The pinkish tint is not so obvious as that on the hd7, however if you were to use the default camera settings for your photographs(the settings don't save anyway) you will be able to spot a circular pinkish tint around the center of the camera as well as on your pictures.
The problem almost goes away with 'minimum' saturation but worsens with increasing saturation levels. Lowering the saturation solves the problem but produces photos that are extremely bland and washed out.
Has anyone faced this issue?
I'd like to add that both my brother and i are facing the same issues with our omnia 7s
no issues like that here
Same here, I noticed it at the first time I launched the camera on white surface, it's not so anyoing but it is a bug.. a software one I hope and it is surly be fixed in the next update.
Yep it's here. Another proof there is no such a thing as "really good mobile phone camera"

Lol don't worry htc HD2 had it too and it was fixed in the first update so I hope it will be here..
Okay so I bought a new Moto X (2014) last week In India. Everything about the phone is great. It was already on lollipop. But when I decrease the brightness to below 30-40% the display gradually becomes more and more purple. And with Adaptive Brightness on and in a dark room, it's so purple that the green and yellow shades appear grey or black. I know amoled panels have this problem at very low brightness and apparently many Nexys 6 users are also facing it. However I didn't see many complaints here in the Moto X forum.
So if you have this problem please vote in the poll above. Then I can ask them for a replacement. Thank you.
I'd later add some photos of the screen.
P.S. If you are experiencing this, please add some photos so that people can compare it with their displays.
ok i have this problem too, but when I'm in the bed and reading random news this purple display isn't disturbing me. i can feel it relax more my eyes. so i can say i take advantage from a bug
I don't think this is a bug, way easier on the eyes in the dark, perhaps some kind of a feature on AMOLED and Lollipop. The Nexus 6 has it, too, i think.
I don't know if anyone else noticed that in direct sun light, the screen goes extra bright - like indoor bright + boost?
This is not a feature. It's an issue with amoled displays. That's why Samsung limits the lowest brightness to a higher level. While Moto X seems to go way down. I just want to know if everyone's having this. Then it's okay. But if it's not everyone then there're some good amoled panels out there and we are getting the bad ones.
Yup, keep noticing this before the screen goes completely off.
It's not a "bug" with AMOLED displays, it's inherent to the way the displays work. Red LEDs use much less power than other colors so when the brightness is down low the displays looks like it has a slightly red tint to it. While Samsung does keep their best displays for themselves the lack of a red tint is not due to that but is instead due to not letting the brightness go as low on their displays.

That's what I meant. Not quite the best choice of word, I guess. But if that was the case, everyone should have had the pink tint at low brightness. Do you mean the ones who are not getting it are either lying or have Moto X's with LCD panels?

Well, only 2 out of 11 people have reported no color distortion. And remember that while you're asking "Is there a purple tint?" they're answering the question "Have you noticed a purple tint?"
What I've noticed is that when Adaptive Brightness is on, the display gets super dark and causes the purple tint. When I turn Adaptive Brightness off in a dark room, it actually completely loses the purple tint, and compared to my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 at lowest brightness, the screen is brighter than the Tab S. So I guess Motorola hasn't caught up with Samsung's display technology since my Tab S can actually get dimmer without such a dramatic color distortion - for my Moto X to get to a brightness level that dim, I need to turn on Adaptive Brightness (thus with the purple tint).
.
I wouldn't say it gets a Purple tint but rather a reddish one with adaptive light.
And I LOVE it. This way I don't have to install Lumen.CF or any other stuff. Way easier on the eyes at night and it gets reeeeeeaally dark. Just perfect!
I also love that it naturally has a lower white temperature point than other lcd/phones screens. Warmer white is cozy white.
7 votes for without purple/red tint.
People who are not seeing the tint, can you please upload a side by side photo of "your phone at lowest brightness with the adjustment bar visible" and "a white paper".

I voted for no color distortion as my display is very very good. I can tell you there is certainly a variation in displays. A few months back someone posted about being able to see color banding and such. Those of us with really good displays do not see that. I was going to order a Pure edition to replace my unlocked XT1097 but the display is so good on it I decided not to, I doubt another one will be as good. I had 5 different Moto X 2013 models and the displays varied on each of them as well. I kept the best one and my 2014 model is still quite a bit better then the best 2013 I had.

The rest of the phone in my case feels pretty solid and well built. Also I'm getting 47k+ scores on Antutu. Hence I am having second thoughts about getting it replaced.
My PE doesn't turn purple and has better whites than my AT&T branded one. The screen on that one is awful to me but I also use a G2, iPhone 6, '13 N7, no one notices but me.

After three replacements, I finally got a decent one. :laugh:
I'm pretty sure this is just a feature of the moto x2 go to Settings/Display and turn off adaptive brightness, you will see that it changes to normal

Indeed, when adaptative brightness is turned off, purple tint will not occur. However, I am not sure this is a "feature". It actually looks more like a poor implementation of auto brightness.

I use the CF Lumen app to turn down the red and green just a tad in the master mode. That makes my screen less pinkish.
I had the purple display issue in 5.0. Now I upgraded to 5.1 and the issue is gone. Colors are well balanced down to minimum available brightness.

Hi, just got my nexus 7 today and I've noticed that when lowering my brightness really low the screen starts becoming pink. Is there a fix to this. Some say it is a feature but I've never really seen this on other phones and personally the pink hue is bothering me quite a bit.
Posted via Nexus 7
I've my XT1572 purchased in July, 2016. I notice a yellowish tint on screen. However, my other friend who has XT1572 too doesn't has any yellow tint and the whites look truely white instead of any other color's tint. So is my display defective? Is there anyone else who is having the same issue? My phone as well as his phone isn't rooted nor any modifications are done to any. I've started this thread because most of the threads on yellowish screen tint in Moto X Style are from countries other than India. So if any Indian XT1572 user has faced the same issue, please help with the same.
I had it... But i replaced my device.. Now it's bright and beautiful.. There's no solution for it. You can either replace the handset ( if possible ) or can change the display from service center

My replacement period is already gone. So changing the display would do I guess. Do you have any idea how long it could take to change the display?
It depends on your location. Go and check
My screen felt slightly yellow too from what I was used to on a Oneplus one. So I installed frankenkernel and KCAL color control, now my display has pure whites and colors almost look like an amoled screen.
But if its super yellow and you think its a hardware issue and not calibration you should exchange it.

Good to know that. I checked it with another MXPE and a OnePlus Two, both had pure white, mine instantly looked yellow on bring the devices close to each other for comparison. Also my XPE has a bit of screen bleeding on left side beezel.
So, when I bought the phone (6 GB variant), which was around August, I noticed that the screen was slightly yellowish. Now I did adjust it a bit and made it cooler but ultimately went back to default settings. Now, all this was fine.
However, recently I bought another Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 - 6GB for my mother. I noticed that her screen doesn't have that same yellowish display. It was cooler and how do I say it more naturally whitish. So, I checked what the colour settings were and turns out she has the default setting on but the display is more whitish.
Now, both of us are on the latest November update as well.
This has been bugging the hell out of me lol. Is it some hardware issue, that Asus sorted it out in the phones they sent out after August or something else?

Some other smartphone manufacturer like xiaomi uses some different LCD panel from diff manufacturer, such as sharp, tianma, and BOE. Sharp lcd color temp is yellowish compared to tianma and BOE, so my opinion is ASUS doing the same thing as xiaomi.
