I'm going to buy Optimus 4X and I'm confused whether to buy white or black version.
Are they equal in quality? What about scratches and dust? On which color they tend to be more visible?
Id go with the black. You can see black border around screen on white, not visible on black. Plus you could always get a case to change colour later or buy a different colour battery cover, so just personal preference really. Either way you won't be disappointed, great phone.

There is a black border, but I have a white device, and it is not annoying at all. I wouldn't change it for black one though, but both colours look great on this phone, and I like the textured back; I have the phone for 3-4 months and not a single scratch!
Good morning guys!
When I set my brightness to all low I get purplish Grey colors, is that normal? Anyway I'm going to shop some moto x's today at mall to see if they behave the same way.
Thanks in advance.
Yes, normal. I believe its just cuz of the amolded screen. I've noticed same thing first night I bought it brand new out the box.

Normal I think to a certain degree of course.. The phone comes equipped with a Super AMOLED screen which displays pure blacks. The screen is basically off when its displaying black that's why a lot of the menus and active notify is black to reduce power consumption. :thumbup:
I've read in some reviews that the screen behaved like this, with purple in Grey areas.. But I was wondering why Motorola would do that in their top shelf phone, when the brightness is on the minimum value it's a clear purple color when I drag the notification bar down in the messages app.
Idk maybe cause I'm outside but the notify bar is black to me. Maybe you got a lemon

The bar is black but the shadow it makes in the background when you start dropping it is purple in mine.
Could be.. Looks a little bluish purple to me too that's just the screen I think. The nexus 5 has a LCD IPS screen they display true blacks like the iPhones.:thumbup:
My X has the same purple color.

That's probably the only benefit over the X.
I dig the super Amos they are power savers and durable. Screen quality is adqueate enough to be high end its a 720p Samsung panel IMHO it's good for the phone and its makes features possible.
I'm coming from an iPhone 5 and the moto x has waaay deeper black than the iPhone, everything is really gorgeous on the screen except for that purplish at low brightness levels. I personally prefer low brightness at night for eye comfort when using the phone lying in the bed. I'll try to take some pictures and post up here for a comparison.
Anyone else with this purple color too?
When the brightness is either all the way or almost all the way to the minimum, my Moto X and Droid Maxx both look this way. I just don't use auto brightness and keep it bumped up until it's no longer purplish.
Just shopped some phones today at mall. They all had the same purple color at low brightness. This was such an disappointment for me, I really loved the screen but this ruined my experience a bit.
So I received my 2nd Gen Moto X last Friday. I upgraded from a 1st Gen Moto X which I absolutely love. One of the weird things that I've noticed between the two phones, is the color of the screen when it's off.
The screen on my 1st gen looks almost completely black, but the screen on the 2nd gen has a dark brown tint to it.
I've noticed this when both screens are off and I have them laying next to each other under identical lighting conditions.
Has anyone else noticed this on their phone, or have some type of explanation as to why the screen looks a dark brown instead of a dark black?
Thanks!

More pixels. Look at a galaxy s5 (another 1080p amoled). No amoled screen looks completely black in certain light. My s2 looked blue, nexus s looked like a rainbow.

I'm curious if you know why having more pixels changes the color of the screen when it's not on.

using s5, s5 screen is totaly black equals to 0, if you see it in dark room or mid night without any light, you will found screen is not working but in reality its true black thats my fav part, its new amoled technology, unlike moto using oldest tech..
My blacks are... black? lol.
There is sometimes a slight yellow tint on pure white depending on the viewing angle, but I chalk that up to AMOLED and the price to pay for true black.

That's not what were talking about. And just for reference, the moto x is exactly the same.
He's talking about with the screen off. At the right angle there's a brown tint. After looking at it further, turning the phone the tint turns to blue like all the other amoled panels. It just has something to do with the pixel layout.

Not true, my 1st gen Moto X which also has an AMOLED display is completely black when the screen is off, no matter which way you look at it. Hell, even my old Samsung Galaxy Nexus with a Super AMOLED display is completely black.
I'm wondering now if there's something wrong with the display or what. I'll have to find a couple of other Moto X's to compare them I guess.

i know the reason, previous moto phones had black tint on glass on screen, means glass is black, but in s5 and other phones have no tint on glass thats why it looks brown and more bright..

I'm not buying it. The black tint would have to be pretty dark to get rid of the brown, which would also make all the colors really dull on the screen.
I'm just not sure why it matters what color the screen is when its off? Don't you usually use it when the screen is on ?

Mainly I just want to check to see if everyone's screen is like this (brown tint), or if it's just a few because there was a bad batch of screens or something.

Mine is like that when I look at it at a sharp angle in the light when the screen is off. It's simply just the type of screen, it is not a defect.

I don't think you're using this phone right. Most of the functionality that makes this phone awesome is that I use it a lot when the screen is off
i have one question, i used s3 s4 and s5,
s3 display black level was deeper but not true black like no pixel is working, like on s4 and s5 which have perfect black with 0 opacity, (im not talking about off display)
is the display which is in moto x 2014 and in nexus are also good, they have perfect black or like s3 ?

