I don't know if its me, the device or just the screen. Cause my IPS screen on my nexus 7 is just not beating my Samsung galaxy s2,3 and my galaxy nexus's super amoled screen. The colors on the IPS just looks so washed out and plain if you compare it to a screen that has super amoled. Anyone done this yet? Compare the colors? Cause the screen just makes a huge difference lol. Unless my nexus 7 is defected.... I think it would have been a lot better if it was made by Samsung instead of Asus. Samsung super amoled just kills any other screens

This does not have a great screen. It's a cheap tablet, lower your expectations.

Even if it was 4-500$ I'd still buy it. I Love pure Google products

Go watch Transformers at 40-50% brightness then come back. The screen is fine.
It isn't superb but rather alright.

No you wouldn't. If the N7 was sub 500....I wouldn't touch it I doubt the swarm thats attacking it would either. That's what sets it apart its price.
Its too barebones IMO to be that much. Plus build quality isn't up to par. (Glass isn't scratch resistant, Crap speakers, Flickering, At least a option for a Cell radio ect) all my opinion.
I even noticed a slight burn in too....

It's higher resolution, but low brightness. Consider yourself a Best Buy salesman's dream customer.
Its ok for me bu not the best, but it can be fjxed with a future kernel(s). On the nexus there is franco and trinity kernel. With them i cn adjust colour
Red
Green
Blue
There is gamma adjustment
And contrast adjustment.
With all of these you can get your personal setting. It wont be long before we start to see ths kind of stuff for the n7.

These kinds of adjustments are only possible on AMOLED screens.
Super amoled screens are not the best.
The HTC EVO 4G LTE has the best screen in the market now. Just saying..
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Tegra 3 has some battery saving feature called PRISIM/DIDIM which boosts colors/contrast in order to reduce backlight consumption. There doesn't appear to be a way to disable it. When I watch a movie for 30 secs or so and return to the home screen I notice that the boosted colors/contrast still remains until I power off the screen. I hope Nvidia and Google make the feature optional by way of a firmware update. Other than that the tablet is quite decent.
Am I the only one who isn't keen on the superamoledplusomgwtfbbq screens?
After using my N7 and going back to my GS2 I think it looks way too over saturated and just a little bit ridiculous. I much prefer the screen on this, amoled screens to me look like when you're photoshopping a picture and accidentally slip while adjusting the saturation and set it to max.

The Nexus 7 uses the same beautiful, amazing screen as the 3rd generation iPad. The N7 has a lower native resolution obviously, but the underlying technology is identical between both devices.

Not at all. If you compare colour contrast and saturation between the two, you'll notice that the Nexus 7 looks much less vibrant than the new iPad.

This should simply be because the new iPad has a higher pixel density than the Nexus 7. Higher pixel densities lead to higher color saturation since there's less empty space between the pixels and more colorful pixels to fill that space. The underlying screen technology should still be the same (IPS).
I really don't like the amoled screens. Their colour accuracy is just horrible. Cracking the saturation to 11 does not make a screen good. The amoleds on S2s that I've seen have all kinds of horrible colour casting. White is a sort of blueish colour. Give me a decent IPS panel any day of the week.
I've always been a bit fussy about colour accuracy. Calibrize is a good little programme for the PC that lets you get the colours roughly right.
This thing is competing with the Kindle Fire and whatever they bring out. It's a "Play Store" device, pushing magazines and books. It's perfect for it's purpose.
Open up a book on this thing and it looks great. Crisp and sharp text, even if the home screen does look a little under saturated.
Agreed, Home screen is is not well saturated. Netflix and several other apps look very well saturated. I would say its pretty typical for IPS.
Nothing beats amoled for contrast/blacks though.

Hey guys, I've just moved over from an S3 and have some questions. Any help is appreciated.
1. With a higher PPI, I assumed the screen would be more clearer. The colors are washed and the picture quality is not as good as the S3. What is better is text. It seems sharper, but pictures looked washed and not as good as the S3. I've noticed a thread with changing the RGB values, and have tried to the app to change the values, but I it is still not as good as the S3. Can anything be done to resolve this?
2. Wireless Charging - i want to be able to do this, but I have seen the Nokia chargers are a little hit and miss. Which ones work 100%?
3. High battery drain. Which is the best kernel to use with AOKP?
Many thanks for your help guys
1. Use faux kernel with faux app
2. qi chargers other than nokia
3. faux kernel and his app + his values
4. use q and a thread
Once you've used nexus for a while, the s3 screen will look cartoon and awful seriously. Put a really good HD colourful background pic on homescren and use phone for a few weeks and you'll never ever go back to amoled screens unless you really really love cartoons lol.
As for battery drain, this will improve but faux kernels are excellent

