Who else has a bad feeling on how only the right side grill is a speaker and the left one just an adornment, like the super budget OPX? .-.

Glad they added Nightshift this should be a standard option for all phones as well as on Windows.

I use Flux on my PC as well as a app on my phone that does the same effect.
It massively reduces eye straining and gives me far better sleep.

Or maybe Apple is stuck with a pile of old iPhone displays, which might explain the same size as the older iPhone. Apple is known to make over the top mass order of everything to get insanely good prices, even affected other manufactures from getting their hand on the product.

I don't think so. It's more likely that they are going with the 4" display just because that's what they have used before. iOS is really shit when it comes to handling resolutions (lack of dynamic scaling, and everything gets programmed at specific coordinates) so they are pretty much forced to use the 4" display, use some dirty hacks (like they do on the plus models) or break compatibility (like on the iPhone 5 with the black bars).

Sadly, they are "unreal" in the "this is not an accurate display" sense.

Apple cutting corners is probably the last thing I expect. They're pretty much the only manufacturer who actually doesn't cut corners in any of their products and I'm not talking about the visible ones which they intentionally cut to move the industry forward. 

Yeah, no cost cutting corners... Except the 16GB models, the 1.2MP front facing camera, lack of 3D touch, lack of OIS in the camera and lack of the barometer. Not sure if I missed something but that's what I could see on the store page. When reviews comes out we will see if they also cut corners on things like display calibration, NVMe controller and other less-obvious things. They are cutting quite a few corners with the SE. How much they are cutting and how significant those things is up for debate, but the fact that they are cutting some corners is not. They most certainly are.

3D Touch = Gone, Front Camera 5Mp = Gone (Are they really trying to take us back in time or theyr just like "The phones front camera has a higher resolution than the display itself, FFS!", OIS = Not even close, Previous Gen Fingerprint Sensor = ? Any source confirmed that already? 

 

Theyr website only states:

Fingerprint sensor built into the Home button = Iphone SE

Fingerprint sensor built into the Home button = Iphone 6S/6S Plus.

Really? I say it has better blacks then the iPhone and prove it then you ignore/do not acknowledge that, but half quote me and say that the display is not accurate? I didn't even say they were accurate, I just basically said the colors pop on the screen and look unreal. Like it is eye candy to look at.

I've heard some people talk about it but yeah, it seems like nobody has any solid evidence. I'll remove that part for now.

This has always been the case with iPhone speakers as far as I know. At least beginning with the 5, I don't know about the previous models.

Oh thank gods aha. There were loads of strange claims before Apple updated theyr global websites, some even claimed it had 3D Touch and others said it would have a 128Gb version. What im really interested with as of now is its battery life, hopefully acceptable, its display i just checked and its contrast is 800:1 while the 6S is 1400:1 .... so are blacks gonna be white on the SE xd? Gosh. And the ram amount has to be 2Gb, i mean come on, its 2016 for christ sakes. Everything about the phone is great, even tough it does cost 599€ here for the 64Gb version... might aswell buy it on ebay aha, for 539 or 550€. The Front camera resolution is acceptable, since the phones display itself isnt something insane i guess, and its not like were shooting movies with the front camera...

I was joking with you. The setup was too tempting for me to ignore.

The LG G4's display got good black levels but other than that (and brightness) it is fairly mediocre (for a flagship phone). I like the display too, but personally I would gladly trade the oversaturated colors for more accuracy. Different strokes for different folks.

Surface won't last. It's not great at being a laptop nor its great at being a tablet.

The Surface is WONDERFUL at being a laptop replacement. Also as being a tablet, with Windows 10. However, you don't even need tablet mode because Windows 10 works wonderfully on the Surface.

Can say the same thing with the LG G3.

Colors are great and accurate , but the display is not quite bright enough.

Isnt the G5 capable of outputting over 800 nits of brightness and up to 900 nits? I heard that somewhere, not sure if it was on Android Authority or Pocketnow, but i found that quite "unbelieavable".

Oh, I was like seriously why would you do that. Haha. I personally like over saturated colors (like Samsung phones and LG's) (not for monitors but for phones). Mainly because my homepage/theme is that flat marshmallow type theme with the flat icons and the bright backgrounds. So with the over saturated colors it makes it look amazing. Also when viewing pictures taken during bright sunlight of bright objects the colors really pop.

Lmao indeed. Imagine tough if its actual real and your kinda sleepy at night and accidently trigger the phone display to max brightness. Temporary blindness or extreme eye strain/headache guaranteed lmao! We need a smartphone with a nightdisplay "safety switch" XD.

Hahaha, I have an S3 I use like an iPod sorta device (since it has micro sd card support) and it supports up to like 330nits of brightness or something along those lines. I turned it on at night when it was on max brightness and I was like, "damn't". I can't imagine 900nits of brightness at night. It would be like turning on an led flashlight.

The S7 has a highest peak brightness of ~850 nits, so it's not surprising.

Next in the LG module line: LG Nightglasses, "We protect your eyesight at night, and you ensure our financial progress". Let the battle of the brightest begin. Next time you know, the actual laser focus of smartphones, will cause permanent blindness if looked at for 5 seconds O--o

Who the hell is this 4 inch phone for ? Kindergarten kids ? Pretty sure when people say they want smaller phones they mean 4,5 or 4,7 at most.

people with linus size hands. in fact even this is too big they need to make a 0.5 inch phone for it to barely fit in linus's hand
