Even indoors, if the screen gets hit with direct light, there is a clearly visible crosshatch pattern across the whole display. Anyone else notice this?
Got to say I'm not too impressed with the screen quality. Light bleed, dead pixels and now this. My much cheaper Redmi 1s has none of these issues. Sure, the colours aren't as vibrant but not sure which I'd choose given the choice.
Don't see any of this, perfect picture from every angle and every light condition

There is nothing in the screen which unimpressive but If you you are expecting S6 or Z5 level screen then you are expecting too much and than you bought wrong one, just buy G4 S6 or Z5 if you want everything impressive except price

If you get direct light on the screen, you don't see the digitizer? I noticed it within a couple mins of using phone and wasn't looking for it. Never seen a digitizer so easily noticeable before.
I don't think its too much to expect at this price a screen without noticeable light bleeding, dead pixels etc. Honestly I think they used the European promotion to shift these phones with slightly subpar displays. Btw, I think you are overrating Sony's screens. They are known for the same issues I noticed on this Honor 7, even on their flagships.
I noticed this also but it happened to me after I removed stock "screen protector" and replaced with Nilkin tempered glass. I quess stock screen protector somehow filtered grid away.

I still have stock screen protector and also see it. I guess its just coincidence you noticed only after installing Nillkin.
I am very critcal when it comes to display, both with computers and smaller screens. Had there been a visible grid on my H7 I would have seen it, no doubt at all. I never could stand the Sony Trinitron support wires at the old CRT monitors, and a lot of people.never saw them!

Can't really think of a touchscreen phone I have owned where I couldn't see the digitiser at some point, at the right angle, in the right light.

I noticed it within 5 seconds of taking the phone out of the box when the screen was tilted towards a light bulb. The digitizier of the Honor 7 seems unique in that it's very visible in artificial indoor lighting.

I have several phones and never seen the digitizer except in bright sunlight. With the Honor 7 I noticed it indoors immediately. Even checking side by side now in same conditions, I can't see the digitizer on any of them except the Honor 7. The screen looks like it has a texture to it when light hits it, not like the usual barely noticeable digitizer pattern. I agree that its not really an issue though, more of an observation.
I think honor 7 is one of the best phones I have had for this. I have just spent a few moments trying to see it and can't. I have always been able to see it before. I still have the supplied protector on also, if that makes a difference.

Check indoors at night time. Also at night it is visible with high brightness on white background, it you look closely.
Yes, your right, I can see them too.. But I had to put the display INTO my eyes that I was able to see them.. :silly:

Well.. into your eyes for straight ahead but tilted at light you can see from normal distance. It is minor issue though. I'm more annoyed with my dead pixel
When I saw your post I started looking for it, with different angles, different lights, etc... I can't see it !
I remember that it was sometimes visible on my Galaxy Note 2 and LG G3, but only with intense sunlight so I'll look again on the Honor 7 next summer I guess
I think the general product quality is the main factor, for example, I often see it (even indoors) on my Onda V989, which is a 130$ chinese tablet. (The tablet is great, but the screen has a weak max brightness).

It is very different looking than any other digitizer, so maybe you are looking for the wrong thing. It is not dots, and not a normal digitizer pattern. It looks more like a light texture on the screen. In daylight it creates a rainbow effect.

That's because this is an LCD screen, which has linear polarization vertically. Your s5 was amoled, which has circular polarization. So when you turn the phone on its side, the lines of polarization line up and it blocks out the screen. Any LCD screen will do this.

I agree. Polarized sunglasses are essential. (I'm an optician). Keeping the phone upright will let you still see the screen with sunglasses on. Unfprtunately, there's no way to correct it while looking at the screen in landscape. Just have to take the sunglasses off if you need to take a landscape photo or something. Its just how optics work.
I switched over to non-polarized glasses last year because so many of the phones these days would do this.

my note 3 has more reason to stay the backup then. my nav apps are on that and i have absolutely no desire to go non-polarized on my shades.
My Oakley polarized sunglasses don't affect the screen when viewed at portrait. Landscape it does black out as expected.

