I've now had about 6 of the white gs3 from t-mobile. I have had 1 16gb (it didn't have bleed). The other 5 (32gb) has had this bleed from the buttons in some way. It's worse in person than in pictures, but you can get an idea.
I've also had one where you could see the insides of the phone from an improper seal where the screen meets the bottom by the lights (screen meeting white trim).

Am I the only person to notice this? I'm pretty picky, but this (especially the right one) is totally unacceptable. Video or a dark background at night makes it stick out like a sore thumb.
The one on the bottom, you're being a little picky. The one on the side is legitimate...but why not just turn off the LEDs and save yourself some hassle?

I agree, if I was paying for a $700 device I would want it perfect. I get mine (White 32gb) Friday and will report my findings. I have a strong feeling i'm gonna go back to blue.
How have you had so many GS3's? I'm not shocked though because this was discussed to no end when the phone was first released. I'm sure they could have prevented this by using a dark film underneath the screen with a masked cut out for the menu and back keys. But what do I know about manufacturing. Maybe they see this as a bonus feature?

I never saw it discussed. I'll have a blue tomorrow and see if that has it like the white's do. If not, I'll stay with the blue. I'd rather have a purple button than light bleeding.

You're not going to have that problem with the blue one, If I'm right I think most white phones has the same problem, I know my friends white skyrocket has it.
Yikes... That's a nasty light bleed
I noticed this on my white GS2 as well but I got the blue for my GS3. My wife has the white but it doesn't look that bad to me.
I think this is a tough problem to conquer for everyone. Remember how long the white IP4 was delayed?

Yea i think all the white ones will ultimately have it to some degree. The skyrocket also has it and so does the sgh-t989 (white model) the dark colored phones such as black and blue kind of hide this.....i have a white one and mine bleed but im not returning it because of that that is just a little to anal. Now if the screen was bleeding then thats a different story. Il tell u what though id love to make them brighter somehow! My T989 keys were super bright

I don't find it about being anal though. I can't stand distractions like these. Playing a game or watching a movie and there's the bleed! Knowing that something is wrong with a $700 device drives me crazy.

So far this phone is awesome, I just have a question for people who got their device.
1. Line on light screens are normal for amoleds right?
2. Does anyones unlock button feel soft or have less feedback then lets say the volume buttons?
3. The right side of the screen seems lighter in color, lets say you go into messaging and pull up the keyboard and look at the top row and look left to right do you see any difference in color?

1. It's a common problem on AMOLED screens and some are worse than others. If yours is bad enough to bother you you should go back to exchange for a new one.
2. Yeah the volume buttons are more clicky than the power/unlock button.
3. I notice it too but when I turn the device sideways I also seem to get a gradient left to right. I think it's either like that by design or an optical illusion.

you dont see it on a gray screen? Its not as extreme as that photo shows but I can see it.

When the screen sucks on the galaxy nexus, that's normal, but screenbleed on g2x is lack of quality. Listen to yourselves, already exchanging devices, sounds like nothing will be up to your "standards" at least the g2x forum is rid of you.

I have a brighter area through my screen. as you can see lighter or darker parts of the screen seem normal on organic LEDs. They are all not exactly the same tolerance so will appear patch and different under low voltage (low brightness levels), After a weeks research on here and other sites, I decided not to return mine for fear of getting a worse exchange. I can live with it as its only very mild. BTW the bottom of my screen is defo brighter than the top.
Hope you don't get a worse one. Let us know.
Yea, you are right. im just paranoid.
Nah, I hear you. I was the same. I spent 590euro on a phone so you want it perfect. I'd return it if I had dead pixels for sure, but the lighter and darker thick lines or areas on low brightness seem to be across loads of GNs and a trait of AMOLED.
After a week, I've stopped scrutinizing and am now just starting to enjoy use the phone
My order just came in and here are some pics. Sent by Samsung Vibrant.
For all the other people that have received one, does anyone notice that their menu lights have an illuminating affect around it? It doesn't look as clean as the black ones because it just doesn't glow in on the menu icons but all around it.
Yes i notice that on my friends white sgs2..light leakage perhaps?? Or the fact that its white led simply reflecting off the white colored casing of the phone?

No lines or blobs on mine. The white looks real good and gets a lot of attention. The back has a real nice gloss to it as well.
Looks awesome! Shame that they had to place the Samsung on the bottom, always looks so cramped for you T-Mobile Users.

I can make out the lines on the screenshot of the phone keypad. Really hard to notice since the sticker is in the way and the brightness isn't low enough, but it's there.
Just got mine today I notice the screen isn't as crisp as it should be I owned the Droid charge and everything just popped on this it looks kinda wash like the motorola displays nothing like the charge. It is the same display isn't it? When the screen is off I can clearly see a foggy residue under the screen.

Trying to get mine through Tmobile retentions but apparently they are out of stock of the black and white with no estimate on new ones coming in... Sad.
Wish I had waited. I am guessing that the material of the device is not solid enough to stop the light from shinning through. I don't think its a problem, but if it is you can contact Customer Care and they might have some idea on whats going on. Dude, you have a White SGSII which almost everyone here is pissed about not having. Be happy!
Which color did you buy: Marble white or pebble blue?
Curious to see how our poll results will differ from the international poll (where blue is leading by ~11%)
never been a fan of white myself and have always chosen black. I don't have one yet (waiting for stock) but that blue looks damn fine in my opinion. I bet the white looks awesome as well but I like the darker color.

