[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
Lol as I mentioned above.. A screen shot cannot capture a HW display issue.. It's like posting a screen shot of backlight bleeding.. It's pointless as a screen shot doesn't not capture the way the HW works.. It captures an image of what is displayed on the display and it's all done programmatically.. It doesn't reflect how the display HW looks

Lucifer it's,, are u sayings it's good just a yellow tint or 1+1 is better?? Reason I'm. Asking is I can get a 6p now just don't want to be disappointed in the screen quality and color..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtherrell:
It is software fixable. Here's an example of calibration in software from N6.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luciferiusXI:
Idk man. To me seems poor screen hardware quality because you get both yellow tint and pink hue. So how the heck can you fix that with software? Are you going to fix the pink hue or the yellow tint? Even if we are optimistic and say can fix it with software modification, why waste money and wait months until you can fix something that was supposed to be top notch?? I have seen up to 5 different phones with same issue. Some nexus fanboys say that is normal for amoled. That is so false! Oneplus One yellow tint had yellow tint at the bottom because the whites had been calibrated to have blue tint whitish color you know. The only way to fix that was to make the whites more yellowish so that the yellow tint at the bottom wouldn't be so visible. At the end conclusion is, poor screens give you yellow whites. Oneplus one screen was not top notch, that's why oneplus had to make those compromises. The 6p screen reminds me of the nexus 6 screen. Poor efficiency and poor whites. The whites get replaced by pink hue and yellow tints here.

This is really the thing holding me from Grabbing A 64gb alum, that and really wanting frost.... I was waiting for reviews and all reviews were giddy like an Iphone fanboy.. Then we get the real testers, the regular guy, and then the real problems or whatever you want to call it start trickling out... When I bought the 1+1 it was all about the yellow at the bottom.. Mine must be a good batch as mine never had it but I love the cool white... I hate the warm whites... Even on a tv setting... I know a kernel can be adjusted to cool or warm the color but being a 500+ phone I feel this shouldn't need to be the case..... Now I'm curious to see a side by side with a 1+1..

And even hearing about button rattles, camera focus sounds ect I'm a little hesitant... Plus I love flashing roms and with most phones now being locked like a chastity belt or having no dev support I'm at a loss on how I'll decide.... Only thing that's good is this is the infant stages so maybe a second or 3rd batch will get sorted out... I had a galaxy nexus and if I remember correctly it was a slight yellow.... Gonna see if I can find it and take a pic for comparison.... If I find it I'll post a pic

Mine is really yellow and dark compared to my HTC one m7, i mean, my HTC is so much brighter and whiter is just a joke...

If i move the phone around in my hand it goes from yellow/pink/blue, there is no stability in colour, surely this isn't normal? if it is its completely ****.

Also, when taking a picture looking through viewfinder on my camera my nexus flickers whilst m7 is completely still, is this difference in tech?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
So how prevalent is this? I'm RMA'ing mine for uniformity issues (N6 side by side with 6P) and if I'm just likely to get another one that's not even, then I may just return it. It boggles my mind that Samsung hasn't figured this out yet. I guess most people can't see it or don't notice, but I definitely do.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alferboy:
How can you say that? Didn't you hear the N6P launch event?

"We worked really hard to get the colour right on this one!"

Gald they did that! Or else you'd get a green redish screen :P
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolcat67:
I just got my Nexus 6P delivered and one of the first things I noticed was a greenish tint when I tilted the phone a bit and looked at it from an angle. After comparing it side by side to my N5, it definitely also has a yellow tint. I am honestly pretty disappointed after seeing nothing but rave reviews on the internet on the 6P. Is it possible this will go away on its own? Or will I need to RMA it?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wazka2:
Just be happy it's not pink ;)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
If the greenish tint is uniform, you're just seeing the difference in calibration between the AMOLED display in the 6P and the N5's LCD panel. You can flash a custom kernel (once available) to adjust the colors/gamma/etc and that will definitely mitigate it quite a bit.

