[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
Yes, but I will be the first to tell you, and I have no qualms saying that the Note 5 has the overall better display. With that being said, the 6P isn't worse to the point of being a deal breaker. It holds up against it fairly well. At least the screen on my particular 6P. I will try to take some pic comparisons soon.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TobiS87:
I also have a slight pink hue on the upper right corner of my screen. The weird thing is that it seems to change somehow. Sometimes I can barely notice it and the screen looks near perfect and sometimes it looks like a mess. I don't really know if that has something to do with my vision or if the hue really changes depending on some circumstances (heat/brightness/idk) I've made some comparison shots with a Nexus 5X:

To this point I don't think that I will RMA this device because its only a very minor hue in my opinion. I am not very experienced with AMOLED Screens because I've only used LCDs so far so I don't really know if that's a common problem with AMOLEDs. I still have the hope that the slight red hue goes away after a few more days of use.

The production date if my device is the 13th of November btw.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuff:
By anecdotal evidence, I believe this pink tint resolves itself over time.

My Nexus 6P that I received on Oct 27th or so had a pink tint. Eventually I stopped noticing it. Eventually forgetting about it entirely.

I RMA'd that phone because of a speaker issue that was not of my own doing, and Google shipped me a replacement.

The replacement (which I received Dec 1st), side by side, with the one I sent back had a pink tint. But my original one seemed completely free of any pink tint.

I believe it fades away and eventually goes unnoticed. I don't know what the cause of it is, though.

Sorry to bump my own post but can someone please tell me if this is normal viewing angle. Because if it is I for my life cant understand how reviewers can call this a fantastic screen.

Yeah I would expect great viewing angles from a modern screen on a top phone. People keep telling me this tech is the future of tv's, but you wouldn't accept a tv with viewing angles this bad. Colors should not change when you tilt your phone or look from a slightly different angle.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpeg42:
Totally agree. Some of the posts here for sure have issues and need an RMA. But I think for most people, if they weren't comparing phones side-by-side or the slight pinkish wasn't pointed out to them, they would never notice.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jockson:
It can and it is! AMOLED is VERY overrated, mostly by people who don't really know much about image quality. LCD is a more mature tech, and at this moment a lot better than AMOLED IMO. The only thing the latter has going for it is deep blacks in low light conditions, nothing else.

Either way, I would say it is extremely unlikely this will get "fixed" unfortunately. Samsung AMOLED phones have this problem as well and most people don't notice color uniformity issues.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sungoesdown:
While this might work for some people that are searching for problems they haven't yet discovered on their own, I only found this thread

after

I was getting frustrated by the non-uniform screen hue. I sought it out to confirm/validate if this was a real issue. If Messenger and web browsing didn't use white UIs, then I'd never complain. Unfortunately, those are some primary methods in which I use the phone.

---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

The exact color shift based on viewing angle is present in my 6P as well. For comparison's sake, I'm coming from the HTC One M8 LCD, which I thought was a great 1080p display, that had very little color shift when looking at +/- 40 degree angles. Even though I was surprised by some of the color shift, my limited research suggested this was a symptom of AMOLED screens. Moreover, the color shift is more than acceptable to me because I rarely use the phone when I'm not directly looking at it and there's no loss of clarity or sharpness in spite of the color shift.

If it bugs you, then I might suggest you have an issue with AMOLED displays not necessarily the 6P specifically.

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

I'm certainly not an expert, nor am I defending AMOLEDs ,or disagreeing that LCDs are far more mature; however, this article from DisplayMate seems to suggest that AMOLEDs are very comparable, if not better than LCDs in a number of different areas. (Be warned, it's a very difficult read.)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
The current Samsung flagships may have some tints but the certainly don't have the muddyness of the 6P. In general they're crisper and clearer.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
Don't do it bro, you will probably regret it. I've owned the Note 5 since it was released and since I've been on the 6P I can't even get myself to want to use it anymore.

