Are you a troll? The screen is HD Super AMOLED+, the best there is right now.

No, the screen is Super AMOLED HD. There is no + because its Pentile.
Also, its less "smooth" shall we say, than my Droid Charge which was Plus, I'll agree there.
But the overall density makes it good enough, and better than my Fascinate. SIGNIFICANTLY better than any qHD screen I've used on a Motorola.
Just my two cents. Maybe you got a bad phone? Or maybe you really are just a troll...

HD Super Amoled actually.
But it does seem this person is a troll.
And I haven't noticed any screen issues on my Verizon GN.

Our screen is 1280 x 720, Razr's is 960 x 540.

The screen doesn't come close to my SII but it's not that bad. It's worth it to be away from Sprint.

Sorry guys I had my facts wrong. I t turns out that my screen is defective. Sucks, gotta return it already

What was wrong with your screen? If you don't mind me asking. So far no problems for me, but I want to know what to look for.

I had a persistent green blob on the upper right of the screen of my first Galaxy Nexus. It was quite visible on white and other light backgrounds but difficult to see otherwise.

Sorry for calling you a troll. Your post just seemed very strange since my screen is beautiful. And I just exchanged my Razr today.

Issues with T-Mobile galaxy s3 quality control.

So... I bought my galaxy s3 from tmobile customer service. With a full upgrade I've only paid $ 179 of 16gb.
I've wanted the white one but they were sold out in 16. So I've went ahead and placed a exchange of the 32gb.
The first (white 32gb) had many dust stuck under the sceen... and interfere with the camera as well... so I've called to get me a same but different one that isn't defective this time. (New in box course) now the new one has huge gap on the metal bezel area... I could fit like 5 business card.
So I called again and placed another one...
This time I've told them to put a notation on my account so that the manufacture date is most recent... (both of my defective white phones were made in 7/4/12)
Where as my blue one is perfect...besides the dark pixels.
I really think Samsung's quality control isn't as what they claim to advertise as... I understand that no phones are perfect... but at least do a better job at hiding... lol
So in my opinion I could be getting a bad batch or just unlucky... I will keep you guys updated with my next replacement in white.
Please tell us your experience with similar problems.

No he's not, he's paying for a new product so it shouldn't have any defects or problems. What's the point of a 720p screen if it has dust underneath. My 2 yr old g2 doesn't have any dust whatsoever so why should this.

No ****. How close do you have to have the phone to your face to notice "Dark pixels?"

I wasn't aware that these screen panels could have dust considering the digitizer and screen are fused together. Hmm... :sly:

Mine already has cracks in the bezel, only issue so far. Much better than the Galaxy Nexus screen issues or the first batch of One X ones.

My first one had really weird screen issues (looked like there were fingerprints underneath the screen) but I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary on my second. 32 GB white.

So lets see here. Samsung has probably manufactured what 10 million Galaxy S3's? I would expect some to have issues. Mine has none of these flaws.

The guy shouldn't ***** about it, just exchange the phone. You make millions of phones bound of them a few are going to have flaws... Mass production.. and if you ever worked in quality control you know not EVERY SINGLE product gets checked just a few random ones...

Take it from me you'll get use to it fairly easy, and whoever said they couldn't fit a note in their pocket is lying, I normally wear skinny jeans and never had a issue with the original note. Only thing I will say is that it will look fairly ridiculous holding it up to your ear to talk, but I've never been one to worry about what people say or think, and I got plenty of compliments about the phone on a daily basis while commuting in the city.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

im very interested in this and conflicted on what to do...
i never even held the original note, but i dont mind the bigger size at all... the more the better to me, and with those specs, wooooo...
might have to hold onto one in the store before deciding what to do...

One thing I'm looking forward to is the stylus, I haven't had one since the touch pro 2, I liked it a lot. Less fingerprints, but I don't like how it's on the Bottom? why would they make it come out of the bottom, it's going to wear out and simply fall out eventually... kinda stupid but whatever...

Yup, I'll be selling my S2 and S3 to pick one up as soon as they come out!

I think it looks cool, you can only see it from certain angles so it's a really nice subtle touch.

I like how it doubles as a disco ball for those times when I need one.

I heard there's a mod that lets you use the display's backlighting to illuminate the back cover in various patterns for that purpose.

I think that on android police there was pre review. They took some photos and said, the back isn't that sparkly. Marketing photos over exaggerate back panel...

I agree it's design looks creepy, metaphorically speaking.
IMO the Nexus 4 looks like a fake Gnex, but I'm sure it's looks will grow on me.

Well, to my mind, the idea of those dots on back side is good, it looks new and unusual (I mean new in the mobile phone world, generally it reminds some old Chinese toys), but for me it has some significant shortcomings:
straight. Galaxy Nexus has a kind of wave there, and a small hill at the bottom helped to grab it more confident, this one appears to be hold only due to glass-to-skin rubbing;
glass. If you don't like fingerprints and tried to clean the front side of GN every time after touching it, now you have to clean both sides and you just cannot hold it without setting you fingerprints everywhere.
feel. Cold glass is going to feel much more impersonal and indifferent, than the GN's plastic, even if it is not soft-touch.
So I would say it looks more weird, than creepy.

Don't worry. Once it gets dropped a couple times the sparkley look will change to the shattered look.

The only creepy part is when you drop it the wrong way; the dots will be replaced by jagged lines.

Well the back glass is supposed to be a Lil sunk in from the band around it.... not sure if that matters. So when it lays on the table the glass won't be touching it. So maybe it will protect it somewhat

Thoughts on the LGOG

I came from the Galaxy S3. Traded for the Optimus yesterday. So far I love it! I do tons of gaming and it feels so much smoother than my S3 did. The keyboard is the ONLY issue I have found so far, it has a very hard time keeping up with me. Lol. What's your thoughts on the most powerful phone in 'Murica?

check out SwiftKey 3 if you're looking for a legitimately good keyboard, its prediction and auto correction features are ridiculously good.
as for the phone, I've got to say it's the best phone I've ever had, and I've had couple of android phones before this (came from the Epic 4G Touch) and also have had iPhone, and none of those are even close to the experience I've gotten on LGOG.

If you want a phone that runs hot, try the Evo3D. I swear, if my heat ever went out in my house, all I had to do was drill the processor in that for a few minutes. Accidently left mine under my pillow one time when it was charging. Got so hot, it burned my face when I tried to make a phone call. I stream Netflix alot, and it got uncomfortable to hold it. This phone runs like a liquid-cooled dream compared to that.
