hello friends. i just got back to using z1 after using galaxy s4(first 1080p phone and i liked it) . then used lg optimis g ( its screen is much much better and sharper than the 1080p gs4) also used lg g3 for 2 weeks and it was better than og and s4 of course
now i got a z1 and first thing i noticed is that colors on screen lack too much contrast . now i only have my og and s4 to compare to.
compared to og :
og screen is much much more sharp
colors are more pleasing tobyhe eyes
blue is more like white on z1
black is grey
red is orange on z1
viewing photos on web and specially preview photoa from playstore is really interesting : on z1 these previews lack detail and look lower resolution just like comparing a ps3 game onbtv. then using a pc at 1080p on the same tv.
reading on the 720p og is more comfortable. viweing many web pages and read some gamarena on both. text is sharper and more comfortable to read on the og
z1 screen . white is yellowish white. no matter what whute balance i use or screen filtres i tried the og ips display is just amazing and even better than the suoer amoled s4 which has yellowish screen too.
another thing i noted is that 720p youtube videos are little blurry on z1. but on og are like 1440p
my z1 is faulty ? no i called two of my friends with z1 and z2. the z1 was same as mine but thank god the Z2 screen is muchbimprovement but sharpness was never close the og or g2 or g3.
z2 screen has more contrast than the og and colors are deeper but i dont understand is it feels like there is some kind of filter on it very slight fxaa or something.
also white is yellow on the z2 .
lg sucks making sscreens. but aony withbtheir bravua screens cant make a decent screen forbtheirbsmartphones
Z1 has tempered glass, and z1 screen is the highest ppi which is 441, so its sharper. The colors are okay its on the realistic side not like other phones that has over colored.

We have two kind of display for phones till now
LCD ( tft, ips ,q-ips,....) Xperia z, z1, zu but z1c is IPS z2, z3 are IPS too
Led ( amoled, super amoled, ....)
Please search more about dispalys
But we can tune that by custom kernels
Amoled is also TFT
An AMOLED display consists of an active matrix of OLED pixels generating light (luminescence) upon electrical activation that have been deposited or integrated onto a thin-film-transistor (TFT) array, which functions as a series of switches to control the current flowing to each individual pixel.[5]

only oled is diffrent.
An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) is a light-emitting diode (LED) in which the emissive electroluminescent layer is a film of organic compound which emits light in response to an electric current.

z1 has lcd tft tn, this is really old display
what ever screen is there, it sucks.
also i have this question if you dont mind. is it just me or the z1 is not as snappy as it used to be on kitkat amd jellybean. also ram is way too low, og has twie free ram(vodaphone rom) arround 1gb most time
The displays on Xperia devices are less color saturated than Samsung AMOLEDs . But the Z1 display is even more dull than the rest Xperia lineup. You can go to Display setting and bump up the settings on the White Balance to make it a little better. Or just use a custom kernel or tweak kernel settings. I don't think the Z1 is any slower on LP than JB or KK but yes there's definitely more heat-up and RAM issues.

You are the person "store mode" in TV's is made for: intense and wrong colors.
The only thing that is really a bit annoying about the display is that the viewing angle is on the small'ish side.

free ram is bad ram, it is not used for anything. See here
On android more specifically the more apps are kept in RAM instead of restarted every time are a good thing to save cpu time and battery.
Apart from the not-so-good viewing angles, the z1 display is pretty good for me.
Its just a matter of preference. After using devices with oled displays (which are notorious, in a good sense, for over-saturation), I think you have started to like punchy colours.
But there are people who don't like over-saturated colours (most of the time). I am one of those people. So for me, the display of z1 is really good enough.
wrong, optimus g can open up to 8 xda tabs without reloading them, but on Z1 tabs would start reloading on the 4th or 3rd tab ....
i can use g+ . fb. msger. hangout. music. playstore and few tabs on chtome without any reload.....
z1 could never do it few tabs on chrome and check google then go back to facebook, either the launcher or the fb app would reload
more free ram is never wasted
never got a home redraw
4 tabs open and 7 apps stiill open and no reload yet
acually reloading is very rare on this phone only achievable if you use chrome browser
still 360mb more free ram to play with .
sony need more lessons on how to optimise their phones
also optimus g has twice bloatware apps

Well g2 is almost the same as og tho og has more free ram
Xperia z1 compact and z3 compact are similar to z1 with about 700mb free ram
Every update we get less ram, my previous z1 on jelly bean had like 1 gb free ram

Hi
I recently bought a OnePlus3 - which has a non standard sRGB color calibration - I think it looks beautiful.
With the recent firmware update, I can turn on sRGB but then the display looks kind of dull - it actually looks dull like my S4.
Question:
Is there a hack/mod for my S4/CM13 - I can use to get more vibrant (maybe false) colors, like the ones I have on my OP3?
Galaxy S4 already uses the dynamic display mode by default, which causes colors to look extremely vibrant and saturated.
CM13 has a color calibration option.
I am not able to get WHITE on the galaxy S4 compared to OP3 - using the settings / calibration.
http://imgur.com/a/pQXg0
The OP3 on the left has brightness at 80-ish% and the S4 at 100%.
Even if I set the adaptive mode to 'Outdoor' it is still a greyish/yellow-white compared to OP3.

I know it's an old post, but you can adjust the colour temperature to get the same effect.

Hey guys,
I am going to replace my old Z3 soon . I am looking for a new phone and found this U Ultra... but I got some question:
1) Comparing The U Ultra with other actual flagships... how would you rate the camera ? Is the P10 with 20 MP better ?
2) How is the brightness ? While watching videos on YT it seems it lacks some of the Brightness
3) What about the battery life ? More Size of Screen but same Battery Life as my Z3 ? How fast is the Phone going empty ?
Hope you guys can help me out a bit here

Hey mate, please remember, that your situation may vary, so I can only give my personal experiences.
1. I havent used the P10, but I came from a pixel xl and a HTC 10 before that. I feel it is on par with Pixel in most scenarios. One area it is poorer than Pixel is in fast action shots, the U wants to always use lower ISO, with a slightly higher shutter speed than the Pixel by default, rendering nicer photos with less noise IMO, but if the subject is moving fast, it cant quite get there. This can all be fixed in Pro mode. Where the U is much better than the Pixel is in absolutely low light, and in macro.
2. Brightness, well, if you boost it to max, it will burn your retinas like any other flagship basically. I dont think its weaker than most?
3. Batt life - this will be varied depending on usage/coverage of network, etc. For reference, my network is average (the joys of living in a big country with varied geography), i have 2 push email accounts, multiple push IMs going all day, location on, BT on all day (android wear). And I get 3.5 hours SOT with 12 hours standby typically. 50-60% brightness.
When I first got the device, I was in taiwan, with better coverage, and I was getting an extra hour of SOT and standby as a result.
1) so if you had the choose the P10 or the U Ultra ... which one would u get for normal hobby photographies ?
2) Well comparing to an S7 Edge, brigtness and colors seems a bit more dull than on the S7
3) Well the U Ultra got a bigger display and also an Extra Display... I have my Z3 here which has the same battery size .... so the U Ultra has to take a bit more energy ?
---
Well I have no chance here of testing that phone .... I like the Extra Display... I like the glossy look .... Only the camera being out dat much is quite a concern...

I have not used the U Ultra or the P10, however I read this earlier today:
http://www.androidcentral.com/huawei-p10-screen-protector-oleophobic-coating
The P10 does not have an oleophobic coating on the glass under the plastic screen protector. Now that doesn't have any bearing on the camera, but I just wanted to bring it to your attention.
The selfie panoramic is amazing.
To be fair I haven't use the main camera much. Indoors around my room.
I think it's quick, good results from all modes.
Flash seems very bright. Noticed that straight away.
Only had the phone a few days and it's not my daily driver yet. Need nano sim.
I think it's better to wait for the lg g6.
The 821 snapdragon on the HTC is under clocked. Has lower battery and the camera is looks to be worse (based on some reviews) .
Hey guys i'm looking to buy a new phone (currently using the nexus 5x) and i've got my sights on the G6 or S7 Edge . The phones will be european versions so H870 and G935F . I would like to know if the G6 has any issues like bootlooping or overheating , how is the overall performance , battery life in general information of the device what you like in it and what you dislike . My personal points for upgrading are battery life coz i get a max of 3hrs sot with lets say an hour of gaming listening to music and messenger and the performance because the 5x throttles hard . Does the H870 come with anything like amp or wireless charging ?
Great hardware, ok software, very late updates
If you want screen on time I would look at Lenovo P2. 12-13 SOT, SD625 SOC, 5100Mah battery and amoled screen and over 4 days on standby for approx £225. Ok the camera is pants but everything else is great. G6 looks great but battery standby performance is rubbish. Either root it or gamble that Oreo will sort this out. S7 good phone but those bezels are sooo big and the edge is a bit of a gimmick. Have you considered Honor 9? Specs look good. I chose G6 H870DS over S7 but now wish I had bought a Lenovo P2. Good luck.

From Huawei i looked up to the P10 but i see on the xda threat that it has minor custom rom,kernel,apps community but its a viable option . Im looking for good screen on time not the best but good enough for lets say 5 hours sot that will get me easily through the day also im looking for good performance in games and the wide angle lens seems sweet.
I make 5 h SOT easy , and i had the huawei p10 plus and i can say , LG G6 has better gaming performance than the p10 plus , i run pes2018 with no problem , the huawei had very lag so i couldn't play it
The camera is desapointing , the p10 is much better ( my opinion , dont judge me )
The p10 also looks faster in everyday use , opening apps , switching apps etc...
Interesting, I own a S7 Edge (Snapdragon) and a G6, but not the models you've listed running stock. I'll point out the main stuff first for the G6 that you wanted to know:
Bootloop: Not yet, but afraid of. I bought the G6 because it was ~ 250usd!
Overheat: No overheat for my G6.
Performance: My G6 is smooth... I don't think the Exynos is better than that.
Battery: The G6 has an odd idle battery drain, heavy use is fine. I get 5~7 SOT with heavy use, but seems like no one else gets 7 hours.
Wireless Charging: Seems like only US/Canada and G6+ come with that. S7 Edge has it.
Amp: Do you mean for audio output? The G6 without quad-dac is for low impedance headphones, like very low... the Exynos S7 Edge doesn't have the same internal DAC as I have so I can't comment on that.
I think you'll get used to the G6 faster than the S7 from the Nexus 5x. The navbar, the fingerprint sensor, closer to stock android than Touchwiz... but you may want something different .
For extra stuff, read below
LG G6:
Wide-angle (but check the 2.09 vs 2.01mm lens : https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg6/comments/7gqln4/lg_g6_is_produced_with_2_versions_of_wide_angle/)
Different aspect-ratio, may see black bars for 16:9 picture/videos
FM Radio
Navigation bar
IPS Display -> Screen retention only (no nav buttons/status bar burn-in)
Power button is at the back (odd if new to LG G series)
Fingerprint at the back like the 5x
S7 Edge:
Better front and back camera
Wireless charging
Vivid screen colors and deep blacks
Screen burn-in
Custom roms from xda? it seems to have great support for your model
Rumored 3rd year of update as the rumored Oreo update for the S6
Hardware buttons, my home button has a weird click noise now.
Curved screen, this is gorgeous but I don't like to watch videos on it, especially the subtitles that goes with the curve and it is hard to get and apply a screen protector that covers the entire thing!
Anyways, hope it helps
The G6 is in my opinion a good all round phone and does most things very well. It will easily get you through the day with 5 hours SOT but will need recharging every night. I have never had any issues with the phone overheating, lagging or crashing. The phone is very well built and it’s quality is in a different league to the G5. Personally this is the best smartphone camera I have used and the wide angle lens is a useful addition. The screen and the lack of bezels are what attracted me this phone along with the fact that it cost me half the original price 3 months after its launch.
What annoys me most is the fact that LG are very slow to update with security patches and more importantly android updates. There is a well known problem with poor standby battery drain in Nougat that some other manufacturers have addressed. Losing 15-20% of battery overnight is rubbish and we are hoping Oreo might improve this. LG sell a lot less phones than Samsung or Apple and have less resources/staff to develop products and update firmware. So whilst they are sorting Oreo for th V30 and developing the G7 we might have to wait well into 2018 for a G6 Oreo update. I so hope I am wrong!

Very useful information ! I looked at the G6 because the S7 Edge is getting 2 years old in about 3 month and the G6 is basically on par with the S7 Edge for specs and i see it as ''more future proof'' than the S7 Edge because of the design and dual camera setup . My only concern is the bootloop and that i saw reviews of the G6 having inconsistent performance and getting pretty hot , also because a friend of mine has the G5 idk if the G6 is even comparable to the G5 but he had a world of trouble with it 6 months into owning it he had to sent it in for a screen replacement then a battery replacement also it fragmented his data once. All I want is a better phone than the 5x with better battery and some kind of "future proof".