To be honest, I m in the same situation as you.
The screen, I think we ll get used to it, my wife still got her S3, and it is not natural in another way . But agreed that the screen is "pale".
The worst is the battery, as soon as the screen is used, the drain is just so huge....
BUT
The SGS3 is no new phone, remember, so I m sure the N4 will get better in the battery front.
The possibilities of developpement fun will make up for it, because after all, that s why we are here on XDA, right?

I was happier when I had my S3, as there was plenty of development
but since I upgraded to the S3 LTE, the development was limited and I got frustrated. Also my S3 LTE kept dropping reception and it was getting really annoying so I got rid of it
The AMOLED screen on the S3 is seriously a joke. Colors are over saturated and as someone else already said, it looks cartoonish.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I can see the appeal in the AMOLED screens Samsung uses. They do produce some vibrant colors. Comparing my old Captivate (SGS1) to my Nexus 4 is even a pretty stark difference. Honestly, though, I have come to prefer the less saturated look on the N4.
I came from the S3, the only things I really miss are the camera and the battery.
The camera is amazing on the S3, the pictures were always much sharper than the pictures taken with the N4, the N4 does take VERY nice pictures with ample light.
The battery on the S3 seemed to be a lot better, and drain much slower...I'm REALLY hoping that this gets fixed with 4.2.2....
After using the N4 since its initial release looking at the S3 screen is...bad (IMO), I LOVED the S3, but the screen on the N4 is a lot brighter, clearer and seems to have more natural colors.
For kernel, I recommend the latest faux beta kernel, has amazing battery life for me and has also been relatively stable. It has one issue for me, sometimes the phone just doesn't wake up after I turned off the screen, but that's only in rare cases and really no big deal.
You should also use the faux app from the Play Store, it's a bit expensive imo but it's worth it since you can do all kinds of stuff with it from undervolting to setting the screen calibration.
Speaking of screen calibration: The stock one is really not that goot, especially the whites and overall colours on lower brightness looked a bit weird to me sometimes. But I changed the calibration a bit and it looks awesome and just "true" (again, to me personally). I'll post my calibration here, maybe you can try it. I took it from a spreadsheet where it said it would be calibrated just like a MacBook Pro screen which is supposed to be perfectly calibrated:
Red 255, Green 255, Blue 255. Gamma Amp0: Red 19, Green 21, Blue 24. Gamma Amp1: Red 1, Green 2, Blue 3.
I hope it helps.
Like some previous comments stated, the amoled screens are OVER saturated to the max.
As far as the battery life, I would look into juicedefender. Works great for me.
My Note 2's screen looks much more similar to my Nexus 4's screen when screen mode is set to "Natural." Does the S3 have a similar setting to make the AMOLED vibrancy less jarring?

As for battery, wait 'til the honeymoon is over. It lasts plenty. Unless you have NOW enabled.
I'm considering buying a Nexus 4 now that it's back in stock and I can afford it. I've no need for the phone at all but just really like everything about it. Currently using an S3 also... anyone who owned both care to share opinions?
I've been a GS3 user from release date. I was on AOKP for the longest that I wanted to try the real deal. I just got my Nexus 4 two days ago and I love everything about it except the camera. GS3 camera wins hand down. The screen on the Nexus 4 is amazing and you won't want to look at your Samsung anymore.

The phones are equally good in my opinion. If you like touch wiz, stay with the s3. If you like stock android, want more Dev support, and don't want to put up with Samsung's slow updates then go with the nexus. I personally prefer my nexus because I want the updates from Google and not the OEM's, and I'm a flashaholic.

