[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] just4747:
I was just going to ask this - for the people who are saying the screen is great and whites are really white, etc...I mean they can't really be seeing what we are seeing right? It's not awful or terrible but it is definitely noticeable slightly yellowish/warm to me, especially compared to my LCD G3 screen and an iPhone 5 screen.

Do you really think all AMOLEDs are slightly yellow/warm? I can't let myself believe that but at the same time I haven't had an AMOLED in a while so it's hard for me to decide in my mind...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
I was talking more about the pinkish hue. Amoled whites have always sucked. lol They are never white but always have a tint to them. With the nexus s it was a blueish tint, with later devices like the GS6, Turbo etc... it's a pinkish tint.. I mean if you just do a search of Insert_any_device_name_that_uses_amoled_screens_here and "pink tint" or "blue tint" or "purple tint" there will be at least one thread or something about it online for every single device.. lol I think some people's eyes aren't as sensitive to it so it's not as noticeable to them
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] just4747:
Well I consider mine more yellow than pinkish, and also goes away when you tilt it - but I'm sure everyone sees the temperature slightly different.

I know there are always variations of screens but knowing that there PROBABLY is a much more balanced/correct version of the display out there is an awful feeling - the thought of having to get a second one and the second one will possibly suck too is just the worst (first world problems).

It also sucks that these aren't in local stores to go in and compare the display to.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MYxdaUSERNAME:
Fwiw, mines the exact same way. There's a small degree of head-on angle that goes yellow-whites instead of bluish-whites.

Putting it side-by-side with my Turbo, its still a lot less yellow and I never had an issue with the Turbo screen.

Will keep you posted, I expect delivery sometime this morning (currently 8:00am UK) I am at work so when I can I'll post :)

*UPDATE*

Replacement device was marginally better but still tinted. Additionally the band that is glued down under the HUWAWEI logo is not properly glued down therefore not even and can be pressed back in

Device Number 2 requested :(

Ok, I rma'd my phone this morning which I received 10/28 and was built on 10/13 because I thought the pink cast was not acceptable and I couldn't get rid of it. I have calibrated it with various color profiles in Kernel Adiutor based on other kernels, but the pink is still there, though ever so slightly but still doesn't match the whites on the Nexus 6. I expect to have my new unit the end of this week and will report back.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmalready:
1st replacement perfect!

So I've been following this thread after I received my first Nexus 6p. I had a green tint on the left side and a pint tint on the right, only noticeable at lower brightness.

This pink tint issue is nothing new to me because I went through this with my Galaxy S6. 2 replacements And the second one was still not perfect. So I know what to look for in these latest amoled screens. My previous Galaxy S5 had a perfectly even screen.

So anyway, back to the Nexus 6p.

I requested a replacement which I just received. I've tried my best to see a flaw with the replacement and this screen, but its perfect. No pink tint, no dead pixels, nothing wrong.... So I'm happy.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adi_scorpios:
My replacement that I received today was worst than my original device. Kept the original device, sent the replacement back and ordered another replacement.

Other issue that I saw on the replacement device that I don't have on my original nexus 6p was with black camera glass. Top of the glass was depressed than bottom part a lot that you can feel the edge of body. I checked my original device and it doesn't have that. Hopefully next one is better than this two.

Out of curiosity I asked Google rep about the glass on back camera shattering without any physical damage and his response was that they are aware of the issue and they are investigating.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharpehenry:
i've received my replacement. unluckily i am at work and my phone is at home awaiting. seems like they are sending replacement with overnight shipping. came from Illinois to California in 1 night. hopefully my replacement is better than my current one. I may have to look at other cosmetic damages as well. Hwawei's quality control is little too loose so it seems.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
The pink tint down one side of my screen is starting to really annoy me. My S6 Edge is uniform all over. I'm really debating whether to RMA, by the looks of it, all units seems to have some sort of defect.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nags92:
I have paid £0 for shipping, all free of charge, second replacement has already been shipped. Holding feed on my card only.

