Didn't watch the video, but the color temp is rather balanced. It isn't too warm. I own an iPhone 5 as well and the Nexus display looks just as good.

Quite honestly it's going to vary wildly from unit to unit as well. I recall once putting 4 iPhone 4's right next to one another and one was green, one was purple, one was orange, and one was blue.

Its not possible to gauge LCD color from a video because the camera changes what it thinks is supposed to be white to pure white, its called white balance. The camera is being white balanced to the iphone, which screws up the way the Nexus looks, it is probably white balancing the iphone because its a lot brighter.
Comparing the colors of LCD's from pictures is pointless, you have to know what you are doing and be using a camera that can set a manual white balance.
As for the whites on the Nexus 4, they are great but should actually be a little bit warmer.

I'm with the op..
I had my Nexus 4 up against an iphone 5 and there's no comparison, the iphone 5's screen blows it out of the water.
I then had it up to the old Galaxy S II I had and the screen was immensely better as well.
Only thing that it looked better then was my nexus 7, and that isnt saying much...

It can be different between devices. I've read that some devices didn't have time for the glue to fully cure and they had a warmer tint because of it, but after a couple days it was sorted out. Possibly the phone in the video has the same problem?
Check out this review. I linked to a spot where he has an all white page for a little bit and you can clearly see it's nowhere close to the phone in your video

Much better comparison IMO here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E406xXr4Mok
And you guys are crazy, or are really hard to please, because this display is gorgeous.

Dude that's a Galaxy Nexus and an iphone 4... the guy is completely ripping off Armando Ferreira's video... and he has comments pending approval so nobody can correct him and put up a creative license LA so he won't be taken down... this has to be the biggest douchebag I've ever seen...

It is highly possible that even the Nexus 4 uses different IPS panels.
We've seen things like that in many devices, be it phones, laptops, and even TVs. Most prominent "case" is probably the Retina Macbook Pro where the LG made panel has way worse quality (LG normally makes god-tier panels, it's just that particular model where they screwed up) than the one manufactured by Samsung.
So, I'm almost certain that, even though LG makes their own panels, the Nexus 4 comes with different panels and some might have different characteristics.
Only side-by-side comparisons or teardowns of different batches will tell if there are in fact different screens used in the Nexus.

The iPhone 5 is a tiny bit more vivid, but if you don't have them side by side it would be difficult to notice the difference. And the screen on my Nexus doesn't look extremely warm like the one in that video. Seems like he got a poorly calibrated unit, or maybe he had the brightness lower on the Nexus and it made it look warmer.

Here's some comparison shots with the iPhone 5.

Wow...my Nexus 4 screen is almost identical to the iPod Touch 5G (the one with the same panel as the iPhone 5) in terms of temp and whites. That looks like a bad screen to me.

my screen is more in line with the pictures posted above....

The one in the video looks bad, I agree, but mine is fine. If anything, the iPhone 5's screen is slightly too warm, but in real world use (aka, not in pictures), my Nexus 4 and iPhone 5 screens look very similar.

The video doesn't mean anything, as someone stated before camera white balancing will do weird things to the image. The best any only way to accurately compare the two is side by side, in person..which is exactly what I did with my friend's iphone 5 yesterday. There is absolutely zero difference in quality between the two screens. Brightness is fantastic on both, colors look amazing, etc. Go test in person at an apple store or with a friend's iphone 5 and see for yourself.

[Q] Should the next Note have a 6"-inch screen?

Screen type, size and resolution seem to be the crucial discerning factor for mobile phones. the Note 2 stepped up its size, and was an even bigger success than the Note 1. So should the next Note step up to a 6-inch screen ?
+1 Yes or -1 No?

Yes, but only if the phone size stays the same

Well only if it has flexible screen because the galaxy S IV its coming 5" flexible super Amoled HD 440 ppi and I think that it's pretty hard to beat that since where are you gonna put the Spen with a flexible screen so I guess my next device its gonna be SIV

No please, if i want a bigger screened note i'll buy a 7".

Yes because being that much bigger won't matter much to me at all. This phone fits in my pocket with room to spare let's fill it up

If it has no bezel at all, then yeah, I might just be able to use it with one hand. which is where my limit lies.

This might actually work. Starting out with the Note 2 and sacrificing the SAMSUNG logo at top, and making the bottom homescreen button much narrower.
Edit: Come to think of it. It is not actually a (secret) 4-way navigation button, right? I actually can't tell from the feel of it....

I took a ruler across my Notes screen and 6 inches of screen will be a tight fit.
If the physical button is made into capacitive doesn't count as that's not part of the screen.
I think the Current Note/Note 2 should not get any bigger in total physical size as that would go too much into tablet territory.
A 6 inch screen in my opinion would be the absolute max I would like to see this phone go to. Any bigger and I wont buy it.

I dont mind if the machine keep the same size as 3.2 x 5.8 inch, and screen is 6 inch, it should be able to fit the 6 inch in if it is kind of frameless.
It is possible.
But seems better if keep the screen as 5.3 inch size, and decrease the overall of the machine size to something like GS3.

Here are a few photos to get an idea of a 6-inch phone. In fact, on second thought, a surface-like touch-keyboard should be built into the cover.
Screens are taken from
here
Actually I do believe a 6-inch Samsung phone will be coming by the end of 2013. But this is pure speculation based on the rate at which Samsung churns out phone-models. It is harder for Samsung to make a 6" phone, b/c big high quality, high res screens are more complicated to make and because they break easier. Samsung has unprecedented brand value, and as such they fare better making no product (i.e. devices which never see the public eye) rather than a disastrous product with lots of bad press.
Would I want one? Perhaps, after I have watched many youtube videos and read reviews with real-life photos.

