I have two Nexus 7's, Both have different screens.

I have two nexus 7's, one is a replacement which i got last week and the other is from the day of release.
While both screens have the same colours and resolution you can clearly see the difference in the photo below
Tablet on the left is the new one, the one on the right is the launch day model

I had 4 replacements and two had different screens than the other two. Even different from each other.

Different factories?

I will compare my n7 to my brothers tonight

New screens are worse...the vibrance on mine is terrible; colours have no depth.

I think is the quality of the IPS display. Because some ips displays are factory calibrated differently.

Most probably a different vendor for the screen. Asus does not make everything and some of the parts are sourced from different vendors (they should all have the same specs within tolerance). We used to face this when I worked with Laptops @ Dell.
The only difference I have seen (with laptop screens) is that sometimes a part form one vendor may be more prone to faults than the other. No way of telling which though till more defects are found.
You should be fine. But interesting observation though..

i went through 3 rmas with asus and i can tell you the difference is not screen dependent, but calbration dependent...they changed my screen 3 times, only the third time color changed, and thats because they changed the board(which downgraded me to an 8gb variant-.-)

Same here. I have a C60 8gb from August and a C90 16gb bought in late October, and the screens are different. Very very clearly different.

I have to say there is absolutely no visible difference between my two
Only the way light reflects off of it, I was hoping for better colours.

I think I see what the plan here is.
Make Nexus7 owners believe someone else has a better screen than them, and raise the RMA level....
Sneaky Apple, very sneaky...

Yea differnent release models.. Different hardware. The new screen should have some advantage over the old one, maybe longer lasting, maybe its brighter, or maybe its just cheaper to manufacturer lol

what does Apple have to do with this??
Anyway... is there a difference in touch response? i have the C70 model and it isnt as good as my Galaxy Nexus in touch responses.

When I was purchasing a replacement screen for my laptop on ebay I could choose from different companies that all made screens for that specific laptop. ie Samsung or LG.

Camera comparison: N4 vs. iPhone5 (large image file embedded)

My co-worker (iPhone5) and I (N4) each tried to take an identical photo of some bourbon I bought the other day. The side-by-side is below. Granted, this test is close to meaningless, because he might have been shaking during his photo, but I was still pleased to see how much better the N4 output is compared to the iPhone 5 for this particular photo.

PHILLY!
What was the actual color of the wall behind?

Wow, N4 is much nicer in that situation. Probably isn't true for all though...

That 20 year old tastes fantastic - have been lucky enough to try it on a few occasions

The actual wall color looks like what is shown in the N4 photo.

Yeah, and the 23-year is like a symphony in your mouth! Too bad the Pappy brand is so hard to come across these days

This confirms what I have seen from these two cams. The iPhone uses a lot of algorithms to make photos "pop", much like setting an SLR to output vivid jpegs. N4 seems to be less agressive with exposure and post-processing.
I can only explain the iPhone image looking fuzzier as being due to camera movement (it does have a better lens).

Yeah, it seems like the camera on the N4 is not adding any effects, allowing you to adjust it in the app itself.
I can see why Apple wants to adjust it a bit though, they are targeting people who just want to take a picture and leave it as it is. Though it might be true of Android customers too, it doesn't seem like Google has that as a priority.

Wow. The iPhone picture looks bright and washed out. The n4 looks darker yet has more detail. Also, the iPhone picture looks like you'd be drinking something watered down and the n4 pic looks like some manly stuff I'd drink even though I don't drink.
I voided my warranty.

As someone who owns both phones. This is a one off situation. The iPhone 5 has a better camera.

yeah, my gf has the iphone5 and i will say it has better photos in about 90% of situations... either way, they are two of the best phone cameras on the market so im okay with either

As another person who owns both devices, I have to agree. The nexus 4 does have a decent camera though.

