How is reading small texts on this phone - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hi everyone, im going to be coming from an iphone 4, while i know this screen is no retina display, does the larger size of the screen negate this, or would the small text appear fuzzy and would need to be zoomed in.

Text looks fine with no zoom

We don't get them down here until Friday. Fingers crossed we don't have any issues and that date holds up. I'm super excited and can't wait to make the switch from iOS to Android.

everything is nice and sharp thanks to its NON-pentile subpixel layout

Pink Housing?

Yes, pink.
I found this yesterday:
http://www.cellphonepartszone.com/Productss.asp?shopxpbe_id=64&id=685
No pricing, and it looks like an HTC branded product? BT is British Telecom, I think. Has anyone seen this housing before? I'd love to get one (it's PINK!)
This site also had a green housing as well.
Anyone? TIA!

If a guy is secure enough in his masculinity to carry a pink phone, more power to him. Most guys I know are not that secure and are too worried what other guys will think
I am really surprised that considering how popular the Excalibur is there isn't more options for housings. There are some funky cases, but, eh.
Love this site, btw. Lots of great info and hacks on here. Maybe I'll get brave enough to install 6.1 at some point

Good job i'm secure in my masculinity and have no issues regarding the common thought of pink and a guy
Yes my Dash is pink and i'm proud, Gix you really have to stop flirting with me JK
"My sense of humour is whack but i don't care"​
hehehe... nice case
Man, pink's totally an awesome color. And I'm a guy, but for me having a pink Dash would be cool as well as being unique. I hate it when 232808 other people have the same phone as me. Oh well, at least I know mine is way better than all their's due to this site xD
And by the way, where is the price?! I clicked buy now, but I half to fill like half a page of personal information.. -_-"
The green one looks cool. I think this is a manufacturer looking for a bulk buyer. to resell these puppies. I wrote Them an email to see if they would sell me one or two sample housing to check out the quality of the housing to if I wanted to make a bigger purchase. I'll let you know if I get an answer.

Anyone with yellow tint at bottom of display?

Does anyone have yellow tint at the bottom of there display? Its not pink tint but off white. Very annoying. Not sure what to do.
Yup have it as well..now on my 2nd 10. Tianma panel. Having youtube on repeat during the past days on full brightness to see if the screen will get any better (dry out the glue). Can always try... right?
Otherwise it's going back for replacement...
Can you share the pic ..
mine has it too, I have my second 10 on the way and it should be here tomorrow. Really hoping that is fixed, so annoying. I'd keep it if the whites where consistent...

It will be here tomorrow, I ordered it really late on the 11th it immediately went to pending fulfillment and shipped Thursday night (12th) but with the weekend it will be here Tuesday. Not too bad but no they didn't upgrade shipment.
My uncles had this in his One V, it never went away even 3 years later.
Better to ask for a replacement, pink tint ''glue'' is different
Okay lol keep me posted buddy! I already had a return request for my phone as I was disappointed by the camera somewhat. Ill wait too see how your new one is and make a decision lol I dont wanna play find the good panel game lol

Bought it from Thailand. It is officially available in many countries in South East Asia. Here it is sold together with MPen.
The only model available here is 128/6 GB. Google assistant works well.
I still havent play much with it so I could not really tell all pros and cons. One thing I notice right away was that the display is grainy, though higher ppi than iPhone Xr but its noticeably grainy I would say. Coming from LG G7, I do hate Huawei Emui launcher.

Yes it is. Earlier I talked to many people about this and many say its ok. I just tried to say that it looks worse in comparison to iPhone Xr but its your eyes to decide if its ok or not. People coming from WQHD might notice this more I guess.

It is a more feminine lilac in my opinion. Even the fingerprint reader is a very light purple. I sold my Chinese silver and bought the international model which only comes in midnight blue from Splendor for $868 USD.

The S10+ has arrived

The S10+ was just delivered to me. I got the 128GB S10+ in Prism Green - the G975F/DS (dual-sim) version from eBay(never-msrp). it seems to be a Latin American version (as the initial startup screen was in Spanish).
Unfortunately, I have to run for an extended meeting so will not get a chance to play with it till the evening. Let me know if you have any questions that I can answer.
I want that green! Looks good! Wish the US would have had it
huh? that quick?
It looks kinda blue (not green) to me. Congrats on your new toy
Notification light?

This times a million. Notification LED ring around camera. If you can - try and install lightflow, see if it picks it up.
I just want to know if you can get google camera installed on it and if night sight works.
If this is the exynos version need your opinion about speed and lag and stutters etc.. specially compared to something like iphones and one plus devices

Demo units are stripped down to bare minimum to save money. Since they are just for a 'tease' they don't have to be fully functional to every detail.

According to pre-release sheets they made some other builds. I got confused too, I wanted 8GB/128 S10 at first, but it looked like only the 512 S10 has it and I even preordered that. Then they corrected that, saying all S10/10+ have 8gb so I cancelled S10 and reordered S10+. That change cost me 2 weeks delay,my orig spot in waiting line was 3/8 now it's 3/22.
That's where the demo units must have been projected:

FX is not a demo unit. It’s just ‘X’. The demo unit is SM-G975X. At least it is here in Europe anyway as the single sim version.