It really does suck. I want the best of both worlds (freedom to choose whichever phone I want without worrying about polarization; Polarized sunglasses).
Coming from such an epic fail camera in my Sony Z Ultra to the v10 makes it that much more painful because I'd actually use it for things liike my mtb or running the dog on my rollerblades. Lol...
I just tested with my oakley's, never knew this was an issue with LCDs. Portrait mode I can see fine, then see the black out in landscape; however, if you really need/want landscape you can tilt/angle the phone to left/right slightly and then you can see the screen. Just can't keep it completely horizontal.

Would you know why iphone lcd displays don't have this issue? Aren't they lcd technology?
Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk
Iphone also uses IPS LCD, however, the horizontal polarization defect that is present in LG is not as noticeable due to Apple using a different (higher quality) polarizing film on Iphone.
However, that said, you can "fix" the issue on the V10 and the G4 by using a tempered glass screen protector. I have a generic one from amazon and the problem is 90% resolved.
Was thinking of trying a Tempered glass screen protector anyway, which one did you get or do you recommend? Thanks

The tempered glass protectors seem to help. It still goes darker, but not completely dark. Still usable for the most part.

I had someone with a CrApple iphone ask me to take their pic and I had my sunglasses on. I was able to see the screen and I think it just had a film on it. It's encouraging I suppose.

Been using a LG G3 for 2 yrs.....that has a LCD screen. (Also a Moto x Pure) Does not do this at all. I am using the same polarized sunglasses clips I have always used.
Had the same issue until I put a tempered glass screen protector on the phone. It's a little dim now but certainly legible.

Hello everyone,
I'm the Editor-in-Chief of the XDA Portal. I received the Pixel 3 XL in Just Black for review from Google. I also have the Pixel Stand and Pixel USB-C Earbuds.
I posted part 1 of my review here: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-3-xl-camera-software-design-pixel-stand/
Have posted a ton of little tidbits of information here: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-3-google-pixel-3-xl-minor-features/
And my announcement article also has a ton of information: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-3-google-pixel-3-xl-specs-features-pricing-availability/
But if you have any other questions, I'm happy to answer them now that the review embargo has been lifted.
---
Sorry, I don't have the smaller Pixel 3 on hand, but the two devices are basically the same apart from the different screen sizes/notch.
Is the screen completely flat? For screen protectors. Can you also dock the phone horizontal and still use the features? I think it was careless of the designers, if you could not use the USB C headphones while it charges on the stand(vertical).

It's basically flat. It slightly curves at the edges, but nothing like the Samsung Galaxy series. You can dock the phone in the Pixel Stand horizontally, but the new UI only appears in portrait mode. I agree it's an oversight - all it takes to enable landscape mode in Always on Display is to change a single boolean value in the framework: https://android.googlesource.com/pl.../+/master/core/res/res/values/config.xml#1192
Is the stand worth it? How much time does it take to charge phone completely?