Same here - really wanted black, but went with white because I didn't much like the fake brushed-metal pattern on the blue and its purplish home button. Nothing a case can't mostly hide, though.

The back of the white looks better.
The front is a toss up... they both look lovely... until one of the capacitive or notification LEDs lights up on the white phone.
The white version has light leak around the leds... makes it look cheap.
I would recommend blue + aftermarket back
I want the blue and voted for it but I saw a white and black case on a white model and it looked pretty darn good. I think it was a case-mate case. If they have a white one available, then I'll decide then. Either way, a case is going on it, so really, what does it matter?
Peebble blue with Samsung blue Flip case looks very professional. Im loving it.

Ordered and received Blue (read: butt ugly purple) and hated it... It's a blue'ish purple, the back cover is a different color and the button is a different color... This thing has 3 different shades of blue / purple on it... Really Samsung??
Posted an ad on Craigslist in LA for a trade and actually found someone! Woohoo.. Now I have white and am pleased..
If the blue was all one color it might look better but the 3 different shades makes it one of the ugliest looking things I have ever seen... Hope they fix it and devices manufactured later won't suffer from it..

First off... They should have offered Black. Which is what I would have wanted. I chose white because the blue didn't appeal to me at all.. I like the non-visible buttons, doesn't show scratches or fingerprints as easily, and i've always had an easy time reselling white phones.. Either way I love the phone, and look forward to modding the hell out of it. Already had several Apple sheep admit their jealousy..

The more I use my phone in different light, the more I realize I have a purple phone. The back is the most blue part, but the sides and front are straight up purple in most light, especially natural light. I have also noticed that, in certain light, the front of the phone is the same exact color as the home button. It still looks very nice and, imo, much better than white. I would have chosen black if it was available. Imagine this thing in black chrome instead of purple chrome. Drool.

My apologies, I linked to an image but apprently new users can't do that quite yet heh. Well, I suppose the next best thing is to discuss this.
Is it possible to get it back/front mix of both colors for the forum image.
Now that I think about it, wit this red one coming out now...this could get a lot more difficult then first imagined. I suppose its just going to have to be one or the other. Not that I don't like the white ones, its just I think the blue is a lot more...distinct?

I like the white, I really do. It's clean looking, it's damn sexy.
I just...I don't know... I see some light bleed with the capacitive buttons. Though that's not much of a turn-off for me, it just doesn't give that "defined" look I guess. I really like the brushed look on the blue. I wish they could of done something with the white, maybe a silver brush? I hear people that usually get the white one aren't a fan of this brushed look though.
Still to this day one of the sexiest plastic finishes for laptops had to be the HP's for a while. They weren't much for scratch resistance, but some of the designs and textures were awesome!
Has anyone gotten to play with the red one yet? Thing looks amazing.

The white version is prettier. Although I do agree, we could have a picture of the red one since that's an AT&T exclusive.
I think white look better than any other color
Let's change it to a neutral color that the S3 doesn't come in! Maybe something like pink?
if you go to settings->display->touch key light duration you can set the capacitive buttons to be always off. since they flank the physical home button on either side, you can't really mess up hitting them as long as you memorize right side is back and left is menu. i think it makes the phone look super sleek and clean if they never light up. i do have the pebble blue version tho and my capacitive buttons are essentially invisible when not lit up.
probably adds a little battery life too...

Yeah still trying to decide. I still have a few days that I can return my white SIII for the Red one.

i got mine on Friday. I was hoping it would be more 'red'. It's more of a 'wine' color. I was hoping for more of a fire engine red, closer to how the pictures looked online.
Not going to lie, I'm really digging the red model. It's more of a burgundy or brownish. Sorta the same kind of "red/brown" I've been seeing in cars lately.
I would consider swapping out my Blue phone for this but it seems too big of a hassle for just a color change (no specs actually change). Actually I would be interested in just getting a red backcover and switching it out on my blue
it's really beautiful. Personally, I like phones being different colors. Why have them black? We aren't ashamed of them?
let's celebrate !
Looks Nice
Nice looking but not for me i like the pebble blue much better !
I would love this if the capacitive buttons didn't light up red. It's really ugly. The phone itself is beautiful.

YUP i took it back sunday morning and swapped out. $35 restocking fee but i got 611 to give me $100 credit to my acct before i traded it in so its all good. the Red one comes with the OTA Update right out the box. but it love it.

You could turn off the light by going to Settings> Touch key light duration and select Always off.

I also ended up exchanging my Marble White SIII for the red one.

I haveeen debating trading my Pebble Blue in for a red, but I figure I always have a case on it, and red lights for the touch lights really isn't worththe $35 restocking fee for me.

I actually wish I waited for the red one. I had a red/burgandy Samsung Blackjack 2 and loved the color and it was pretty good for texting. Pictures online made it look too red, but now that I see photo's in natural light, it looks great.
Nice color....im really digging it....i have the blue...