Well the Nexus 4 is a lot faster and the screen doesn't look so weird like the S3. The N4 feels a little different in the hand - much better build quality on the N4 but the tapered edges of the S3 are a little nicer on the hand. You will definitely like the N4, it feels like quality kit in your hand and performance is excellent.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I got my N4 2 days ago. Before that I owned an S3. When I first looked at the N4's screen, it was very strange, it seemed pale to me, and I missed the accurate blacks from Amoled. But after one day I got used to it, and began to like it more and more. It's very sharp, and clean. The build quality is much better, and more solid than the S3.Imo it is beautiful with its minimal design.
The peformance is better, not a single app redraw or anything... Battery... For me it lasts from morning 7 till I arrive at home at 7 pm, and still has some energy in it (approx. 20%). On the way to work I listen to music and read forums for 1 hour, and I repeat this on the way home too. During the work, I send a few emails, some facebook, and every service is on. I don't think it would be so bad... Day by day I like my N4 more and more.
Hey everyone,
Long time follower but first poster on this particular forum, am on the cusp of ordering a nexus 4 but slightly concerned about some reports concerning the colour calibration/washed out status of the screen. Just wandering if anyone here who has purchased/seen a RECENTLY bought nexus 4 and can report on whether this issue has been fixed/improved at all?
It's the only thing that stopping me from purchasing as I'm used to the saturation and 'pop' of my 4s and don't want to trade down so to speak.I have a nexus 7 and the colours are very washed out so I'm hoping it's at least better than that. I know of course about the display control app etc but I don't really want to root to be honest.
Thoughts?

You don't realise the screen is washed out until you either compare it with another phone or calibrate the screen and see the true potential of the display
@OP, some people said that things got better with the 4.2.2 update but if I were you I would definitely root and install a calibrated kernel.

To be honest the screen was completely unacceptable to me when I bought the phone. Rooting and installing kernels with color/gamma control definitely changed my mind. I know you don't want to root, but the phone is awesome in every other aspect. Of highly recommend buying it and installing a custom kernel as well.

If you're coming from the 4S, or Galaxy phone with an AMOLED screen, and especially if you can't stand the Nexus 7 screen.. you will not appreciate the Nexus 4 display.
However, if you are not opposed to rooting and tweaking the display then you're good to go.

Ok thanks guys - will have an extended test in store tomorrow and come to a conclusion. Still uneasy but all this custom kernal stuff as it's a bit above my intellectual pay grade but I love the look of the nexus so maybe I'll force myself to start learning/experimenting outside the comfort zone so to speak.
Thanks again
I keep reading negative posts about it, but I LOVE this phone. I came from a one plus and while the battery isn't as good I still get at least 4 hours of SOT with a superior screen. The build is great and camera seems just as good. Its not great but its more than capable for a mobile device. Quick charge is AWESOME. I can't be the only one.

Nope, you're not alone. The Nexus 6 is the best fondleslab I've ever used.
Love it to death. Would buy again.
Nope, I am exactly the same. Came from a oneplus one to the nexus, gave the oneplus to the wife. I like everything better on the nexus except battery was a little better on the OPO. At least the xda threads and any other forums to do with the nexus are helpful and fairly Kind, unlike that oneplus forum that is just full of whiners and people who can't be arsed reading anything at all then ***** when they make a mistake.
Nexus is a very cool phone.

My biggest gripe
When google/motorola decided to release a almost 6inch nexus device, they should have added a phablet style os. I dont really know but something that made use of the screen. Some type of added features.
Great phone overall, little overpriced but would easily last years. I dont judge phones but SOT(never understood this, use it and it dies) but it gets me through a work day with 15% after 10hrs.
Yall should sticky Turn off adaptive brightness. Pink/Yellow screen was a turn off.

If not I and a million others have a different phone.
When I say phablet ui, Im thinking something similar to tablet ui(my note 10.1 2014 is on kitkat) Maybe google went away with that since lollipop. Ultimately slight tweaks to take advantage of the screen.
This is my first true nexus device. Its pure android i know just a bit boring. I know i know thats the point.
I see what you mean when I turn down the brightness it gets yellow. Feels good on the eyes when you're in a dark room though. I'm in a room right now with only the TV on, no lights And the screen doesn't look yellow at all. If I turn adaptive brightness off it feels like I'm looking at the sun.