If, however, your screen is half greenish / half pinkish, that (IMHO of course) is a defect, though I'm starting to wonder if it's not the norm or at least very prevalent.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolcat67:
The yellow tint is uniform, which I guess I should be able to calibrate away when the tools become available. I use a custom color profile with ElementalX's kernel on my N5 for more saturated colors. What concerns me more than that is the blue-greenish tint when viewing the device at an angle. And I'm not talking about an extreme angle. I notice it tilting the device maybe 10-15 degrees either way...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
The viewing angle can vary as to how extreme an angle you have to view to see the color shifting, but as far as I know that's normal.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolcat67:
Yeah my N6P has a defective screen. Explained my issue to Google Store rep and they are going to send me a replacement.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hltbest:
When you say defective... Was it yellow tint or something else?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
I'm curious as well, because uniform yellow tint sounds to me like it was just not calibrated very well, and should be fixable with a custom kernel or a display overlay app.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hltbest:
If its not calibrated well does it mean I can swap it and another one may be calibrated better? I'm worried about forcing myself to use a custom kernel in case it ruins my chances of android pay.

I'm using a screen overlay at the moment, and while its improved the screen colour I can't use certain apps without disabling it... Which is quite annoying!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
I'm honestly not sure. I"m sure there is some variance in how yellow the tinting is from device to device, but just how much variance is hard to say.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolcat67:
Well now I am thinking I'm a little crazy. Checked out some other AMOLED phones today and they do the same thing as far as tinting green when you tilt the display. Google authorized an exchange but I think I'm gonna keep it since they're all probably going to do the same thing. Guess I'll have to get used to it..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crazy Homeless Guy:
Why are we talking about the color when the phone is viewed at a glancing angle... Do you use your phone at glancing angles?

The screens have layers of various film on them for different reasons, of course the colors are going to look funny at glancing angles.

This picture helps to show color temperature of white. The proper standard with which nearly everything digital is designed around is a white point of 6500k. That is the bottom middle picture.

The 7500-10000k are actually more blue than they are pure white.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tixos:
With the many other small flaws this phone has the screen is my main gripe, it sucks as far as i'm concerned. My almost 3 year old m7 is much brighter and whites and really nice and white.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hltbest:
I had the m7 as well so have to agree with this. However I think it is partly to do with AMOLED vs LCD and partly poor calibration on the 6p!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lur3nj14:
I can only tell on the whites that it seems to be calibrated to a lower temperature/warmer. It's more noticeable when the brightness is adjusted low.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dewedMountain:
My screen is very good, I don't really notice the yellow tint but I do have the slight blue tint when viewed at an angle. Compared to IPS in the Nexus 5, I think IPS is just much better at color reproduction and viewing angles than AMOLED. But AMOLED is really bright and vivid and pops. Just a different experience.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fidelio_o:
So everyone here is comparing their LCD screens to an AMOLED display and *****ing about the whites not being as white on the AMOLED lol, Thats normal. LCD better white, AMOLED better blacks....

Exactly. I'm going to play with wife's note 4 to see if screen bothers me. Curious if really is note 4 panel. With minimal use, haven't noticed anything off and haven't had her complain. I think some people think there is a perfect display, but they are always going to lean one way or another.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keith777:
I'm not sure what to think at this point. I have the Note 5 and the 6p right now and the whites on the Note 5 are way more white and the screen goes a lot brighter. I thought this wouldn't be an issue since the 6p is using a samsung amoled display. Not sure if it makes it worth returning but it's a bit disappointing.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnafides:
My screen has a heavy pink tint looking straight on which goes away when tilting even 15 degrees. And no, this is NOT an AMOLED issue as it really looks bad when compared side by side to a Note 3. I am most likely going to RMA it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poser:
I have the s6 edge, and, yes the 6p cal is wayyyy warmer.

That said, its an mdnie profile, that we will eventually have full control over (I assume).

Unfortunately, QA on panels that Sammy sells out of house is a much lower standard than what goes in their flagships. Fortunately, I have no bleed. But definitely runs warm on color spectrum.

