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.
Coming from Iphone - Galaxy S7 Edge AT&T Snapdragon: Quite warm and Yellowish White
Hey,
I have the AT&T Snapdragon Galaxy S7 Edge. I come from the Iphone 6S Plus.
One thing I just want to ask the community:
The S7Edge gets quite warm. I am not saying it gets brutally hot (only in Gear VR it does). But even with normal tasks it definitely gets warm very quick. And that is quite annoying to be honest. I come from the Iphone which only gets this warm when I leave it out in the open on a hot summer day. Within 5 minutes of use of the Galaxy S7Edge it immediately gets noticeably warm. Is this normal? Because the Iphone simply stays nicely cold.
Does your S7Edge phone always get warm? Or does it stay cold like the Iphone? Maybe it is a problem with the AT&T version?
Second Point is that the whites on the screen have a yellowish tint. Maybe not noticeable on its own but if I put my Iphone next to it, you clearly see a nice snow white in the iphone and a yellowish tint in the S7Edge (multiple birghtness levels tested). If I take a pic of a white wall in my room it is really noticeable. Is there a way to change the color temperature?
This could be a deal breaker for me.
What are your thoughts?
Thank you

Because iPhone has a way off white. The white of it is about 7000 which is blue not white and you already get used to it because almost every apple device tend to make color like that to be so called visually appealing at first sight. Just relax and enjoy the almost perfect white on Galaxy s7 is accurate and better for your eyes. However you can change color range and white point in setting under display mode. If you still feel bad just to check displaymate site and check out their phone display review. See how much Galaxy s7 is better than iPhone one this category
What's interesting is that iOS (I'm coming from iPhone too) is updating 9.3 software to give you night mode where you can tint the screen to a warmer color at night because it's so much better for your eyes.

There are many free apps available on the Play Store that offer this function. I personally use "Bluelight Color Filter" although you can set any colour to reduce glare. It works great at night when you are reading in bed.
Well done for leaving iOS by the way, welcome to the amazing world of Android!
.
I don't have my S7 Edge on my hands yet, but I have noticed that all Samsung phones look yelowish when you compare with other phones, even with my alternative Moto G 2013, it looks super white and my S6 Edge+ looks yellow when I put them together. But when it comes to colors the S6 is much richer than any other phone I see with super white screen, so I guess the LCD screens look very white because of the light source they use and the AMOLEDs handle the colors better.
You can find some apps to change the screen temperature, 6500K is the perfect white to me.

You seem like a troll to me. Sorry if your not but I have the edge (although the exynos version) but the screen is about as perfect as it gets it probably your iPhone that is totally off! Also the "heat" is really non existing on normal to high usage so either your a troll or you have a lemon device. End.
At the moment, I have both devices. Having used the S7 Edge since the release, yesterday I switched to the S7. In shifting back to the S7 Edge just now, I noticed the two device's displays are quite different.
The S7 clearly has more saturated colors and looks far brighter. The S7 Edge, in comparison, looks slightly more dull when side by side.
For reference, I tested both devices in the same conditions. That is to say the S7 and S7 Edge with automatic brightness disabled and pushed up to maximum manual brightness. Also I tested both in a darker room. For reference both were set to AMOLED Cinema.
Unfortunately even when the automatic brightness is turned back on, it's clear the S7 still looks more vibrant.
Can anyone explain what's going on here? Is it simply that the Edge looks like it has a lesser screen because of the larger size and thereby lower pixel density. Or is it something about the panels themselves and thus the S7 that I have now just happened to get a better panel than the Edge.
Any thoughts or answers would be appreciated.
Displaymate tested them and stated that they are practically identical in terms of performance: http://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_S7_ShootOut_1.htm. Any chance you can test out against another Edge?