Return is also free, dropped off at a UPS drop off point. Best RMA service I've used. Can still use my current phone in the mean time

Highly recommend it if your in the UK and want to RMA :)

Good Luck !

Took some comparison shots with my Galaxy Note 3 (left) and my Nexus 6P (right) with my Shield Tablet, because it's the only other camera I have.

Both phones on lowest brightness setting with 6P's adaptive brightness off.

It looks noticeable pink to me., especially in the dark. Think this should warrant an RMA?

If pink is even then don't RMA because all have it.

My screen is perfect, even throughout, no pink noticed at low brightness.

What speaker issue with gasket in wrong place? First I've heard of this.

That is the first picture I've seen that really is pink. Mine is all the way down with adaptive brightness on and it doesn't seem that pink at all. Compared with my wife's Note 4 and both screens are good with no color issues.

2nd replacement, much better in comparison but has a yellow tint near the middle area of the screen. No pink or blue hue.

Not sure whether to accept it as it could just be the glue needs drying, or do I attempt number 3 :(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdub251:
I believe the tinting issued to be back light calibration. I downloaded lux and it's made my screen uniform.

Awaiting an email response from Google regarding my recent replacement. If worse comes to worse I'll take this replacement tweak using a kernel
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skitals:
My screen is pink in the top right corner. It's actually like a color temp gradient going from the bottom left (coolest) to top right (warm). It's not super obvious on all content, but it has started driving me completely insane. Cannot be unseen, particularly on light colored backgrounds (read, almost every website/text content). I've had plenty of screens of varying quality of all different color temps. Your brain will adjust to different color temps. Your brain will not adjust without uniformity. After getting a runaround from tech (were refusing to do a exchange, wanted the phone to be sent in to be examined first), I ordered a replacement. Be careful what you say. Don't tell them the backlighting isn't uniform. Tell them part of your screen is pink. They made me send SCREENSHOTS of the phone to ensure it wasn't a software problem. Ugh. Worst part is my phone has a Nov 16-17 delivery window even though I selected one day shipping. I guess they have no more 64GB Graphite. Hopefully I get a new/better batch.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolguy949:
Was this through Google or Huawei?

I have the same issue, but my pink is on the top left. There are some times I don't see it at all and others where I can't unsee it. My phone is prefect otherwise. I've contemplated keeping it but times like this morning I just want to send it back and wait for QC issues to get fixed. One thing I have noticed is that it has a rainbow effect. The pink area shifts when I tilt the phone. That's why I wonder if it's a defect or just a characteristic of this display. Are there really people out there that have zero pink?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
It's driving me crazy too. My worry is I order a replacement and the screen is worse or it has other defects :(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolguy949:
I love this phone but I might just give up and wait for an SD820 offering later. I'm not sure I want to reward bad behavior anymore. Google sucks at enforcing good QC. This is the 3rd Nexus model I've experienced defects on. Nexus 5 was a nightmare for me with 3 exchanges (7 dead pixels; black dust specs under a very yellow screen; vibration motor DOA) that I just ended up going back to my S4. The Nexus 7 2013 had similar issues where mine came with multiple dead pixels and a stuck volume down button (on two exchanges!). Admittedly this is the best Nexus device I've owned experientially but it drives the point home to me that we put up with so much as Nexus supporters. The lesson that I always fail to learn is not to be an early adopter of Nexus. But I just get too anxious to get one. /rant

Edit: Sorry for the rant, guys. Definitely first world problems. I told myself I'd give it until Monday before I decide what to do. Just need to decide if having a slightly pink screen is something I can live with versus the other potential issues I don't have.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
Not at all true. Both of my devices I returned weren't uniformly pink, even the 2nd device with the perfect screen. It was a cool colour temp even at low brightness.

Oh and I was completely wrong about Samsung having sorted out their own screens on their own devices. My note 5 came and the bottom of the screen has noticeable brightness issues, looks like extreme light bleed you'd see on an lcd panel. Quite awful.

