Are your opinions solidifying in the mobile space?

I'd argue that it's because of the wallpaper.

SAMOLED tends to over-saturate (this is different from having higher color gamut, by the way) contents on the screen in my experience, and it makes blue more blown out than necessary.

I agree that it does hurt my eyes, but you can easily change the wallpaper to something else.

And unless you look at blue stuffs on your phone all day long, I don't think it should be a concern.

The screen still displays a white page with some hints of yellow, in case you wanna know what I meant when I said the display was "warm".

It's just "blue" that is overly... "blue" on those SAMOLED displays IMO.

The wallpaper? It looks like an overlay of blue.

The wallpaper. Touchwiz has a transparent layer in the app launcher that would show whatever you set as the wallpaper underneath... be it live or not.

what runaway said

also it has to do with how the pics are taken - the wrong white balance setting will make things look very blue, or green or whatever

Sorry, but the Galaxy S III is not the same device across all carriers. The AT&T and Verizon versions are very clearly different from the international version both with the hardware inside and the way the software is laid out. About the only thing similar to them is the name and the outer casing. Otherwise, you have very different beasts in this discussion.

Honestly, I don't really care about the international versions. I just don't. And an overwhelming majority of US based cell phone buyers don't either. From a hardware standpoint, outside of some cellular tech yes, the US based phones are essentially the same to your average consumer. As far as sofware goes they are all ICS + Touchwiz. Only difference is some carrier based bloatware.

Call me closed minded to only think about the US market, but it's still a 300+ million strong market. I don't care how Samsung markets to other countries, I simply know (or care) about how they market things here. And from that standpoint, the SGS3 phones available to the major US carriers look like the same phone and and can share a unified marketing campaign with no phone being more special than another. The only thing that can be contested is the speed/coverage of the carriers, and that's a carrier problem. Not Samsungs.
