I'm shocked to see no one mentioning this, I can only think of Erica griffin's review for the s6 edge.... the s6 edge had the same issue and unfortunately the s7 edge has it too :crying: , the display has one fatal flaw in my opinion , there's very visible color shifting on the "edges" you can see very visible blue lines on the each side of the display, where the glass is curved , it's VERY apparent on every app with a white bakcground like the browser, calendar, messaging app :crying:
Doesn't it bother you? For me it's an absolute deal breaker :crying:
Doesn't bother me. I OCD about things, but that wasn't one of them.

Curved glass will always reflact light. Light changes direction, leading to a change in color due to the change in waveform.

It's physics, how can you be upset about this?
Sounds like you need to get a regular S7 then. I have an s6 edge and I've never been bothered by it and it certainly won't stop bothering me on the S7 edge.

I'm more worried about the infamous pink tinting issue present with the S6 line.

The think is I really like phablets , I have a nexus 6p currently and I don't want to wait for the Galaxy Note 5 , the s7 edge specs are already perfect, perfect size, I hate that I obsess about certain things, but I cannot unsee that color shifting
I don't know why are you calling it a fatal flaw, maybe you don't like it, but it's not a flaw, stop trying getting attention,buy another flawless phone so now you know why nobody is talking about it,the problem is in your head sorry
What color shifting?
I think you're seeing things.
Like others have said, it's physics.
Plus Erica Griffin's nit picking has become more annoying than informative. I stopped following her a long time ago.

Wait, are we talking about the slight "blue" on the sides caused by the fact that on each side it is tapered? Ummm, that isn't a flaw, it's physics like many have stated here. I nit pick over many things (I packed up and returned three 65" UHD TV'S in 2 weeks over "minor" issues.) and I can't understand the point of this thread. It is not a color that is displayed or "lines", it is there because the shape of the screen changes so obviously so would the appearance of anything being displayed on the edges. Wait, does the OP even own one? Pretty sure the solution in not getting an edge variant.

Relax. Erica has relented and even called it a "feature" in one of her vids. She has accepted it...I hope you find the will to accept it also. Stay strong.
I didnt notice the blue lines till reading this thread. You have to look close to see them. Not a deal breaker screen is still gorgeous.
Erica needs to use devices to tell you how good the screen is I use my eyes. She's always nit picked on previous amoled pentile screens even tho the only way to tell it was a pentile screen was using a magnifying glass!! Most people including her said amoled screens are the best especially when comparing side by side to other phones but she still complained about something that isn't visible with the naked eye. As for the s7 edge.. It's a curved screen.. If you think the curve is a flaw you should get the s7. The curv will always have that "flaw" when the phone is looked at from a certain angle.
S7 has the best display of any phone. Measured. By a professional:
http://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_S7_ShootOut_1.htm
Due to the way the glass/touch-lamination is done and due to the polarization filter, ALL phones so far show some shifting when viewed at an angle.
Regardless, S7 has the best display right now that money can buy.
You can always opt for a crappier display, like the one on iPhone (tested inferior).

As we all know HTC One cam with 3 types of screen
those are JDİ c_1, JDİ c_2 ans Sharp panel
it was kind of wierd that all new phones have in cell touch technology where touch sensor integrated in screen, advantages with that slimmer phone, brighter screen and less reflection.
HTC chose old fasion but issue with that especially on sharp panel digitiser visible and its whe you notice annoys you.
What am I supposed to be noticing here?
I think he's talking about those lines. Personally, i consider that a viewing angle issue.
As someone who returned his phone twice for aesthetic reasons, this one would not bother me.

You need to angle it correctly with sunlight(only) to be able to see it. It won't show up on artificial lights.

Thanks. Just tried this and it was INCREDIBLY hard to see the lines, but they were there. I couldn't even make out the screen anymore since I had to put it directly in the sun in a retarded angle. Would not have noticed this in a million years. Maybe it's worse on some screens, on mine it's a non issue

For those having the issue, are these lines only visible when outdoors in bright light and holding the phone at an unusually sharp angle? Can you see the lines when viewing the phone from a normal angle? You can see where I'm going with this.