Amazing
But I guess its toooooooo big for a phone!
I remember when NOTE was released and I wondered if I should really buy it. I went to the store, checked it out and felt comfortable with it for daily use coz I could put it in my pocket and still use it as a 'phone'. BUT 6.3" I dunno! Maybe that's the end of the line for me!

LOL samsung should be crazy to put 6"+ screen PHONE unless its border-less with no keys, just whole screen .. yeah that would be cool :good:

-1 Samsung should focus more on productivity and entertainment for the next generation of the note. Even more processing power, more ram for another level of multitasking, more focus on the camera and photography features(which I doubt will happen because of the galaxy camera). The s pen of the note 2 was greatly improved upon but I feel that even more improvements can be add to the s pen. If they do decide to enlarge the screen, 5.7 should be the MAX!

From a psychological perspective the screen specs just have to have at least a 6 in them. Few would upgrade otherwise. Note = Screen. Case in point: apples product line and the journalistic endnotes they receive
I am pretty convinced that Sammy will go the way of virtual Android Homebutton in their new Note. Hate it or love it. And it will be pretty soon: Q2/Q3 2013

very nice render!
gonna nit pick here just for fun:
looks like the "rubbery" looking outer border is a bit thicker on the left side than the right side. Could just be my eyes though.
that "rubbery" looking material looks super nice though!
another nitpick:
the volume buttons curve inwards on the top and bottom, the power button does not. personally, i prefer the non curved style of the power button as you pictured it.
truly great job though!
if you make it, ill buy it

Same design Almost looks like n4.. nothing new for me .. just so excited to see 4.4
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2

Um. I don't know if you're just trolling and people are going along with it but that's exactly what the N4 looks like.

I don't know why we need a render anyways when we have the actual pictures of the device.

Is that large inlaid square on the far left a much more respectable speaker?

To be honest that looks just like an N4, even the curves at the top and bottom resemble a N4 more than the leaked pictures of the N5. And even the bezel looks like an N4
Conclusion this is a render of an N4

Yes it looks similar to Nexus 4 but IMO it is a good thing.
I tried some other phones but nothing pleased me more than the Nexus 4, even in the design. So a Nexus with similar design would be great.

What about the back? The front is a screen, thats a given, but the back is the main place which gives the phone its design.

Hard to say, its circular as opposed to long and slender like on most phones. I think a lot will depend on the audio hardware they use, which is kind of an unknown.

probably some internal components location relative to the screen or other significant part (battery, radio etc), as a prototype engineer/machinist I see compromises like that made all the time. The fact that they got a 5" screen into a frame smaller then the N4 is pretty significant and was probably due to a few design/construction compromises.

I like the chin on phones.. especially when they dont have the home/back/menu buttons on them. gives me a place to hold when im holding it sidways to take pictures..that way my hand wont touch anything before i actually want to take the shot..also, a phone without a chin would be a bit ugly in my honest opinion. Loving the form factor of this phone, all except for the lens..but hey, its a nexus, cant complain when its 200+ dollars cheaper than most phones off contract.

It depends on whether Google pays to use that licensed name or not
lets discard the idea that the name is related to size.
Also, I would say that our current Nexus 5 is a very 2014 device since released very late on 2013 (the first nexus 7 was release on July 2012 and 2nd, July 2013).

NO thanks, I do not like curved phones.

Im guessing this: 1440P display, 64 bit cpu (not sure exactly), 3gb ram, 13mp camera with ois, android 5.0 or 4.5 w/art as stock & 64 bit support, usb 3.0 (really hope this is in).
Oh, and broken SU...

Nexus devices are already kind of a niche product, it would be stupid to make it either curved or any larger than 5 inches, both of those categories are in the niche categories themselves.

Looks cool but unstable on a table. Needs to be curved the other way IMHO

don't forget that the nexus 4 was 4.7 inches. they could use the nexus 5 name and keep increasing the size in different, smaller, increments.

For me 5" inch is the perfect screen size, both in the hand and pocket.

Waiting to get any curved phone into my hand already before I could tell I like it or not ^^

there are certain things like music controls and torch controls and such that i need access to with one hand. but anytime i am actually zero'd in on my smartphone, i am using both hands, so i tend to prefer the bigger screens. i haven't quite figured out what my limit is on screen size

Curved? No thanks.
Also not a fan of Windows 8 GUI and navigation style, and still use Windows 7 because it does what I need it to.
Go figure.
What would I want in a Nexus 6/Nexus 5 gen. 2? New high-end CPU/GPU, more RAM I suppose, higher MP camera. You know, that sort of thing. Ooh, root and SU option on stock Android? :laugh: :highfive:

I agree with you mate forget about the curved screen and concentrate on the rest of the specs like memory capacity for instance 32/64gb built in 3 or 4gb ram better CPU /GPU

Does no one remember that the nexus S was curved. Shape wise, it was nice to hold and pocket. The only thing was the earpiece could be a little uncomfortable as the edge pressed against your ear more, but that is solvable. Of course, the screen was flat and only the body curved.
Some advantages are: placing it on tables etc mean little chance of scoring or scratching the screen; also rear facing speakers are either up face down, or not in contact with the surface face up.
PS the issue with the nexus s was Samsung's cheap, plastic build quality and feel. But the shape was good

Curved phone worked well on the lg flex. T-Mobile showed me the flex he had it in his pocked as its not on sale until next week. The phone is huge! But because of the curve and it really wasn't burdensome. I think from here on out curved phones should be a must for phablets

No curved phone please. Flexible is another thing but for stiff curved I cannot think any preferable reason.

I will be so upset if the make it curved.