Actually no, unfortunately. Neither device has been released in Japan yet. Both of the ones I have are imported.
The thing is lot more complicated...
Each S7 Edge has different display quality! When you put 2 S7 Edge Side by Side and compare, you will see that the displays have different tint (mostly yellow), and more worse: a lot of the displays are not homogeneous. that means that one corner or side is brighter then the rest of the display.
i wrote a few threads regarding this, i also sent a message to displaymate (because they test "cherry-picked" devices, and do not mention this), see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/note4-amoled-screen-quality-t2906365
basically i do think that the s7 screen is better, due to the Edge screen is P-AMOLED to be flexible! but the differences between otherwise identical devices are really huge!
i ordered my 5th device today, because all of them had flaws:
1st: display not good compared to second device
2nd: the device i use now. very good viewing angles and no tint, BUT: left side of display is darker then right side
3rd: display strong yellow tint
4th: display almost good, slight yellow tint. would take this, BUT: front cam takes blurry pictures compared to other devices...
5th: ordered today!
you may think i'm a hypocrite or have OCD, but it makes me mad that a 800EUR device has such flaws!!!
The s7 has more PPI due to smaller screen than edge

Or, you know, maybe you're looking for a flaw that's not there? It's a well known fact by now that a bend in a display, like the Edge, will have some shifts in brightness, tint and contrast, especially right in that bend! If this is something that annoys you, then I'd recommend you stick with flat panels from now on, because this won't be "fixed" for awhile. It's just the way it is.
Also, you do not have OCD.
"Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a common, chronic and long-lasting disorder in which a person has uncontrollable, reoccurring thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors (compulsions) that he or she feels the urge to repeat over and over."
If you turn the screen on and off 30 times before you can make a call, you have OCD. If you have to knock your door five times each time you come home, you have OCD. If you think the smartphone's screen is the wrong hue, that's not OCD, that's just being picky.

I think you're being a tad bit OCD. At the end of the day, the S7 might have a slightly better display than the S7E but the screen size and battery size make the S7E better for me personally. If you're looking for a slightly better looking display then maybe you'd be happier with the S7.

Thx for the medical and display-tech lecture, I'm a university lecturer (engineering and physics) myself!
1) Display quality: You did not read my post, or my linked thread regarding note4! The display of note4 was not curved, and had the same problems as all of samsungs amoled devices before: When you compare 10 devices side by side, you will see that each and every device has different screen tone, uniformity, ... About 2 out of 10 I would consider "good", all other have flaws such as a not uniform brightness distribution (one side of the screen is darker then the other side), or bad viewing angles.
this is NOT a problem which every device has, as I always found one device in the past which was "OK" after exchanging a few times.
same happened last week and today: last week i got a device with a really nice screen, but the front cam took blurry pictures compared to the other S7E devices I have in front of me. this can be easily reproduced, so the cam or lens has a problem the other devices do not have.
the device i got today has the best screen so far (good and even white distribution, good viewing angles), the front cam is ok (a bit less sharp pictures then my reference device, but WAY sharper as from the last weeks device), but there is a scuff on the top metal frame of the display, between the glass and the metal. this is no dust particle, it is a real scuff. :| i will test the rear-cam as well, if it is ok i will stay with this device, as the scuff is not nice, but a minor issue compared to the display faults of the other devices.
also, i showed the different displays of all my S7E devices to friends and colleagues (because they thought i'm crazy because of my exchanges), and all of them see the display faults as well. you need to have devices for comparison, then you will notice how bad some screens are compared to others!
so no need to go for an other device as the S7E, because there ARE good ones existing. but you have to be lucky to get one...
on the OCD: this was half ironic, because i know that OCD really is.

I did.... not read that Note 4 thread, and I did (clearly not) understand what you said (blame the beers I had), but alright, I do understand what you're saying now, and yeah, there is a slight difference in each panel, and some will get a slightly better panel than the other one. That happens with every screen out there, including LCDs, and viewing angles are also something that gets affected, but I have the impression that this is more of an issue with LCDs.
I would keep swapping it until I got a good panel, so keep doing what you're doing until you get tired or hit the jackpot. The screen is rated as the best smartphone screen ever, so I promise you it should look amazing. The issues you're experiencing is very common though, and must be somewhat expected when we are early adopters. These are typical issues that Samsung will weed out with time.
I saw a strange think on S7E: the 2 sides of the screen have grey shadow area if you looking at it in a dark room with low brightness of course...is that normal?
My is perfect :sly:

I saw other phones and talked to other S7E owners, and they see this grey halo too, when the brightness is low and the environment really dark. Do you think that it is a problem of my screen?
Today when I was holding both my Nexus 6P and Galaxy S7 Edge side by side, I noticed the 6P whites looked significantly more yellowy compared to the S7. I know that the displays weren't that different when I first got them. So I confirmed my S7 was still on the default display settings and the 6P doesn't have any color settings (besides the sRGB color switch in developer settings, which was off). So I knew something was wrong.
I opened a blank Google Doc on both phones. So it was completely fair using the same app to compare. Then just by chance I noticed when the black nav bar at the bottom was recessed, the display was a good bit whiter at that bottom stip than the rest of the display. I looked even closer and noticed the nav buttons were slightly burned in too.
The nav buttons slightly burned in did not really surprise me much and does not bother me much. Especially since its barely noticeable right now and the nav bar covers it 90% of the time. My main concern and disappointment is that this proved my display has Yellowed over only about 1 year of use. I've had my 6P since November 2015 release, but only used it about 9-11 months since I use my S7 edge instead sometimes too.
Is anyone else with a 1+ year old 6P having their display getting yellowish too? Im trying to figure out if this yellowish tint is just just bad luck with mine, or if its happening to all 6P's.
See attached image. Its kind of hard to make out in the picture but it shows the whiter strip at the bottom.
I see the strip at the bottom, but I haven't had any issues myself with any sort of yellowing or discoloration of the screen. I've had my phone about a year now and bought from a seller on Craigslist.

Yep mine is significantly more yellow then when i first got it. Its burn in. (or as im to understand the screen is wearing out or something like that) My nav bar icons and status bar icons are burned in. And the burned in icons are the same color as my yellow screen.

Thanks! I did some research and i can find people complaining about the yellowish with in a couple months getting the phone or right when they got the phone. But nothing from people reporting it getting more yellow over time.
It seems like these amoled displays huawei used aren't very good quality if they can't maintain their color for at least 2 years. Of course the nav button burn in is expected, but having the color change yellowish after only several months of use is unacceptable. If my Samsung amoled display maintains its color for about 2 years (its almost been a year so far), then that proves its not exactly a fault of the amoled technology, but proves Huawei had a poor quality display.
If my Samsung display doesn't last 2 years either, then I might go for IPS display next time. The color accuracy has gotten a lot bettrr on them over the past years and not as washed out in color as they used to be.

