To simplify my question , some brands like (htc ) release same device with different screens (htc sensation is released with both sharp and acer screens ) , now my question is how i can confirm that the screen on my tab is samsung made PLS screen , not a cheap version for middle east region with normal screen.
Thanks and regards,
this is the article that made me think that way http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-gal...tage-10158766/
it says that some galaxy tab 10.1 will have different screens due to shortage and thicker bodey , any one can help me recognize what screen i have on my tab

Read the comments on that article...it seems as though the problem existed with the 8.9, NOT the 10.1.

The article's from June and the source is a Mac website who I'm guessing isn't really in the loop about what's happening at Samsung. For whatever reason, what they predicted never happened. Samsung manufactures all their own display panels unlike other OEM's. If there was a spec change, it would propbably be done regionally with whatever's changed clearly noted to the public. There's nothing to indicate that all the 10.1 display's aren't the same.

Super PLS is just a type of IPS screen. You should be able to tell by looking at it that it's an IPS screen, as lesser alternatives really screw up the colors/contrast as you look at sharper angles. If any of these had something other than an IPS screen, I'm sure there would be plenty of stories/posts about it.
So the real question is: do you have a "generic" IPS screen, or a Super PLS. Considering that Super PLS is less expensive to produce than traditional IPS, are you concerned that you may have a cheap PLS screen, or are you concerned that they spent extra money to send you a generic IPS screen?

Thanks for your very satisfying. Answer. For sure they will use PLS screen made by them
There doesn't seem to be any information about what the release date for the White version is? There is only the review video on Slashgear, and the announcement from Samsung that the white version will launch alongside the black version. To my knowledge, no white Note's have shipped yet.
I just pre-ordered the White version from handtec.co.uk for 449GBP+15GBP Shipping, but they have no expected date.
If there is any updates on the White version, please post them here.
got the white one on clove.co.uk ( not sure if its in stock but the site already let ppl purchase )
www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-note-white
ps its more expensive than other sites tho
According to the below link (first paragraph), the white version should be launching in the UK the same day as the black one. I want the white one, so going to just wait. Handtec has it, but it says pre-order with no date listed.
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/42763/samsung-galaxy-note-release-uk
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php?xProd=5864
I just heard back from Clove and Handtec on the white galaxy note, seems that Samsung hasn't given them any release date, so, looks like it might be awhile
why don't buy a dark blue one with some white paint? The white one is mostly for girls.
The info I got from Clove was early December for the white version. Take that with a grain of salt...
i got the black one as i cannot wait for the white one
i have asked samsung UK about the white one " no date for releasing the white one yet , it might take a while "
I also contacted handtec about the white one and they have no date.
I just contacted Handtec to change my preorder of the White version to the black one...cant wait for the white one
White one available now....... Ebay.. Ermmmmm $3,000/£1,880.88 anybody?
Oh come on. It's a snip..... Free delivery and they're not charging Sales Tax/VAT
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-G...0891133083?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item336e23349b
Just bought a White Galaxy Note off Ebay. Shows in stock so I should have it next week.
Yesterday I saw several shops in Sincere Podium in Mong Kok - Hong Kong selling the white Samsung Galaxy Note, the price is the same as the blue one (~750USD)

And why is White only for the girls? White is as much of a eliteist color as black, more some in most cases.
I want the white because I work in the medical field, so I think that's pretty self explanatory. A big Black Tablet would look stupid in my lab jacket.

White Galaxy Note looks far better than the boring dark blue that most people have IMO. Same goes for the Galaxy SII, the white one just looks so much better. Black is ho hum, every generic piece of electronics is black.

Totally a matter of taste and preference. As a girl, I didn't even give the white a second look mainly because I gag seeing all the white iPhones and GSII's on Hong Kong's street already. I've also seen a lot of white gadgets turning yellow over a period of use.
The black is good and business-like. I think people would just take me less seriously in business meetings when I pull out a white gadget.
For those interested in a white, CityLink in North Point, HK has them available and I've reserved one already for anybody interested!