The Always on Display integration is really neat but I'm guessing someone will figure out how to trigger it for any Qi wireless charger soon, so I'm not sure if the Pixel Stand will be so unique in the future. It charges the device fully in about 2 hours and 40 minutes, but about 50% in 1 hour.
Is the video as washed out as it looks in the reviews I've see (supersaf and zone of tech)? Something perhaps to do with electronic image stabilization?
Just a few questions my friend.
How's the screen in bright sunlight? My P2XL needs help on that one.
How's the ringer/notification volume and vibration motor? I've missed several calls since I have to have the volume set to full and the vibration on my P2XL is kinda weak.
Do you have any "hollow sound" while tapping the screen like has been reported on the P2XL. I can vouch for this one on my P2XL.
Thank you for your willingness to share your findings :laugh:
Does the Pixel 3 display has a pinkish tint?
Does the back scratch easily?
Does the stand have a nfc card that makes it so something else like trigger some software to make it act like a assistant mode?
I have a few questiona about its camera.
Does it have a full manual mode?
If it has, how many seconds of exposure does it have?
And, again, if it has a manual mode, can it save RAW photos?
How many camera modes does it have?
Does it have a light painting mode?
Does the Manual Camera app work with the wide aperture front camera?
If it does, can it save wide RAW photos?
What's the highest video resolution in Open Camera? (On my One M9 is 4096x2160.)
I hope you have time to answer all of this stuff.
Hello, I'm having Pixel 3 from USA and using it in India. Running latest stock OS. I'm not getting eSim option.
Please guide me for enabling the eSim option.
I know this is not the place to discuss general issues with the phone but I signed up as these forums have the most and best discussions on the issues. I am on my 3rd Mate 20 Pro as the first two LG ones had the screen bleed issue.
Now I have a BOE screen but it looks absolute trash. It lacks brightness and contrast and has a pink tint towards the top and a green tint at the bottom when you view white pages. Also when I watch videos I get awful colour banding etc on gradients. Also I get odd tints etc whenever I look at the phone from almost any angle. I am so so so disappointed.
I'm just curious if anyone has a BOE screen that is as good as the original LG ones (minus screen bleed obviously) as I don't want to send this back if I'm going to get the same crappy screen back. I'm so frustrated and will never buy a Huawei product again.
I have a BOE Seems really great, nice vibrant colours, whites and Blacks are really good. Only issue I have is if you turn off the adaptive brightness the powergenie dims most Google and Facebook apps. But the last few days I have left the adaptive brightness on auto and it seems to not dim as much. I tend to push the brightness up a little bit though.
Something I have noticed, not related to the screen, is I occasionally hear a little click in the sound, I'm not sure what that is. Unless big brother is activating my microphone. ?
Sent from my HUAWEI LYA-L09 using XDA Labs
I must admit, I do notice the colour issue mostly in Chrome but it doesn't seem to be exclusive to it. Plus the colour banding issue is really bad on mine. For instance, at 1:28 on this video (https:// youtu.be/tO01J-M3g0U) the sky has awful banding and also an actual flickering. I guess I have a bad display. I just wonder if they will see it or just send it back. It's definetly there and anyone used to good screens would see it however my aging parents said there was nothing wrong with it so it isn't obvious to anyone not used to an OLED screen and I imagine they could easily say they see no issues. Ahhhh.
No issues with my BOE screen. If you secretly swapped it with a (good) LG I wouldn't notice.

Got my BOE 18B23, looks great - you might have a faulty one.
Looks like a faulty BOE screen...I examined mine obsessively within my 2 weeks return period and found no issues. It MIGHT be a bit less bright that LG, but I am comparing it with Youtube videos and Interweb pics, so it's a false call.
Happy so far.
Definitely looks like you have a defective BOE display. I got mine today (18B23) and it's great, at least compared to my old V30 it's much better.

I received a refund after an email to the Carphone Warehouse CEO. As the IMEI I had was from Huawei not CPW. The CPW have been absolutely fantastic to me.
I went yesterday hell bent on a pixel 3xl. But I was drawn toward the Mate 20 Pro. After much discussion with the manager I ended up walking out with a Mate 20 Pro, 18B26 and it absolutely perfect. It's what the phone should have been from the get go. Uniform, responsive, fast fingerprint scanner, sharp and vibrant.

I have EXACTLY the same problem as you. This is also my 3rd Mate 20 Pro. First was LG, with the green glow issue, that was visible only in dark room with brightness set to minimum and grey background (I am still mad why I returned it, because it was better than BOE) . My second device had a BOE screen with very very bad screen uniformity at low brightness. And now my third Mate has also BOE screen with the same problem as yours. Lower half of the display has a green tint and the upper half has a pink tint. I dont mind if the screen has a tint, because that can be "repaired" by tweaking color temperature. But this is super annoying. When you scroll on sites with white background you can see how it goes from green to pink tint. Otherwise screen is great and therefore I also have a concern about the next device that I might get as a replacement, as this is clearly a lottery now. I am probably going to wait until like a month and then try to get a replacement (I hope they will admit something is wrong with the display) . It is not really affecting the day-to-day usage of the device, it is just my eyes and heart is hurting when looking at the display. Maybe I am just too picky, but I expect from the device which costs 1k€ to be worthy of its price in every department, especially display.

