I got intrigued by the unit's 5" display touted to be IPS * 1280x720. So in-open ko agad ang gallery to browse sample pics. I am quite a bit underwhelmed so far. There's none of that love at first sight just like with my Samsung Wave before. I know it's not AMOLED, but was hoping for something better sana than what I saw with e.g. CM's own Flare. Medyo parang there's a milky appearance and pictures don't really pop out of the screen. The unit comes pre-installed with a screen protector, so I am not sure if it could be the culprit. Aside from that, medyo parang me bluish-violet tint kaya skin tones don't really appear quite appealing. Not sure also if there's a way you can alter the balance of the RGB matrix like with some Samsung units. I was testing at half-brightness coz syempre that's where most people would set it to save on the battery drain. All in all though, sa display lang talaga ako nadismaya ng konti.
Again, those are my first impressions and from a very short hands-on experience with the phone.
