[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wazka2:
I have just went through few amoled displays threads and there is looaads of them with all sorts of pink/yellow hue.

I think I will try to get used to it.

How did you make those pictures? Whenever I do mine with Oneplus One I get stripes across lol
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
Yeah pretty much every device that has an amoled there is a thread about some sort of tint..

and because Nexus 5X camera > OnePlus One Camera :P
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wazka2:
Is it possible it will go to normal after some time? Some peeps said it could be glue under the screen.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pecata:
I can clearly see what you are talking about on you pics, but I just tested my Nexus 6 display and I have no yellow or pink hue....does it go away after using the phone for awhile?

I thought 6P has a better quality display than the nexus 6..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
Nope, it's constantly there. Although you do not notice it at all unless it's on a white background. I'm seriously thinking about RMAing mine but don't want to get one that's worse (like having both pink and yellow)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjoostema:
[MENTION=3537886]graffixnyc[/MENTION] I agree with you that not everyone can see it. I actually didn't notice it on the turbo until I saw a thread on it, then I couldn't un-notice it ha-ha. After a while though, I believe the eyes adjust and I haven't thought about it since.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pecata:
Yeah, that's what I would be afraid of as well...that's a bummer-premium device and has that kind of flaw...that's a big deal...I wonder if it like that since it's a first batch...maybe I should cancel my order and re-order in 2 months or so...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wazka2:
I was thinking the same that it can improve in next batches but, Samsung is making Amoleds for years and it still happens with all theirs phones so I wouldn't expect to improve in this matter :(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
Here you can see on a normal screen everything looks fine, but I notice it on the all white screens like Google now, chrome etc..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pecata:
Actually now it doesn't look too bad...it's barely visible when there is something else on the screen-unless is just pure white page-I don't think it's that visible...or may be the way I see the pics.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
yeah I think the pink looks better than yellow. I will hold on to my original pink one until I get a good one
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
The phone I saw on display today was perfect, no tints, no gradient almost perfect white. I can't believe we're getting 3 or 4 replacements and they look the way they do, it's just poor QA. Most people will accept it because they don't know what they're looking for.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NateK:
I may try and flash a custom kernel just to see if I can correct things. Then again, I got a Nexus to not *have* to play the ROM game again.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
I have my doubts though... I mean they all have the same kernel so maybe you can mess with the color saturation but the issue will still be there just masked a bit. Idk, if they can get it to work and have pink hue and yellow hue kernels that would be a good workaround but like you said... we would have to wait for them to update it every time they release an update...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
The fact is as well, paying so much for a device you shouldn't have to go messing around with the kernel to get it to look good.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
I agree, and this phone is too good to move on though so I will commit to get a good one. Worst case scenario is I will keep the one I have now.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NateK:
Here's a picture of my new Nexus 6P (on the left) compared with my old LG G2. Happily it's not this obvious on its own, but still...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
would it be possible for you to post a photo of the device on a white screen compared to another device. I want to see the hope :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
Here ya go. You tell me which is which :P

I noticed in the photo my new one appears to have a little pink but I think that might be the angle and maybe the screen protector having a little effect in the pic. It doesn't have it when I normally use it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
you are so lucky, thanks!

You have officially kept hope alive ;)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
You're welcome. I actually took them yesterday to post here but I forgot. Hah Yeah I was happy. I was expecting to be disappointed when it came but much to my surprise I wasn't. I almost jumped up and down.. Haha it's really like winning the lottery.. :P
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
lol look what Huawei has done to us. Buying a device that is perfect is a battle. Oh well we will see. What is the manufacturing date of your device?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
10/29/15
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
lol so much for hoping that the newer devices will save the day
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
Is the one on the left the new one?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NateK:
I'd guess the one on the right is the new one since it's less pick than the other.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
I admit I have OCD when it comes to electronics. Got an RMA, might not be perfectly white, but it works for me, so I am happily enjoying my phone.