I'm not pretty sure though... Mine is a samsung JDI screen and I can see the lines when phone is facing direct sunlight and looking in a 120 degree angle Anyways I don't use my phone like that and it's not a bother to me. Honestly I just noticed it 3 times since getting the phone.
You can see the lines clearly in the sunlight. Like you normally hold your phone, they go away if you angle it more towards yourself. They are a huge flaw. I have never seen any phone have this crap
I have owned
S2, s3, optimus g, Xperia s, HTC one x, lumia620
I can only see them when the screen is turned off, and holding the phone in a way no one uses their phone... And then it is barely noticeable. The One X had this as well.
My biggest issue, however, is that when I hold the phone at a certain angle and focus my eyes differently, I can see my reflection. I hope warranty covers the reflection issue :crying:

I too noticed lines and also noticed a small purple burn in image on my screen. My phone is less than a Month old and I have had plenty of high end phones that do not share the HTC ONEs screen problems that I have experienced thus far. The phone is great, and I do not feel people should be scared of other people who make sharp comments negating their honest views. I hate closed minds. I applaud everyone who expresses their individual problems with a device they paid top dollar for. Just because we highlight certain areas of a phone does not mean we are not credible in our complaints.

I second this flaw. Don't let people tell you this is natural. Neither my iPhone or Galaxy S4 has showed these lines and if they did I would comment. I can also see mine at a correct viewing angle in outside sunlight. I should note I love my HTC ONe. I share no brand "fan boy" feelings.

The benefits (since you asked):
1. Best brightness value
2. Best viewing angles
3. Most accurate color display/calibration
4. Highest pixel density (marginal, I know, but the numbers are what they are)
5. Most natural white temperature
All of these confirmed through various reviews/comparisons of current android phones. I can also personally attest to these through my own comparisons with numerous phones side by side. This does not include iphone 5 which is better still in most of these categories.
So the point made (and a very valid point I would say) was that if we have to deal with this insignificant "problem" to have a better display in most other senses, for me that's a no-brainer. No one in these threads seems to accept that yes, it's normal for this phone. Maybe that's not ideal for some for whatever reason and that's totally fair, lucky them there's other excellent phones to choose from. Everyone has their own priorities

Hello guys...I think my nexus 6P has pretty bad viweing angles. It is exactly...and I mean exactly like in this video.
http ://youtu.be/XhEC4dE5XHg
Is it normal for amoled screens? Is yours the same? What should I do? I love this phone...but this is concerning me. I am waiting for your answers as I do not know if I should Return this one and ask for a new one.
Update 1: do you think a tempered glass protector will make a difference? I am about to apply one but if my unit is defective Ivwill wait until I exchange it
The viewing angles for me are crap. If I tilt it upwards the screen goes completely pink/purple. Left and right give a rainbow tint. I don't notice it 95% of the time though

Do you think this is like a common thing? Or are we unlucky and most of the screens are better? It also pisses me off a little...otherwise i love the phone...but idk if I should ask for a replacement or not. I might also get a screen with a worst effect so that is why I am scard.
I think all screens are the same. Samsung kept the 100% ones and gave Huawei the 2. choice samples. If you use a higher brightness, it´s not really that bad. I´ve seen worse screens eg. in a Samsung Galaxy SIII where you could spot the glue marks..

Funny enough i am coming from an s3 and had no problems with the screen on that one. I had to choose between the 6P and the s6 edge plus....and i chose the 6P cuz I saw that the edge plus had a really loose home button and I didn't want that. I still want the 6P more...i just really fell in love with it...but I do not know if I should try and rma it...
Is your also the same?
It's very common. There are several threads on here about it, lots of people affected and some having to return their phones 4 or 5 times to get one they are reasonable happy with.
Mine was really bad especially at angles. I returned for a refund. I couldn't be bothered to return it multiple times. Also I was annoyed that Google was ignoring my emails about it.

You might get used to the screen, don´t worry The Nexus 5 ( 2013 ) had a different type of screen where you could see the digitizer matrix if you looked close enough I´m happy with my Nexus 6p though it´s slightly warped now. The phone is great but not very sturdy from a mechanical point of view.

What do you mean when you say "warped" ?
I will post shortly some photos of the screen. Please let me know what you think
Okay....so here are my photos
It's an amoled. I've 4 s6. 2 10.5 tab s . 8.4 tab s and now a 9.7 tab s2 and there all the same. So it's not a defect . It's only wrong if it has a very noticeable hue or is uneven in colour. if it's even and has nice whites don't risk it
It's a shame because I love this damn device besides the crappy screen angles. Any slight deviation from straight on give me a bluish hue. Sad because the colors are so vibrant. I have played a bit with the saturation settings in Franco's kernel, but the color temp doesn't go high enough to tame the warm whites as much as I want. Just got my phone this past Monday and am still on the fence about an RMA. I just got the phone running where I want on CATA with Franco.

Okay guys...this is my screen. The brighteness was at less than 50 and more than 70. Most of the shots were taken with adaptive brighteness on. The photos where the screen is really bright were taken with adaptive off and brighteness at around 90%
What do you think, should I try to replace it with a new one or do you think the screen is good enaugh? Would you keep it?