[Project] Colored Nexus X

Hello everyone,
First of all i want to give you some informations about the reason for this project:
When the Nexus 4 has been leaked in 2012 there were a lot of rumors about the Nexus branding on the back, many people wanted the X to be colored, but Google decided not to do it.
Here's an example what it could have looked like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I owned a Nexus 4 for 1 month, until it was stolen
After a while without a Nexus device, i decided to get a Nexus 10 and Nexus 5 in 32GB.
In another thread i've seen a picture of a Nexus 5 with a colored X on the back, i really wanted to know how to get this done.
So i tried many things out to make the colored X possible.. without any succes.
Here are some sample pictures of my ideas:
It has failed because the lettering is very small and you have to work very precisely , which is not possible for a hobbyist.
By chance I looked at the back of my Nexus Tablets 10 and got another idea.
The lettering on the tablet is engraved and its possible to make the X colored with special painting, found on the internet.
I have a lot taped , sanded , degreased and then applied the paint.
Overall, it took me 4 hours of work , but the result was worth it I think.
Opinions ?

Looks good but for me it wouldn't be worth it because I always have it in a case since I'm always taking it places

Looks great! Very nice!

looks horrible. Not OEM quality at all. I'm not being mean. Its just an opinion.

:good:

Good idea poor execution. Have you thought about re-doing the process? Seems like you could use a tutorial video on hand-painting crafts. Even with the poor lighting and angle we can see the severe imperfections from a, what seems to be, rushed paint job. I can't imagine it took you 4 hours to paint the X with such poor results.
It can look good if done properly, yes, but for the sake of having color I would say it does not look good I this case.
Just posting my honest opinion.

Thanks for sharing. Great idea, but imho you can't get OEM quality without special technology of painting

Can't wait to try the port. Been really wanting to create a theme for this UI on android but was waiting for official screen shots or something. Whatcha guys think? Of course its got a long way to catch up to Android, if it even can. Just neat to try out.

So much win! After a few months development is taking off and I'm really looking forward to giving my N5 a totally different feel, other than installing different launchers and mods

Will test for sure!

I wonder when is soon.
I'm waiting for this I want to try something else than android.

Never heard of it. Looks clean

Saw Jolla on engadget once, I like their phones and the look of the OS. Then again my favorite color is teal so mayve that has something to do with it

awesome !

Any news about port for n5?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED !!!!!
Sailfish OS looks absolutely stunning and with the N5 just getting other OS's like firefox and ubuntu i'm really excite for this.
Sailfish OS deserves much more hype than its getting.

will apps for android work on this OS? looks really nice

yes it has support for android applications but I believe its native applications are more important as they will fit the design and functionality of the SailFish style guidelines. Android support is just something that helps people transition easier by starting out with a large app market.

Awesome!

Look forward to porting to N5!!

This source is nothing more than a photoshop. If you look at the picture you can see that the phone in the picture looks slightly similar to the Nexus 5 but it isn't the Nexus 5.
The earpiece is different, the proximity sensor is on the wrong side etc.

Yes, but he hashtagged the Nexus 5 and use images from the Nexus 5 to make that image. He needs to post something substantial then a fake image. I'm hoping too, fingerscrossed.

Look at this reply from Jolla when asked about when can we expect sailfish on N5.
P.S.: sorry for typo in original mail. "Greetings" Autocorrect-ed to "getting"

just heard that there will be a sailfish launcher out for android before the ROM and that the ROm is due before Q3. In case anyone wanted to know

Why are you running nekkid? That's askin for trouble...

Maybe you should invest in a case rather than keep smashing your phones up

I wouldn't take my phone out of my carpeted living room until I put a screenie and a case on it. Especially the nexus... Its so inexpensive compared to top end devices that u can use that savings on some protection.

You're on a development forum. There's so many people here that carry 2 phones. I'm one of them since my iPhone 5 is a work phone. I figured it wasn't your phone though that's why I said "she" knows to put a case on it.

A few weeks ago i was getting changed after football and forgot my phone was in my jeans, so after picking them up it fell out and dropped to the concrete. Those few seconds where time stops and you dread looking at it, then reaching down in what feels like slow motion...
Turns out it landed on the corner and just a slight unnoticeable scratch on the edge. Phew.
