[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxwellr:
Just an update. I returned 6p, got an LG G4 and hoped for a uniform screen as it's a different screen technology. Still got a ****ty display. Returned. Then I got a note5, still ****ty display. Returned.

I decided to try the iPhone 6s+, I am currently using it. It's still not perfect, but better than all other ones I have tried. Here is an image: http://imgur.com/4bxItD5

The black spot is just finger smudge.

Bottom left part of the screen on my 6P has yellowish/greenish tint. Just got the phone 3 days ago.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crylentino:
Same problem here with my Nexus 6P.

Not only that, but mine also has banding across the lower part of the screen. It's especially visible on grey backgrounds.

I sent it in, and it got sent to Arvato (I'm in Europe).

They sent it back with the messages:

Consumer complaint:

No display indication - permanent

Repair text from repair center:

The root cause of the defect was the software. A warranty repair has been performed by updating the device to a new software version. The factory settings have been restored along with the latest software version in accordance to the manufacturer's requirements.

Can you believe this sh*t?? So now I've been without my new phone for three weeks, and when I get it back, all they've done is update Android -- which I of course had already done before restoring to factory settings when sending it in. I don't think they've even READ my complaint.

Any suggestions on what to do here?

UK consumer here. My first 6P has the pink hue down the right hand side about 15mm in. Spoke to Google Support and received a replacement today. Fired the new one up, noticed straight away an even more obvious pink hue coming from the top left corner taking up about 40% of the screen, probably worse than the first phone. Spoke to Google Support again who said it can be the screen glue that needs to cure and it should settle with use over the next week. He said if it doesn't improve to a satisfactory level call back and they will send out another replacement.

If my third replacement is the same, I might ask for a fourth replacement but failing that I'm going to ask for a refund. Such a shame. You can't have one side of the screen showing white and the other side showing pink, that's just not acceptable.

Edit: uploaded photos, marking where my eyes are drawn to the transition

I am afraid your new device probably will be the same. If you are lucky to a lesser degree. But it seems like you have to settle with the screen on the nexus 6p. I had 4 devices with bad screens. My note 3 screen was way better, also its viewing angles were better.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orion575:
Same here. Bottom left part of the screen has a green tint. The rest of the screen is perfect. Got my Gold Nexus 6P ten days ago. Thinking if I should RMA it.

I'm on my 8th Nexus 6P, all have had defective displays. Needless to say, I'm furious at this stage.

I'm in the exact the same situation as you. I'm on my 2nd 6P. My 3rd is going to be delivered to me on Monday. I hope it's good. Although google has assigned a person to my case and we'll continue this cycle until I get a good one haha. I don't really mind. Got a back that's installed in minutes. So I'm up and running pretty quick each time. It doesn't cost anything to have it exchanged and there's not effort either since ups is 5 minutes walking away.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
Wow, that is bad. I did not think I would really see it but that is clearly pink.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android4life92:
They look like an amoled screen at an angle to me
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jluspo:
Can google RMA mine without any question it has uneven screen brightness i bought it in canada. Almost 2 months used
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cleva1:
Lol I guess I see the difference..... Since you pointed it out...... However, when I looked away and looked back I saw nothing worth 4 RMA's. To each his own, just a bit discouraged this diminishes the users who have serious issues who will ultimately get defective units by this
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
4 RMA is a bit. I would have given up after the second one and gone with an IPS if it bothered me that much. However on mine I don't see the unevenness. In the picture their phone looked like it had waves of uneven color. When mine is a pink hue it is across the entire device. Its only slightly pink in low brightness and does not bother me. I know its how all amoled panels behave in low brightness. I think I got a better than average panel though cause even next to my sgs6 this screen looks a lot better. More accurate whites and when it hues blue or pink its very slight. You would have to focus on it to bother you. I do think Samsung needs to do a better job at making a consistent product. Maybe instead of pouring billions into a new plant they could sharpen up their existing tech. One can dream can't they ...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BTT8:
Which screen do yall think is better? Which would yall rather rock with?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orion575:
Top right.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schl1ngel:
The right one is more uniform, but it looks pretty pink.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android4life92:
I'd go for top left. I think blue tints arnt as painful as pinks

