Does the Note suffer from the green tint?

I was put off the Galaxy S2 because of the screen. Unless you look straight onto it I can see a green tint and if move the device the screen has a green shimmer to it which gets on my nerves and reduces the screen brightness to my eyes.
Ive been told this is the glass coating, does the Note have the same effect / tint?

The green tint was criticized in a German review of the Galaxy Note. Thereafter, the review was updated. It nows says that many users with phones having a green tint got a replacement and that the newer phones do not have this issue.

Ordered and returned a Galaxy S2 to Amazon.co.uk this week because I just couldn't adjust to the green tint, also the plastic made my hand sweat!? So is it a bad batch or is it like the iPads and iPhones which have 2 or 3 different screen manufactures - some yellowish, some redish.
The Note looks like a killer device with all of the goodness of the S2 plus a stylus and I really don't want to order a iPhone 4s but I'm hovering on the order button....

no green tint here. but even if there was, the 2 year warranty would cover it.

Green tint here, although it's not very noticable.

Neither my S2 or note have a green tint.
Also, the S2 was noted to have the best screen on a mobile device..

no tint here.
In fact my S2 comparing to note have a blue tint on white and the note it is more natural.

I wish I wont have a problem.

Not sure abt green but the two S2 I went thru had a severe blue tint. Was extemely excited abt the S2 and purchased 3 different cases, a car charger and the mhl adapter even before I got the phone.
The blue tint was so bad at the slightest of angles that it was simply unbearable. Got it replaced but the same story again. Finally caved in and bought the Sensation, but the screen was unbelievably inferior when compared to my HD2 and had that returned too.
Completely torn between the Nexus and the Note and jus can't make up my mind. That said, my HD2 running Hyperdroid CM7 is rock solid and super smooth and I love having physical keys, Its just that 'm bored using the same phone for so long now.

No green/blue/whatever tints noticed on either the SGS2 or the Note.
I guess these days everyone seems to have quality control problems with screen manufacture... just saw a friend do a side-by-side white colour comparison with two iPhone 4S' and one was more blue than the other.

My new note also has this tint. Personally it doesn't bother me, cause it only visible when you tilt white background. The pics below are from some review site, who also saw this. Anyone else?

Mine has a slight green tint, and sometimes there are infinitesimal color shifts that I notice while I'm reading ebooks on a solid color background. It's not pronounced enough to justify my replacing it though.

How do you guys check the green tint when in the store? what settings or apps do i have to go to to check the green tint?

When I bought my galaxy note, I had the opportunity to compare side-by-side a polish vs hk unit in person to choose the one I wanted. I set both units to max brightness and then chose the one with less green hue. It was noticeable when I looked for it, and I was glad I asked him to let me look at both to choose one.
In the Samsung store, the note is clearly much better in terms of color temp under the fluorescent lighting of the store, than the GS2 was. The GS2 has a very obvious tint that was visible even without placing the note side-by-side next to it.
That's not to say the Galaxy Note is perfect. Its native white point is still pretty high it seems. At max brightness, my Note's white point is still noticeably "cooler" than my two calibrated monitors in the same indoor lighting environment. Dim down the display and it becomes even more "blue".

Thanks for your input. So when you saw both units, there was definite green tint on both? Do you guys consider this a normal trait for the kind of screen technology we have?

When looking at just 1 phone, it's not noticeable, when compared together, one of the notes had more green than the other, but not on a "deal breaking" level.
Yes, it's normal with this tech, Mobile versions of AMOLED tech never claims to be accurate, it only really sells its super wide color gamut and deep blacks.
If you want color "accuracy", then then iphone4s is technically more accurate. If you want an android phone, then a more accurate comparable res'd screen is the one on the LG Optimus LTE with AH-IPS 1280x720 on 4.3". Some display certification company claims that it's better than Super AMOLED Plus.
Accurate-to-life doesn't lead to being perceptually appealing though, hence why people are immediately drawn to the deep blacks and eye-popping saturation and brightness of Super AMOLED. Trust me when I say the note's screen will put a smile on your face!

No green tint when you look at it straight or when viewing angles? mine also shows excellent white when your looking at it straight. But when trying to view angles, the greenish tint slowly appears.

