My GF has a GS3 and jeez I find it absolutely ugly that the LEDs bleed through the white case. It might be the case for the S4, but here's to hoping Samsung fixed this?

It really cheapens the phone a lot, and next to my Nexus 4 and Nexus 10, it looks even cheaper.

Anyway, I'm considering an S4 white version, but I'd like to know how the LEDs look.

Yes it does bleed out. As well as the buttons. I don't find it that disturbing however.

I see it does somewhat here also but the reviewer noted the notification LED seems to bleed less. I definitely agree. The notification LED in general is smaller than the S3 even in the dark phones, so it's a plus. Compared to my gf's phone, the video looks awesome.

it looks like that in the video becuase its purple color but the red and green and bule does bleed...i have the black s4 and my girlfreind have the white and if this is really annoying you you should buy the black one (if you are Considering buying the s4 :) )

This is odd as on my white note 2 the LED does not bleed. I have the black S4 now tho... looks cooler to me.