It is mine problem:eek:. 32GB Grey 17/11/2015
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android4life92:
Nah that's fine. Don't worry about it
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schl1ngel:
I hope you are kidding. That screen is horrible. It goes from pink at the top to green at the bottom.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ostatni:
True. I ordered it on amazon.it and now w8ing for new one. They send me new and will be with me on Monday. I hope that it will now clean
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android4life92:
No its fibe. You won't get better. People see this thread and get paranoid and create the problem smh
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ostatni:
In the picture doesnt look so bad, but in reality it is a big problem. IT shouldnt be on any phone for 649€
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Not true. People aren't creating this problem, I'm certainly not. I'm on my 8th Nexus 6P and all of them have had defective displays, two of them have also had power buttons that were sunken into the body of the phone more than they should have been. This tinting of the screen is a problem that's inherent in the manufacturing process of AMOLED screens, part of the process is exposing the panel to light, which is unevenly dispersed across the sheet. The screens that are cut from closer to the center of the sheet will suffer this effect much less, but those cut further from the center suffer it much more. You got a phone that doesn't have this tinting, great, but that doesn't mean others haven't. I know you're in a habit of defending this phone no matter what the circumstances, but the image you said was fine is clearly not fine, that's a major problem, especially since this device costs do so much.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android4life92:
I know how there made. But my bad looking at the pic again it is a bad one. I understand that. But if you've had 8 of them you are getting too obsessed and looking for it too much. You will find tints on every amoled screen

---------- Post added at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 AM ----------

And mine isn't perfect but pretty good but I could make it really bad if obsessed over it
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Sorry, but no, I'm not getting too obsessed. The tint on the eight phones I've had has been clearly visible during normal use of the phone, I'm not searching for it, it's there plain as day. The level of tinting on the phones I've received is unacceptable for a device that I paid $999 for. Don't tell me about my own experience, you have no insight on it at all. In fact, why are you even commenting here? Unless you're experiencing this level of tinting yourself all you're doing is speculating on other people's experiences with no first-hand insight on them, telling them that their very real problems don't exist, you're trolling. If you're happy to accept tinting on your device, good for you, but don't dictate to others whether they should accept it or not. All that serves to do is diminish their right to have a phone without fault.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android4life92:
That was lolz. S6 are all the same.

[MENTION=4153349]Heisenberg[/MENTION]

It is true, phone is great but this problem immediately strikes in the eye. Probably I will try to replace it 3 times, if Amazon doesnt do the problem and If it will be problem then I ask them about cash back.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schl1ngel:
I think Samsung is glad they found someone buying their cheap panels instead of wasting them.

I exchanged four times and you have always a tint. You have to try to live with it. Honestly to replace the device eight times is ridiculous. Simply buy a device with a good screen or accept it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Ridiculous to you maybe, but there isn't another phone on the market that I'd consider. I know there's always a tint, my objective is to get one that's acceptable enough. Why does it matter to you anyway? It doesn't affect you. It's my choice, and I'm the one who has to live with it, so it's my judgement and my decision alone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android4life92:
That's very untrue. The s6 have just as many screen problems
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ostatni:
I dont accept something that is visible all the time. Oneplus also had a yellow tint and after 5 exchange came clean screento me. I will not forgive myself so brilliant phone, because currently there is nothing meaningful
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
He is right. Samsungs own devices are plagued with the exact same screen issues. Just look at the s6 forums. Samsung is the problem here. It's funny how people that bash this device praise Samsung. Yet the screen flaws are because of them. What's Huawei supposed to do. Throw away 9 out of 10 devices. Samsung has quality control issues. The the s6 was being released with dirt and scratches all over the inside of the screen and also with bad gorilla glass that would scratch with your fingernail, not to mention the hardware/software problems. Hopefully by all these returns Samsung will get tired of paying for bad screens and do something about their quality control.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android4life92:
Finally someone that knows what there talking about. :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cleva1:
Slightly,

