I've noticed on hands-on videos that the Droid DNA has a blue tint on white backgrounds. Some reviewers have also mentioned this and the cooler nature of the colors. Another thing I've noticed is the colors seem less vibrant compared to the One X, which was more colorful and warmer. The blue tint was the first thing I noticed while all these review videos were extolling the greatness of the PPI. The blue tint on galaxy phones drives me batty, and this one might not be that different. Do you see the blue tint on your phones? My local Verizon store only has dummies. I might just wait for the Oppo Find 5. I really like how the screen looks on that phone.
One X was uncomfortably warm for me. Too yellow which I didnt like.
DNA is little more colder but colours still pop nicely. Much better contrast compared to One X that I had. It is right balance between what we have seen with One X and SMOLED display that my Note 2 has.
There is definitely no trace of the typical blue tint you see in AMOLED displays. It is definitely whiter than SGS3 and Note 2. But not as yellow as One X. It is perfect actually. You can never judge screen seeing videos. Choice of wallpaper, camera sensor and room lighting play huge role in how things look on camera. There is no doubt in my mind, this is best display I have ever seen on Mobile. PERIOD.
Maybe many reviewers are coming from One X which was considered to have best 720P display. But frankly for me it was too yellow to be natural.
Thanks for your reply. I have to disagree with you about not using videos to judge a display though. Every phone I've bought looks exactly like how I've seen it in videos. There are poor quality or off-color videos of course, but those are very easy to notice and disregard. With high quality videos, especially when you have the phone next to other devices that you've used and know how they should look, there's no room to blame the video. Apple's displays always look so good because they calibrate it properly. HTC and others need to take a hint. At least provide calibration software onboard if you don't want to do it manually for each device.
I've had a few replacements of the DNA for various issues and I noticed that they all had slightly different calibration profiles with whites of two of them being slightly red tinted and the others being either slightly blue tinted or in the case of the one I currently have, closer to neutral but the colors appear to be slightly less vibrant. They're all over the map, so I think it's just the luck of the draw. One thing I have found consistent is poor backlighting with shadowing on different edges of the screen on different units, especially the bottom (near the capacitive buttons). The pixel density and size is definitely phenomenal, but I miss the balanced calibration and completely even backlighting (to the edges) of my 4s.
No blue tint here.

Okay so a lot of people are reporting 'defective' displays on the 6P. I just wanted these guys to take a look below and tell me if theirs is like mine. If so, I don't consider this a defect. Just poor viewing angles. In fact, this ONLY shows itself on white displays/images. On anything else, it is undetectable.
My old Note II is the closest to the 6P. Both AMOLED, Note II colors are more vibrant, whites are more off white than the 6P and the display is less bright also. Although less pronounced, the Note II does still have this 'color shift' but only so slightly.
My Z3 is actually worse than my 6P in this respect, despite having better whites and a brighter display.
My iP6+ color shifts the least but being an IPS panel, it doesn't have the lovely punchy colors that the 6P does. It is also the device with the worst bezels.
I must admit, to my naked eyes, the 6P is not as pink as it came out in the images. In reality, it is more a warm yellow? The phones were all on full brightness. I used an OG ipad mini to capture the images. The Z3 on the far left, then the iP6+, then the 6P and then the Note II far right.
TLDR: all these panels are dramatically different. I don't think the 6P 'color shift' is a defect at all, if it is like mine below. Is this acceptable of Google? No. But hardly a defect.
Still uploading the images... LOADING.
Below is the iPhone 6+ alongside the 6P
There are already several open threads discussing screen issues with the Nexus 6P. You are welcome to post in them.

I'm not trying to start a pixel flame war, but I'm standing in front of multiple pixel 3 devices and it's very easy to see they have two different color temperatures. The difference isn't as noticeable in photos though.
Granted, they still look 2 times better than last year, but the regular 3 clearly has a warmer temp and greater color shift when viewed off axis.
How did a room full of tech experts miss this at the Google event?!
so whats your point?
It's possible it was just those 2 devices. Not every display is exactly the same, even on same phones.
I am curious is if you checked to see if the brightness levels were the same?

It was consistent on the multiple devices they had on display.
I also checked display brightness and color settings as you can see in the pictures. Like I said, the difference is more obvious in person and I'm shocked no tech reviewers have mentioned it. I've even noticed it while watching YouTube videos with reviewers holding the devices side by side.
Interesting

That's the same video that caught my eye. Matthew Moniz has a video about the notch that shows both phones with two different temperatures as well. He doesn't mention it either. I am hoping Erica Griffin does a test on it, but she topically only buys the larger version...
Coming from the 2 XL, my main concern is that it's better than that panel. If it is, then I'm happy.
To me, that notch is still enough to make me avoid the 3 XL even if it has slight better color temperature. There's always gonna be something better, bright, whiter, whatever. I'm looking at the overall package at this point in the game and the regular 3 is the better compromise for me.
I went to the Verizon store today and also noticed a difference in the color temperature of the displays. But I could've sworn the XL had the warmer panel. I'm sure there a ton of variability between screens even among the same model especially so soon after release. Not a big deal but I liked the XL screen a bit better especially when watching media. To my eyes the difference between 1080 and 1440 is noticeable. The regular 3 screen is also much smaller than I thought it would be. I figured it'd be pretty close to my Samsung Galaxy S8 but it's a good deal smaller. So I cancelled my Pixel 3 pre-order and went for the XL.

