[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] satishp:
Till now, I was under the impression that Sharp was the only supplier of the display on the Mix. But thanks to [MENTION=289577]wu5262[/MENTION], I've learnt that that Xiaomi has also used AU Optronics as a supplier for the display.

From the images, it looks as if the AUO screen has a cooler color temperature compared to the Sharp panel which looks warmer next to the AUO display. While I don't notice a big difference in colors or contrast from the images, I would have preferred to have that AUO display solely because I prefer displays which have a cool color temperature.

At least, the screen on my mix doesn't look warmer than the displays on my other devices. So it doesn't bother me that much. As I haven't seen a device with an AUO display, I can only comment on the Sharp panel. Even though it looks warmer in the photos below, it looks uniform and does not exhibit issues common with TFT panels like backlight bleeding or IPS glow. If you look at reviews of the LG V20 or HTC 10, both using IPS panels, you'll see that both the devices exhibit some amount of backlight bleeding.

So, as far as quality between the Sharp and AUO panel is concerned, I wouldn't say that one appears to be of a higher quality than the other. Though, this is one of those rare times when I've seen Sharp appear warmer than an AUO panel.

If anyone owned the Mi Pad, the AUO display was too yellow compared to the decent Sharp panel. At least thats not the case here.

I guess preference for warmer vs. cooler display varies from user to user. I prefer displays on the cooler side while some may hate the blueish tint and want a warmer display.

Which display panel does your Mix have? Would you have preferred one over the other? Comment below! :)

You can check this by using AIDA64 or going to Settings» About and tapping on kernel version a few times until the CIT interface loads.

In CIT, select Version info and scroll down to LCM Info.

You will see either Sharp fte716 or AUO fte716

Both displays are good. So there isnt anything to worry when you're buying. This thread isn't meant to show that one is better than the other. Its just to show that the AUO is factory calibrated to have a cooler (blueish) color temperature whereas the Sharp is slightly warmer compared to the AUO.

Please see the difference for yourself. Source : Link (Credits to [MENTION=289577]wu5262[/MENTION])

The Sharp fte716 is on the left and the AUO fte716 is the one on the right.

As you can see, even while using the calibration settings, the AUO still appears cooler than the Sharp panel.

Side by side comparison with my Galaxy Note 4. As you can see, the display on the Mix has excellent contrast and colors for an IPS panel and you don't have to worry too much if you're coming from a QHD or AMOLED panel

AMOLED vs IPS! ;) But I feel the Sharp display on my Mix compares well with the QHD AMOLED on my Note 4. What do you think?

The Sharp display doesn't look any warmer than the displays on my other devices like my XPS 15 or my tablets and monitors. The AUO may have a blueish tint which is why it appears cooler in the images.

This leads me to believe that Sharp has a better calibrated display as I don't feel that the display is yellowish in real usage scenarios.

While I can live with the Sharp panel, I would be devastated if I happen to see a Mi Mix using Sony or ISOCELL camera sensors! :o