Lol they're all deep black. My first amoled was the nexus s, then galaxy s2 . the pixels shut off, its as black as can be. Maybe because of the resolution you'd notice some color fade from illuminated pixels, but the black ones were off.
I was looking around for this info and this thread was the only thing I could find about this observation. Even though I don't have the Moto X, I've noticed this on other phones, specially with amoled screens. There's a difference between screens on the same phones when they are turned off, you can notice it under direct light. Side by side, for any reason the black phones tend to have a brown tint and the white phones are completely dark. I only notice this when displays are turned off. I'm comparing two sets of identical phones, just different bezel colors. I don't think this is an issue at all, It's just an observation, however they look the same when they are on.
Just got my note 4... upgrading from a galaxy s3.
I notice on the lower capacitive buttons there are visible lines in front of the lights, same for the top led indicator.
Normal?
Yes.

I'm guessing you got black right?
My last 3 phones have been white and i was planning on a black N4......but once i noticed the choppy look the lines made to the capacitive buttons on the display model, i went with white again. Same lines just not visible due to lighter coloring.
That is the design. It not defective it normal
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Yes I got the black.... it may not be defective but it's annoying!
Thanks for the quick reply!
I'm sending mine back today. Getting a replacement because of the PINK screen that occurs when the light hits the device. I'm getting the White one. Looked at a tmobile store And the black was the same as mine. And the whites WHITE was clearly different than mine. Mine seems brighter but it also has that tint and the my white looks sort of blue.
Sent from another Galaxy! Note the difference!
I got the black and I have the lines too. It's one of the few things I don't like about this phone, it just looks like a manufacturing defector something. It's not enough to make me get the white one though, I had a white iphone and that glaring white border every time I looked at it was too distracting.

I keep hearing this more and more and from my experience it rings true, many of the black notes seem to have purple tint and less overall brightness.....
It has good brightness..the black just has more brighter whites than the white note 4. why? I don't know overall brightness is the same.
Sent from another Galaxy! Note the difference!
The first black one i saw in store was not as bright as my note 3 and the whites were purple/bluish......almost passed on the note till i tried out a different display model a few days later, it then became apparent that there were some notes with the issue and some without....i went with white because of the issue the op is talking about....don't like the lines through capacitives...makes them look choppy
Anyone else's display seem to have a yellowish tint? Mine seems very yellow looking at it straight on. But when I look at it angled either from the bottom or top it looks perfectly white with just a slight bluish tint. Either way it looks much better than yellow.
So what I'm trying to figure out is of I got a bad unit and if I should go get a new one. Only reason I am even considering not exchanging is the whole "scratchgate" bs.
Anyone care to weigh in?
BTW I have the 64gb black.

Comparing mine next to my LG g3 I noticed a yellow tint as well. Not a deal breaker for me as I rarely compare screen to screen but I've owned a gs2,gs3, and gs4 and there is always some yellowish tint discussion that pops up. You can keep exchanging until you get a more bluish tone but I don't have the energy any more lol. Screen still looks great to me!!
Blame AMOLED tech. Your options right now are a slightly yellow screen with generally more accurate color reproduction or a slightly blue screen with less accurate overall color reproduction but mildly more pleasant whites (to most people).
It wouldn't be a big deal but its really bad because its centered. By that I mean when I look at all the different sides from straight on I can tell they are more blueish and it makes the center look even more yellowed. I realize the amoleds generally run warmer in tone but it seems to me that the whole screen should at least carry the same tone from the same angle. Obviously because of the curved nature the color will shift on the actual edges of the screen but everything else ought to be the same color/tone.
Or am I totally off base here?

Return your phone and get a different brand?

Doesn't really answer the question which is...
A: is it possible that my display is defective since it really only shows a warm yellow tone in the center most portion of the screen?
B: is this going to be true for all sgs6e's or is there a chance of having one where the tone is the same throughout the entire display face.
I understand color shifting and how is inevitable, but I would at least like my screen to have the same tone from top to bottom (obviously the edges will have a different tone done they are being seen at an angle when viewing the phone head on) rather than Top:Cold Middle:Warm Bottom:Cold
Sent from my Samsung GS6edge
Just turned on Adaptive Display which seems to make the whole screen more uniform in tone temperature however angles are still a bit of a..... well..... bi*** because they remind me of the pure white coloring I've grown to know so well. But I suppose this is far more livable than before which was almost unbearable (thanks OCD).
May still try to swap for a new unit in a week or so just to see if anything has changed.

I have s6 edge too (32gigs black) (Indian Variant) and I also have the same problem. Coming from note 4 so this yellowish tint really is deal breaker for me!
you sure it isnt the adaptive screen setting?
what I found is if you are using the adaptive screen mode and reading a webpage w/ lots of text, it sometimes will change the tint to warmer which ends up with a yellowish screen instead of white, which may cause you to think that the screen is yellow (thats what I thought the first time I saw it)
try to change the screen type to some other settings and see if that get you the white color?
I am having the same problem. I know it's a defective screen because I have two S6 Edges here.
My black sapphire 32 gb has a white screen
My new gold platinum 64 gb has a yellow screen and its very annoying. I'm probably gonna exchange it

Hello . Please do tell if you use a screen protector film or glass . Cause i have the exact same problem and everybody saye it's the protector but i dont think so . It happend after a bootloop and because the phone turned too hot before i download the stock rom i decided to put it in refrigerator. Battey ran out and when It realized it the phone was too cold maybe next to 0 degree . After the flash was done I noticed the color has changed . So I'm kinda unsure
