Hello everyone!
I saw lots of posts on the internet about the nexus 6P having dome sort of tint either pink or yellow. I do not know if mine does that. I mean looking at it straight it looks ok. But my problem is that at the slightest tilt of the phone the color change a bit to something a little greenish/bluish. Also at big angles the screen has a rainbow effect that i didn't notice on a s6 edge, for example.
I do not know if this is normal. It is a bit annoying because having the google keyboard which is a greyish color when i tilt it a bit it gets a little greenish. Is that normal? What should I do? I checked the manufacturing date and it is in Octomber.
The model is a 32GB Graphite.
Best regards!
Anyone?
That's amoled screens for you
It looks kinda weird. I checked with a friend's s6 edge and we t does not act like this. Mine is like...white...tilt it right greenish...tilt it left...greenish....tilt it a lot on either side...rainbow. Is an amoled screen supposed to do this?
Yes I bet your friends s6 edge has it to some extent or in a different colour. I've has 4 s6 phones 2 tab s 10.5 and 1 tab s2. They all have it to a certain extent. Some worse than others but a slight tint is the best your going to get
I have the same issue too on my 6P! And I also happen to own an S6 edge, just like you've mentioned, the Samsung phone had no color shifting. I don't really think an AMOLED is supposed to do this.

I love my 6P...i just thing the screen is not that excellent. Should I ask for s replacement? Just tuping this and moving my fingers on the keyboard I can see the color of the keyboard shifting...this is annoying
I think you should ask for a replacement. My unit seems to be not as bad as yours. I only get that color shifting at higher viewing angles.
I think your obsessing and looking at it too much try another one

I noticed it on mine immediately. I had an s3 and it never happened on that so I'm not sure you can blame it on amoled. Also, it was so bad in mine, it took away any advantage of having amoled screen. It was worse than any lcd screen I had in recent years. I returned and got a refund.
Too bad, 6P is a great phone.

We all know that the Galaxy S6 will sport a QHD Super AMOLED display just like the Galaxy S5 LTE-A and Galaxy Note 4 before it. But the question remains, will this be the second generation of Super AMOLED QHD displays that they're employing? Meaning they would be more brighter, energy efficient and possibly color accurate over the ones in the S5/N4?
After all, they shrunk down the battery capacity for a thinner body and made it non-removable for a more premium unibody. So the optimization compensation has to come from somewhere, right? And between the Galaxy and Note releases, they've always improved on the display technology in some way. Let's all post updates as more information leaks over time.
Definitely will be much improved over S5, I think everything points to this being brand new tech, although the Note 4's screen was so exceptional that no one has complained of its quality, so even if the same one, it should be perfect. That said, I estill expected an updated panel since they had to make a new one to match the size anyway
I have Note 4. The screen is AMAZING. I don't know what could Samsung improve really.
It has a small problem though - it changes color very slightly at even the slightest angle, which might be the deal breaker for some (for me it's OK for a phone, would hate it on a TV though). It might be interesting to see if S6 has the same problem.

I'd like to see AMOLED screens hit at least 400 cm/nits of brightness when displaying content with 100% white average. Right now the best the Note 4 can do in that situation is 340 cm/nits. That's why I hope this S6 panel is an improvement and not just taken from the Note 4. Now that TouchWiz uses more white backgrounds, it won't be as energy efficient over the long term for having the display on and I certainly would like whites to look more white with better brightness on Average Picture Level
The white are very bad in amoleds

Can't wait to see how it's doing under direct sunlight with the Edge
AM I the only person who thought the Note 4's display looked somewhat grainy? That and I often found a few models to have pinkish screens.

They went from being inaccurately calibrated with yellow or green tints to being more proper on white point. They (QHD displays) display whites more accurately than most of the high-end LCD panels. The problem is, they don't look as good because they can't get very bright due to hardware limitations at the moment. AMOLED is still a premature technology that has improved tremendously in a few short years on the market, but more efficiency needs to be tuned in.
I prefer 1080p as all my videos are in that resolution. It's going to look worse upscaled in this. Also, not sure if eyes can even notice a difference on a phone call.

Short of pressing your face up against the screen and trying to look for flaws, it won't look any worse. 1080p is too many pixels for a 5" screen as it is. QHD is pure overkill.