I thought it was a very snappy phone. And while it is, once I got on the 6P I felt what I was missing. The 6P is so much more fluid. When I used my 6P for a week and jumped back on my Note 5 to make my final decision, it was almost a joke. All the stutter and frame drops in certain parts of the phone made me cringe. I couldn't believe I was dealing with that.

Not to mention the ram management issue that Samsung refuses to fix. Maybe on marshmallow it will be fixed but I'm over waiting on it. It felt like walking through mud when using my Note 5 compared to my 6P. And that's saying something since the Note 5 is very powerful.

And my 6P screen is close enough to my Note 5 that's it's not even close to a deal breaker to me.

I still need to take some side by side pics to show you all. You will definitely notice the Note 5 screen is overall better, but I am happy with my 6P screen.

Hang in there if you can.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
It's very intesting. Out of my 4 devices 2 of them have had the yellow screen and 2 had the pink. The pink LCD has much more vivid colors and overall look better but the speakers are more unbalanced. I swear these are two different panels that they are putting in these phones. There is no way these are the same screens. The one today is 96% perfect as far as screen and whites with only a little on pink (I only notice it on pages that have red or orange on the top bar and it will probably go away but if it doesn't I don't mind, it is no where near the first pink phone I had). I'm perfectly happy with it. The speakers can be balanced with a few tweaks but they don't really bother me. I'm happy with this device. I hope it doesn't get worse and I hope you all can find one.

EDIT: I also see the power and volume buttons are different from the yellow model and pink. Yellow has buttons that stick out farther than the pink. Not a huge deal but I wonder if they were made at different locations

^^^ This just reinforces to me quality control is non existent with Huawei. :(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Ive noticed a pink/reddish hue on the phone that Ive already returned though its visibility depended on the ambient light around me. I would also have preferred if they went with the best LCD panel in the market for the screen instead of AMOLED, its been said that the N6P has the same screen as the Note 5 and Ive seen a lot of store demo units and none of them have any pink tints even in low brightness.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Lazer:
I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with this one, unfortunately. I went from a Note 5 to the 6P. I was super excited at first and stopped using my Note 5. I was having little issues running certain games and apps such as lag that wasn't there on the Note 5, just didn't feel as smooth as they did on my note 5, but I just convinced myself it was no big deal. Aside from that though, I was having camera issues and screen issues. 2 RMA's later and the phone's felt like they were getting worse. I started using the Note 5 again after all the issues, and I realized it just wasn't worth it, as the Note 5 had everything I needed and more (S Pen features, I know that's not everyone's cup of tea). I spoke to Google and asked if I could just send the phone back for a full refund and they had no problem with it. I will of course miss certain things about it. The fingerprint scanner location was really neat, and the 6P connected to bluetooth in my car much faster, but for $600, I couldn't justify it, especially when I already had a premium Note 5. I'm happy with my choice. Trust me though, I REALLY wanted to love the 6P. I was in love with the Nexus 5 and was ready to make the jump.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
I will agree to disagree which is totally fine bro. However, it seems like defects kinda forced your opinion? My 6P has been perfect so far and it definitely outperforms my Note 5 in general usage. Maybe gaming isn't quite as good but I don't game much on my phone.

But that's the beauty of Android... We have plenty of choices!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anikadam:
not an advice, just a way of thinking maybe for people who are worried that their expensive device might be faulty but really isnt.. this is a really good phone !

even ive noticed a pinkish and bluish hue on changing the angle of the screen... fortunately it doesnt bother me while referring to any books or browsing.

This is a real problem for many ppl and looking at the photos im glad i didnt end up getting the really bad pink screens. hope huawei and google sort out this soon. cause for a Rs. 43000 or 645$ phone you need to have a 100% quality control.

No worries. Other more respectable sites such as Android Authority also posted a similar story. I guess lots of people might get fired. Or they are just reporting what they received which probably wasn't detailed info.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjschafe:
After receiving my 5th bad device, I called google and talked with a nexus representative. He could not have been nicer, or more appreciative of my patience going through so many phones. He talked with supervisors and said that my next device will be a good one. Not sure what their steps to ensure that are, but if it gets me a good display I'll be happy. They are also taking special steps to ensure I don't wind up with 4 or 5 phones worth of holds put on my credit card for a week or two. Will report back when the time comes.

I will say, google customer service has been spot on every time I have talked (or chatted) with them.

So I've just turned on my 4th replacement 6p and the screen is definitely not pink and the colours are a bit cooler as a result.

Adaptive brightness is off and brightness dial is halfway. There is still a noticeable difference in brightness between the left side and the right side of the screen.

New one on the left

Old one on the right
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjschafe:
The first person I talked to was simply an order rep. I started asking her questions regarding the problem, what they're doing internally, if it would be smart to wait a month or two, etc. She said she was only an order rep and would transfer me to Nexus tech support (I think that's what it was called). He was by no means "up the line," but was more than willing to talk with his superiors to make sure I taken care of. Maybe I just lucked out.

Did you RMA for a full-screen pink hue or a partial screen pink hue?

Is the screen uniform at least?

Despite the color temperature does the display look great?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markwebb:
When I RMA I just tell them screen has a pink hue, if they need a pic I can send one and that I am unhappy as a buyer (nicely) and it seems to be a quality control issue, elevate the ongoing issue and no one denies or challenges me. I usually don't go into that much other than invoking the warranty or return policy clause.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkouk:
The left side of the screen is a shade darker. There is no pink hue. My previous phone had pink hue and shaded areas which gradually went away...or my eyes got used to them.

In RMAd my previous phone for pink hue across the whole screen and a buzzing top speaker during phone calls.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raijin:
Thinking, I concluded that, to clear up the confusion about if the panel is from Note 5, S6, Note 4, the best thing we can do is to put the Nexus 6P under the microscope. And if we can take pics, it would be great.

Has someone a microscope?

Unfortunately I've had to RMA my PERFECT screened 6p due to crinkling in the metal right by the volume rocker.

Interestingly, I prefer the one on the right. Maybe I would change my mind if i compared them in person.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkouk:
Did you view the image on your 6p or on a normal laptop IPS type of screen? On an IPS screen with good colour reproduction the one on the left looks much better, as it does in reality.

It is actually going back for refund. The left side of the screen is quite darker than the right side of the screen! It is shockingly bad on dark grey colours and I can even notice it on the quick settings drawer. I will try take a photo when I'm home later today.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sungoesdown:
I just received my first RMA this afternoon. In spite of my trepidation, the display appears to be fantastic! I've put it through a battery of subjective tests (web browsing, a white screen video on YouTube, and a 4K YouTube video, among others), and it's quite clear the top third of the display on my initial device had an issue. I'll post some pictures later tonight, mainly to validate that I wasn't going insane. The difference between an ok screen and a perfect screen is not trivial

I'm quite pleased with the results. The new phone has an early November build; whereas my initial phone was late October. Now I'm crossing my fingers that I don't run into some other issue with the new phone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draje0:
A great way to check is to install a kernel which allows for changing of RGB values. Setting R and G to 200 each should help make the unevenness obvious.

I've been through 7 devices so far, all having an uneven pink tint somewhere on the screen. All October models.

Sigh. This phone is basically perfect apart from this BS issue.

Why is this so common on this device? I guess it's a risk when buying a phone with AMOLED but it's not as comprehensive on for example Samsungs devices.

Betyurbut it's as comprehensive on Samsung devices! :) I know from experience with both the S6 and Note 5 the Amoled screen is not always perfect, and often even not good at all (green, pink hue on parts of screen). Many many people complaining in the several XDA threads of these devices.

I have returned my S6 a total of 6 times before I got a pretty decent one.

Not saying it's a Samsung issue, but it definitely is an Amoled issue (characteristic?)