But you involved other's by making a thread about it so of course others will have an opinion. Personally, unless it's down right PINK like horrid would I consider such a petty gripe. I wouldn't have the time for 4+RMA. It does eventually effect other consumers, refurbish changes, price changes, etc. All from abuse.

Finally, I'm sure this isn't your first phone and you bought the Nexus 6P because you wanted it not because you needed it there is a difference. .......
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I didn't create this thread. And yes, the tinting on my phones has been horrid, otherwise I wouldn't be bothering with the RMA process. That's my whole point, it isn't just slight tinting that I've been experiencing, it is severe, and as a consumer I have a right to exchange a product that doesn't meet the quality that you'd expect after paying such a large sum of money. To suggest that I'm abusing the RMA system is just wrong, and quite frankly it's rude considering you have zero knowledge of the level of the problem that I've been dealing with. No, I don't technically need this exact device, but I'm not going to spend hundreds of dollars on a different phone that I don't actually want. It's my money, and it's my right to choose what I spend it on.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
I'm not saying this to be negative, but don't bother trying to reason with some of these people here. There are a select few who jump into every single thread with a negative comment and defend this phone as if they work for the company.

I've just learned to say my piece, agree to disagree and move on. Unfortunately there is no winning with these types.

OK folks. If this thread is only going to become a battleground, I will be closing it.

There must be some devices with no pink hue at all.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synplex:
I've been seriously wondering about this myself (on my 5th RMA and given up). Has anyone seen a Nexus 6P with a Perfect or almost perfect screen?

I know some people will claim their device is without fault, but they might not be sensitive enough to pick up the tint issue (or wont admit it they see one).

So are there any devices with a perfect Even "Not redish" screen out there?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
I really doubt there is an amoled in existence without a bit of a blue/pink hue. It's just the nature of the beast. However I have looked at some photos of the bad ones and mine is nowhere near that pink. I believe the one I have is as good as it gets. Next to my Samsung Gs6 it looks worlds better and its the exact same tech. I do keep my screen at %30 brightness all the time though and don't use auto bright.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You're right about this, there will always be some level of tinting due to the manufacturing process. I'm just hoping I eventually get one that's a bit more acceptable.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
My 4th device has a fairly even colour screen so much so I'm happy with it and I see no uneven tint on daily use. With the adjusted kernel colours it's as white as I can get it. I doubt there's a perfect screen but I've certainly found a good one now (albeit after 4 phones).
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synplex:
My 2nd RMA'ed phone was even any not has red, but had NFC and Bluetooth issues :( (no winning)

All of my RMAs have had the Build date 10-25-2015 (128gb Frost white model) I hoping the last 2 RMAs would be from different build, but nope, all from the same batch :rolleyes:

Hopefully newer Build dates will bring less defected screens. :confused:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxxshadow:
I just got a brand new 6P from the Play Store and it has the 10-25-2015 build date. Unfortunately, my screen is a bit pink on the top right corner of the screen. This is my 3rd 6P, kinda disappointing too. Debating if I should just return it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I've been through eight of these things, all have had tinting. I've given up on the idea that there are any out there without any tinting at all.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxxshadow:
So did you just settle on the last unit? Or you gave up on the 6P entirely
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:

Do you think I need RMA? The square in the middle is realized from the app that I used to gain white screen (it's a torch app). The lines are really strange they are visible only by fotocamera not by my eyes. For the rest I think the display is quite pink especially in centre and upper

Yea mine is supernoticable unless you go "looking for it", its mostly on the topright side
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxxshadow:
for the units you had, did the tinting occur on different areas of the screen or was it Cleary visible throughout the whole screen.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shantaram77:
Awful for the color? Because the lines are not visible to my eyes. I think it is a problem of refresh rate between the display and the photocamera that I ve used
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
Yeah the color, sorry. That pink is really evident.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sJames123:
First 6P i ordered had pink cast along the right edges. When its charger failed to charge beyond 50%, got that replaced.

