The only problem i noticed from the ones that you mentioned are overheating while i am playing certain games such as order and chaos online. I simply lower down the brightness from 100% to 50% and problem solved. However i read somewhere that overheating is fixed in the next firmware which is 2.3.4!
I never saw any pink spots or yellow tints in my phone. And if u have any second thoughts about the screen, don t have! It s one of the best screens out there. Period! Like the first poster said, you can t go wrong with this device, it is the best smartphone out there I bought mine when they first were available and i can t find a simple fault in it Just go for it!

thnx a lot bro for ur reliving reply i was really paniking after reading all the faults of this phone .. Also i will check the phone b4 buying
The things on your list are very minor issues. Most of the minor issues you have to be looking for them with a magnifying glass.
1. Yellow Tint: You have to be in dark room/With a solid GREY screeen/Brightness Turned all the way down to really notice the yellow tint. Its not something you see in everyday/normal use.
2. Overheating: This is all dependent on what your doing. It usually overheats with games being played for long periods. Personally my phone never gets past warm. You normally feel this heat from the camera area or top part of screen. Thats where CPU is located.
3. This is something you see on rare occasions. Most users in the banding threads see this on only certain wallpapers, xda load screen(3sec process), angry birds load screen(3second process). Another minor issue you rarely see but it is present.
4. After 500+ pictures/videos from my Jamaca vacation I never notice a pink spot. Ive had phone since UK launch but never seen pink spot. Some users reported after updating camera firmware pinkspot was gone. Very minor issue.
Do a little research in the general section, there should be plenty of post explaining each issue with pictures.

Ignore "JJE" hes just a random oblivious troll, yes the pink spot in the camera and the yellow tint is very possibly on all phones, many websites are struggling to find 1 which doesnt have this problem, the yellow tint is hardly noticeable and only in some shades of gray.
The pink spot unfortunatelly is easy to notice but perhaps with better light conditions you can overcome it.
The overheating problem has nothing to do with playing games to much time, its possibly a OS bug which can be fixed, everytime my phone overheated all i had to do was to getting out of all apps, clear memory ram and start that app again, the overheating happened in 20 minutes, after exiting apps and clearing ram it didnt happen untill battery drained...
Believe me you won't regret buying this beast. I had exact same doubts b4 buying and after using it for almost one week, I am glad that I decided to buy it. Btw, ordered from clove to Japan.

the yellow tint issue cant be noticed easelly you need specific shades of gray with very low brightness to even notice it slightly, overall if you want the best performance and best contrast you wont find anything that comes close to this phone, after i have traded 2 of my phones my third one still is and will remain to be galaxy s2 for a good while because the competition in comparison to this phone is simply outdated.
So if you want a top of the line performance phone this is the best, if you want mostly for gamings then either this or xperia play, but even tough xperia play is very good for gaming its a single core 1.0ghz cpu with a not that good gpu, so u win at something and loose at something else.
No phone right now offers the best in all areas each has its up and down.
Hi guys,
I just sold my "old" SGS2 which I bought on the second or third week of launch of the international version and got a new one. Here are some of the things that I've noticed:
1. Red spot on white background picture while using the camera is GONE. I thought this was a software problem before but I guess it must have been hardware related. Flashed two different roms now including the stock one and still no red spot.
2. Yellow stain on the lower portion of the notification bar is gone. Color is even with no hint of the yellow stain that plagued earlier versions of the unit.
3. Color of the screen is noticeably darker. You wont be able to notice this most of the time but on apps like dialer one wherein the default background color is gray, you can really see a huge difference. Darker but not less brighter, I don't know how to describe it but you can really tell the difference.
4. Capacitive button lights are much dimmer. I tried them on different kernels and roms and they're still dimmer. Not a dealbreaker though.
Overall I am very pleased that Samsung quietly addressed these manufacturing issues
*edit* actually I'm not sure if I was just lucky or they really fixed it
Concerning the screen, you just got lucky. The yellow tint is still here on new batches. One thing I noticed however, is that the two new units I used, had no processor usage interference when headphones were used. Did they add proper shielding or was I lucky as well?
Actually I think I spoke a little too soon. Apparently the white's and the grays are my screen are a lil darker than usual and a little to the shade of purple. Some people have it as well. My white's are not as white as before but when i turn the brightness up it turns into a pretty good shade of white. But my grays are definitely more purple.
Oh well
Every sgs2 is unique, i like to think (so i don't get annoyed by it) that every sgs2 is a piece of hand-made craftsmanship.
Noticed the darker colours on my friends new SGS2 also. .

Can you please do the following: "First of all please check your existing camera firmware version by typing *#34971539# and then press Phone/CAM FW Ver Check."
And post what shows up on the screen?
Thanks!
Pretty sure sammy havent fixed anything, as some one said ur lucky as am i lol. My phone has no screen issues. Just the usual getting hot problem, so i dropped cpu to 1000mhz and undervolted, much better. If the new GS3 has a quad core processor it will be a sweet portable heater. ;-)
looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!