Screen EQ sorts it with a dark overlay. But otherwise yeah, I was kinda wrong about the 6p not using the Note 5 display, because it does. It just so happens that (brightness aside) it's still the same poor Note 4 display just repackaged :/

Thankfully it's just a temp phone till they sort out the nexus issues. I miss those stereo speakers, fingerprint scanner, and the software buttons (surprisingly).
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anglerstock:
ok keep doing RMA-s lol
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmalready:
I would compare the 6p to a Galaxy s6 or Note 4/5 since the displays used in those devices tend to have that pink tint. Some more than others. All in all the whites are more accurate on these devices, 6p included.

The Note 3 had a very cool, greenish display.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skitals:
Yeah, same. Since you don't send your phone back until you get the replacement, you can compare them and I guess keep your current phone if the replacement isn't better? I'm not sure how that would work.

On the brighter side, my replacement that I ordered today already shipped! It was showing leaves warehouse by Nov 16.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backdown00:
What happens when you raise the brightness?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharonelli:
I got an exchange for my first 6p, which had a pink hue on the top half of the screen and blue on the bottom half. I got the replacement today and it's pink all over. I sent Fi CS this pic and they will send another replacement when they get one of these 2 back. Sorry if this pic is sized too big.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbodan:
I finally bit the bullet and got a RMA for my phone. I had a very slight pink tint on the left, especially the bottom left. I kept hoping it would go away since my phone was perfect otherwise, but no dice. Every day I checked it was still there and once I had seen it, I couldn't unsee it. Process was painless for me, only took about 5-10 minutes and I had a new one on the way. The delivery estimate said Nov. 16-17th when I placed my order even with 1-day shipping, but it has already shipped and Fedex says it should be delivered tomorrow. I hope the screen is perfect this time and there are no other issues.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reid Malenfant:
My 6p had a slight pink tint on the top of the display. It wasn't even that bad and I wouldn't have RMA if the tint was uniform throughout the display.

Otherwise the device was perfect. I just hope that the device that they send me does not have another flaw. I bought it with Google, what is the procedure if you get a RMA device that has defects? You just RMA again?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpeg42:
I am in the same boat with the green tint on my first device. But I am keeping my replacement which is pinker in comparison. At least my new one seems uniform and doesn't have the distracting hue when I view it at the slightest angle. I 'll take uniform all over. Who knows, the warmness might clear up with some usage over time or I can adjust it with a kernel. And it only looks "pink" when comparing directly with something else. I don't notice it on its own. Happy I did the RMA.

Replacement on top, original on the bottom. Picture taken at an angle to show the green tint I was seeing.

Note 5 on right, 6P on Left

Is my screen okay? What should I do?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pawnty:
Once the brightness hits ~20% it's better, but still noticeable.

Screen issue aside, I'm noticing that the little piece at the bottom of the back of the phone isn't completely flush. running my nail up and down over the seam, it's fine on the right side but on the left it's raised and my nail get's caught. It's also visibly higher than the right side, so tomorrow I'm going to call Google and ask for an rma.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpeg42:
For the screen issue, it is really just a crapshoot. Good luck. But for the plastic antenna piece, I think you will go mad trying to find one that is completely flush if your test is running a nail across it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramone360:

Received my RMA today 128GB Frost. Both had a build date of Oct 25. My original one is noticeably pink while my RMA is uniformed cool tone. I'm keeping the RMA. Only problem is the buttons on my RMA device are more squishy while my original device was nice and firm.

I noticed a coworker had an S6 today and got him to lower his brightness on a white screen so I could compare. If the s6's tend to have a pink tint then he got a perfect one as his screen is not pink at all. Mine still is.

Some other people came over and started comparing iphones and non-amoled displays as well, which didn't help me whatsoever, but I let them satisfy their curiosity. :P

Anyways I just got off the phone with Google and have an RMA and replacement ordered. Crossing my fingers for a good one.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramone360:
If you look to the right of the screen is darker than the left side. Is this pink,black screen ?

