I wanna buy this phone, but i play a lot on my phone and i'm curious if the curved display give some problem when playing.
Only thing i sometimes have is that the edge screen is being touched bij my hand while holding the fone down with netflix. Maybe that would be an issue with gaming since its registering touches there..
Also i dont see the benefit of the edge function. If the s7 was also 5.5 i never buyed the edge anyway.

Exactly. The curved screen is pretty good-looking but, indeed, only good-looking.

I've done.this so that people can understand the importance of being still!!!
I wasn't even visibly shaking either by,the way, the camera is just sensitive,... Remember this!
so here is a picture with hand movement (minimal)
and here is a picture exactly the same that I took. I tried very hard to keep still this time
both were in an unlit room this afternoon which is pretty dark, that's why I used flash too
with handshake by wezzel98765, on Flickr
with still hands whilst stood by wezzel98765, on Flickr
This truly is the reason why,so many people hate their phone picture quality I think. I could've been more still on the second picture too...
Ah, so one shouldn't shake his hands while taking a picture? Awesome... would have never guessed that one. Perhaps I should trying pouring my next drink without shaking as well.
Seriopusly though... This is not why ppl are bothered with the camera (although hey, wouldn't OIS solve this at least partially... why not add that to the camera). It's the noisiness/white balancing/auto mode. Anyway, it's all a matter of expectations and taste. Flame on
Haha
I think people are saying that their pictures aren't clear because they are moving their hands slightly
Yes the noise is a pain,in,the backside.
You could drop the ISO to 200 instead of using 500.
But you got no shake in there at 1/8s (going by the text on the box and cans ), which is good.
Do you use the dedicated camera button or touch to focus on the screen ?

My brother sent me xperia z1 from canada after he broke front glass of it. I am living in Moga(punjab 142001) india. I asked a local wholesale shop for the display unit replacement. They took 2 days and arranged a whole front panel replacement for me. It costed me only INR.3500. After fixing the phone the result left me in shock . see by yourself.
Colors are any better?
Screen Replacement
i also got that too! my phone accidentally falls to the floor (with a carpet) but it hit a hard object from the floor, causing my screen unusable. after a week i drop-by to a repair shop and ask for a replacement which last about 4 hours. after some test with the screen, the viewing angles is not bad as it was before the replacement!

try to play the "White Balance" settings. my currently settings is 5,5,69 (R,G,B)
what about battery life with screen on ?!
if it is ips then you should see better battery life >>
That is too blue man, disturbing. I was asking about the colors on the new screen.
Came to my mind also. But it actually feels like battery life is better than before. I will post results today after using it.
Colors are bit washed out than the origional i think.. But i have galaxy s5 i campared with it maybe thats why i feel it to be washed out because s5 display is too much.
I have tried to compare new z1 display with s5. Colors are dark and poppy on s5 but image patterns and effects are more visible on z1.
Before buying the phone I just wanted to know about it's size.
I've read a lot about the phone and the only thing that concerns me is it's 6" display.
I know that it is similar to a 5.5" device(thanks to its FHD+ display) but still I don't know if it'll be too big or not.
So can someone tell me about its ease of one hand usage , and also will it fit in a jeans' pocket?(I'm a bit skinny )
I have to choose between AZMPM1 and Honor 9 lite. And the only reason I have honor in mind is it's small display Asus rocks otherwise.
I really don't want to walk around with a huge uncomfortable pocket.
SO WILL Asus be too big or will it be comfy?
One hand use is quite comfortable as its not much wide , rather its on taller side. For typing purpose you can use it single handedly.

I owned almost every Galaxy S device from the last 10 years but some stood out in a negative way...
The S8 had display uniformity issues and my 3rd one was kinda ok so I kept it. The S9 and S10 were flawless display wise but the S20... Oh boy.
I'm on my 4th(!) S20+ now and I guess it will be my last because I return it and keep my S10.
The display is uniform as hell. Brighter at the top, darker at the left and bottom left and when 120hz is enabled it's reddish as hell. With 60hz it's ok with higher brightness but with lower brightness it's a mess.
As seen on my pic.
I don't get it why reviewers don't talk about that.
Shame on you Samsung.
So because u have a little bit of a red tint at the lowest brightness its the worst amoled panel? I dont think anyone uses the panel like your example. I have the same problem but guess what in EVERYDAY NORMAL use i do not see it ....at all. Sure if testing for it then yea. Enjoy your s20 there worst things to cry about especially in these times.