This code works only on stock Samsung ROMs. It runs CameraFirmware.apk
Yeah, forgot to mention that... I just wanna know what camera firmware you have considering it's a brand new phone... I'll post a walkthrough to get it running if you're willing to help.
What ROM are you running??
Sent from my GT-I9100turbobit.net/gf3fywnc5s1n.html download this file, copy it in /system/app, change permissions to 644 and then reboot phone... then try code again.
Even i never had screen issue nor the overheating issue.Mine is International version.
Hey there,
I just received my Huawei Honor 6X last week, and i am writing this to post my opinion on this device so you guys can get a good idea about the phone, as there is only scarce information about the hands on experience and functioning of the device.
I bough the Grey coloured 3GB32Gb variant, from UAE's online shipping jadopado. At 899AED~240USD~15000Rs
https://india.jadopado.com/product/JM00329911/huawei-honor-6x-dual-sim-64gb-4g-lte-smartphone
And this seller is by far the best seller i have ever come across. So helpful that he was 24/7 available through whatsapp, double checked my phone for me, even cleared my doubts on EMUI, and created videos to guide me through EMUI:highfive:
As you can see only the 4GB/64Gb variant is shown as available, contact the seller and they will guide you to buy the 3gb variant.
I really like the phone, its sleek aluminium-clad and really slippery. The UI has a learning curve, after that its alright.
Model Number: BLN-AL10.
Disclaimer: i have only used the phone for 2 days.. These are just my opinions..
Camera:
Talking about the camera, its good #decent, not superbtastic!! Main camera is 12mp+2mp, while the front camera is 8mp
It takes good to great pictures.. I have attached some pictures..
Pretty decent in medium low light.
Autofocus in video shooting isn't spot on.
The bokeh effect(dual camera) is good, but i dont think we'll use it often.
Performance
Performance is good, will be better in EMUI 5 i hope so..
Battery
The battery has been great so far, mainly due to huawei's excellent software which handles battery management. And there is ultra power saving mode.. I'm getting around 6 hours sot as of now, will have to use for a week or two to get the correct idea.
Call Quality
Call quality has been good so far.. Using BSNL and Jio..
And in Reliance Jio (india) i am facing network signal being lost and other issues, i think its mainly due to Jio's fault, as most of my other friends also has it..
LTE CAT 6 option for faster connectivity
It has VoLTE optionin settings, but still have problems in calling from stock dialer (JIO- India), it'll get fixed through an update i hope so.. I have emailed Huawei about this issue.
Fingerprint
Finger scanner is spot on.
Speaker
Speaker is loud, but its only a single down firing one. And while watching videos we can easily block the speakers accidentally when cupping the phone.
Display
Display is great, quality is good But the viewing angles are not that good, but its not at all noticeable..
Benchmarks: (3GB/32GB version)

I have added some more pictures, to get an idea about the image quality..
Its good.
Honor 6x User Here Too
Me as well, is satisfied with it. Requested it from a friend who bought it from China. I got the 4GB / 64GB variant on gold color.
For it's price, what more could you ask for? I love it's performance, camera, GPS.
the only downfall i can say is it's speaker. it's only coming out from the bottom right side. but no problem with headphones.
you say you're having problem with signal after restarting it. Though i don't have that kind of problem. I did not make any benchmark yet, maybe in the future.
this might be my phone for the next 2years. It will not be outdated.
heard there would be updates to Nougat on this model. hopeful! ^_^

I bought a galaxy S10 Plus recently and I already noticed the same problem of display as my old galaxy s9 plus, the dark parts are pixelated, the famous black crush, I am well stressed, I sold my s9 plus and bought the s10 plus only because of this problem, is there any way to resolve this without application? the screen balance spoils the image more than it improves.

Can you solve this? I used an application but if it closes it unintentionally the bad effects come back and it brightens the blacks but worsens the rest

It is well-known problem and has nothing to do with Pixel Experience ROM or any other firmware. It is due to extremely low quality touch screens Xiaomi uses nowadays.

It's definitely from the phone screen, no question. If you're a heavy media consumer, I recommend black themes (substratum or from rom itself) and a rom with screen burn-in protection feature, like Havoc os for example. Decrease the interval from 60 seconds to less, like 40 or so.
I made a thread months ago about this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-7/help/redmi-note-7-image-retention-t3930167
it is not related to pixel experience, some screens are simply defective and of poor quality, as Xiaomi usually does.
I found a way to fix the image retention: if you have a rom that has livedisplay, such as lineageos or pixel experience plus, in the color calibration section, set rgb intensity to a value close to 90% For me 93% has worked and I consider that my problem is already quite severe, since then image retention has not been a problem for me.
