I got a CLN replacement yesterday due to a defective display. It has a blue sticker "NB 05/14" meaning it was refurbished in May 2014. When I compared the replacement with my old phone, I noticed that a camera lens on my old phone is bright purple under a fluorescent room light while the one on the replacement phone is very dark purple.
Has Samsung started using a new camera module? Pics taken indoor by the replacement phone look darker but this is just my subjective impression.
Both phones were originally manufactured in April 2014, according to the stickers in the battery compartment.
The phone was not refurbished in May. That phone is a brand new phone.
It takes about 60-90 days to turn around a refurb phone.
They don't exist yet.
Yes, there is a green "core' and a purple "core", just like in the S4. There is absolutely no difference in the two as far as the images the produce. NONE. In the S4, if you replaced your camera, you had to make sure you got the exact same core. It could turn into a real pain in the arse.

Hi! I bought my GS2 with Docomo the day it was launched and I have been enjoying it. One little problem, after using the Widget Locker application, I noticed a round circle near the lower right side of the screen, excactle the same shape and position as one of the circular shortcut from Wideget Locker. I uninstalled and waited a few days but it was still there, although barely visible. I went to the docomo shop the other day and the lady was as surprised as embarrassed and even checked her own GS2 to look for screen burns. Interestingly enough the demonstration model has a permanent screen burn of the dock bar (probably since the screen is always turned on).
After looking for similar issues on the forums, I found a thread about light blobs. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197743.
Anyway, they agreed to change it for free. I went there and obviously very carefully looked for any screen defect. Only after removing the screen protective sheet did I notice the blue tint. Comparing it to the GS2 I had just returned, the new handset white was clearly tinted blue.
Will the tint go away after a bit, or is it a long lasting manufacturing defect?
The store agreed to change it once they receive a new stock of GS2 next week.
Is it possible that this specific store has received an unusually high ratio of handsets with defects? After all, what are the chances of me getting two faulty devices in a row...
My nexus 10 has a couple tiny specs of dust under the display, but I decided to keep it as it was better than the others I had. I went through 3 nexus 10s to get one with acceptable light bleed and minimal dust. In fact, the first of every device I've owned has had an issue. For instance, my first sgs3 had a few bright pixels, as did my second. To be honest, I can't even tell you if my current one has any issues as it has a screen protector on it, but it probably does. I also went through 3 1080p ips Asus laptops with screen defects before I gave up and bought a cheap Acer that also has bright pixel. My old Samsung galaxy tab 2 has two bright pixels and just noticed my canon elph camera also has one. My brand new surface pro has a small piece of dust under the display and a bright pixel. I guess my point is should I just accept the fact that no nexus 10 (or any other device for that matter) has a perfect display? Sorry if this question is too broad for this section, this is just the only place I could think to ask it where like minded people may be able to chime in. Thanks.

If that's the only issue and it doesn't really bother you keep it. I'm sure mine has some too but I just don't bother looking for them because I don't notice anything under normal circumstances. I'm sure you can get one without dust but then you'll probably find major light bleed. I wouldn't bother taking the chance of getting one worse unless it's really bad

Well the obvious answer is no, but the closest I've gotten would be from my moto x and my lg g2. With a tablet as affordable and high speced (when it came out) I kind of have to assume quality control wasn't the most stringent. That and if you think about it, the nexus 10 was a sand box for all of Samsung's new tech so the production methods probably weren't perfected yet

Hello
I recently bought used Galaxy S4 i9506. The problem is strange looking screen above Samsung logo, where sensors and front cam are located.
It looks like different color under glass, I'm not sure but rather it's not an air, cause nothing happens when I press/squeeze it.
It's only visible in very bright light, I've noticed it few days after receiving in when there was a sunny day.
Could You take a look at pictures I made with DSLR. What do You think? Is it normal?
Not normal. I suspect the previous owner replaced the glass with a cheap (i.e. fake) substitute.
Hi guys I bought a Motorola X Style on Amazon (european version) white 32 GB and I noticed some light bleeding on the bottom righe corner of the phone ( only with black screen and maximum brightness).
I know that this is a typical problem of LCD screen but I don't know if is better to change the phone or not. During normal use this phenomenon is not visibile.
Thanks
I have a blob of light bleed on the bottom left side. I also got mine from Amazon. Seems to be typical with this device. I only see it on black screens. I considered returning but since there is still more demand than supply and it took me three weeks to get this one, I think I'll just live with it.
Mine is the same from Amazon. I may address it at some point but right now too much is right with the phone and their supply is too low.
OK if this "problem" is common to a large part of Moto X Style, i think that is better to keep with us our phones....the new ones should be worst
Mine not only has light bleed but a defective display. There is a light spot in the upper right quadrant. Seems that Motorola(Lenovo), has decided to use very cheap display panels. I guess that is how they can charge the price that they do. Also manufactured in China now, which reeks of poor quality control. Very sad for a once awesome piece of hardware. Next thing you know the radios in these phones will be subpar, which would really be a shame with the Motorola name attached to it. I am a little disappointed in this. I was very excited about this phone and now I am bummed. I am getting a replacement but if to is bad with lots of light bleed, I might have to send it back and take a pass on the Moto X Pure. If the display is this bad, it worries me that the rest of the device will be a piece of garbage in time as well. I want to unlock and root but I have pause as I am worried about premature failure and Moto blaming me for it. We will see.
I just bought a S10+ off ebay and though the phone is in good shape with decent battery life still, the screen has a pink tint. This is very obvious because I use dark mode everywhere and white text and icons are pink / purple and not white, whether in natural mode or vivid. It's noticeable by itself, but when put next to an iphone with LCD (which are fairly accurate color-wise), it's like UGH that looks bad. It's like the LEDs on cheap RGB keyboards that are pink / yellow / purple / green when they're supposed to be white.
the seller has 30 day free return and I'm trying to decide if I should roll the dice and exchange for another one (they're a business and have a bunch of these). So I want to ask S10+ owners: Does your white text have a pink (or any color) tint, and how long have you had your phone?
thanks
The S10+ exceeds (or should) the iPhones display specs.
The white balance should be near perfect.
Use Screen Test to better evaluate the display. It may be the blue pixels have stated to degraded.
The red pixels generally have the longest lifespan.
Unless a factory reset fixes it, I would return it.
You can get a new, factory sealed box one here.
Or a new unlocked N10+ Snapdragon. This where I got my 2nd N10+ 3 months ago. No doubt about it's history or usage as it's been sitting on a shelf.

I have no doubt the screen is great when new. I'm talking about what happens to the screen once it's been in use for a few years

You replace it.
My N10+ that's been heavily used for 2 years shows no color shift, decrease in max brightness, dead pixels etc.
However I'm careful to keep the brightness below 50% almost always. If I use it in the sun it's for seconds, it almost never sees direct sunlight.
I use manual brightness control.