Hands on 10/5 @ Best Buy w/ pics

Had the opportunity to play with the device today at Best Buy. First impression is picking this device up feels amazing in the hand. The build quality is superb. It feels very premium and solid. I haven't felt any device like this since the iphone 4S. Its also nice because the device isn't freakishly thin and actually feels comfortable in your hand.
The screen is the next thing you'll notice immediately. No other smartphone even comes close to this baby. Color accuracy is spot on and OMG is it bright! Text is so sharp and clear it just bounces off the screen. I actually think it was a little too bright, but that's better than not being bright enough these days.
Touchwiz seemed, for the most part, pretty zippy, definitely faster than the S5's UI. Of course Best Buy and Samsung's demo mode constantly running helped bog things down a bit, but it wasn't really that noticeable. I saw some lag with the Samsung keyboard, but again, nothing major. The new multitasking thing was pretty cool, and seemed pretty fluid, but there is always room for improvement here.
Seeing both colors in person, I probably prefer white. I am still a little undecided, but the white just stood out more, I don't know.
Enjoy the pics...

If it actually looked like it does in the pictures then I'd get the black but instead, the black looks grey in real life.

Yeah I noticed this too. I wish it was really black. Oh well.

White looks SO good.
Btw. I am not sure did you paid attention but when you touch back cover of the white how it feels compared to the blac? Is it the same exact soft plastic or different?

I'm not sure if the other guy actually has held both in his hands, but they don't feel the same. It's just like the Note 3....the white is more slippery and the black has more grip and is more tacky. I've held both and there is no doubt they are different.

I went to my local best buy just now and the back of the white is slippery and felt more plastic. Similar to the white note 3. There was a black note edge next to it and the back of it was grippy like my note 3. I could only assume the black note 4 is the same as the black edge.

I saw the note edge today and really liked the look. If it was mass produced I might of jumped on that one rather than the regular note.

Maybe they did it on purpose so that dirt wont easily stick on the back of the white note 4

Screen Defect in direct sunlight?

I picked up a T Mobile Note 5 today and noticed strange mark all the way up and down the right side of the display. It is only visible under direct sunlight or very strong lighting and most noticeable with white or light backgrounds. It looks like some sort of air gap or liquid between the glass and the display. I actually exchanged the phone and the new one had the same issue. Has anyone else noticed this?

I'm having the same issue. I posted my issue on Android Central and someone stated that this is a common issue with the S6 and Note 5.
I'm going to call Samsung support right now because T-Mobile stated "that's how it was designed" and that answer just doesn't work for me. Even if they are right.

Well I checked my phone in direct sunlight and I don't see the mark you're talking about. But I do notice that my screen / glass isn't clear... With the screen off and in the sun, looking at my screen at certain angles I can see horizontal marks on my whole screen. Does anyone else notice these marks?

I know exactly what you're talking about. Mine has the same thing. I was wondering if it might be the glass screen protector, but I wasn't about to remove it to find out. It doesn't really bother me, so I won't attempt to get it replaced unless it gets more pronounced.

I do not think I see the issue on my Verizon Note 5, however one thing I will say is this screen is amazingly bright, I can even use the camera outside in direct light and be able to see it perfectly.

I think you'd probably know if you did. It's really obvious on mine, but only in direct sunlight. In all other lighting conditions, it's completely undetectable. I'm going to try to get a picture.

I have it as well, and find it extremely annoying. This is also the 3rd unit I have had due to the bullsh#t pink hue on the other two. This one is being returned to the service center when I feel like making the drive, and I'm not leaving without a perfect display.

I have this issue as well not really that major It's only there in sunlight
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

Anyone found that this problem has been solved with a RMA or is thus just part of the way the phone's are?

I have the same issue with my Note 5 I bought it recently and works perfectly.
The display quality is amazing in any light condition, also the content is very clealry seen in the sunlight, but on the right side of the screen under direct sunlight, especially when then brightness is at 100% an I use a white backgroud some spots are visible from the top of the screen to the bottom.
Are these some sort of Burn-ins?
As tech service noted itnis a common problem with S6 and Note 5, also it does mot affect content visibility, however when Samsung manufactures such premium phone they should avoid such manufacturing errors.

