Weedo-nl, 04 Aug 2022Still using it :)I'm just checking my old Satio to downgrade a bit. The touch screen seem gone - is this repairable?
I can't seem to get the case open either -was it the key release slider and a heave on the lens cover?

Never had this one. I had a W995 still, and was still loving it. In fact, my w995 lasted for 5 years until it's screen sliding ribbon gave up.
Satio was a top dog for me back then, but I couldn't ignore that it didn't have stereo speakers like w995.
Sure w995 didn't have 3 speakers like the beast w550 (man if it was a LOUD phone that one), but it was loud enough.
Louder than satio.
Back then loudness was an important factor for me. Camera not so much. Oh and storage too. I used to put a lot of music in these things, still do.
Satio came out in 12 years ago. Feeling old yet?

Alpha, 25 Jul 2021I guess you need to have your eyes and brain checked...imoNo you need them checked. And maybe a drug test if you're seeing differences that aren't there.

ae86, 25 Jul 2021You may be viewing this article in a low res display... I use a GN34CB. 3440x1440, 3000:1 contrast, and the colors seem better than on my K40's AMOLED display.

It tri... moreSamsung phones tend to use colder white balance and accentuate blues and greens during the day, while sticking to more accurate, warmer tone in low light. What you're seeing is a simple shift in white balance which is not even remotely close to 'filling" of colours into parts of the image where they are not supposed to exist.

It tries super hard to kill any burnspot by tone maping the area into oblivion but if It still detects white areas that are burnouts it changes the temperature on purpose. Light sources like highlights against even white areas such as walls turn into yellow while high frequency/wrinkled objects such as white shirt turn blue.

Human eye vision has almost no "burnspots" with missing colours because our eyes can capture much wider dynamic range than any cameras do in a single shot. No phones "fill" in any colours using HDR, if highlights of an image show some sort of colours then they must have been present in the real life scenes as well. We're not talking about some random photoshop skills here, I feel like you're completely misunderstanding how HDR works and what computational imaging does in general.

Had this phone. Loved it for the music and camera. Was a beast. But yeah, that OS was horrible and that proprietary cable was silly. Had the X10 also. Sony Ericsson was the business!

The newer Pixels have dual exposure sliders too so if you want to lift shadows without clipping light sources, no problem 😉
