine on my phone.
did another antutu benchmark, 48000 was score.
One of the tell-tale signs that I started checking for a fake phone was A) processor (which you said was verified to be SD805?), and B) screen resolution. To actually check the resolution quickly and easily, take a screenshot, then open the screenshot in gallery, view info, and see the resolution. Typically fake phones come with 720p screens cuz they're dirt cheap. A 1440 screen, not so much. Maybe take a camera pic as well and do the same and verify the resolution of the image matches what its supposed to be as well (16MP).
I bought an International GS5 last summer off Swappa to use on ATT and be unlockable bootloader. Got the phone and immediately noticed weird things similar to you. Then checked the items I just told you about.... my screen resolution was actually 720 rather than 1080, my camera was only taking 5MP images, my processor was listed as 'unknown', and I had a random build number that there was no record of online. Kinda weird when your phone's build, when put into a google search, comes up with ZERO hits.