That's looks like a good screen to me. Very uniform. Keep it . I would be chuffed if mine was like that. I think we become obsessed when first coming from Lcd or Ips screens but our eyes adjust and we end up realising that we have a good amoled or not. that comparable to the whites on my Samsung S6. And it took me 4 s6 phones to get a screen this good
Thanks a lot for your reply! You made me smile a little and feel better about it . When you say "that comparable to the whites on my Samsung S6." you mean that you compared my screen to your s6 or? I also think the screen looks kinda okay...getting just a little pink when I change the viewing angle...and then green if I move it a bit more. That's why I am saying I think the viewing angles are the ones bothering me. my screen also gets kinda pink...but when I get the brightenes all the way down and I am in adaptive mode. does that also happen on yours?
Hello everyone!
I saw lots of posts on the internet about the nexus 6P having dome sort of tint either pink or yellow. I do not know if mine does that. I mean looking at it straight it looks ok. But my problem is that at the slightest tilt of the phone the color change a bit to something a little greenish/bluish. Also at big angles the screen has a rainbow effect that i didn't notice on a s6 edge, for example.
I do not know if this is normal. It is a bit annoying because having the google keyboard which is a greyish color when i tilt it a bit it gets a little greenish. Is that normal? What should I do? I checked the manufacturing date and it is in Octomber.
The model is a 32GB Graphite.
Best regards!
Anyone?
That's amoled screens for you
It looks kinda weird. I checked with a friend's s6 edge and we t does not act like this. Mine is like...white...tilt it right greenish...tilt it left...greenish....tilt it a lot on either side...rainbow. Is an amoled screen supposed to do this?
Yes I bet your friends s6 edge has it to some extent or in a different colour. I've has 4 s6 phones 2 tab s 10.5 and 1 tab s2. They all have it to a certain extent. Some worse than others but a slight tint is the best your going to get
I have the same issue too on my 6P! And I also happen to own an S6 edge, just like you've mentioned, the Samsung phone had no color shifting. I don't really think an AMOLED is supposed to do this.

I noticed it on mine immediately. I had an s3 and it never happened on that so I'm not sure you can blame it on amoled. Also, it was so bad in mine, it took away any advantage of having amoled screen. It was worse than any lcd screen I had in recent years. I returned and got a refund.
Too bad, 6P is a great phone.

Im not sure we have any korean users on here but curious if the red tint rumor is real.
Apparantly also easyly solved by adjusting the red color strenght to half the value.
No product is 100% free from defects. They all have a 1% target to hit for defective units but of course it's sometimes higher. You get these stories with every new phone that's released, including iPhone. The percentage of people that actually have a real issue will be small. If it's defective in some way or not to your liking, it's easy to send it back.

I had this issue on 2 different S7e (both early and later production models) last year and it was not easily solved by adjustments. It took a full-blown device replacement so I wouldn't put too much hope in that.
yep its true. Happens more often then you think.
Some screens just have a tint to them. Most devices will let you change them in the settings.
One of my old phone had this problem but the screen was yellow. it effected a small amount of those phone and i had to send it back to get a good working one.
But we will see what happens when the s8 is launch and how many are effected.
I checked it out at Best Buy today. With all 3 colors maxed out it had a red hue so I turned down the red and it got better but still not 100% to my liking. Coming from the iPhone 6 Plus its display seemed brighter to me (could be due to the hue) than the s8+. The iphone7 plus was sorta the same to had a dark hue to it and definitely wasn't bright as my iPhone 6
I am wondering how strong that red tint is? Can you clearly see it? I am a bit paranoid when I read such stuff and always feel like I have said problem xD

Wow, on yours it definitely looks like the lower 2/3 of the screen has a red tint. If thats the case, and its not a uniform discoloration, i would say it would have to be impossible to adjust out because as you adjust to make the lower better, the upper is going to look worse.
I can see this on white background screens along the right edge. Not too noticable.

This phone better be perfect in my hands. I will be having the verizon guy show me a straight white background before I walk out of the store. That **** is NOT acceptable for an 800 dollar phone. And I would keep returning it until it is perfect.
Trust me its a lot more noticeable in person. The pic doesn't do justice. It's the whole screen for some reason the camera catches only 2/3. I will call TMO tomorrow see what the remedy is but I am not keeping the phone that's for sure. I use my phone a lot in bed and thats where the pink-red is very visible and when I have it laying on my desk. And no turning off the red color like Samsung suggest doesn't make any difference.
My midnight black S8+ is displaying perfect whites. No red tint here.

