So I just got my 64gb aluminium, that I ordered since my graphite 32gb is in processing purgatory.
The build was looking awesome, I barely noticed any pink (slight up top but it wasn't enough to make me want to return. That is until.... I found this "issue" a dark blue/green/gray will show as you see towards the left of the screen what appears to be uneven glue or something... not sure? It leaves a weird texture pattern and I know gray points aren't always uniform as I own IPS monitors. Checked a note 4 and it does not exist as an issue there. Return, wait for my 32gb graphite or....?

Hello.Does anybody have problem with "unglued digitizer"(touch screen sticking a little)from black frame, bottom and the both sides below camera.
Well, now that you say it : my screen seems to stick out a little bit more where the camera is. But only noticeable when going over it with the thumb. I also have a anti-glare screen installed, so that effect gets increased.
But oh well. I knew that the built-quality isn't the best before I bought it, so I don't complain.
Fake edit
when looking from the side I can see the display protection sticking out where the camera is. But not on the other end of the tablet.
I am waiting for the Note 4 to come out in my country so I haven't seen them in real life. Currently I am thinking of going for the white or the black one. Since the metal frame is coloured as the rest of the phone, I was wandering if the black one is more prone to scratches or maybe more that the scratches being more visible on the black one? I am also wandering if the back on the black and white differ when holding the phone, one being more slippery than the other?
The black one is non-slip and soft coated, while the white one is hard and slippery.
The white certainly isnt hard and slippery at all, thats nonsense.
Unless your country makes a different backing than the units released in my country. I noticed no notable difference between black and white backcovers myself. Except the colour, obviously.
of course not..the material they are made of is same ..only colour is different.
scratches depend on your usability
I have both and I think that the black one is better build then the white. More solid, well builded and not slippery at all.
The back of the white one is not slippery at all.

A lot of reviews do mention that the black has more grip to it, whether it is all in the mind or not I don't know!
Interestingly I had a Galaxy Tab Pro in white and when I exchanged it for a black one I immediately thought how much better it felt on the back.
Maybe there is a slight difference in the plastics but it's only a theory, I can only go by my experience too.
Kinda off topic here but I urge everyone to buy it in Black. The contrast of the color against the metal sides is just gorgeous. Not quite as apparent on the white model.
Both have a great grip and I wouldn't imagine dropping it easily. That being said my previous device was an M8 so............
I find the metal sides more apparent on the white =p
The white is worse.

Eh, but it's like being the second man on the moon if there's a difference at all, the difference isn't big at all in terms of grip etc. Personally I didn't notice anything. But it clearly isn't slippery at all.
I've got a white one in a black case. The contrast between the black and white is nice. Before putting it in a case, I didn't notice it being slippery. But then this thing is so big, I was being very careful with it.
I was originally planning on getting black, but the Best Buy 200 dollar trade in expired on 11/1, and all they had in stock was white, so I ended up with white. I suppose that I could bring it back and trade it for black when black comes in, but I am getting used to the white one.
They're both beautiful devices. As I mentioned before the black does look a tad bit better though in my opinion. Plus I can imagine the white one getting dirty pretty quickly.

Surprisingly enough, the white one doesn't get dirty :good:
It is very interesting that a few people here find the white one more slippery than the black for some reason. I am looking forward checking this out by myself but I hear that the Note 4 will be out here in Iceland at the end of the week.
Regarding the scratches I would have thought that they might be more apparent on the black metal frame than the white one but that might not be the case either. I hear that the black one tend to surprise people for being more appealing in person because of the metal frame than expected. I am leaning a little towards the black one now.

both are gorgeous in person especially when naked, and it really just boils down to your own preference. the 2 colors are available from my carrier and white was just too beautiful in or outside a case. the black looks nice and is the best looking black Sammy phone i've seen, however, inside a case, it looked to me as similar to all other black, older phones.
P.s. the back of the white is not slippery at all, but despite having the same material as the black, i think this thread has influenced my brain to think the black cover is softer than the white's
I think they may have applied some sort of anti-dirt coating on the back cover of the white variant, which makes it more rigid than the black one.

The white Note 4 is made from the tusks of endangered Rinos. ?

Isn't everything in Iceland more slippery?! LOL

LOL
I tried both phones and they have same materials applied on the back cover!
EXCEPT the white note 4 is more stunning! and by the way, the white is not prone to dirts!
im so impressed!
Hi all,
My contracts just about to run up on my Note 3 so naturally will be looking to upgrade to the S6 Edge+, given that for some stupid reason Samsung decided not to bring the note 5 over to the UK
So my questions is, since they've only released it in Gold and Black and it's now an 'all glass' design, which colour shows fingerprints the least?
I've always had white phones (S3/S4/Note 3) thinking that black was the worst and white would hide finger prints better....Is this the case?
How bad is black for showing fingerprints?
Thanks for any help
Use a case all glass phone,finger prints are gonna be everywhere. From what i read the silver /mirror color gets the most finger prints but it's also the nicest color. I say black. Seriously that phone need a case. I'm getting the platinum sliver looking one or gold and keeps it in a slim case from spigen on it.