Yeah coming from a mx4 pro and note 4 made the screen appear dim. Adaptive brightness is great for moments like you mentioned.
Reason I mentioned it, most reviewers said negative things about the screen. 99% probably didn't turn off the filter. Screen is bright and vivid without it.
Had the z2 before with the ****ed up built quality. Creaking everywhere and was just a matter of time until the phone cracked. Sold it and bought nexus 6 and never looked back. Great solid phone with great built quality.
And no, the camera is just fine and more than decent.
I absolutely love my nexus 6, and my battery life's been awesome so far I can get a full day out of it without any problems. That's listening to music most days and occasional screen on time.
No.
I'm loving my n6 on T-Mobile. I came from a Verizon GS4 on T-Mobile. Love how easy it is to do anything and everything on it. WiFi calling is icing on the cake. Been jealous of the wife's iPhone WiFi calling ability.
I challenge anyone on XDA to find a better all around flagship device! I here so much that the price was so high but I'm fine with it. The last couple Nexus devices were enjoyable but let's be real for a second the were flagship like!!!! That's still not flagship. The Nexus brand is my favorite brand of phone but with every nexus I had I ended up going to another phone usually before half a year was up. Once or twice I did come back then GI away again lol its hard to remember when you've had so many flagship phones. With the Nexus 6 nothing has been able to pry it out of my hands. Honestly I like it so much that I find it hard to think about getting the next Nexus phone. Of. Course the next Nexus will be better but they may get rid of some very nice pieces from the Nexus 6. Front facing speakers may not make a return although I hope they do. The 5.2 inch is confirmed but that 5.7 inch is just rumors and that would be a huge hit to take in screen size. LG doesn't use amoled which I wouldn't like. Battery life probably would be as nice but I can't say for sure. I guess we will see soon enough. I almost forgot the software experience on Nexus devices which crushes everything else accept Motorola devices.
I personally would have preferred it a bit smaller, Moto Maxx (international Droid Turbo) would have been a better Nexus in that regard, but the extra size occasionally comes in handy for man hands, and the rest of the device is top notch. By far, my biggest concern going into the Nexus 6 was the amoled display, since my last phone was an amoled and seriously made my eyes bleed it was such crap, but turns out that even with the fake 2560x1440 RGBG (true R and B resolution of 2560x720, only G is the full res), that it is enough to overcome general amolededness.
I like mine a lot! I would not like anything smaller. Perfect size!
The only change I would ask for would be a bigger battery but it is not bad and charges REALLY FAST.
Always love nexus but do miss the little refinements of the moto software additions. Moto assist and display are the primary two. I have good alternatives but it's missing a few key features.

Yeah...never notice any issues due to the subpixel layout. Thing about it....720 pixels in about 3 inches is 240 pixels per inch, and it only matters on near pure blue or red. I guess if you have a bunch of solid red vertical lines it would be noticeable.q
Best phone ever for me. I came from a note 2 as I upgrade every other year. I have other "toy" habits like musical instruments that I also spend discretionary funds on
The other thing I love is that I am a free agent for plans. So if I get dissatisfied I can change in a heartbeat.

The greatest phone I've ever owned!!!! Unless someone makes another 6" phone with front facing speakers, I think I'll have the nexus for a long long time. If things keep getting updated and supported, I'm happy, and just the fact that I don't have to wait months or a year for an os update really makes me feel like I made a great investment instead of something that will be "behind" after one update

Tittle says it all. How many nits or brightness is the screen, my phone auto corrected the tittle. Didn't realize how terrible my g2 is and its impossible to use outside which is where I am most of the time. 260 was max on nexus 6 I believe and it was just too low. S6 has something crazy like 560 so I'm hoping for something like that.
The Z3 can reach 600, one of the best screen I ever had for outdoor. the Note 5 can reach 861.
Some say the 6P has the exact panel as the Note 5, so hope for the best.

I'm not sure that's why I'm asking. Maybe it's a technical detail somewhere or in a spec sheet or possibly it gets tested somehow?
Some Googling tells me the 6P has the same screen panel as the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.
But the Gorilla Glass on the 6P is glossier than the Galaxy's, so outside viewing suffers from more glare.
I have not been able to find out total NIT's yet, nor if the 6P can get the "extra bright" brightness that the Galaxy phone's Auto Brightness offers on top of manual brightness.

this page says even the nexus 5 had a higher brightness than the nexus 6.
I'd be really disappointed if the 6p isn't at least above 500..
Gamercore from Phandroid via twitter and the guy that reviewed it from gsmarena via twitter. He actually did the test for the nits.

This review says the 6p averages 337 nits and complained about a dim screen. I thought other reviews said it was fine in direct sunlight?

These reviews really need to mention whether they are disabling the Adaptive Display setting. Because AFAIK, the display gets brighter when this setting is disabled.

i've been wondering this as well. it's interesting you say this because according to other sources, Samsung devices are able to get brighter with Adaptive Display turned on and the display set to auto brightness. so, is it opposite for the 6P?
