    Hi guys,
    anyone got Nexus S from CPW? Is it the Super Amoled version or Super Clear LCD. SP LCD is heavier 140g vs 129 of SA. Thanks a lot.

    The nexus s doesn't come with SLCD, they are all amoled. Possible copy paste error there I reckon.

    As above. They do come with SLCD screens. It depends on the market.

    As far as im aware theres a shortage of them so Samsung started putting SLCD's on them to speed up production. Tbh i wouldnt go for one without amoled as it is the main selling point of Samsung phones

    How can you tell for definite which you have?

    I have a Nexus S (bought from CPW) - Is there a way to tell ?

    Serial number , reference or something.

    The manual in the box is titled Samsung GT-I9020.

    I'm more than happy with the phone and the screen regardless , but would be interested to know.

    Thanks

    Yours should be the Super Amoled one. Super Clear LCD is I9023.
    Easiest way to recognize SA screen is, black is really deep black. You cant really see when the end of the screen is/ black plastic starts. See the first picture. On the SC LCD black is kinda like washed out. On the other hand white is nicer on SC LCD.
    SA version weights 129g vs 140g of SC LCD.

    Well, i think there is a difference, quite easy to see. And there is 11g weight difference.

    There's quiet a big difference when you put LCD vs amoled side by side. Otherwise you would barely notice. In amoled screen the place where black is the screen doesn't produce any colour. Its like it would be off and it only displays the colours you need. In slcd the backlight is always on and the black colours always have a hint of gray or white.

    But as I said. You need to put them side by side to see the difference. I didn't see it either till I put my hd7 beside Omnia 7.

    Also it should say on the box weather its amoled or slcd. I've only read the slcd's on nexus s were only in Russia. Not sure did they release more into the EU market

    There is a difference, but SLCD is still pretty damn good. Its daylight visibility should also be better.

    All this fuss about 11g is pretty funny though.

    The weight, realistically lads. is that going to make a blind bit of difference to ya? i prefer if the phone had a bit MORE weight to it. I like that "big pebble" feel of the iPhone 4, it adds a feel of quality to it.

    Whats the general feeling on which screen is better though?

    ps. i didnt say there wasnt a difference, im saying its very slight if any in those particular pics.

    As I said the blacks are actualy black and in slcd they are more like washed out black cause of the backlight.

    Generally I found the slcd to be more clear than the amoled screen. But as before you won't really notice it unless you have the two beside each other or if your not fuzzy. The weight wouldn't be a big deal. Its not like its kg :)its a couple of extra g

    Be the jeebus!, I stand corrected. Bit of a crime to stick a SLCD into this, at least they have a distinct model number for the other version.

    Agree. A few websites made a survey on Samsung phones. They first considered the screen. The chassis design and final was the OS. So yeah its a big crime. Samsungs amoled plant isn't finished yet either so expect more slcd's if your getting a Samsung phone.

    Got it yesterday from CPW. It's the Super Amoled version. Very happy so far.
