[Nexus 4 General] cowgaR:
not going to comment on the rest of your 'credible' review but the screen was the main reason I gave my N4 away...

I had a chance to play with Nexus 4 and compare the screen with long use of my HTC One S (qhd pentile AMOLED - greatly balanced colors as even written in Anandtech lab tests), my Galaxy Note 2, friends GSIII, my brother's HTC One X+ and my iPhone 5 (development test rig).

in summary - Nexus 4 screen is average at best, with bland badly calibrated colors (and weak color gamut) and average viewing angles (for IPS) and average brightness.

- compared to Note2, haha, that's not a comparison. That's the best screen on the market for me - bar none. Colors too vivid? Funky? Calibration not done to 100%? I don't really care - the screen is like a printed paper from magazine. Lively top notch bringing enjoyment to even reading sad bbc news...

- compared to my (not overly-saturated as mentioned above) HTC One S screen - one feels the colors on Nexus4 screen have somewhat dissapeared (even the google maps light yellow background is more blandish white), the liveliness of media playback and contrast while playing concerts is gone, the viewing angles are worse and the black is simply more grey getting much. It also gets much worse on lower brightness - I'm lucky not to have 'pink' AMOLED version on low brightness - and at night my screen simply killed N4. Shred to pieces.

N4 does have higher brightness (not much) & the text is miles ahead more readable and crisp - no competition here, HTC One S lost. Which isn't a big issue on HTC One S at least for me - but a good gain for folks out there. The only things which really bugs me about (excellent) HTC One S Amoled screen is the pentile is making small white color fonts on black background a pain (dpreview.com) to read what isn't any issue with N4. Isn't any issue with black fonts on white background either on this AMOLED either. I knew in a instant I wouldn't trade my One S (running CM10) for N4 no matter what.

- but it comes to compare with GSIII for one to realize that looking to Nexus 4 screen is like looking through a dust cloud. One might argue the GSIII screen is overly saturated and it really is too punchy (more visible at night) - but I for example like my music played the way I set my equalizer and enjoy deeper bass even though I have audiophile Westone3 I rarely play rock music on neutral. Likewise other people also might like the red color to bleed and green to bring peace to the world via screen - all which are promise which AMOLED on GSIII delivers and is fun - text sharpness is the same (at least for me GSIII is a big improvement from my One S). One feels really sad looking on N4 screen in comparison - it simply brings the mood from opposite spectrum and media playback is dull. That said, I wouldn't pick any of those - either overly saturated or the 'color-missing' Nexus 4.

- now to HOX+. Readers might think I'm a color addicted (photographer as well ;) and I agree most of my mobiles had AMOLED, but my 2nd laptop (Vaio Z) and my monitor (Dell 2709w) proves that colors can be equally well punchy even with LCD technology. Which brings the biggest disappointment - compared to my brother's HTC One X+ the LCD on N4 is simply much weaker. In colors, brightness, viewing angles - simply felt like the cheapest LG could fit inside (I regret I didn't pick serial number ) and even though HTC One X screen is not the best - one wish it would at least be the same quality and I wouldn't miss AMOLED a bit.

- all of which brings us to the best screen I am using on mobiles - which is iPhone5 one. Retina attacking brightness, great contrast, very vibrant colors with wide gamut (the colors are punchy but not overly saturated) to which N4 screen really looks inferior. The one got feeling it is looking via the cloud of dust on the colors/screen again - but this time the competition was the same IPS tech from LG. One has to wonder - Apple has some really good quality controls which Anandtech even confirmed (greatly calibrated screen).

All in all - maybe there are various screens on Nexus4 (various models) as is common with laptops. Nexus 4 screen is simply sub-par as far as color reproduction goes. Feels like TN+ film 6bit technology of old days, not 10bit IPS one.