Go in a dark room, pick a black background and notice all those marks. Amoled has been like this since day 1.

I see, this is chronic problem of Note 5.
Solution is: Do brightness as %99, 95, 70, 50 etc. in direct sunlight. Don't do it %100.
Check my problem too (similiar problem) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/display-problem-note-5-t3206480

Had this issue on my first note 5. sent it out for repair and waited for 5 days and found out that the replacement note5 has pinkish hue at the bottom of the screen. can wait another 5 days with out the note 5. going to drive to the nearest samsung service center with is 45 mins tomorrow. let me see if i can get it right this time.

Slightly on topic my N5 has issues under low lighting as per pics. Going to send it back as it's rather annoying in the spot it's in. On low brightness the smear like line is visible when you take it off low brightness the screen is fine. Weird.

Here is my review of the official OnePlus 3 Tempered Glass Screen Protector (3/3T) direct from OnePlus AND after about six weeks of usage. This screen protector has some huge pro's and some huge con's and I find I can't seem to say something positive without turning around and saying something negative. So I'll just jump right in and say it is the strongest screen protector I have ever used out of over 15 devices I've owned. BUT this strength means that it the phone is heavier by 12 grams, thicker by .6mm and can interfere with some phone cases due to its edge to edge size. I had to buy another phone case because my thin one kept pushing against the screen protector and injecting air bubbles. ARGH!
When applying the screen protector the black/white border, depending upon the color of protector you purchased, pretty much hides any air bubbles you might normally get with other screen protectors. BUT the black/white border also cuts off the right and left-hand side of the screen to where your text gets cut off (see image below for an example). Due to the thickness the fingerprint scanner is also recessed making scanning your fingerprint odd and a little less accurate. I found that I actually get more fingerprint scan errors.
The oleophobic coating makes sliding your finger across the screen a delight. Even my Pixel XL wielding friend had to agree that it was nice. The edge to edge protector visually is the best looking protector I have used which is another plus. Listed below is a quick summary of my Pro's and Con's.
The screen protector is great in these areas:
Fingerprint and smudge resistant
Finger glides VERY smoothly
Covers most everything edge to edge
Cut outs for front camera, speaker and fingerprint scanner
Very strong
The screen protector is not so great in these areas:
Cuts off the left-hand and right-hand side of the screen
Heavy in that it adds 12 grams to the 158 grams of the phone
Thick in that it adds .6mm to the 7.35mm of the phone
Isn't compatible with some phone cases (too wide, I had to buy a different case)
The thickness makes it strange on the finger print scanner area
Costly compared to most screen protectors
In summary I am removing my screen protector after six weeks of usage. I do wish I could get my money back but in the end it protected my phone well during that time. But every time I read an article where the first letter of every line was hidden I was reminded how much this thing frustrated me. When I realized my phone case was larger than I wanted, because I had to find an alternative case, I was reminded once again of how much this thing frustrated me. When I try to unlock my phone via the fingerprint scanner but get a read error due to the added depth of the screen protector, I am reminded, well you get the idea.
I'm sure others will, or do, love the OP3 screen protector from OP but it's just not for me.

Pretty much my same experience. Only bought it because I thought they had fixed their problems when they put it back on their site. LOL, no. They did not. I'm only keeping it on because I don't want to spend money on another screen protector.

The only time I notice the edges is on select websites. It usually isn't an issue
My big issue is that I ordered 2 and they only sent 1. They don't want to fix the issue. I've been back and forth going on 3 weeks now. I requested they check shipping weight, since it departed from their facility. They keep saying the same stuff over and over, telling me they aren't going to open an investigation. I've let them know I'd be sharing my experience. I like the products I receive, but I can't support a company that steals from its customers, and this one stole $20 from me.

I can appreciate that it isn't so noticeable on most websites. For me the image I had attached of the cut off screen is from an app that I use daily so I see the flaw every day. Also now that I have taken the screen protector off the phone the display is noticeably wider. I feel I have a wider phone even though it's probably just a few mm different.

This is a very important feedback as I was planning to buy the same under the impression that it should be perfect as made & sold by OnePlus directly. Now I will think twice before ordering one. thanks for the review.

