the proximity sensor and light sensor are frosted?
just wondering!

Doubt it cuz the frosting would inhibit the function of the sensors. This is probably a dummy display model photographed by the graphic designers for the image.

Anyone else get a phone with dead pixel(s)?

Hey XDA!
My Nexus 4 arrived, but it came with a fairly noticeable dead pixel in the center.
I got it RMA'd, but I'm just wondering if this is a widespread issue. Has anyone else gotten dead pixels on theirs too?

Lol yes. The software keeps track of each individual pixels working status and if ones dead it will not show in output. Just like if you have your laptop plugged into a projector and smash the screen in the projector will display the same damage.

RMA it if you can't stand it. Looks like you got a bad one. No issues here on dead pixels.

I had a dead pixel in mine that I got yesterday so I took it back today and they gave me a new one on the spot no hassles

oh and just so you know here in NZ stock is low but you can still get them easily enough. It's officially stocked by one of our carriers (not modified). The shop I got mine from had 5 in stock.

My 16gb Nexus 4 was all ok until a vertical line of dead pixels appeared few days back. It is only visible on White/Blue background...looks like the pixels are unable to generate Blue.
Will get it RMA'd.

S4 display

im wondering if the display will have pixels on the bottom of the icons like the s3 has,visible single pixels,,that is kind of annoying..i dont like iphones,but the display seems to be more sharp,do you think s4 will be sharp?? no visible pixels?

the 441pixel per inch answers your question

I think at 441ppi, it's going to look just fine. As shown above.

yes,i think its very nice,rich colors,vivid.

Remember, the GS4 has RGB Mode, which makes white's much more natural.

Cant wait til my upgrade!

tx for the answers .

It's so realistic! :cyclops:

It's gonna be an awesome display in every way. People who complain about PenTile don't have any reason to because the ultra high PPI cancels out everything. And if you don't like the default saturated colors, there's always Adobe RGB mode which is apparently better calibrated than HTC One.

Yeah you can still see them but you have to look a lot more closely, you wont notice it at a normal viewing position.

Don't quote me on this, but I recently read an article about calibrating the screen on the Note II. It described activating the Adobe RGB setting for realistic colors, etc, but the article went on to say that carriers removed this menu selection. Do you believe carriers will do the same for the S4?
I could be talking out of my arse, but I just recall this article. I can't locate it.

I know that AT&T GS3 didn't have the same screen mode selections like the International version did. Can't speak for the rest of the carriers though.

Which is why I'm hoping At&t retains this for the S4.

Looks like a cross between the Z and Z1.
It seems they are running out of ideas.

Is it just me or does that looks like capacitive buttons?
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk

Promo ads like these usually have UIs and screens photoshopped for clarity and for easier manipulation.
It seems like an international Z1 with the UI stupidly aligned and enlarged.
BTW, its usually ad agencies that do these ads, not Sony themselves, so it could also be that they don't know how to resize for a much more realistic Xperia.
Or you could be right.

Just so u guys know. Sony will use the same design language for all of its phones. That's what they said at the start of the year. That phone there could be a mid range one with capacitive buttons or it could simply be a render for marketing...

No way z2 has a bigger bezel than that one.

Guys it's only the Xperia z1. The photoshop-er or graphic designer did a poor job on applying the screen and aligning it on to the phone. >.>

It's a Xperia forum in China.
Not 100% sure. I just want to share what've got.

Could it be the one plus one phone?
It's rumoured to have a 5.5 inch screen and its supposed to be announced on the 16th

I don't know what it is. Like we didn't have munch infomation about T2 Ultra and E1 until it releases, like this mystery phone.
Everything new about xperia, or rumor news are also come from digi-woo.
You guys may need to use translate engine of Chrome so you can barely understand what they are discussing about.

I'm Vietnamese, not Chinese so don't ask me to translate because I don't know Chinese

This is onePlus one phone...