Got to get over it at some point. Great way to work on overcoming OCD which many of us appear to have. ;)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpeg42:
You would really take the right over the left? Interesting. Some people are really put off by the warm whites on this phone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
It only looks warmer because the other is pink.. Lol and yes, I sent back the one on the left and am keeping the right one. I would take the one on the right any day compared to the pink on the left. I'd prefer warmer whites over pink.. I have zero complaints about the screen on my new one. I don't see how anyone would pick the left over the right.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpeg42:
Crazy. Maybe is shows different in person. I am seeing splotchy green on the right one. The left doesn't look bad to me at all.

Let me ask you, which of these two would you take:

https://i.imgur.com/7glw3qF.jpg
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
No, it doesn't look green at all in person. For yours I would take the one on the right as well, the pink drives me crazy.

What do you guys think? Which would you pic from his? the one on the left or the one on the right?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpeg42:
And I would agree face on. But then even the slightest angle, the phone would look like this:

https://i.imgur.com/JPWuOZJ.jpg

I'll take the consistent "pinkish" over that any day. But again it is all personal preference. And either the pink has left my phone with usage? or I am just used to it, because I don't notice it being pink at all now. That photo was right out of the box.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
I think after a while you just get use to it. I didn't notice it as much on my pink one after a while, I noticed it a lot more when I used another device and went back to it though (the 5x, ipad mini, m9). The m9 looked blueish in comparison while the 5x was warmer (I have one without the yellow tint but it's still a bit warmer next to other devices especially when the brightness is really low),

I think you're partially right about preference, but I also think the eyes have something to do with it. No two people see the same thing exactly the same and that should be kept in mind when it comes to this stuff. I have always noticed pink on amoled displays (and I've owned a LOT of different phone) Some people, do not notice it at all. I had a couple of friends who didn't notice it for months until I pointed it out to them but once you see it, you can't unsee it. haha

and yeah the other one does have a green blotch it looks like.. Mine doesn't have that at all even when I tilt it.. odd..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
I'd pick the one on the right I think. I prefer cooler screen colours. As long as there's no pink gradient straight on.

Here's mine beside my Nexus 7 2013. Both at min brightness. What a mess the 6P is!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [hfm]:
I'm just going to stop coming to this forum. I never notice the ever so faint pink/purplish on the right side until I see one of these threads. :)

haha That's the same reason why I don't go into build quality threads.. well that's a lie.. I go in to post, but I do not read them.. If I did, then I'll find all kinds of problems I wouldn't ever have noticed before
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
I've had my 6p since Friday and I think all is well. Not completely sure about my screen, so I wanted to take some pics and show you guys.

What is the best way to test this? Which app to use? Take it in the dark? Lowest or highest brightness on the screen? Any other tips?

Thanks!

Don't bother. If you don't see problems don't go looking for them.

I was curious about this, so I took another picture of the same phone after using it for two weeks. Same exact conditions, same app (display tester), same brightness, same camera. It definitely became less pink. Sorry the first one is upside down, but you get the point.

Do as you ask: take a variety from different scenarios while not driving yourself crazy. :) Only way to determine.

Just RMAd mine again. Google are great at being able to return devices. Hopefully I'll strike lucky now!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetsumeikuro:
Welcome to the good screen club! In your picture is adaptive brightness on or off? Also what % for brightness?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tones1971:
I've returned mine for a refund. Google ignored my issue after asking me to send photos of the screen, and ignored all subsequent emails. I can't be bothered with returning this phone several times to get one with an acceptable display.