My point is I prefee it to display videos at native resolution.
Then I guess the S6 isn't for you. Lucky there are other options that are FHD still.
Improve the white coulor its really bad.
People always think they can't do better but still, they always do, they always manage to find a way to improve the technology.
Colour accuracy on the S6 doesn't seem to be as good as the Note 4 but the maximum brightness on the S6 should be a lot brighter than N4 (Samsung claims max 600 nits).
This data is for the edge, but I would think the S6 would be similar.

I agree it could be, as well it could be that the testing application isn't compatible yet with the new hardware? Anyways I tested a similar application with my Nexus 6 and I get responsiveness right to the edge. I sure would like to know the application he was using. I would also like to see this test on the s6 edge as well. I'm hoping this isn't a major issue as I have pre-ordered both the s6 and s6 edge.

Hello
I Received my 6p and Iove everything except the viewing angles. when I view whites at any angle other than straight on it has a blue tint.
Is this normal and is anyone else experiencing this?
Any other display issues I should look for?

It is not normal to view the screen the way you do. Yeah look for any kinds of defects and let us know. Or search may be.
Almost all AMOLED screens have this color shift. I had it on my Lumia Icon/930 and now on the Nexus 6P.
Yes unfortunately it seems to be normal. It happens on mine as well. I RMA'd one unit because it was bothering me so much. The replacement isn't much better and probably wasn't worth the trouble of resetting up my phone. But if you search the Internet about this issue it varies screen to screen and there are apparently some that don't do this except for at extreme angles. I wasn't lucky twice and I'm not about to try a 3rd time.. I'll just hopefully get used to it. This is literally the only thing that bothers me about this phone. I absolutely love it otherwise.
It is weird I don't remember noticing this when I had a Galaxy S3 back a few years ago though...
It's pretty distracting especially when posting on forums which the majority use a white theme. It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't color shift so easily. It literally changed colors the entire time I wrote this because of the slight angle changes my fingers caused while typing

Mine is fine. Yours is defective probably.
Ugh... I wish there was a place to see other 6pp in person to compare. I've seen my friends S6 and his screen only shifts at extreme angles.
Maybe I'm being too picky. I wish there was a store where I could compare another 6p in person.

If you are noticing it that much then you probably have a defective panel. Mine doesn't do this, in fact I think the panel is a thing of beauty. Sure next to my calibrated Z3 and iPhone 6 Plus, the hue is off white the whole time, even straight on. Move the other two phones aside and you don't notice it at all! Bring the other two in and suddenly, in the Fallout trailer, I can see more vibrant colors, crisper details and a larger picture with better sound than both. I reckon your's is a defective unit since just typing is showing color shifts that are glaringly annoying you.
Hello guys...I think my nexus 6P has pretty bad viweing angles. It is exactly...and I mean exactly like in this video.
http ://youtu.be/XhEC4dE5XHg
Is it normal for amoled screens? Is yours the same? What should I do? I love this phone...but this is concerning me. I am waiting for your answers as I do not know if I should Return this one and ask for a new one.
Update 1: do you think a tempered glass protector will make a difference? I am about to apply one but if my unit is defective Ivwill wait until I exchange it
The viewing angles for me are crap. If I tilt it upwards the screen goes completely pink/purple. Left and right give a rainbow tint. I don't notice it 95% of the time though

Do you think this is like a common thing? Or are we unlucky and most of the screens are better? It also pisses me off a little...otherwise i love the phone...but idk if I should ask for a replacement or not. I might also get a screen with a worst effect so that is why I am scard.
I think all screens are the same. Samsung kept the 100% ones and gave Huawei the 2. choice samples. If you use a higher brightness, it´s not really that bad. I´ve seen worse screens eg. in a Samsung Galaxy SIII where you could spot the glue marks..

Funny enough i am coming from an s3 and had no problems with the screen on that one. I had to choose between the 6P and the s6 edge plus....and i chose the 6P cuz I saw that the edge plus had a really loose home button and I didn't want that. I still want the 6P more...i just really fell in love with it...but I do not know if I should try and rma it...
Is your also the same?
It's very common. There are several threads on here about it, lots of people affected and some having to return their phones 4 or 5 times to get one they are reasonable happy with.
Mine was really bad especially at angles. I returned for a refund. I couldn't be bothered to return it multiple times. Also I was annoyed that Google was ignoring my emails about it.

