Hi, i have heard that this phone has two versions. One with a 262k inner screen and the other with a 65k inner screen. Is there anyway of telling which version i have?

Any serial numbers or code to differentiate?

i am kinda confused too...

i have sharp gx20 and i read a lot of gx22- bullshiiiiiiiiiiii........
I dont know how some peopel beleave the company sharp will released 2 different kind of screen only!!!!!!!!in the same body phone.
dont trust this HK operator they can stamp any numbers of pixels on the box and because gx20 has a nice , new technology screen they think the othera are stupit.
For me sounds let say like that-sony t610 of vodaphone released the same like the others but with camera resolution 350K.Are you gonna beleave that?????

Some of the operators around the world print own boxes and stamp whatever they want-remember that.

How many modification panasonic gd88 has???-gd-87 gu87 and so on.......but the phone is the same - right???there is no difference between them,So?????????

Just check www.sharp-mobile.com and you will see there is no such as phone gx22 it's very simple-you gonna trust HK operator or the real company known as SHARP.

just think about that.........

yea! looks good, too bad sharp didnt clarify the gx-20 on that site

Boris you are way wrong dude! Why the hell are you posting a sharp website that is in europe? They are endorsing the sharp gx20. You need to look at sharp hong kong to see that the phone is actually 262 ks of color. Smartone is the only company in the world that has released a 262 k color phone. There are more than one sharp locations in the world you know. Plus they can all manufacture the LCD screens anyway they like as long as the person or company is willing to pay for it...and in this case smartone has. And to all you people out there being all confused and cR*p. Yes their is a difference between the two phones.... one is 262 k and the other is 65 k and this might be due to software enhancements in the phone. Gosh... how many times do we gotta see this dumb questions over and over again?

GX22= 262k colors maybe due to software enhancements or possibly could be a 262k color screen as long as smartone paid for it

Gx20/21 = 65k colors maybe because other phone companies don't wanna pay an extra the extra cash for upgrades...who
knows but thats how it is! They prolly couldn't tell the difference between the 262k and 65k color phones so they went for the less cost efficient one.

Let's drop this already and move on..........some of you folks annoy me!

i've got gx22, and access to a gx20... we should snap some pictures of them all together... i've noticed the gx20 is a little brighter.

what it is, it's the same screen colour as gx20, but when you view images and jpg only, it will have 262k support, not really useful

Posted by: borislavvs

ok lets do that.
the ones how has gx20 only.

open the picture with the phone.
at the same time take a look at any samsung with 65k tft, and you will see big time difference .Why??? - gx20 sould be the same quality but it's not WHY?????
Because the screen is more than 65k it's very simple.
You know what? I will ask sharp -japan and will tell you the true.

The better quality of the image on the GX-20 is not because of more colors, but because the GX-20 has a QVGA screen that uses CG technology to eliminate the pixelated appearance that you get on most other phones. So the picture is smoother, but not necessarily with more colors.

Whether the difference in number of colors between the GX-22 and GX-20 make any sort of noticeable discrepancy in images, I'm not sure. But the GX-22 DOES have 262k colors, and the GX-20 does not. I'd definitely suggest getting your facts straight before getting all loud and condescending about this whole deal.

YOu go and ask them! Once you find out that we are right and you are wrong...come back here and post it! You're being loud for nothing! Are you mad at having a 65k color phone when there is a 262k version out there? Do you really wanna justify that they are the same when they aren't......go ahead then if it makes you happy. It does not matter to me! I think your comparison stinks!

Do you even know that a samsung 65k tft color phone is not the same as a samsung 65k stn color phone even though they have the same amount of colors? Maybe you don't. I dunno but you are annoying!

i know very well the difference between STN ant TFT and for your information there is TFD screen.

Well I will not make a big thinks, and to make the story short i will buy one gx22 ( i have gx20 at the moment) and will post you the final results.

I SURE no one of you have both of them at this time, so do not say any final decisions about 262K and 65K.

I dont like a words such as - i read, i think, i heard and ext.

wow, TFD, great stuff.... lol

ah...how SURE are you?.... i have both gx22 and gx20
and yes the gx22 has 260k and gx20 has 65k, all documents for both phones say so.. and can you tell a difference.... well i've said before that the gx20 seems brighter, but the gx22 produces more shades of a colour.. just looking at a solid blue background and i can tell shades of blue on the gx22, while it's a solid blue on the gx20... but when i show my friends pictures on the phone they can't tell the difference...

and of course there is a difference between a 65kstn (tft, or tfd) samsung screen, they are much lower resolution...

can you guys not read properly? the gx22 only has a 65k colour screen

about the gx22 from sharp-mobile.com: Ultra high-resolution QVGA 240x320 dot, 65K-colour system CGS LCD. For J-peg images, more than 262K colours can be simulated by dithering algorithm

and the gx20:Ultra high-resolution QVGA 240x320 dot, 65K-colour system CGS LCD

Geez, what's up with people acting like jerks on these forums? Sheesh.

As for the 262k colors or not, it can be argued either way. Dithered colors are technically not new colors themselves, but when you're looking at a pic that small on a tiny CGS screen, the human eye can't tell the difference between microscopic combinations of pixels to create the illusion of a new color and having each pixel actually be that new color. So as it stands, the GX-22 can at least simulate more colors than the GX-20 can.

*sigh*

you still didnt read the important part though did you?

let me put this another way, the tech spec says For J-peg images, more than 262K... and unless the phone is automatically converting and showing everything as a .jpg then this 262,000 colours arent being used, yes looking at a single image or having a "slightly" better colour background may be nice for the owners of a gx22.

BUT, what about apps and games? these arent using jpegs [well i suppose they could but most dont/wont and should look exactly the same on both phones.

i, apologise if this post and my previous one sounding rude, its been a loooong day and currently at 3am i'm a little cranky

Posted by: Savant

Perhaps you should go to bed then. 3 AM's a bit late.

Anyway, yeah, the difference is slight, considering the dithered colors only show up on .jpegs. (I read that part, btw.

) But people who say that the GX-22 doesn't have 262k colors need to qualify their statement, because it is capable of at least creating the illusion of more colors than the GX-20 in certain situations. Is that good reason for screaming that the GX-22 0wNz the GX-20? I certainly don't think so, but it's not really fair to say that the GX-20 display is exactly, 100% the same as the GX-22 either.

Well, strictly speaking, the hardware IS exactly the same, "Ultra high-resolution QVGA 240x320 dot, 65K-colour system CGS LCD." but the software is different. So say I flash a 20/21 with a 22 firmware then it'll become 22 in every aspect, just like t68 -> t68i.

Posted by: Meercat

good point that, maybe we can change the colours on incoming calls too rather just be stuck with flasy green

Ok.....Although the screen as everyone says is a minor difference but the GX22 has a different menu....not like the ugly Vodafone red and white menu...
