It's not an AMOLED screen.
The Note 2 isn't pentile.
I read somewhere that (surprisingly) the Note 2 is a Super LCD, not a SAMOLED

Looks damn good
I'm not going it lie. That photo makes me miss Windows Phone.
Aye. I've really come around to the new home screen too.

What phone is that?

Lumia 820.
Supposed to be the 820 but awfully low amount of RAM for it... I've a feeling that this isn't the 820 but a different handset again
Calling it now, that one is the Lumia 720.

I'm disappointed by the Nokia phones so far. I'll reserve full judgment until after the official unveils, but even on the 920, the bottom bezel is too big, all capacitive buttons, and no sd card slot indication. Dammit, I may have to buy another Samsung.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I also really dislike the huge bottom bezel on the 920. Really kills the look of the phone for me personally. If they could fix that it would be great looking IMO.

It's going to be the One X with a Windows and camera button.
I'd be OK with that.

Yeah, the leaks have created a lot of confusion. Reserving full judgment till the 5th.
You're right, I dunno what I read lol. Though how do you know it isn't pentile? It doesn't say Plus
That's hot.

A photo shows all RGB subpixels. However, it's not arranged as ordinary RGB stripe.
This link from The Verge shows each pixel has a RGB subpixel, unlike the pentile arrangement.

Is it sad that I'm genuinely interested in sub-pixel arrangements?
I would rather avoid pentile, so I can't blame you.
I had my theme set to green because it looked the clearest on the Focus pentile display.
HGNHHHH.

No, because pentile is shit, even with 720p.
Okay, maybe not shit, but you can see the difference. I know I can. But I'm weird. Ignore me.

Really?
What is it with your hard-on for the One X?
Look at it. It's the same body they've been using for years, but with white
HGNHNNN?

I like the white one x too, brot is straight up wrong on this one.

I'm not wrong, you guys are just weird.
For years everyone complained about HTC's design and how boring their phones are. Then they took the exact same design everyone complained about, wrapped it in polycarbonate and suddenly they got good designers.
And people told me I was weird.

Smartphone design rests in the details, since all phones are basically rectangular bricks with a screen taking 95% of the real estate.
And the detailwork HTC did with the One X did wonders, cause while I see the phone is indeed very similar to the other one Brotkasten posted, the One X is a beautiful phone (unlike the other one).
The Lumia 800 and the One X are the two phones that immediately caught my eye as "beautiful" when they were announced.

Agreed on all counts.

I know that it's about the details and I applaud HTC for not screwing the back of the phone up.
But if you're good, then there is something you can do with a rectangular brick with a screen taking 95% of the real estate.
Hm. I think it's clear that I prefer rectangles with harder edges.

The Xperia's have a nice design (and the newly announced ones look even better), but the design of the S, U and P were all ruined in real life because of the clear glass strip with the plastic removable bottom under it.
I'll never understand the decision behind that. It makes a perfectly elegant design look cheap and clunky. Could've done so much better.

Shrug. I thought it made them look pretty distinct from other phones and was a nice touch. Only one of them actually had a functional purpose for it (notification light) though.The Xperia's have a nice design (and the newly announced ones look even better), but the design of the S, U and P were all ruined in real life because of the clear glass strip with the plastic removable bottom under it.

Sony needs to stop sticking both their logo and the XPERIA logo on the front though, pick one or the other and move the second logo to the back.

Wow. The two of us should never talk about design again. Ever. Your opinion is the exact opposite of mine. Next thing you gonna tell me is that you hated the gutter in Windows Phone 7 and 7.5. Also, the new Xperia's are awful, uninspired and boring.
Exactly. It wasn't a boring black or white brick with a screen on it.

I'm glad it's gone.
I miss it already =(

"Fuck yeah" is what I think about this. No more shitty and annoying ports on the side that don't allow me to place a proper dock on my desk.
hell yea... should have been done from day one but glad they are at least getting to it now...