Yes, the display on both models is considerably better than the pixel 2 series. I wonder if anyone could compare them to the OG pixels? I loved their screens.
I watch a lot of videos on the net and I realize as the screen of Google pixel 3 to a pink tint ??
I cancelled Pixel 3 and ordered Pixel 3 XL.
Hi, I really hesitate between the two versions now.
I took a fairly janky photo the other day at the Verizon store and the screens looked identical. Both phones in max brightness, adaptive color setting. They looked identical (that's why I took the photo). Unfortunately I couldn't move then from their secure displays, and actually was quite a bit off center for the pixel 3 because another customer wanted to spend 30 minutes with then like I was . The demo models had a purple-and-yellow gradient background image on them, which also looked identical on each phone. I couldn't actually handheld the devices at the time, though, so it's hard to get a good comparison, but the screens looked really great regardless. I'm not worried in the slightest at this point. We'll see if the internet starts up a new conspiracy about screen issues, though.
I looked at the 3/3Xl side by side in 2 different stores yesterday. The smaller one is definitely warmer .. looks more saturated.
Made sure both were at 100 % brightness. No adaptive brightness. Adaptive display color more on both.
Both looked very nice compared to my 2XL.. but the smaller one did look like it had its saturation turned to 11.

My concern is that the whites are just not as white on the regular pixel 3 and it will effect how we perceive the image quality of the photos we take. I make quick edits on my phone using Snapseed all the time, and I don't want it to look different than what I expect.
Well as mentioned in another thread here (the iFixit teardown), the smaller's display is LG while the XL is Samsung.
https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Google+Pixel+3+Teardown/113763
Bummer... time to wait for more reviews to see differences.
I just received my Pixel 3 and compared it to my 2XL, and I'm so glad I did because I was ready to jump the gun and assume it was a horrible display as soon as I found out it was made by LG. I don't know how it personally compares to the Pixel XL 3, but the Pixel 3's screen is just flat out better when compared to my Pixel 2XL. The viewing angles are vastly better. There isn't a huge color shift when tilted. The colors seem significantly more vibrant. There seems to be less black crush (not perfect).
I was really considering returning my Pixel 3 until I compared the display to my Pixel 2XL. Man, I am glad I did, because I often found that my 2 XL with a case+whitedome screen protector were way too heavy and nearly impossible to use one handed. To be fair, I also prefer smaller phones. I would've bought the Pixel 2 instead of the 2XL if they had just maintained the same design. And I definitely loved my og Pixel over the og Pixel XL.
A small update -
I visited a Verizon store yesterday, and it does seem that the screens are different in temperature. The 3 had a bit cooler temp than the 3XL, but they both looked amazing. I set them both on the 3 color modes and they were a tiny bit different than one another, but again they are both really nice and look calibrated well.
I'm still on LG G4, which has an amazing screen (LCD though), and the two pixels are amazing, compared.
Anyone know how to increase the saturation of the display? The display looks quite dull compared to oneplus 6, galaxy s9 and iPhone x. Had them all side by side. I'm always finding I have to increase the saturation of photos too after taking them to match the colours in scene cause they are clearly muted. If you transfer the unedited photos taken on the mate 20 pro to another phone or computer, they look fine. So glad it's not the camera, just seems to be the display having poor vibrancy. And yes my display is set on vivid in settings.
Would like to know if others have noticed this as I checked out another mate 20 pro on display in a shop and seemed to have the same problem
Try settings - display - colour and eye comfort
I don't find them dull myself but a change in settings could help.
Yeah is on vivid in settings ?
Even my pixel 2 XL looks much more vibrant! It's lovely to pick up and use after the M20Pro. I have BOE screen
Mines is more vivid than my note 9! BOE screen here

Interesting, seems to be some major inconsistencies then with this phone. Samsung phones I find over saturated so I can only imagine. I have a green LG screen atm and didn't want to switch to a boe cause I heard the LG display was more vivid than the BOE and I'm finding the saturation on my LG display already so poor so couldnt imagine what it would be like on a BOE screen.
The screen is fine. Seems people are just opening threads now to make baseless accusations against the phone because it's so much better than the competition.
I have Pixel 3 and Mate 20 pro, and just sold my Note 9 and while the whites aren't as blinding as the Note 9 , the saturation is just fine. The Pixel 3 on adaptive is too saturated and the photos from the camera are just fine.
Bringing up the saturation in the camera photos to match the scene? please.
I would advise the op to sell it and get a Pixel.