Lately I like items in white or red. Got a white mazda 3 I just purchased, this galaxy note and a red alienware notebook. I agree its personal taste and subjective but I like having different colors. Over here most electronics are all black and you rarely see a different color.
Just came from Kwun Tong Shopping Plaza, there's a Citylink branch over there and showing the white Galaxy Note

hi...
in an italian forum.... a member say that the white version have more light... it is more luminous.
he compared the note ....with others BLACK possessors..... and ALL TIMES he noticed the white version is more luminous.
can you check if your WHITE note is better than a black note?
i am really interested to know if it is true....... if samsung changed the panel in the white version.. or not.

Ive seen someone post a pic of 2 black note's screens, one was blue ish the others screen was white, its depends on youre luck pretty much I think, what the screen turs out to be like...
look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335161
My guess it is software related... otherwise I am sure 99% will be very pissed of..since most people have the black version...
I've got a white one and the display is very bright and has no green tint. Very happy with it so far but I don't have a black one to compare it to.
I did order the black one from amazon.de yesterday, it will arrive this week, so I would really like to get to know if there is a REAL hardware differences between the modeles... I bet my ass it is software related..there is so many power saving options etc.. which make the screen less bright... to save battery...
For spending this amount of money it is NOT OK that the white version would be better hardwarewise it would make me seriously pissed of..but as I said before I highly doubt it...
the possibility of white galaxy notes having better screens is starting to piss me off. can anyone confirm this?

It's highly unlikely. The panels all come off the same assembly line; the cost to set up to make a certain panel is so high it would be insane not to use just one to supply all of the Note panels. No need to stress yourself out over some random internet speculation.
yes, I agree it seem very unlikely...and would be very disrespectful for the samsung customers... who do not know what they buy.... it would be like you are buying a "pirate copy" of the original if the white would be better..I would feel like that...so I hope it is only placebo and illusions otherwise I feel very fooled.. and angry and pissed off.

I doubt they would have different panels and only put certain ones in white ntes, and separate out others to only put in black ones. That would be costly to do, and there would be no reason to do it.
The only way I could see why there would be any difference is if they updated the screen driver in the white ones because they are newer, or if the newer batch of screens just come out better. In any case that means the black ones should get better as well if there is in fact any difference.

this is a baseless assumption. its common sense because of the white frame which makes the display seem more luminous.

That could be partially right since black absorbs light and white reflects. Just another reason white Note > black
@Joker
that doesn't make the screen more luminous, it makes the device more luminous. as in the bezel and all that literally.
and i wasn't thinking they'd use deliberately different screens. maybe better batches, is what i meant.

+1, you sir are 100% correct. It's like saying the black note has better blacks since it's black and on the other hand the white Note has better whites since it's white...
The white Note only appears better since the frame is white, hence making it seem better.
As you clearly mentioned it only APPEARS more luminous.
I agree with many others that if you were to compare a black Note to a white one you would not see any difference...
Glad I got the black one though as people would probably mistake the white one for being a new Apple/Ipad which would offend me.
Also for movies & pictures the black note would be the better choice...
100% RIGHT
I have the white and the black note, the screen of the white note is better than the black one,
I have the same version on both, and i noticed that the white note is more bright than the black one, so i decided to keep the white one.
the white one was made by Samsung, and the black one says made in Korea by Samsung.
i got the white from hong kong and the black from clove uk .

I accept that based on your experience you found there to be a significant enough of a difference between the two panels to make a subjective choice. However, Until i see pictures of direct comparisons between the two devices, i will have to reserve my judgement.

Yeah the white one for some reason doesn't say "Made in ____" rather just a cryptic "Made by Samsung". The panel on this thing is fantastic.