Back to using my cheap umi iron which cost a quarter the price. Obviously nowhere near as good but nexus 6p just wasn't worth an additional £500
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramone360:
If you look on the right side of screen there's a big long dark line. This issue is only presented on darkish apps/background and not on white apps/background. This is my 3rd replacement. Should I replaced it or keep it? Not big issue but it's quite annoying sometimes.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
100% brightness with adaptive off
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetsumeikuro:
My screen pretty much looks just like yours. Still looks quite nice with adapative and low brightness too. I guess I got very lucky as it's my first and I have an aluminium one which people claim has the defect the most.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
Just got my 4th replacement phone and I think I've got a winner!!!!!!!! No gradients and almost a bright perfect even screen!!!!!!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markwebb:
Good news! Google is now acknowledging screen issues and has started to present some form of response. My 3rd is on the way and I will know on Monday. Hoping it is better but since this response was in last 9 hours, may have another return:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
That is good news. It might get Huawei to do something about their terrible QC. One thing i noticed about each of the devices I had was that the display tint was almost completely different on each phone, one pink, one green, one muddy and almost yellow brown. I'm pretty sure they're using B Grade displays and to my eyes the displays looks very, very similar to the Note 4. One things for sure, they're not Note 5 top range displays.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toraddict:
I had the Nexus 6P for a couple of days first I notice blue when tilting slightly right and left, now I noticed slight pink I noticed it because someone suggested using YouTube white screen that's when I noticed pink moving when tilting up and down. barley noticeable but definitely pink.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
Awesome man, mine is coming Monday... sucks cuz it is just a few miles down the road but I have to wait lol. They wont allow pick up at that location. I hope it is a winner like yours
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NateK:
Just set up my 3rd RMA. Here's hoping device #4 is a winner...

Fingers crossed for everyone else in the RMA process.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toraddict:
I have slight pink above screen not that noticeable and I have blue when tilting very noticeable should I rma?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
If it bothers you, yes. If not no. It's not like you device will stop working but for me it is annoying. Once I saw it I couldn't un-see lol. Some people are picky and some aren't. The question is which side are you on? If it is barely noticeable you could get a worse device but you could get a perfect device. So ready to gamble? ;)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toraddict:
The problem is I'm afraid of getting a worse device, I just wish google would inspect all rma devices. The thing that bothers me the most is blue, the pink is bad at low brightness, but if I up the brightness it becomes faintly pink above the screen. I also have a problem with the microphone, but I don't know if this is software or hardware.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
Just do it, I did it and told them my RMA device was worse than my original and they let me keep the original. Really you have nothing to lose but time. My 3rd device is on it's way
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toraddict:
I think I'am going to wait and see maybe it will go away on its own. Until huawei acknowledges the defect I'am not going to do anything. Thanks anyway for the help.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
There's something strange going on with the new phone I received without a doubt the display is getting worse over the 4 days I've had it. It was very, very slightly pink when I got it, totally unnoticeable. Now the pink is beginning to really show up, it looks like the display is degrading turning a yellow/pink. It's definitely not psychological the tints are definitely changing on the screen(perhaps the glue drying?) . It's beginning to look a bit of a mess again.

There's something totally wrong with the displays on these things, I've never seen this on any other phone I've had.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
Yeah I would say it is settling in. Man, that sucks. Mine will be here today... I really hope this one will be a good one
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
I've given up and am keeping it. The only good thing is the pink/green gradient isn't as bad as the others I've had(although it's really starting to look horrible). Of all the phones I've had over the past few years, cheap Chinese phones, Z2,S6,Nexus 5,Note 4,M8 the display on the 6P is by far the worst. Very disappointing.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
this is the part where I'm supposed to feel good about my odds but now I'm not. At least this device is awesome in all other aspects. Still the best device I have owned. But it is so disappointing. Wish they went with the quantum IPS screen the G4 and V10 have. My fav ;)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tones1971:
Same here. I sent mine back for a refund. The screen on my £120 umi iron is better than the £500 6p. And I really can't be bothered to RMA it several times to get one I'm happy with. I shouldn't have to.

