Galaxy s3 photos!

I thought it'd be awesome if people posted pictures of how they are sportin' their s3 to show off and help others decide on a color!
So get to posting!

Sounds like u wanna decide too eh? Blue is STUNNING. Definitely glad I got it, very unique too. I'm at work but I took photos of how I handle it while I'm working driver thru at McDonald's, will post after work

Took these during our parade today.
Edit: whoops, just seen that you were talking about pictures of the actual phone. Lol.

ugh this post is not doing anything to curve my craving for this phone but I still cant resist to check out the pics people post of their phones =)

Why agonize over which color to get. Get both and enjoy.... :-D

Is Google shipping out new hardware?

Well what does your HW version say in the bootloader.

eye trick. the black part surrounding the lens might be bigger, the lens size is the same

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

its the same.

No difference in the aperture. The difference is just in the blank black area. If you look, your first device has a blank area that isn't even even. I wouldn't worry about it.

Interesting. Does this improve photo quality?

Different Kind of Bumper

Hey guys. I just noticed a friend who had an iphone 5 and he had a pretty neat bumper case on it. It had a clear back plastic piece that went over the back cover of the phone. Now "Griffen" does make the cases but i went on their site and couldn't find anything for android phones other than the s3. Nothing on amazon or ebay either. Seems like an awesome accessory since it is not bulky and actual will protect and show off the back of the n4 at the same time. If anyone could provide any links to a similar product that would be great!

Right now only poetic bumper and Official bumper for Nexus 4,
and some replica of official bumper coming from China.
No more choice now, and there is already tons of bumper threads around here..

Your title is misleading, the case you are describing is not a bumper case. it is a clear case with coloured sides.

Awesome. Thanks a lot for the link
but i did see the pic and it's sort of similiar to what my friend had but the back was a lot more transparent. it was more like a plastic piece that fits between the bumber on the back and has cut outs, thats all. Heres a link to the one that i found he has this exact case/bumber. http://store.griffintechnology.com/iphone/iphone-5/survivor-clear-for-iphone-5 and another for the note 2: (refered to as a BUMPER btw) http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Prote...id=1358748443&sr=8-23&keywords=nexus+4+bumper

if you dont mind can you take one more picture but not from same area. Also try cleaning the lens.

I tried cleaning lense...
Here are 2 photos :
On first one, you can see my best friend (with retarded face expression) amd you can see stain again.
On second you can see my gfs dog, and there is no stain..
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Why many won't believe it, this is a form of lens flare... caused by a relatively strong light source positioned to the side of the lens.

But i can see the stain even when i look trough camera (before taking photo). That bothers me... When i direct my camera into white or bright colored objects, i can see stain... When i direct phone to landscape, for example, i cant see stain....

Try taking the phone apart and take a look at the camera. It's fairly easy to do but if you need a nice simple guide in tearing down the phone download the Ifixit app from the Play Storr. Perfect source.

Use the Ifixit app. It contains step by step instructions along with high res pics to see how each step is done and guide you through them.

I wouldn't recommend opening it right away. Take it to a phone repair shop to see what they think causing this issue. If it is the lens dirty from inside then yeah go ahead and open it.

All the red ones at att have the dot. in the pictures online its there in some of the other photos but not in the main big first pic you see I think its a cgi image probably an oversite by Samsung it just looks kinda weird coming from a s3 I'm not used to seeing it and I dont think its there on the red s3 I'm not sure mine is white