My midnight black S8+ has the red tint at the left and top edge only. it also seems to disappear if you look at it at an angle.
I've just been on the phone with EE to get a replacement phone sent out. It arrives tomorrow I hope the replacement doesn't have the same issue. I will post an update tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

It's real. I have pink-red tint on my s8+. It really noticeable at different angels. I've attached pics sitting next to my s7 edge.

Yup, id return that. Dont feel too bad, mine arrives today and will likely have the same problem. This seems to be the new norm these days, if you want something your happy with, be prepared to fight for it!
Getting mine tomorrow... I'll test it out and let everyone know if I get a red tint and if I can adjust...
Yeah this isnt a new problem, just a QC problem with screen.
Got mine today and it looks okay but im not sure ill ever get used to the edges.
I am not Going to waste your time!
Read it Carefully: Truth is Oneplus 8 Pro Display issue is pretty solid. And there is literally nothing they can do to fix that issue via software as that is the Hardware problem.
For details see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dfF6JehZ0s
I have also attached two screenshot of that video at the attachment section.
1. First Screenshot is from The Early Unit
2. Second Screenshot is from The Replacement Unit
NB: Oneplus is trying to hide the display issue via software update by reducing the capability of dimming the brightness at low level I mean you can't lower the brightness like other phones or like the previouds unit of OP8 Pro where you could previously see those issue clearly. See that video by SuperSaf for better understanding. That's why people who got the device recently are not complaining about that but yet you can see those issue with replacement unit. And after zooming the video and photo you can clearly see a horizontal wide line through punch hole Camera. It is hardware issue literally as they could not master the Laser cut tech like Samsung. So, spend your money wisely!
So, now what
Pretty sure it's a Samsung display. Mine is flawless. Have had it since launch day. Maybe I got lucky?
What display issue? This is the best screen on a smartphone I've had.
Yeh, so far my screen is brilliant looking!
I hope most people with an effected screen makes a fuss to OnePlus so it hurts them in their pockets. I hate when the consumer takes the hit when OnePlus should be addressing the problem and being honest. I am lucky I feel in my unit but if OnePlus doesn't act transparent, this will be my first and last product I purchased.
My first unit had this problem too. I really loved the phone but couldn't stand the tint so I got a replacement unit. My replacement unit at first had the same problem on greys, but I wasn't interested in shipping it back because I had to import my phone to Australia (no official Oneplus store). So I decided to get rid of the grey in the system ui by using a pitch black substratum theme, and I never saw the problem again, even on grey. I even went looking for it the other day and still couldn't see anything worse than what I see on my galaxy tab s6 also with an amoled display. Either recent updates fixed the issue, or I just got charmed by the otherwise gorgeous display. I am not too salty about it at all personally.
My screen is great, no issues.
No issues on mine.
In fact not had any of the issues ever mentioned about the 1+8pro
Apologies to the OP, but I have to join the chorus here. I got my 8 Pro on the second, "pre-launch", and one of the first things I did upon receiving it was inspect the screen for the noted problems. Couldn't find one flaw and the display itself is simply beautiful. Best Android on the market, at the moment, imo.
I have to agree with the ones with a seemingly perfect display.
Got mine on launch and it's the best android phone I've ever owned.
I had mine pre-ordered and been using since day one. Not a single problem with the screen. In fact it's the best one I have ever had on a phone. Looks amazing. No issues here.
Got mine at launch. Tried all the tests I read here and had no problems. Beautiful display. The people that have problems are always the loudest. That doesn't mean it's everyone or even particularly widespread

Anyone having the black crush issue? I can see it when watching movies. Dark areas tend to go all black losing the detail. I can see more detail on my 3yr old samsung s8. Plus front cam looks softer than my s8 too. Any thoughts?

Yes and the crush is worse on the latest update 10.5.9.

Do you think it's a software issue? I surely envy those guys who got a perfect panel.

I think it's HW. I don't think there is a perfect panel either, I think people just aren't looking for it or testing for it.

Exactly this. People saying that their panel is perfect is because they don't use dark themes with grey backgrounds

Why is it hard to believe people actually have a great screen?
I have had my 8pro since release day and haven't noticed any issues, I use dark mode on everything, I have wallpapers of all colours including greys, now, if you tell me I haven't look hard enough, then that's your problem. I absolutely love my phone and the screen. Best I've ever owned.
The phone is not without faults, but comments like yours assume that everyone has experienced the same things as you... Could it be the light receptors in your eyes are faulty? Cos my 20/20 vision has yet to see any green tint, and crushed blacks on my handset.

How can OP release FW updates that affect every phone to try and fix the display, but your phone is fine? They even admitted it to Android Police. There's literally commits in the source altering the gamma levels!