Build date 10-25-15

I RMA it
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikaHakkinen:
Got my frosty 64, build date is 10/25. Hmm, what do you guys think? No other issues with the phone whatsoever. Speakers seem balanced. My N5 camera seems inconsistent :confused:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 91SDLegend:
I would try to take another picture with a better camera. But by the looks of it, the pink shows up at certain angles you're taking the pictures at.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikaHakkinen:
Yeah, N5 camera is not the best :eek: Unfortunately it's the only one I have. I am on the fence about it. One second the screen seems good, then not so. Thinking about giving it a week or so, maybe the glue will settle?:confused: Or maybe just wait for the new batch to arrive and then RMA it if I am not happy with this one still? Decisions, decisions...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pawnty:
More noticeably I see a LOT of green in the bottom left corner, and to some extent all along the bottom and left sides of your screen.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
So do I, doesnt look very uniform although could be the camera. I'd RMA that.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbrehob:
Mine has a slight blue hue when tilting it vertically, when looking directly at it I can't see anything. This is a product of AMOLED screens.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbodan:
My second phone is the same way. Mainly at the bottom. It doesn't bother me nearly as much as my 1st phone with a pink hue on the left side at all angles. I think there might also be a slight pinkish hue in the middle of the second device, sometimes I think I can see it and sometimes I don't think I can. Either way it's super minor and isn't really noticeable. I'm probably going to keep the second phone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
Whilst I'm waiting on my 2nd RMA phone, I've been looking at my old Nexus 7 2013, S6 Edge, my wife's IPhone 5S and a few AMOLED Chinese phones I had lying around and none of them have the pink hue uneven screen problems to the extent my 6P has. I just don't know how Huawei can pass this off as good QC. Seems they've rushed the phones out in the hope people won't notice, it's so annoying as I can't be bothered sending back phones until I get a good screen. I'd like to know the RMA rate for the 6p.

Was on the fence about replacing my partially pink screen... then my camera glass had the spontaneous cracking, so I ordered my replacement Monday. Finally shipped today (32gb aluminum color), so I'll update Monday on device #2 performance.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
The green means nothing. He got an excellent display there. Looks almost perfectly uniform compared to most I've seen.

Kernel can easily fix the greenish colour calibration.

The first screen on the pic though, its a disaster. Arguably worse than having a top to bottom gradient.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
Perhaps I'm being picky but in the 2nd display there's a pink to green gradient. I don't see that sort of gradient on any other devices I have or have had. Granted, the first display is a disaster but the 2nd still isn't acceptable.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
I can see that yeah, the left to right gradient, ever so slight. Unfortunately you'll struggle to find anything "acceptable" when it comes to amoled screens if you know where the faults lie :(

Looks like an easy fix though with the app. Not ideal obviously, but an extremely dark (almost black) purple/blue gradient will make the problem non-existant, and amoleds handle that app extremely well. LCD on the other hand, and you'd be screwed.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
What app is that, the screen EQ app?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpeg42:
Yes, first screen is bad. For sure. But I had the green hue splotches like in the second picture and I couldn't deal with it. I didn't try a kernel, but I returned it and received a pinker (warmer) screen. Next to each other it doesn't look good, but in normal use I don't notice it. It seems uniform and I no longer have horrible green hues at slight angles.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aaahh.yellow&hl=en_GB

Takes a bit of fiddling to get right. All I'll say is, the more saturated the colour you use (even at only 97-98% opacity) will cause you to see the gradient against dark backgrounds, such as the shadow that appears when you pull down the notification tray.

It's always better to match the screen to the duller parts of the display. Calibrate the screen so that the duller areas show the colour you want if you have to, then use the Screen EQ app to bring the brighter areas down to that colour.

Basically, pick the colour thats similar to what you want using the colour wheel, bring the contrast down towards the black end of the scale, and then adjust opacity appropriately. Like I say, takes some tinkering, but the easiest way to tell is using the notification panel in both portrait and landscape.

Small note: Theres a bug that if you switch from one landscape orientation to the opposite side quickly, the gradient wont flip. You need to go portrait, then to the side you want in order to apply it properly.

I got my second phone and at first I thought I was ok with it but after looking at it some more now I'm not sure. It looks like it's pinkish in the center and green or blue on the bottom.

Ignore the banding, that's just the camera.