Hum... of course it's a question of taste. I've the transparent Orzly but I dont use it. The phone is fat and the rubber contact it's not sexy I think.

Of course it is a personal choice. I'm using Spigen black case since I bought OP3. May not be the best out there but I kinda like it. Now I'm looking for a transparent case that won't turn yellowish or change colour in time.

Hmm, can you link one site that you can not see those letters you wrote?
I really dont see any problem, on any site or app I use, only in recovery, but that is very rare, and I dont mind that.
I would like you send me the link because I want to see are there maybe some v2 I have that is better than yours, I'm really happy with mine, its perfect.

This is not a website but rather an app called "ip cam viewer". But that is just one aspect of the items that I dislike about the screen protector. There's the weight, the width/height of it, the thickness and the cost. There are positives too but I believe I listed my perspective on the pro's and con's.
Honestly, everything that you view on your screen is being cut off with this protector. It's just how much of the readable space is being lost. I tell you now that I have the cover off my screen is wider. It's like a have a new phone.

What about clear version? Smoke black probably won't turn yellow because of its color. The base part is made with a fiber-like material in both clear & smoke black types and therefore it will also won't turn yellowish.

Camera protector

So I bought display glass protectors that included protectors for the camera aswell.
Before applying the screen protector I noticed the factory installed screen protector. It was just barely visible and I had to google if this was a protector and that I do not break anything by removing it
So back to the camera protector. I can't really tell if there is a camera protector installed already. I couldn't find anything regarding this.
Does anybody know? I don't wanna break anything by trying to remove something that isn't there.
Thanks in advance

No, buddy, there's no camera protector. Apply it soon. I can't purchase it locally due to crappy market and already dinted. It's so tiny but i know its there. Drives me nuts.

There is indeed a factory installed cam protector just like the Note 10+
Just use a case with a raised guard around it and it will do fine.
After over 1 year there's zero damage to my 10+'s.
You may need to remove the back panel if you need to replace it but so what?
The add on cam protector isn't needed but a good case is for these Notes. They are corner hit happy and one unprotected drop is all it takes.

I too bought a 4 pack of screen protectors that came with 3 camera protectors as well figured why not right? WRONG once installed they make the flash useless as the flash hits the glass and glares out the photo horribly. No matter how perfect you get the cutout for the flash this issues still happens. I had mine on perfectly even used a lighted magnifying inspection glass to verify when I was installing it.

Same issue here. It causes too much glare when using flash

guys, really put something protective on there! loads of people reported that their camera glass broke without any big impact, including me. Samsung only offers a lenghty repair service instead of admitting their mistake. it's annoying and makes my telezoom lense almost unausable in certain light situations.

Samsung only offers a lenghty repair service instead of admitting their mistake. it's annoying and makes my telezoom lense almost unausable in certain light situations.

Get a good case with a raised cam assembly guard. Jeeeesze.

I had one on the day I got the phone. Didn't make a difference. Camera cracked in two places, people on Samsung Members are complaining about the same thing. Not one drop, not one time set on the table roughly. Broken just 3 days after it arrived.

That's not a good case! Finding a good one tough. You absolutely need a raised guard for the cam and screen.
I use the Zizo Bolt on my 10+, while I don't intentionally test it, it's survive around half a dozen drops onto concrete from 2-3 feet with zero damage.

Nillkin makes a case for the S20FE which has a sliding panel to protect the lens.

I've purchased this on Ali express on HM lucky store.it was not easy to find with the cut out model so you won't get any blurred pictures.

+1, why you would want to use a £500 phone with no case?

This looks quite cool, but looks bulky -

However I like the idea of adding this even with a case, Do you have a direct link to the product page..?

You still have to open and a drop while you take pictures with that case won't prevent you could drop it on a small rock with that big size glass. That's why I still prefer a protector strait on the camera. Tomorrow I have to pick up from post office and post picture afterwards with a case.

Ah so I see its just tempered glass with a film to outline the camera lens and flash, clever.

Received today. It's a aluminum Matt Finnish protector. The black is a spigen case and it's still inside the cover.

Nice, doesn't look half bad