My cheap Chinese phone will do for a few months until I find something better.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
They must be using B or C grade cheap displays from Samsung. It's the only explanation. Low grade Aluminium, cheaper displays etc. It's not even a cheaper device in the UK, it's the same price as top grade flagships!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
My thoughts are Huawei was not geared for or prepared for the amount of demand this phone got so they basically canceled quality control and just tossed these things together. If they had quality testing they wouldn't have assembled the phones with some of these panels. I bet this will come back to bite them, not only will they have to replace all the devices that we return but I will be shocked if google ever uses them again. They tried but taking shortcuts will cost them. It's sad because even if they had to delay the launch but took care of the device this thing would be the best. This device is awesome besides these issues.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
I'd like to know what the RMA rates are and if Google are aware of this. Probably a bit of a gamble to use Huawei to start with.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
yeah, I bet they are pissed. Not only does this damage the Huawei name but the nexus name

Now I get it, the P stands for Problems or "Probably should have got Motorola/HTC/Samsung/LG to make this"
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NateK:
Did Google do extra quality checking for the review units sent out? I don't recall seeing any reviewers complaining about the screen quality.

They must have - or reviewers need to have their eyes examined. I mean, I'm 0 for 3 thus far on device screen quality.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharpehenry:
I was thinking the same. If they sent out defected phone to the reviewers, they would definitely pin pointed out. every reviewers on youtube I've seen claimed they have gorgeous displays with awesome color corrections given that AMOLED displays tend to over saturate stuff. I am seriously thinking about going back to my LG G4. but is it a good trade off since Nexus lines get express lane for the update..?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarlosAbia:
Just got mine on the mail this morning, RMA or no? (sorry for the reflection)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NateK:
Better than any 6P I've personally seen in my possession. Only you can answer the question, though. Always hard to tell from pictures.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
it's hard to tell from the photo. Is it really bad in person. Just like I commented above if it bothers you swap it out but it could take many RMAs before you find a good one. If it is very minimal you may want to thin twice. In the end it won't hurt you to RMA but it could take a lot of time and energy ;). If it is annoying and bad I would say RMA no question.

To properly test download the app display tester and go into the "defective pixel detection" and move it to white. Slide you finger horizontally to adjust brightness and see if the colors stay pretty white or if you see pink/yellow/blue areas.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
The screens I've seen in reviews look fine. I also examined the display unit in my local Carphone Warehouse and it looked great. How can I have had 4 phones and they've all had problems to varying degrees?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
They hate us :(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tones1971:
Yeah which is why i wasnt prepared to put up with it. If youre buying a phone priced the same as other flagships, then i would expect the QHD AMOLED screen to be stunning. I was gutted from the moment i first turned it on, it looked bad right from the start. Seeing people on here had the same problem and required 4 RMAs to get a good one just put me right off it.

plus google asked me to send in pics of it then just ignored me when i did.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtwlbz:
it's funny that I was tired of doing this RMA game for screen for nexus 6 and even nexus 5. that's why I moved to iphone 6s plus this time expecting better build quality but I already replaced iphone 3 times for the same reason. there is no perfect phones out there...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [hfm]:

So my new device is muddy yellow whites....They seem more uniform but not at all close to real whites... this sucks... I haven't done extensive tests because it is still restoring but I still prefer the original device. Idk why but the whites are more white (besides the top portion that is pink of course).

On another note I notice the speakers are more balanced and the buttons stick out almost twice as much as the original. It's like they redesigned it. If that is so I think all of them will be this way...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markwebb:
Well my third phone arrived today and I held my breath... and partially exhaled. This is the best of all so far but I still see a pink cast though not as obvious but very faint. I think I will keep this one and I agree that in order to meet the price point, screen choice was compromised.

This build date is 11/03 compared to 10/13 and 10/19 respectively.

It definitely is not pure white unless moved ever so slightly.

Just RMA'd device #4. Google representative offered me a refund without me asking, which I thought was nice. I declined the refund. I love the phone and truly hope I can find a great screen. On to device #5!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpeg42:
You have a fifth device coming?? Wow at that point I would have just taken the refund. That sucks.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjschafe:
Yeah. Devices 3 and 4 were not perfect by any means, but maybe good enough for most to accept. They were certainly better than the first two. I figured once I'm into RMA land, I'm not going to settle. If #5 isn't good, I'll probably go for the refund. Unfortunately there isn't really any other phone out there that strikes my fancy.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
Why is the display so dirty looking? What is the cause of that? Almost like a browny colour. So horrible which I don't see on any other of my devices but have seen on ever 6P I've had?