Second one had overall pink hue with two even pinker blotches dancing around. Coming from N5, this was a shocker.

I used screen filter to turn up the blue and green components and then whites became much better overall ( really good actually - that shows how good the screen could have been ).

However the blotches still made it bad to read text on light background apart from screenshots looking green.

This time seller offered to refund rather than replace.

Nexus 6P = Nexus in 6 Shades of Pink ?

Wondering whether to pull the trigger on Moto X Style 2015 or gamble with another batch of Nexus 6P at a later time or wait for SD 820 ones with LCD ...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceDuff93:
Hi guys!

Just saw this thread and wanted to shortly tell you my story. I usually move to a new phone once a year, so in 2015 I had a Galaxy Note 4. I actually bought two, white for me, black for a friend of mine. We compared them and colors were not the same: mine had a pink tint, his had a more yellowish tint. Overall, his display looked slightly better, though mine was acceptable too. The tinting on mine was more evident on the upper half of the display.

Funny enough, this time something opposite happened. I bought the 6P in the first days of december, from Amazon (Italy). This time my friend didn't make the upgrade, so I honestly didn't even think about tinting issues at all until today. I compared it to my father's Galaxy S6 (Native mode vs sRGB on the 6P) and I honestly prefered mine. I like AMOLED because of the deep black, etc, but I don't like oversaturated colors at all. Anyway, the issue came today, as I bought another 6P, this time from a local well-known online seller. I was doing the usual first-time configuration stuff (installing apps, etc) and I started having a weird feeling. I picked up my own 6P and put them side by side. Well, turns up the two display show different colors. The new one (!) has a pink tint. The whole panel has a slight pink tint, but it's more noticeable on the upper left corner. Turning up the brightness manually to 50% or higher does make the difference less pronounced, but I usually stay on the 30-35% zone. I've already been in contact with Amazon to return the first one because it has the unbalanced speaker issue, but I'm now thinking maybe I should return the one that came today straight away. Side by side, I definitely prefer my old one. It might tend to yellow/green, but it's not noticeable and, most importantly, it's uniform, so I can always correct it with a custom kernel.

When my father comes home I'll borrow his S6 to take a pic of the two 6Ps.

I'm also thinking I might try using the new one for some days (without comparing to the old one!), to see if there's any adjustment, or if my eyes can adjust, and if I can use it without being bothered by it.

P.S.: the old one was manufactured November, 17. The new one is January, 13.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sJames123:
Ordered another Nexus 6P , this time Special Edition Gold ( looks stunning ) in the hopes of another batch..

Its Dec 15th build ( the other two were October ) , and the display overall only turns very slightly pinkish even at the lowest brightness.

There is a slight uneven coloration at low-medium brightness , but that is noticeable only if you go looking for it.

Overall happy with this one and am keeping it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dogelition_man:
I've had 3 different Frost 6Ps in January and February, they all had bad tinting, and were built in October.

With the current discount, I'm considering buying a 64 gb Aluminium 6P, hoping that it has a more recent build date.

Anyone have experience with devices with more recent build dates? Do they actually have fewer issues?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
Mine is an October 29 build date. I have been using it since December. I have not had any of the issues with abnormal pink hue or bending or anything. So I don't think it's specific to manufacturing dates. I have not read anything about Huawei changing anything. I doubt those affected equal a percentage that they are even concerned about. It's unfortunate, but they are just a business. They need to protect their bottom line and that means making new phones. Not fixing/redesigning old ones without a big enough problem to do so.
