color issue?

is it just my phone or what here?
I have noticed the saturation of colors on my atrix are just horrible specially green which makes yellow and orange that's why yellow and orange are really off... just me or everyone? if so anyone got an idea on how to tackle this issue?

search is your friend, its not just your phone. Its also not really a problem for a lot of people, myself included, since id take it over supersaturated colors any day.

The Colors on my phone look like the colors on my Touch Pro. What I mean is that they look the way they should.

Agreed, mine looks fine to my eyes. Best looking screen I've ever had on a device besides my G73JW.

I cannot complain. My color look ok to me.

The resolution is amazing I can't lie but the quality and the color are **** compared to my amoled desire.. green is too dark and the quality of the picture is wack too pixelated...

everyone who says it's not important is lying at least a little. the screen is not perfect, period. one needs only to look at a green image or moving red image to see the flaws in the screen design.

As a color blind person I can say that the greens look fine to me. and thanks for saying I am lying even if only a little.

There have been a couple of colour comparisons, and I believe the concensus has been that the Atrix has more "realistic" colours, while we are more used to other devices having colours that "pop" with over saturation. We have become accustomed to over saturation, and so when we see colours on a screen that more closely match real world colours, we think there is something wrong. I will take the Atrix colours over anything else I have used.
<edit> I have seen one comparison where correct colour calibration techniques were used to compare the Atrix to I believe the iPhone4. I will try to find it again and post a link.

Bonus Look or Design Flaw with WHITE GS3:-)

Hi guys, when my notification light blinks blue at night, if I am in a dark room the whole entire face lights up. It has a skeletal look to it. I like it though
Too bad I can't capture this feature/flaw using my wife's phone camera.
Does anyone else with the white .GS3 have the same thing happening to theirs?
Press thanks if I helped you!!!!

I haven't heard of this, but if you can graphically document this, then by all means! That sounds really cool, blue-skeletal look!

Yeah, it's called light spreading
tapatalked from galaxy s3

It does the same thing with the menu/back lights as well, personally I think its awesome
Also noticed how the LED light never flashes while the display is on, Samsung discovered that having both on at once will mean the LED washing over the display?

yup does it with my white S3 , and yeah i actually like it too

Noticed this myself last night, does indeed look pretty decent.
The back cover is no no for me, looking into getting something to cover it. I like the white front though.

Skeleton phone ? That's epic I need decals on it!

That's a really cool effect! It's a defect that is when they are not glued probably. It's a bonus effect I'd like to have.

It looks cool those bottom back lights, light up the entire front white frame slightly

You must not have seen a white SGSII then, my Skyrocket does the same thing and I love it, had to pre-order the SGSIII for that reason and about 100 more!

Picture of pebble blue S3

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.

Got a pebble blue today and can confirm it looks like the one in the video. More gunmetal grey than blue.

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.

I am convinced. I am going to order it on Monday.
Estimated delivery in The Netherlands is 3 weeks.
Putting my patience to the test

In Finland we got the first batch of blue ones this week. Next week more. I got mine already in white but girlfriend wants it in blue.

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.

Anyone switch from Blue to White?

I like the blue quite a bit, but the white one seems to be grabbing my attention the more I look at it. Has anyone here made the switch and regretted it?

OmG doesnt matter what other ppl thinks..choose the one that you like more
ps.for me white looks better

haha I'm just getting some opinions man. Sometimes people switch and there may be something they don't like about their decision that can help me make an informed decision.
Sure it's a preference but there are other aspects to the colors that can help a dude decide. Light leak, dirt etc

gotta agree with him.. decide for you not for others. but i am also confused about the colors as well they are both very good. i guess i will just close my eyes and put my hand on one and buy that color lol

Eww I waited for the blue one and I'm glad I did. I held the white phone of my cousin in my hand. And imo it felt subjectively cheap to me after having the blue one! I would never never buy a white one, but as I said taste is very subjective!
Just go to a shop or friend and take it in your hand and then you can decide for yourself

is that your opinion or experience? cuz the thing with me is i hate it when my phone gets dirty thats why i was leaning towards the blue more

It is a smudge magnet. It's dark and glossy...I mean unless you have some kind of special fingers it gets smudgy.
I have a matte skin coming for mine to take care of that and a regular skin on there now that helps, but naked it gets pretty smudgy.

I dont get it.. how can the white feel cheap when the only difference between the two is color? If you closed your eyes and handled them you wouldnt be able to tell which is blue and which is white so how can the white feel cheaper? lol
I will be getting the blue though only because I dont like white phones.. on that note.
Dear Student Loan check,

I can't stand the white version. The phone is already struggling in the looks department so I have no idea what they were thinking when they went a did that to it.

For me it's not smudgy my old arc was much much worse, but I did notice one thing. I put a Samsung flip cover to help protect it, for some reason that back gets a little smudge? But the original didn't

Honestly I can't look at the blue version in a direct light: that brushed finish it has around the screen becomes all shiny and looks cheap as hell, really hurts my eye. A friend of mine is getting it today and i tried everything to convince him to go with the white one, but no luck. I wonder how people aren't bothered by this, especially in direct sunlight...

That's what I didn't like about the blue one. The white is just a simple colour, which, looks much more elegant (if you consider only the pattern by itself).
Also, that after a few months I'd look at it and think "Ugh, why did I get this colour?!". Shades of grey, black and white are more neutral. If I had to pick only one colour clothes for the next two years, it wouldn't be blue, so neither is my phone.
But to be honest, the blue being dark is nice. If it had been that dark in grey, I would have definitely picked it. (I think the brushed finish probably would have suited grey better anyway). My white hasn't had any transfer staining so far, but I am slightly worried hearing what others have said. I'll just have to make sure to use only dye-free (clear) cases.

blue
i have had three blue ones because of various faults. after i sent my first blue one back i went to the carphone warehouse to see the white one in the flesh as the replacement date was earlier for the white.
but after comparing it to the blue one i decided to wait for another blue.
again there was unrelated fault and had to send back again, still waited for a blue and very glad i held out as i love it.
just my opinion, maybe because i have a white s2

I wouldnt say a red tint...
Galaxy Alphas video colours are much warmer and Z3's is more neutral.
Pretty sure the colours can be tweaked.

Look at the clouds and the wall of the house

I'm not seeing any problems either.

I dont see a problem either. you can choose the white balance and it'll look just like the galaxy alpha if thats what you like. maybe sony should default to that mode because its pleasing to the eye and would get more buyers.. exactly why samsung and apple do it.
also, what with people all uploading 4k recordings at 720p? thats kinda defeating the purpose a bit...

I think it appears only in the video
Photos is very good
Xperia z3 have the same problem

The video is really bad - colours are way off. It's nothing like as noticeable in the photos, with the exception of the ferris wheel. It's pretty obvious on that one.