I don't have any problem with my N6P display, at least not moticeable. I also use an immersive mod, so no navbar/notification bar burn in. Also using black theme. Don't know it it helps... I had the problem on my Galaxy SII a long time ago. I've already seen a lot of people complaining about the issue and if you Google it, it's a common issue with AMOLED.
Also the N6P display is a Samsung. Maybe they sold Huawei a defective serie?
Are you completely stock?
It happens on every screen regardless of the tech. Some just get it quicker than others depending on usage.
This screen does look more yellow then my iPhone or my s6 did, but it's still a great screen imo
Hi, can't remember the last time I needed any help with a phone till now.
I used to love the old Sony Ericsson Walkman phones, then went to Motorola's, and my current phone is a Moto X Play that my contract is almost up on. It's getting old, beat up, and slow.
As I've been looking for a new phone the LG G6 and V30 have really jumped out at me. As I know nothing of the LG brand I've tried to look up as much information as possible about these two models. The same concern has me worried on both models, and that being the screen quality.
On one hand you have the LG G6 which has an LCD screen which appears to still have a lot of image retention issues. So while these may go away I don't think I could live with the issue.
On the other hand, the V30 has an OLED screen which are prone to burn in, degradation over a shorter period of time.
After all my ramblings, my question is this...
How wide spread are the issues with LG LCD screens image retentions, and are the LG P-OLED screens that fragile that I have to be careful not to use it very often?
I've seen both in person, and the demo models both look great. Originally I was going for the V30, but the Pixel 2 issues, and inherent OLED issues got me thinking of the G6 only to find out issues about it as well.
I would need to take out a contact for either phone so I would be committed to a 2 year policy with either one, strangely for the same cost.
Any opinions and help would be greatly appreciated.
LG G6 screen is perfect, I haven't had any problems with image retention in the 8 months I have used this phone. The only bad review of the screen is sometimes the bright is not enough outside when the sun hits the display. But the quality of the colours, resolution, etc its perfect in my opinion.
No issues whatsoever with G6 screen. I am comming from OLED in my last 5 smartphones so I can do an informed comparison. No retention, black level is acceptable (of course not AMOLED level), perfect colors and clarity. Perhaps a bit more brightness could help in a very sunny environment. Cannot comment on V30 though.
For me G6's display is finally something I was looking for for a very, very long time... colors are vivid but not overly, contrast could be better but it's not bad, however as mprovi_15 stated - the display could have better brightness as there were some moments when even 100% in direct sun was not enough.
Also I wish it was a little more battery friendly. It's not bad, I usually get 4,5-5hrs SoT but still OLED screens drain less energy.
No word on V30's display, I've seen it only once in the market on demo unit but it seemed really nice. However there are numerous reports of users having various problems with it, just google "LG V30 display issue".
Thanks for the insight. Good to hear that there are at least a few happy G6 owners. I've seen the screens in person, though I wasn't able to go through and test them in low light, or at low brightness settings, both looked great. Yeah the V30 looked better, but it was an OLED so I did expect.
I've just finished reading a 67 page thread about the V30 issues, but similarly there are also a few about the screen retention on the G6. It would even seem the more I look into it almost every manufacturer seems to have the issue to some extent.
I have an LG G5, which I think has the same display as the G6. I have to admit, I was worried when I first came across the image retention problem! I thought my phone was faulty or something. But you can get used to it. There is also a solution for it. I am rooted and using EX kernel manager, and it has a display control section. I found out if I set red, green and blue from the default 256 value to ~246, it pretty much solves the issue. So if you are planning on rooting your device (which I assume you will, that is probably the reason you are on this website in the first place), then I think image retention is not an issue. By the way, my father has the G6, and have never heard a bad word about it's screen, or image retention at all.
About brightness... Do you really use your phone that much in direct sunlight? You can always cover for the screen, by turning away from the sun, thus casting shadow on it. I think this is a problem that people overdramatize.
I am not a fan of LED displays either, for the same reason as you: burn in. I'm not going to buy any LED displayed phones in the future, that's why I am very happy to hear that LG's new flagship will come with a so called MLCD+ display.
At least to begin with I do like to keep my phones stock. I normally only root or modify them if there is a reason to.
For this very issue I decided to grab my old Galaxy S2 and see what the screen looked like as it's an AMOLED. Back then I was a bit naive about what the screens were. Let me tell you it didn't age well, and the screen looks horrible. Obviously the newer LED screens with better resolution will look a lot better, but if they age similar to my S2, I wouldn't want anything to do with them. Even worse yet if they are poor quality to begin with. I still remember the old CRT burn in and how horrible the screens got on those. It's a definite positive for the G6 as it's still LCD, which in part gives me a bit of a shock that the image retention would even be an issue.
Considering that both the V30 and G6 are the same cost on contract, I may wait to at least see what the G7 has to offer. As the tech seems to get more complex, so do the issues encountered.
I can personally tell you this, I've had both the g6 and the v30 sold the v30. Here's why the v30 is EPIC beautiful phone WAY better bluetooth quality that's for DAMN sure. The speaker quality and mic quality were mich better also. The screen 100% looks worth the $$ for sure. It's faster for sure also. The screen just feels better to touch and to view. I used them both side by side for about 30 days. I kept the g6 cause it feels better in hand. I have "average" sized hands for a 5'8" male so that said the v30 with its slight curve did not feel l "safe" in my hand. I did have them both in the spigen slim armor case. Love that case on all phones. Sadly limted colors but for sure nice case. The v30 is better for netflix or extensive YouTube watching. Of course screen size wins. Let alone the daytime visibility goes to the v30. But I feel that yhe LCD of the g6 is great as well and helps keeps photos, even those taken in HDR more realistic liking the PLED of the v30 seemed to over saturate colors even after adjusting it's color settings. The v30 is the better phone. Period. I however choose to keep the g6 cause I liked the way it felt in hand and truly over all the retail value of a barely used v30 with pre installed class screen protector was well worth selling it. Another thing the v30 is VERY hard to get a nice true glass screen protector for.
AMOLED screens become greenish over time (I had Galaxy S5, S5, S6 and S7, all with amoled) and they all have some type of permanent burn in. That types of displays must degrade over some period of time and you can't avoid that. Here on my G6 no problems with the screen from day one. It is like brand new. No image retention or something similar.
I went back and checked the two units on display and did some brightness and display tests. The LG V30 failed miserably. Extreme burn in even though they had a demo mode constantly cycling images and movies, and when put at 0% the screen was very uneven, and there was enough screen flickering that I could notice it.
The G6 seems dimmer than my Moto X Play, but no screen issues noticed. The screen is roughly the same size as my old phone, though at an 18:9 ratio.
Thanks for the help, now on to find a slim case and screen protector for it.