Edit: just compared my edge v 6p, attached photo: Brightness jacked up, 6p has the BRIGHTER display. Makes me feel better...this is a color cal issue. Though, I am sure there are defective displays in the mix.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hltbest:
Mine looks very much like what yours is in the photo. So I'm pretty sure it is a calibration issue then. Glad its not a hardware defect.. Apart from this I'm really enjoying my phone!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuff:
You guys are forgetting that taking a picture and then making that comparison is roughly IMPOSSIBLE to do. We all have different monitors, with different color balance and temperature. And on top of that, we have different eyes.

What may look good on my monitor, could very well look off on yours. The only way to make this comparison is by reading is through a color calibration tool with actual data reading.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poser:
Agree 100%

But, I am giving you anecdotal evidence, from my own two eyes....do with it what you will:

- Runs warmer color temp

- brighter than my s6 edge

- no bleed

- even across panel
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnafides:
I'm going to compare against two other 6Ps in person tomorrow so I'll be able to tell if there is variance, or if all of them are this pink.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuff:
That's fine. But nobody else's eyes are the same as your eyes.

I just don't enjoy these threads. There are too many variables. The only real way to judge the screen would be to calibrate it with a tool.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] just4747:
After first complaining about the much warmer overall screen comparing to my last phone, a G3, and wanting to possibly exchange it to see if I get a "better" one, I've come to accept that the warmer temp is *probably* not a defect/problem and it really just is a property of (at least this) AMOLED screen. I think mine at least is fairly normal and once I got used to it and came to see the whites as not too yellow/warm compared to when I first was looking at the screen, I decided I don't need to exchange it. I think I am a happy camper now and have no real complaints.

Would I like a slightly cooler screen that doesn't exaggerate the color warmth as much (especially compared to certain other phones like an iPhone 6)? Yes, but it's not a deal breaker knowing how AMOLED is (sometimes).
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
Comparing my screen to my LCD HAM2, whites are a little grey, blacks are much better and overall color is great. I have no weird pink or yellow hues.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
Well if it's a single picture, I agree completely that you're not necessarily seeing what the OP of the pics is. However, it's useful to see them side-by-side as the relative colors should be consistent from eye to eye.

Luckily, my RMA device has a nearly perfectly uniform screen, thankfully. I'm sending back the original tomorrow, but I'll post a pick of my N6, the old 6P with partially pink screen and the new one for a 3-way comparison later tonight.

No yellow screen but....

Hello everyone

I am not getting a yellow screen but if i tilt the phone by no more than 5 degrees off the centre line of my vision the colour distorts. usually to a blue/purple shade. Is this an amoled thing? Does anyone else get this effect?

Thanks

Bono519
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
It's normal for AMOLES, yes. Seems to be worse on this screen than others, though. The Nexus 6 screen for example needed a higher angle before you saw the color shift.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisexv6:
My 64GB has a warmer tint to the screen, but I think the important part is that its consistent. Which means it can be tweaked with RGB value changes, which will most likely be built into future ROMs and kernels (ElementalX kernel already has it)

I havent tested the speakers yet (to see if the sound level is close to even out of both of them) but those seem to be the other big sticking point of the phone so far.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
If the screen is uniform then yeah at least you can fix it with a kernel. The uneven tinting is where I'd RMA. The viewing angle does kind of suck, but I'm getting used to it.

My speakers are slightly imbalanced, but I think most are like that. :/
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisexv6:
Yeah, to me its always in the back of my mind "could I get a better one?"

Went through 3 Galaxy Nexus examples and then just settled on "the best of the worst", they all had screen coloring issues. But honestly my N6P has a more consistent screen than all 3 of those ever did.

If the speakers arent too bad and bluetooth seems to work OK, Im good to go (provided I can get the darn thing activated, but thats another thread!)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jockson:
This is precisely why I hate AMOLED screens. Well that and the fact that they degrade and burn in as well. Whites on an AMOLED are not going to match those of an LCD, not even close. Just like the opposite is true for blacks. Some OLED panels are better than the others with the best ones being just bearable. With most content and even GUI being white now, whites are way more important imo. As long as it is uniformly yellow, it should be possible to correct when tools become available but don't go overboard when they do. There is a reason these screens are calibrated that way. Blue OLEDs degrade MUCH faster and making the color temperature too cold will accelerate the color shift a lot. Screen filter apps are not a good solution BTW.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aakashji:
coming from nexus 5, screen is yellowish. nexus 5 is much whiter. Will see this phone for a week if screen becomes better after burning period.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdave79:
So I got to compare my screen against my old Oneplus One and my wife's iPhone 6 (both LCD) and then compared it to my colleague's Note 4. Against the LCDs, yes there does appear to be a yellow tint. Against the AMOLED Note 4 the 6P screen actually seemed brighter and a touch whiter. I'm beginning to think that maybe it's just normal for AMOLED to look like this. It's probably because I'm so used to LCDs that I'm noticing the yellow tint.

I actually had asked Google for an RMA (only to be told a product specialist would get back to me in 1-2 days) but I'm now thinking that since my screen is uniform and my device doesn't have any other major issues, I'll just wait till a custom kernel comes along to fix this.

Totally agree, my nexus 6 is way warmer when placed next to my nexus 6p. The 6p might even be a little too much on the cool side for me, but I'll probably get used to it. Also, I'm not seeing the yellow whites at all that people are complaining about.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fchowd0696:
I just received my 6P today and the first thing I did was compare my Note 5 with the 6P at max brightness on the Google now page. Omg is there a significant yellow cast on the 6P. I'll try to take a picture of both side by side. I'm really hoping it's the glue residue that needs to be settled but its pretty bad. And no the Note 5 doesn't have a naturally 'cool' display. It's neutral. In fact next to the iPhone 6 plus it looks warm. I'm going to wait one week to see if it gets any better. If not I'm going to RMA. If the second one is similar then I'm just going to return it and stick with the Note 5. Would be really disappointing because I love stock Android. But the yellow cast is just nasty.

I have 2 phones and they seem to have different color temp. One has great whites, the other looks a bit tinted/darker. They are now on different build so not sure if that could make any difference. I know for a fact that there is some bug with video playback where black levels are off on K build and look normal on D, so perhaps it could effect the whole OS. Will test tomorrow (better whites are on K)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny1055:
I just compared the nexus 6p screen next to my galaxy tab s2 (which I have set to amoled photo mode) and the colors are almost identical. The brightness is very close as well. According to http://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_S6_ShootOut_1.htm, the amoled photo mode is extremely accurate with the basic mode being the most accurate (and the most warm/yellowish). The default, adaptive mode, is the least accurate and on the cool side which is the Samsung default mode (and made clash of clans look horrible on the tab s2 which is why I switched it off). This tells me that the nexus 6p has a pretty accurate screen. Anyway, the nexus 6 had kernels which allowed setting the white balance so the 6p should get that as well.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirxdroid:
This is my first AMOLED phone and not used to it, coming from years of IPS. Colors are oversaturated, yes I know I can enable sRGB but it doesn't seem to survive reboots.

My screen does not have a yellow tint but I do get a blue or pink tint when I tilt the phone and view the screen from various angles. This seems to be normal for AMOLED, I looked at some Samsung phones in a store and they all did the same thing (besides having some serious burn-in). I guess it's something we need to accept when it comes to AMOLED.

Saving a post so I can reply to the "pink thread" here.

Anyways I have a 64gb aluminium (being returned) and it has faint horizontal bands from left to right when on gray or darker blues. Colors are all slightly cooler and washed out as well.

Here is the banding... harder to see with my crappy galaxy s3 taking the photo a the time.

Now this is my 32gb graphite (on top) vs my 64gb aluminium (bottom)

I think the aluminium's speakers may have been slightly more level but I think the 32 gb's is slightly louder on top... hard to tell really. My 32gb is slightly pinker in the bottom left corner and the screen is over all warmer but with a custom kernel I can change the white point and alter it.