I've only had experience with 3 colours
The white shows least - but still very smudgy
The black sapphire - more noticeable than the white but ...
The gold (my current) version shows them very noticeably.
You can buy a matte or glossy rear glass protector with oleophobic coating which will hide a lot of them.
I got the white note 5 because it shows the smudges the least.

You can buy skins form slickwraps.com or dbrand.com which can avoid finger prints.I have ordered silver color phone which i will get in 2 days and same color skin from slickwraps under Metal series.
I read an article about fingerprint issues on these type of phones recently and it was recommending and demonstrating 'Rainex'. This if you didn't know is applied to car windscreens to repel rain, perfectly safe on any glass of course but probably best on the rear glass only as I am sure the screen has an oleophobic coating anyway. It's easy to apply and about £5 from somewhere like Halfords. I am going to try this out myself.

Hi @ all,
I noticed quite a lot of micro scratches on my phone's display. They are not clearly visible, it depends how the light is shining against the display and on the angle. But I am really disappointed with gorilla glass 5. I own the phone for about 2 and a half months now... I use a case/bumper but no screen protective film but I treat my phone very carefully and it always goes into my pocket without any other things, just the phone. I did the same thing with my older S2, S5 and S7 and never got any scratches.
Is it normal for gorilla glass 5 to scratch so easily? I talked with my vendor and he would swap it for another unit using the warranty. But here comes my question: is the display with the red tint still an issue on new units? Could I risk getting a faulty reddish display? Because then I'd rather stick with my micro scratches and live with it.
Thanks a lot.
Yes, you will probably get a reddish display.
No, it is not faulty, it's just how it is.

I ask this because my display has a good white tone and luckily no reddish tint at all. Is the reddish display still an issue with actual units?

Are you using adaptive display ?
Most displays will show reddish on other modes but white on adaptive.

Yes I am using adaptive display but I had previus units which I returned for reddish display even in adaptive display mode. My actual display is fine, despite some micro scratches... don't know if I should bother returning it again and risking to get a reddish display... don't know if it's worth the risk or just stick with the barely visibile micro scratches. What would you do in my situation?
Scratches are normal. Gorilla Glass 5 traded some surface hardness for more resistance to shattering. Basically, the harder the display the easier it brakes but doesn't scratch so much.
So gg4 was more scratch resistant than gg5. But I'd take a scratches but not broken screen over the other way round...

Thanks for the info To be honest, I really don't know what is worse, having a naked display with some barely visible scratches or "ruin" such a great display with a screen protector. :laugh: I hate screen protective films, these displays are just too awesome and should be enjoyed naked without having the fear of scratching them... I ordered a screen protective film but I don't know yet if I will go through the hassle of putting it on, it just doesn't feel right for me.

I first noticed them in a shop which had very bright and glaring room light. I was looking at my phone while the light was shining directly on the display. It was a coincidence more or less, who knows how long they have been there without me noticing them. In everyday use they are barely to not noticeable at all. Depending on the angle you only notice them with direct sunlight or halogen lamps pointing on the screen while the screen is off. Still, for this price the glass is a disappointment.
Has anyone else noticed slight ripples on the underside of their s8 glass screen uniformly along the top near the cameras and sensors.
I say ripples, but this may not be the correct terminology. Kind of like some roller lines from tempering process or screen curving??
These can only be seen under angled lighting conditions and don't show up on a photo.
Just received the s8 as a replacement for a one with really wobbly buttons and only 3 weeks old.
Don't want to send back if normal (as phone is good otherwise).
Some shop display one's seemed to have it to some degree but hard to see the top bezel properly due to lights being too bright.
It's a crease in the front glass panel. My black S8 has a pair of matching (mirror image) creases on the right-side top and bottom corners. They are curved creases in the glass that point to the corners. You can only see it under the right light and angle. It looks like a defect in the curving process. But I am happy with the phone and this doesn't bother me.
I sometimes wonder if this affected a large production batch and those are the units that Samsung sold at $425 (after promotion and rebate, and how I got mine). I cannot imagine that Samsung is unaware of it.
It doesn't look like a crease to me, it looks like either roller lines or moulding marks on the underside of the glass. Only visible under certain lighting.
Anyone else seen this?
