Anybody got this? In low brightness some darker elements(specially gray) start become a little purplish
Also the colors seem less saturated in the default screen mode than the s3(also in standard) i thought i would be the opposite, is my screen defective or is this normal
I tried google but all i get are galaxy nexus results(purple tint)

Welcome to S4. Every galaxy S4 has this. Please refer to other threads on how to get rid of this smearing through software.

The OP doesn't mention smearing.
This is a different issue to the smearing problem.
When the brightness is on low greys become purple. I have had 4 different S4s (all had to be replaced due to screen issues) and every single one had this problem on low brightness.
IMO there is no such thing as a perfect S4 screen!
I have finally settled on my 4th replacement and this one is still not great but I'm sick of returning them.
I have a pink tint at the top of this screen and also all the sensors, LED and front camera are misaligned in the casing, All over to the left.
Samsung have REALLY failed on the Quality Control of this device.
So it seems universal, well i will have to turn off auto brightness and use brightness at 30%
Any of u guys came from the s3? Do the s4 colors seem a little less saturated to u guys? I have them both side by side and it seems so

Yes. I had s3 before and the less saturation on S4 is intentional by Samsung. According to some detailed comparison, the colors of s4 are more accurate. It seems odd at first because our eyes are used to the oversatured screen of s3.

Hi guys,
My new black galaxy s4 has a gap between the screen and the bezel.
its right above the speaker. Quite noticeable.
I can even slide piece of paper between it.
Should I ask for an exchange?
Yes... its obviously a manufacturers fault.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Yes you should. Could you post a picture?

We see Samsung has released toooo many colours for S4, they are White Frost, Black Mist, Blue Arctic, Brown Autumn, Purple Mirage, Red Aurora, Pink Twilight, and UK carrier even customised Gold for S4.
Which colour do you like?
I just got the white version just because I think it dissipates heat better after taking high school physics (or perhaps this is just placebo)
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4
I have took the black version
I had the white note 2 before, I didn't like its color
I think Samsung should stop using this color with high performance devices, unlike other low specs devices.
But for that heat issue, I think white color will do a great job, not like that black oven I have and especially in summer time

I have a white galaxy s4 but i think black look awesome because the sensors are hidden
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4
My wife has the white sg3 and I'm not a big lover of the white used.
I have the black mist sg4 and really really like it much better, best of all its NOT pure black its got those nice little speckles and as bonus as already mentioned the sensors are somewhat hidden :thumbup:
P.s. I should also mention Voda. Australia only offers white or black.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I opted for the Black Mist version, simply because my SGS3 was in white. So, I wanted something different.
I have the black but I want the white. It's flashier and loons nicer with the case I have
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 4
I chose black. It's the least distracting and draws your attention right to the beautiful screen. It also gives the illusion of the phone being smaller than other colors, especially white.
I really like S4 Black Mist, its not really black, but it does show finger prints quite well. The white it doesn't seem to show them as much?
I got white frost and really like it, even the contrast to the sensors looks nice.
Got a black i9100 before that looked really awful compared to the white ones.
With the shiny back cover of the s4 this effect is even bigger on the s4, so go grab a white one

Here's an idea if you get a can of full gloss spray paint you could have all black s4

The blue one looks the best in my opinion, far better than the black one and the sensors are still somewhat hidden.

White seems making the device looks bigger in naked eyes.. my 10cent.
Hi
Currently got an S4 and I'm looking to replace it as I use it a lot for movie watching and magazine reading and the slight yellow tint to the s4 screen really annoys me.
Seeing as the note 3 has a similar screen, but just slightly larger, can people confirm whether the note 3 suffers the same inaccurate whites/yellow tint?
Thanks!
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I don't know what yellow tint you're talking about but my S4 didn't have it nor does my N3. I dont use adapt display and my screen mode is set to dynamic
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Tapatalk 4
It's when viewing whites my s4 has a decidedly warm colour to it so whites look dirty and slightly yellowy. It's a well reported characteristic of the s4 although probably didn't affect every single one.
Just want to know if the note 3 solves this by having cool whites as opposed to warm. Maybe personal preference but I much prefer a cooler display.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I have noted it but just in the movie mode, in dynamic and standard it seems a little bluer to me but it's personal opinion. But I have to say damn this is a beautiful display worth the choice of the phone by itself
Sent from my SM-N900 using xda app-developers app
That's good. As long as some of the modes have a cooler tint I'll be happy. The green/yellow tinge is just a bugbear of mine.
Thanks for the replies.

if interested in note3 screen quality, take a look here:

guys check if you have adaptive display selected. it adds yellow hue to reduce eye strain
Yap my note 3 has yellow tint some uper area yellowish shade...if I compare with down area of screen.there is difference in low brightness...anyway to fix?
Which do you guys prefer? White or black? and why?
Black I have a white one and my ocd just goes crazy you will have to clean it more when its white
Sent from my LG-VS980 using Tapatalk
I've had a white one since november and its been flawless. No case either. No ocd issues. Guess it depends on the environment. I also like the white because it shows of the size of your screen better. This is the first white phone I have had and was worried i might not like it but those worries disappeared as soon as i open the box.

Definitely white. I love my white G2, looks way more elegant and distinctive.
I've had the unfortunate opportunity of owning both a black, and a white one which I got to replace my old one. The white definitely looks better and you can't see the fingerprints, also it looks more "premium" according to my family members.
Black: Powerful, Classic, Elegant!!!

I thought so too till I realized it's a fingerprint magnet, the white is better at covering that up.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
white.
less fingerprints. Don't see much of other dirt stuff.
and best of all it looks different than all the blackies out ther.
White here as well. Looks cleaner than black even with all the fingerprints.

Looked at both and I picked black I have had a white note 1 and note 2 so I picked Black this timeso I can't be ocd about the black line around the screen being noticeable on the white model. No regrets on picking black
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda app-developers app
I have a black one and my best friend got a white one. I dislike the black stripe between the bezel and the screen on the white one... but except that the white is more impressive and hides fingerprints perfectly also the screenprotector is invisible on the white... so if you like the color white all the way:good:
I keep a soft touch case on my black one because of the horrible fingerprint problem. So really it didn't matter to me what color I got. Case helps you to find the power key easier too.
