Any one noticed that after so long the screen dims ever so slightly just like it did on the s6 edge not as much as the edge but just enough to make the whites go off white do you reckon it could be fixed by a dev just like it was on the edge ??

Hey guys,
I'm about to soon pull the trigger on either the Galaxy Note 5 or a S6 Edge+. What I have observed from playing with some display units in best buy is that both screens of both edge phones (s6 edge, s6 edge+) have this weird light glow, or light bleed in the curved edges. I had the phones on high brightness, and was mostly on a white background (browser). It somewhat bothers me, and it makes me want to pull the trigger on a Note 5 even faster. However I would like to know if this issue is widespread to all phones, even the international models.
Another question, do you guys believe that the Edge+ will have better development than the Note 5?

Back light bleeding is normal in some circumstances but if you get easily annoyed by that then maybe you should run some test first before purchasing a phone.
Regarding the matter between Edge+ and note 5. I believe that they will feed both devices the same treatment. Since focusing only in one will agitate the opposite user. imo
Edge+ has the auto brightness bug , quite annoying

maybe it's just a user bug.
He might be taking about the new power save option that does not allow you to manually deselect the screen.

Hi all,
Looked at my nice shiny new phone on the desk this morning in direct sunlight with the screen off and was shocked to see a huge ripple through the display.
I did some googling and it looks just like this on the Edge.

Seems they all have this minor defect. It's only noticeable under direct sunlight or a very bright light but I'm not too happy about it given the price of this device
Anyone else have the same thing?
Not that crazy, but yes we all have that.
yes normal. Even worse if if you ever use your screen in direct sunlight, and in full brightness, go look at a white background and you'll see patches of grey. That 'issue' was on the first S6 edge as well.
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.
Hello. I have been trying to wrestle with the s7 edge i got. It's beautiful. But i don't know if i'm overthinking this or not. I look @ the display and the whites aren't perfect. Seems like a yellowish hue to it. I'm coming from an iphone so this kinda affects me.
I put two nexus 6p's side by side and saw there was a difference in screen colour.
I like the cooler temeperatures and i hate the yellow. The samsung engineers came back saying that my device is perfect and they can't do anything about it. I'm i wrong? Is this a general thing with AMOLED displays?
Go into Settings -> Display -> Screen Mode
Change to your liking

Iphone have bluish white and S7 have very close to perfect white but you get used to bluish white on iphone so now you see white on S7 as yellowish. There's nothing wrong with S7. It's just your brain and eye.

If you are desperate about it, play around with an app named Screen Equalizer. With that you could add a blue tint to the whole screen if wanted. It's meant to "fix" uneven display lightning/white balance but could probably be used for your cause too.

Hi. I get this light bleeding just after the edge finishes, especially on the left side of the phone.
It is more prominent when brightness is high and when there is a bright graphic being displayed near the edge.
See: https://ibb.co/noq3aQ
Is this normal???
Yes, that type of bleed is normal. I have it also on my silver phone. My friends have it too on their s7 edges.

That's completely normal because it is curved display. Nothing to worry about. I also have that I mean every single curved Galaxy has that light "bleeding".
Also technically, this is not light bleeding (amoled don't have any backlighting make it impossible to bleed).
This is caused by the light (from display) reflect inside and is trapped in the glass then come out at the edge/end of the glass.