You don't want to give your significant other yet another reason to yell at you while you're reading XDA in bed. Rate this thread to express what you think of the Realme X2 Pro's display minimum dimness. A higher rating indicates that the display can get extremely dim, ideal for reading in very dark environments.

I heard from two people at least there's a problem with this phone that it has visible greenish tint on lowest brightness. Is that true. They said it's a widespread problem...

Confirmed. Sent mine back for this reason.
I can confirm this is a problem when display is low brightness. But if Flicker-Free mode is turned on the tint disappears completely. And the colours change just a little bit (only when display is low brightness), and not in a bad way. It makes white more natural. I will keep it.
It's an issue due to how amoled display's lower the brightness

Let me correct, other 60Hz amoled do not have this issue.
Rest all high refresh rate have this viz. Rog II, Pixel 4/Xl, 1+7T/pro, etc.
Salut, frère. J'ai une question svp. J'aime ce téléphone avec toutes les recherches que j'ai sur Internet et par le biais de critiques YouTube. Ma question est est-ce que je vais l'acheter? J'aime vraiment ce téléphone. Je prévois de le commander ce soir.
Merci beaucoup !
good minimum brightness
It looks like the minimum brightness is on the same level with my old Moto G4+, which seems to have a minimum brightness of 25 cd/m².
But I can confirm a greenish tint (but I think it's not only in low brightness but in all brightness levels, just less visible with higher brightness). It doesn't make a difference if I activate DC-Dimming ("flicker free low brightness" or so) or not. And it's also visible in cold as well as in warm display color temperature. I use 90 Hz.

Yes they do... I've personally seen it on 1x S10, 2x S10 plus, 2x note 10 plus, 1x X2 pro, 1x op7t and recently on the galaxy tab 6. I've also seen people say they have it on mi9t pro and iPhone X.
Edit: Believe me this is a wide spread issue among Samsung oleds... I'm not saying every single person has the issue... But I definitely think most do but don't notice or don't know what to look for. There's no way that it's a minority when I've had 2x S10 plus and the X2 pro and my brother 2x note 10 plus aswell as tab 6 and his partner standard s10 and all have a green tint just to different degrees..
Edit: I'd also like to say it's not limited to region or batch... The first S10 plus I had was from Argos UK, the second from eBay and it was a Hong Kong snap dragon version, my brother's note 10 plus both was eBay, his partner standard s10 was if I remember bought from EE when the S10 range first came out.

So, those who were able to spot green tint, must apply for replacement then.
Well yes if it bothers them enough... Although good look getting a screen without this as my above message it's been on them all... As far as I'm concerned it's probably on most if not all recent Samsung panels... That's not me calling people who say they don't have it a lier... I just don't think they have tested enough... It's slightly different on each panel.
Just to add to this I've seen a mi9t pro tonight with the green tint.

You probably saw it on someones Mi 9T Pro who overclocked screen to 81Hz or 90Hz because on default 60Hz Mi 9T Pro have perfect display. You also said that you saw it on 1x S10, 2x S10 plus, 2x note 10 plus, 1x X2 pro, 1x op7t. Well guess what, I also saw that phones and they have perfect display.
Don't talk bad things about other phones if you have issues on your phone.
X2 Pro is really great phone but most of them have some issues with display because Realme had to cut somewhere to give phone with this specs for very low price so they ordered lowest quality amoled from Samsung.

Don't tell me what I saw or didn't or make out I'm talking rubbish.. the s10 is my brother's partner... The 2 note 10s plus was my brother and the 2x S10 plus was mine... The mi9t pro is also my brother's and he only received it yesterday no screen overclock.
Little update regarding the mi9t pro... My brother got the phone replaced due to heating issues... The new one has less green hue over grey but is still there but this time grey is not uniform and lighter or darker on certain areas and this gets worse when brightness is lower.
This comment is pure speculation.
"Realme had to cut somewhere to give phone with this specs for very low price so they ordered lowest quality amoled from Samsung."
I've attached a photo of my brother's first note 10 plus and I'll have a look later if I can find anymore... He actually posted this on Sam community.

I've attached a good image for others to test... Download the image and double tap in the gallery to expand to full screen... Slowly adjust your brightness while checking the image... This on mine is hard to see any issues unless in a full dark room with no light.

Makes a small difference but the 90hz is not the problem... As I said above with the other phones of which most are 60hz.
Edit 17/04
Pixel 4XL, S10 lite, a71, s20s showing to have this aswell... Like I said previously this is a wide spread Samsung panel issue.