I really do not know what to do...also...if I should try another 6P or not...I am kinda afraid cuz at over 60% brighteness...my whites are actually whites instead of the pinkish whites i saw on this forum...at 100% even with adaptive they look really good. I am afraid I will get a unit with really bad uneven screen. I will try and post some pictures in a bit
It's frustrating. Like you I had an s3 and the screen on that was great. It didn't have bad whites or bad viewing angles and that was years ago

I have the exact same feel! What would you do?
You might get used to the screen, don´t worry The Nexus 5 ( 2013 ) had a different type of screen where you could see the digitizer matrix if you looked close enough I´m happy with my Nexus 6p though it´s slightly warped now. The phone is great but not very sturdy from a mechanical point of view.

What do you mean when you say "warped" ?
I will post shortly some photos of the screen. Please let me know what you think
Okay....so here are my photos
It's an amoled. I've 4 s6. 2 10.5 tab s . 8.4 tab s and now a 9.7 tab s2 and there all the same. So it's not a defect . It's only wrong if it has a very noticeable hue or is uneven in colour. if it's even and has nice whites don't risk it
It's a shame because I love this damn device besides the crappy screen angles. Any slight deviation from straight on give me a bluish hue. Sad because the colors are so vibrant. I have played a bit with the saturation settings in Franco's kernel, but the color temp doesn't go high enough to tame the warm whites as much as I want. Just got my phone this past Monday and am still on the fence about an RMA. I just got the phone running where I want on CATA with Franco.

Okay guys...this is my screen. The brighteness was at less than 50 and more than 70. Most of the shots were taken with adaptive brighteness on. The photos where the screen is really bright were taken with adaptive off and brighteness at around 90%
What do you think, should I try to replace it with a new one or do you think the screen is good enaugh? Would you keep it?

That's looks like a good screen to me. Very uniform. Keep it . I would be chuffed if mine was like that. I think we become obsessed when first coming from Lcd or Ips screens but our eyes adjust and we end up realising that we have a good amoled or not. that comparable to the whites on my Samsung S6. And it took me 4 s6 phones to get a screen this good
Thanks a lot for your reply! You made me smile a little and feel better about it . When you say "that comparable to the whites on my Samsung S6." you mean that you compared my screen to your s6 or? I also think the screen looks kinda okay...getting just a little pink when I change the viewing angle...and then green if I move it a bit more. That's why I am saying I think the viewing angles are the ones bothering me. my screen also gets kinda pink...but when I get the brightenes all the way down and I am in adaptive mode. does that also happen on yours?
I'm shocked to see no one mentioning this, I can only think of Erica griffin's review for the s6 edge.... the s6 edge had the same issue and unfortunately the s7 edge has it too :crying: , the display has one fatal flaw in my opinion , there's very visible color shifting on the "edges" you can see very visible blue lines on the each side of the display, where the glass is curved , it's VERY apparent on every app with a white bakcground like the browser, calendar, messaging app :crying:
Doesn't it bother you? For me it's an absolute deal breaker :crying:

Curved glass will always reflact light. Light changes direction, leading to a change in color due to the change in waveform.

The think is I really like phablets , I have a nexus 6p currently and I don't want to wait for the Galaxy Note 5 , the s7 edge specs are already perfect, perfect size, I hate that I obsess about certain things, but I cannot unsee that color shifting
I don't know why are you calling it a fatal flaw, maybe you don't like it, but it's not a flaw, stop trying getting attention,buy another flawless phone so now you know why nobody is talking about it,the problem is in your head sorry
What color shifting?
I think you're seeing things.
Like others have said, it's physics.
Plus Erica Griffin's nit picking has become more annoying than informative. I stopped following her a long time ago.

Wait, are we talking about the slight "blue" on the sides caused by the fact that on each side it is tapered? Ummm, that isn't a flaw, it's physics like many have stated here. I nit pick over many things (I packed up and returned three 65" UHD TV'S in 2 weeks over "minor" issues.) and I can't understand the point of this thread. It is not a color that is displayed or "lines", it is there because the shape of the screen changes so obviously so would the appearance of anything being displayed on the edges. Wait, does the OP even own one? Pretty sure the solution in not getting an edge variant.

Relax. Erica has relented and even called it a "feature" in one of her vids. She has accepted it...I hope you find the will to accept it also. Stay strong.
I didnt notice the blue lines till reading this thread. You have to look close to see them. Not a deal breaker screen is still gorgeous.
Erica needs to use devices to tell you how good the screen is I use my eyes. She's always nit picked on previous amoled pentile screens even tho the only way to tell it was a pentile screen was using a magnifying glass!! Most people including her said amoled screens are the best especially when comparing side by side to other phones but she still complained about something that isn't visible with the naked eye. As for the s7 edge.. It's a curved screen.. If you think the curve is a flaw you should get the s7. The curv will always have that "flaw" when the phone is looked at from a certain angle.
S7 has the best display of any phone. Measured. By a professional:
http://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_S7_ShootOut_1.htm
Due to the way the glass/touch-lamination is done and due to the polarization filter, ALL phones so far show some shifting when viewed at an angle.
Regardless, S7 has the best display right now that money can buy.
You can always opt for a crappier display, like the one on iPhone (tested inferior).