Not just with lowest brightness. Even with low brightness and because dark mode has so much gray backgrounds it just looks bad. If it was at least the whole display but it's just the left and bottom left side of the display.
This isn't a 50€ device. I paid 900€ for it.
I haven't got any issue AT ALL with my panel. This is just isolated cases and most people don't have the problems you're showing here
However I've seen a lot of people having green tint issues with their S20
Also stating that it is the worse panel of the S branch while you just checked it on only one model...

Did you read what I wrote? I had a S2, S4, S5, S7, S8, S9, S9+, S10+ and had 4 different S20+ (3 Exynos and one Snapdragon) and every one of these 4 had these Display issues.
People like you should not get new phones you break it before time is.
I dont have any issues with the phones i have at all, and btw you are lucky it is only 900€ i pay almost twice that cause of taxes.
Lottery oled panel like it is every year. The worse oled panel goes to the OnePlus 8 pro
It is the same for me, the panels are a mess. I am on my sixth device (I never ever changed out a device, always thought people who do are nuts).
This is the sixth device. All 5 before were simply a mess. They had bad uniformity and green tints at 120Hz. It was unacceptable for 1550€ phones.
I am glad, if one does not have that or does not notice it, but it is simply there and I was not really nitpicky about it, it was instantly and clearly visible when using the devices in dark environments.
Device number 6 is made in Korea and almost flawless, uniformity wise, at an acceptable level. The 5 before were not, simply.

PS: S9 and S10 were flawless, even my S8 was ok. But the S20 panels are a mess from what I saw.
Just checked, but on my s20 ultra at 120hz at lowest brightness i see not change in color anywhere.
I just checked my S20 Ultra Exynos, made in Vietnam. No uneven colours or brightness at both 120Hz and 60Hz.
Good for you guys The one I am having NOW is fine as well Number 6.

S20 + or Ultra ?
S20 ultra HK version (SD865) and no issues here - the screen is awesome!
Displaymate seem to think the same - its also awesome
http://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_S20_ShootOut_1U.htm
Obviously they hand-hand-hand picked the display / unit sending out to displaymate...

Had one awful Ultra and then 3 bad, 1 not too bad and 1 great plus. Took me 6 devices not to get angry every evening noticing the awful display.

LOL, the return department must love you!
I only checked them and did not remove anything - it is by law that you are allowed to check 'like in a store'.
And really, why should I put up with a defect display for 1550€ (ultra) or 1250€ (plus)? That is 1717USD...
Same here in my Exynos regular S20, not terrible but not ideal, and much more noticeable at 120hz. I think the push to 120hz has meant in some ways were worse off. Think about it, we're using first gen 120hz OLED displays instead of very mature tech in 60hz displays like the one on the S10 where more of the kinks have been ironed out.
But...I could easily be wrong also!
S20 Ultra here too, and i dont see any issues whatsoever.
And just for general information i owned a Huawei Mate 20 Pro for a brief period, with some app backgrounds, there was uniformity issues with solid colours, however i did find it was being caused by some kind of app and wasn't the actual screen. From memory after playing a YouTube video it would stuff up. You will probably find chatter about that in that forum here.
This feels like a TV forum, where they get grey cards out desperate to find faults that no human can see under normal viewing conditions, whats the point?

Because the phones are expensive as hell.
is there a way to crop the screen edges so that i can see games and everything with flat edges instead?
any type of android screen cropper tool/app will be appreciated if they exist.
THANKS in advance!
I don't understand your reasoning for purchasing a device with a waterfall screen if you have no intentions on utilizing it

I completely understand your frustration, I bought tipping point when I was bored just to see what it was like and it's a good little quiz game.
However the bottom and top part of the game is cropped off.
So yep, I know what you mean, I think perhaps changing aspect ratio may help.... Or maybe changing resolution.
Could complain to 1+
Or even ask the developer to accommodate your screen, we can't be alone with this as waterfall screens are quite common..

Good luck finding a high end device today without a waterfall edge screen.
I honestly prefer flat square 16:9 but they are quite extinct.

I remember phones that lets you ply game and force phones down to 1080p 16:9 but they all removed that option like taking a step back in technology.
Is it that hard for them to add an option in display below the full screen to have 16:9?
The only app i found that can do such a thing is screen shift in the ply store. Needs root but i will try it.
Lets you choose resolution per app as well
I'm with you guys on preferring a flat screen but I have to admit, one benefit of a curved screen is edge gestures are way more comfortable/satisfying compared to swiping on a flat screen!

No not at all, some Devs will give this option. Most video players do..
Just a case of asking for it, you may even be able to edit a config file for what it outputs