One data point means nothing.
There is always variation between panels, especially AMOLED. Some other guy might get a black one and a white one and have the opposite experience you did. Until/unless we get a large quantity of such reports, common sense should be used.
The panels on the new WHITE galaxy s2 have been tested with calibration hardware and come out MUCH better that the BLACK one, for brightness AND color accuracy.
The site that tested them is eager to test some NEW black s2 to see if it is a new batch of screens or if it is just the white s2 that gets the better panels...
Maybe it's the same with the Note ?
That would suck.
EDIT: that same site just tested the Note and say that the screen kicks ass so if you get a ****ty screen just send it back. By the way, they tested the black Note...

It really does! I loved the screen on my GSII, but the Note's is better, and not just resolution. It's brighter and has more contrast. I have a couple dark wallpapers to help save battery (in theory) and one of them is this neat black/dark grey paisley, and you couldn't really make it out in the GSII, but it looks awesome on the Note.
@Latoc: Link please?
well this of course would be very depressing news...if this turns out to be true..it would also be interesting to know if the there is individual differences between the black models also.. When it comes to this I think I prefer Apple you atleast KNOW what the hell you are getting when you buy the phone, cause apple is more careful about their trademark and to keep the quality high. Samsung does not seem to care as much... they consider us customers stupid, "they will most likely not notice anything" then all the reviewers get the best versions etc...
Well I am happy with my note but I would really like to compare side by side with my own eyes with the white version...
I am always using the brightness on 100% but I think most of people will have it on auto... so I guess it is more important for some then others... but especially when watching media/pictures/video the brightness is important..
Hi all,
Today I was in a store where a saw the blue version of the S3 which seems much lighter, especially the back, as I have seen on the Internet
I am not sure if this was an old demo model or the newest batch but it seems that it was almost light blue
Can somebody that has received their blue s3, from the new production, make some good pictures?
I currently have a S2 and like its dark colour
Check this out, mate
It's actually the newest batch according to the guy in the video.
It seems Samsung has changed the original design of the pebble blue version to a more metal looking one with a light/subtle blue shade.
I think this looks a lot better than the model which was first introduced in the press shots.
The only issue now is that I'm torn between marble white and pebble blue; initially I was going to buy the white version but now I'm not sure :-/ the pebble blue v. looks sexy as hell now.

What comes across in pictures is that they're still using the old color home buttons creating a mismatch. Is that the case when you look at it in person?
I'm glad they changed it to that color, so much better than the one at the unbox event. The original pebble blue looked so fugly

When it was available on pre-orders, the blue version was being sold as 'Metallic Blue' on Brazil. Now that it has officially launched, the new name is 'Graphite'.
Not sure if they changed the colors or if pebble blue really looks so much like graphite that they decided to change its name :|
Got my pebble blue this morning, it looks amazing. You can't go wrong with it.

except in a dark room when the LED noti or the capacitive buttons light up you get a skeleton effect because of the white frame. this appeals to me.
New Pebble/Metallic Blue > Old Pebble Blue > Marble White.
First I liked the white, but after I while I returned to my original opinion: white phone's look cheaper then black/dark one's. That's just my opinion though.
I prefer the grey colour over the pebble blue. I hope that is the case across the board. The same guy did an unboxing video and the box is black. Originally the pebble blue had a blue box. So I hope I get the same one. I would think Samsung would stick with the same colour change which explains the delay of the pebble blue devices.
It's not in english. But check out the beautiful black box and grey S3.

My blue one is on FedEx delivery truck and the damn thing is still not come. I will post pictures as soon as I get it.
I know there was a thread about this before but I cant seem to find it. I also think there were no comparison pictures either
First of all I have two phones because the first one I bought had a fault with the glass.
The shiny one is from the faulty phone and the darker one is my new one.
Which one do you think looks better?
PS: If you see it in real life its not as noticeable as in the pictures.. but you can still easily see it. The darker one looks more purple/ black and the shiny one looks like more of a shaded mirror.
Also the shape at the bottom of the shiny one is from a back cover protector. I took it off but the muck/ dirt was still on there..