Hi @all
is it normal to have a perfectly white display when looking straight at it and to have a slight reddish veil while tilting it? And is it normal that Amoled Cinema and Amoled Photo Mode are a lot more reddish than adaptive mode?
I am on my third Galaxy S8 now. My first one had a perfect display, even when tilting it had the standard blueish color of the Amoled Displays. Had to send it back because of a hardware issue.
My second and third one have the above mentioned "problems".
How is it on your device? I'm already thinking of returning even this one... i want a perfect display for the price I am paying.
Thanks for your reply.

It's not an issue of being standard on oled displays. The blue tint is to produce a "vivid" look that catches the eye better.
Cinema and photo are suppose to have a warmer tint to match real life viewing. (because in real life, things have a warm tint) from the sun, and standard lighting.

It doesn't make me go nuts either but I know how perfect the display of my first S8 was

It's not an issue of being standard on oled displays. The blue tint is to produce a "vivid" look that catches the eye better.
Cinema and photo are suppose to have a warmer tint to match real life viewing. (because in real life, things have a warm tint) from the sun, and standard lighting.

So is it normal that cinema and photo mode are more "reddish" than standard adaptive mode? I never tried those modes on my old S7 so I don't have any comparison.
@Duskfall89 i know how you feel. i can also verify that mine has a red veil when switching from cinema/photo/adaptive. Regardless, i think i can live with it. After going through the forums, many s8s are plagued with this issue and i got mine on Monday mind you! Others have mentioned that they have swapped around 3-4 units with most experiencing similar redness. If you're not satisfied, there are also who have swapped till they got the least red display unit but that would also run the risk having other parts that come faulty.. alas, people are never satisfied. I once swapped 3 msoft surfaces.

Yes, it's a lottery I guess...
I think I will stick with it, it really doesn't bother me too much, it's more about the fact that i know how my first S8 looked.
Amazon won't replace it anymore because it's the third phone I'd send back and so they want to check their entire stock. They offered me a complete cashback if I return it but then I would be without a phone. I could give it back, take my cash and then buy another one (which is now much cheaper than the price I paid at launch) but I am tired of setting up phones now

Yessir. They use a warm base as opposed to a cool base. If you really want to learn more about it Google TV color calibration and it will go into detail about why they use a "cool" blue tint for floor and selling and how true natural colors are more "warm" reddish
Then I recommend calibrating your TV and after a day of adjusting, you'll never want to go back.
Also, blue filter in the Phone settings will add a warm tint at night to help your eyes
@Acoustichayes good info !!! i guess i wont be so worried! but i guess the only issues here is that my reddish areas are focused at the top of the display and is not uniform across.

Thank yah. And the red tint on the top was apparently a software issue that was fixed in an update. There's a thread on it here somewhere. Just make sure your phone is updated

Hi @all
is it normal to have a perfectly white display when looking straight at it and to have a slight reddish veil while tilting it? And is it normal that Amoled Cinema and Amoled Photo Mode are a lot more reddish than adaptive mode?
I am on my third Galaxy S8 now. My first one had a perfect display, even when tilting it had the standard blueish color of the Amoled Displays. Had to send it back because of a hardware issue.
My second and third one have the above mentioned "problems".
How is it on your device? I'm already thinking of returning even this one... i want a perfect display for the price I am paying.
Thanks for your reply.

I had the same case but cannot really consider it as an issue as sometimes, i cannot barely see it. It's just the way it is. Also, you might wanna check out wider color gamut. i think that we're just used to the "blueish" as it looks natural but samsung uses deep red this time.

Hi, what do you mean with "had" the same case? did you get rid of it?
I got used to it now and it really isn't an issue but I'd prefer the "blueish" tint as my first S8 had that. Sadly it had the home button bug so I returned it.

Ok then it's the same as mine I could be make it more white if I'd play around with the colors but even then, while tilting the reddish veil still remains. Less noticeable but it's still there. So I decided to leave it as it was out of the box. At leats my home button now seems to work properly :laugh::laugh:
