I did some side by side shots of my 3G vs. 3GS and uploaded to flickr. What do you guys make of this?

The 3G is on the left and the 3GS is on the right. Overall, the 3G may actually be a bit "warmer"but i think the 3GS just lacks contrast so it makes it look like that.

I feel the 3G has better colors, a better viewing angle (note the low-angle pic and the strange glow) and is much brighter overall. It's interesting to note the complete differences in color on the lock screen (blacks) and dialer....

I don't know which one is correct :confused:


I didn't read your entire message and could swear the one on the left is the 3GS.

Looks like you have a washed out screen on your 3GS

EDIT:...or not

All 10 3GS I have exibhit the yellow tint.

All 10 units I have here at work from diff batches have the slightly yellow tint that is more pronounced towards the bottom. Had I not read the forums or compared to an older 3G i prob would not have noticed. Doesn't bother me that much and I have OCD.