Yeah I agree that the G6 looks more future proof with the design.
For the bootloop I'm not sure because I'm new to LG, I made sure to buy somewhere that LG would offer a warranty.
Your friend's case seems to be an immense trouble hahaha, he probably hates LG by now lol
Anyways, better phone overall is subjective so I can't decide for you with that , even if the 5x is from 2015.
Edit: And the batteries from both should in general be better than the 5x

You have both of them S7 and G6 what do you think about the display quality ? Brightness and colors ?
Ringanar said:

Really not sure what to tell you about that...
Both have high resolution displays (QHD and QHD+), but I think the G6 has crisper images without looking at the ppi thing. Make sure to turn on QHD (1440p) for the S7 Edge! It is FHD (1080p) by default on Nougat. Just go to Display -> Screen Resolution.
Brightness I don't know, they both seem bright enough... for anything?
The S7 Edge has a little green tint near the 2 edges (left and right). With adaptive display on, the white is more white than the LG, the black is always more black, greater contrast, The colors are saturated. You can change the settings if you find it too vibrant by going to Display -> Screen mode.
The G6 has a cold display (blue tint everywhere). Colors are less vibrant compared to the S7 Edge. If you want, you can try going to accessibility -> vision -> screen color ajustment, tap on manual and slide a bit down the circle for higher contrast. It supports HDR, but seems to be useless for me as I don't use it at all.
The red on the G6 is like the red from a regular ballpoint pen that I was not used to. On the S7 Edge the red is a little bit orange which seems to be normal? The blue and green are similar, only that the S7 Edge's color is always more vibrant/popping to my eyes.
My opinion: I really don't mind which one I use, I have seen way worse screens.
Other issues that I have seen in real life (not on mine)
S7 Edge: Pink vertical line, Burn-in on the status bar
G6 : White bleed
In the end, I think the best thing to do if you have time, is go to a shop that has the S7 Edge and the G6 as a demo, take some time to compare those 2 if you are still focused on those 2, experience with those, and then choose the one you like .
Feel free to ask more questions if you want
Side note:
Are you planning to use emulators (NDS, PSP) on your device? I find the LG's display size better for those, more space for the controls. Also, I don't feel comfortable using an OLED because the controls may damage the display...
I'm waiting for my G6 to be delivered.
I did have a Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus....which was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC on every level...battery life, performance etc....definitely beats the G6 in every way possible.
BUT, I cracked the screen on my S8...so sold it on Ebay and advertised it with the cracked screen and I had 51 bids and it soled for £400.00 !! AMAZING!
So I Bought a brand new LG G6 on Ebay for £260....lol can't fault the bargain!
Last LG I owned was the G3..which was awesome, even though the G6 screen is small compared to S8 Plkus...i'm hoping its gonna be a good phone anyway.

No problem.
Where did you find the PS2 emulator ? I tried the Nintendo Gamecube one and it wasn't great for both of my devices. PPSSPP with vulkan support works very nicely and Drastic for NDS is always good, even for lower end devices

The PS2 emulator that i found is called !Play .
Also i just watched some reviews is the dual pixel technology on the S7 Edge noticeably better than the G6's Auto focus ?

Thanks I may check that emulator out!
Better autofocus I don't know, they both focus on the right thing but what I've notice is that the S7 edge is faster at focusing. By the way, something that I forgot to mention is that the S7 can have a sony or a samsung sensor. I have the sony one.
Hi together, I just bought a SM-T500 and all in all i am happy with it. I mainly use it for webbrowsing and watching Youtube, Netflix etc.
I noticed that the colors of the display are extremely dull and washed out. Worse than my old Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000) from 2012, which should be replaced by the SM-T500. I can't really imagine that the panel used in the T500 is THAT bad. Unfortunately there are no proper display settings at all, so I am stuck with a display that looks almost like greyscale compared to other displays. (I know that the colors of an LCD are not so rich and vibrant compared to an AMOLED for example).
Is there any chance I can get around this problem with a custom rom?
I just recently learned about widevine. Does a custom rom break my widevine L1?
Thanks in advance
Is there even a custom ROM for T500?
Is there a custom ROM for T500 that fixes color temperature? Its own blue light filter acts like a bad blue light filter from the Playstore.
Check out this app, it works perfectly with root https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.omegacentauri.red&hl=en&gl=US
