Another nice phone? You obviously never dealt with the G2X and the pile of garbage it was.
A vid of it.

Actually i did and i generally agree with you as most LG phones were released the past 2 years or even more are not that great. I was thinking more compared to their new releases such as the LG Parada 3.0 which i personally think its a pretty cool looking phone. I just hope that they improve their software so it would truly utilize the nice specs. Looks is not the only deciding factor here
All sounds good, but when are phones going to get past the 8MP camera hurdle? The Nokia n8 had 12mp what 2 years ago now?

Megapixels are completely meaningless, how have you not grasped this by 2012?

That's right, but in case anyone is interested Sony Xperia S (and Xperia Ion too I think) has a 12MP camera with Exmor (CMOS) sensor.
I work with LG in Korea and they are very worried about their mobile business at the moment. Samsung are destroying them in the domestic market.

Hi oh mighty flippant one... the n8 also has the Carl Zeiss lens and Xenon flash ... are these meaningless too?

Well I think LG should know why they are losing to Samsung... They make great hardware, but scrappy software(relatively good in p880 though) and horrible customer support(In other countries I don't know about Korea). They don't improve much despite much complains. How would you expect them to not lose to Samsung, which is well received by many?

Nope, but they weren't the topic. When it comes to Fotography in these tiny devices with their tiny lenses, he's right: more than 8 MBits are indeed completely useless. Even much large sensor chips in say a Canon G10, which had 14 Mpixels, had to many ... which is why Canon went back to LESS Mpixels. In fact, more MPixels in such a tiny thing are contraproductive, you get more electrical interference and no gain. The most important thing here is the sensors size, which is tiny in all phones. But: Since they all got completely crappy lenses, it's true, that the better one in the N8 can improve qiality, even with the tiny sensor. If you want anything more decent, the senor has to grow and there needs to be much better (foldable?) optics. The N8 is about the best you can do with such a tiny setup.

Seems so ... although, I had two updates on the 4X after I bought it .. that's not bad. And the phone runs pretty well stock. Maybe they did learn a bit. I'd find it sad, if they get into problems, because no big player like Samsung should be allowed to dominate everything ... pseudo monopolies are crap. Samsungs support is also quite far from perfect. The Update App from them on my Samsung Notebook fails often, can't connect, their server structure for it is extremely slow and you can't even manually download the drivers instead, because they don't maintain their download area properly. Asus is far better for instance in that respect (and still not perfect). Samsung also got too big to care about customers much anymore, but their software has a better developer team than LG. (I also find LGs update software for the PC unspeakably terrible).
Does anyone know how can we check the phone for defects like dead pixels, etc when buying the phone? Does it have any test codes to enter just like Samsung phones with the *#0*#??
Thanks!

You can download "dead pixel test" from the play store.

I've found this test menu code from an online source
*#*#3424#*#*
Can someone with a HTC One help to confirm if the code works on their phone?
Oh my, what is this obsession in this forum with dead pixels. Every day there's a thread about dead pixels. Still wondering how you can detect one dead pixel on a 4.7" 2.1 megapixel display. You have to have microscopic eyes, that's for sure.

Yes, I do agree with you that its pretty difficult to detect a single dead pixel in a 4.7" 1080 HD screen. However, you can use the same test to detect if there's a cluster of dead pixels present. There are also other features that needs to be tested (LED notification, speakers, mic, camera, wifi, etc). Manufacturers only do batch sample testings and does not test each inidvidual phone before shipment. So it is only up to us, the consumers, to test the them out before accepting our purchased products.

Is not obsession. Is about getting a good quality product with the amount of money you are paying! Why get a defected good when you can check before you purchase? If you don't feel like helping at all, don't even reply please.

You're so right and helpful! Unlike others, posting replies for the sake of post counts.
And thanks very much with the code. Hope it will work when I'm purchasing the phone.
The code works. It is not helpful for dead pixel testing.

Crazy hype on this phone!
You could have bought one of the prototypes. Search eBay for item 251319928224. Sold for $1,044.00!

Why does everyone keep hating on the camera? Look through Guy Kawasaki's G+ photos and tell me if those all those unedited photos and videos he took with the MotoX are bad. It may not be the absolute best camera out there and yes, every camera will have some weak spots. But in most real world situations, this camera is still a huge step up for most people and gets the job done, especially for me knowing how crappy the camera is on the Nexus 4. If you want perfect photos, use a DSLR.
..
Isn't nexus 6 pre order goes in few days? Still nobody has a full review of how camera is? Only thing i could find was the verge shots which didn't look great. Do you guys think will there be a review on camera before it's released? Thanks

Camera will be at worst good, and mods/aps will make it amazing, the hardware is there, do not worry about it.
I was wondering the same thing. Seems strange that there is not any camera samples or reviews since the first set of leaked samples...

Its the same sensor as the G3 SK I expect it to be very good, and if the software is bad its no big deal because this is XDA.

LG make the camera app very good, don't know what magic they are using but with IMX 135, F2.4 they are beating phones with IMX214 F1.8/2.0 (Mi4, Oneplusone) and so on, so it will be tough for the N6 without mods/tweaks.

The lower spec Tencent version is not avaliable officially from Asus outside China and India, you can get it from China but you would need to convert it yourself to WW rom and change the fingerprint to WW rom. And you also won't get the official warranty from Asus.

I've to change the fingerprint reader (hardware)? Beh... In that way I would not use it. Not the fastest in the world... Face Unlock and done.
looks more like due to change of refresh rate.... higher refresh rate more red tint
Mine does also perform a slight change when switching between refresh rates, but I can't tell if there is an actual color change or just a brightness adjustment as it is very subtle. I considered this to be normal until now

Nope, it is hardware issue as there is no OLED screen without red tint issue. It is manufacture limitation. The only thing which phone maker can do, shove of display which had a lot of red tint (practically what expensive phone maker do (strict and better QC and QA)) and/or fix it via software (by playing with color, limit contrast and brightness (lot of phone maker do this)).
Dark grey in particular is very hard color to do it right (even on IPS panel). There will always something wrong with the implementation especially on low light condition. This is what Apple (and to some degree Samsung) good at (lol) and Google to boast their Pixel device.
Yes, the tint problem is HW but most of the times manufacturers try to make it less obvious by changing the frequency of the display or the voltage etc. Samsung has done a great job on 2019 devices as my father's A40 has an almost perfect display in terms of color accuracy and brightness
But i've tested the 5% gray test picture on both iphone x and blackberry priv and both of them showed a greenish tint and not much uniformity.
That's why i will always be in love with my old Sony x compact lcd display, it was perfect in every single aspect and I was never worried about burn-in issues.
Still dont understad why people prefer oled to a well made lcd...

Confirmed software. There's another thread on here with a color control mod, and the issue goes away.
I'm pretty sure it's deliberate. For some bizarre reason.