This complete echos my device and my sentiments about the whole thing. For the money this device should not have the issues. It is a fact. This is my first Huawei device and I'm almost certain it will now be my last.
I also don't know which device I would buy, instead of Mate 20 Pro. Once you get used to this IR facial recognition, fingerprint scanner becomes almost useless. It works in every conditions and it's sometimes even too fast. I've been using Mate 9 for the last 2 years and it was super fast from the first to the last day. I got used to the EMUI, gestures are awesome! Oh, and I must not forget about the wide angle lens, it's great. I was thinking about the Note 9, the best display, performance wise also very good (not on pair with Kirin 980 though), camera also very good, fingerprint scanner on the back with facial recognition that is significantly slower and on top of that it's still Samsung, which means that it will get very slow in just a year from buying it (it's also almost 100€ more in my country). Another alternative is OnePlus 6T, display is good, performance it's excellent, software is the best right now, the cameras are on pair with the Note 9, but it lacks wireless charging, IP rating, facial recognition depends only on camera (it doesn't work in the dark) and I can't get it from my carrier. Mate 20 Pro is also the King when it comes to the battery life! So from my point of view, there are no real alternatives to the Mate 20 Pro and I really don't know what to do. Part of me wants to get a replacement ASAP (I am scared of that also), but the other part wants to get something else, because this is going nowhere.
I think a lot of the XDA reports about the LG screens being defective were phony and were made to create mischief and discourage people from buying this phone.
When the gluegate reports started coming in on XDA easily 70% were from XDA accounts that were new and were opened specifically to report supposedly defective screens. How could anybody not have found that suspicious?
The supposed screen bleed issue is a joke. People were comparing the folded OLED on the Mate 20 Pro with Samsung phone screens that don't have folded OLED displays. Obviously the results are going to be different because they are not the same kind of displays. It is 100% normal to have bleed on the edges with a folded OLED display and it is also normal for the edges of the display to look lighter when doing the "uniformity test" that people were told proved the displays were defective.
If you go into the display settings it takes less than 10 seconds to make it appear that your screen has "gone hulk" and take a screenshot.
I have a UK Mate 20 Pro that was preordered before launch. It has an LG display from the initial batch that multiple XDA members claim were 100% defective. The display looks great and is not defective in any way.
A few weeks ago I purchased a 256GB global version and planned to upgrade. But that phone had a BOE display that was very inferior to the LG one so I ended up returning it. The BOE screen had washed out colors and was noticibly less bright than the LG display which is the reason people don't see screen bleed at the edges. Pixel response was also slower than the LG display.
A lot of people who participated in a "screen lottery" and kept returning M20P phones until they got one with a BOE display ultimately found that those displays had inferior color and brightness to the LG display.
I'm pretty certain there was nothing wrong with the phone you returned. Unfortunately I have seen 3 M20P phones with BOE displays and all 3 had washed out colors compared to the LG display.
I bought two poco and I noticed that the screens are different from each other. First Pocophone is definitely brighter than the other. The screen in the first is more whiter, warmer. The settings on both phones are identical. Any ideas what could be the reason

its normal, since the manufacturing of the display panel is in batches or made in different factory. There will be some deviation from panel to panel. This applied to all electronics not just display panel.

They had a bunch of color bleeding defects on the first batch around 2 - 3 months after they fixed the problem probably with different screens.

I bought two poco and I noticed that the screens are different from each other. First Pocophone is definitely brighter than the other. The screen in the first is more whiter, warmer. The settings on both phones are identical. Any ideas what could be the reason

Maybe you purchased one of the first batch of Pocophone F1 and one of their display has screen bleeding problem. You should replace it with another new Pocophone F1. You still have that warranty right?
Hey guys.
I checked what the bleeding screen looks like in Google and none of them indicate this problem. It gives the impression that the second screen backlight was minimal lower but only on a white background you can see the difference. I think koax88 is right. It seems to me that this is due to the different distribution of these lcd panels.

Yes i still have warranty, I bought these phones a few days ago but I do not know if it's a display defect.
