Color saturation & accuracy - Nokia 7 Plus Real Life Review

I need to say that color accuracy is not good. I had a Nexus 5X and a low cost Lenovo K5 before and both had problems maybe with blue and green but the Nokia 7 Plus has problems with ALL colors and with red. The picture is over saturated overall which makes already rich saturated pictures with people's skin look like ORANGE colored skin! I mean adding saturation to pictures is sometimes okay but not to all pictures especially when skin gets orangish/red!
Everything would not bother me if the Android dev team would allow color correction and/or saturation correction in Android. Instead they refuse to put this kind of fine granular color correction in their base Android and Nokia 7 plus has no option to change this (in my eyes) display error.
I could correct this issue a little (but not good) with the paid app screen balancer but it has many down sites (because it's a layer on top of all apps).
Please Nokia offer us more color correction options. As a photographer I feel a little insulted by oversaturated pictures and no option to change that. Maybe I will return this phone because a little better color accuracy is something I value highly.

Please ignore this message.
I mistook this thread to be the one for camera pictures (accuracy & saturation).
I think rating a camera based on one particular camera app (in above case - Nokia camera app), isn't totally fair.
If you would use Gcam mod, you will notice the difference in saturation & accuracy being delivered much better. Same hardware, different software.
I use the Gcam mod, and so far have observed rightly-saturated pics with a good balance of color temperatures (most of the times).
With Gcam Pixel3 Mod camera, I will easily vote the color saturation and accuracy at 90%.
Cheers,
Sony.

This whole thread is about the display not the camera. Camera is a completely different topic.

I completely missed that part!
Apologies.

Any idea how I can desaturate the display? I mean, there is an sRGB slider in the dev options, but it doesn't do anything, and resets itself. The display, well is not decently calibrated.

Yes, also noticed this slider. It resets itself all the time and I also don't know if it does something because this reset is near instand.
Theoretical this app could be a good solution when the phone would be rootable (but apparently the bootloader can only be unlocked by paying to some strange guys):
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.xda.sa2ration
Best would be if Nokia itself allows saturation slider in some settings app
The pro version of "screen balancer" in play store could also help but if you exaggerate you loose deep black levels
TL;DR no good solution currently.

Thanks for replying. That is a damn shame. Do we know if that is still not possible in the P Beta? Is there anybody who could test this?
Right now I'm not sure if I'll keep this phone, exactly for that reason, so I'm not really doing the flashing thing yet. Thanks again

Btw, I asked Nokia support about this, they said that currently there is no way, but they passed it on to the dev team, maybe they will include the option at some point.

Camera api 2 ON by default ? No need of custom recovery or root ?

Yes. It's on by default but the June update probably broke something and that's why Gcam isn't working.

That's not available in the system software but there's an app available that does that. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.nobar

Color OS Camera VS CM Camera(Examples)

Color OS Camera sample

CM Camera
http://s23.postimg.org/lobcj026z/IMG_20150512_134220.jpg
Now, you people judge which is the better quality picture of the two.
For me, COLOR OS has natural colors but CM Camera gives a bit more punchier colors. Clarity is great on both.
How can we decide... it's not the SAME photo on a tripod, and for sure you focused a different point in each, so different exposure for sure...
Only clear difference, it's that Cm Camera have more saturated colors than the "natural" coloros camera..
Cm Camera looks better to me...
Also, the resolution has been reduced so the actual image compression can't be compared.
I reckon that you maybe used the modded camera next which increased saturation by default.
In all my comparisons there were no visible differences between the color os and cm camera
when equally setup on auto mode.
Second photo has increased saturation (see leaves) and contrast (see sky). That's the whole difference. Reduce those parameters and you will see no difference
The examples are kind of pointless. As many pointed out - not original size, not the same composition/focus point.
As for CM camera Saturation and contrast is increased, but it can be set accordingly (at least in CMNextMOD).

Color saturation & accuracy

Seems pretty spot on to me. Not as good a iPhones or Samsungs here though.
I haven't spent too much time with newer phones, but this screen is, in all ways, better than my S8, especially with color accuracy. This is compared to an editing monitor using tested and certified color settings.
Saturation on this phone feels more natural overall. It's not trying to always wow you with overblown vibrancy, unless you actually choose to set it that way, which is possible in settings.
This screen leans a tiny bit towards the greens at times, but it really depends on the image. Whites are solid, unlike my S8.
Color shift is excellent compared to the S8, I'm sure most newer amoled's can say that.
Overall a great screen, let's hope it can resist burn-in!
Hi guys
Some reviews have stated that the display is pretty inaccurate, is that what you guys see?

Mine is very accurate, moreso than my S8, whose screen recieved amazing reviews across the board. After reading customer reports, I've come to believe the S8 screens had consistency problems in manufacturing, and some screens looked much worse than others. Considering my G8 screen looks awesome, but some others say otherwise, I wonder if LG has similar inconsistencies?
It could also be perception. For years now, I've been using monitors that are proven accurate, and have always found Samsung/Apple phone color profiles to alter saturation and tone toward a pleasant 'wow' instead of actual, measurable color accuracy.
Plus, I've read somewhere that LG and Samsung are both suppliers for Apple phone displays. Keeping that in mind, I'm willing to bet that the differences we see now are more due to tuning than panel manufacturer, and we're now dealing with critiques based on personal preference, much like headphones. Just speculation, but it certainly seemed that way as I sampled different phones in the stores.
Tv
I've got the phone now and from my point the view it seems perfectly fine for my eyes.
Terrible accuracy especially when compared to my v20. Gamma levels are fuuuuuuuuuuucked on this display
I have two lg g8 and one shows no problems but the other shows yellow shades around the edges. It has happened to me with previous LG like LG V40, LG V50.

Hello from Germany. For me the display shows too much red. Even after trying to correct it in settings.

you can use a custom kernel and adjust the colour saturation with FK kernel manager app.
I've chatted with Huawei and they will answer me soon. My wife also uses a P30 Pro and her phone is less red. When using another kernel there will be problems with guarantee? I think root is necessary?
I'm coming from Samsung. Please excuse my silly questions ?
The first picture shows the phone of my wife next to mine. Both P30 Pro. Hers Breathing Crystal, mine aurora.
The second picture shows my phone next to a Galaxy S8.
Same problem. Red color is blind. I had Mate 10Pro and display was better then P30Pro. There are Red color so bad. Red not Red is so dark.
Red not red. Bad color quality.
I have sent mine for repair to ECC. The result: everything is fine. Nothing to repair. And Huawei said that they can do nothing for me. I am very mad...

So what exactly is the issue with your display?? Both displays look great.
And I have taken a closer look on my display. It is absolutely fine - like on your pictures.
But I'm using "Standard" (Normal) colour tone, because "Lively" (Lebhaft) looks unnatural vibrant.
So try this first, use "Normal", NOT "Lebhaft"!
Edit: You mentioned, you're coming from a Samsung device? Yeah, there's your issue XD
Samsung phones are oversaturated (viel zu bunt!)
Edit 2: Did you have "Eye care" (Augen schonen) enabled? It makes white more "yellowish".
I sell P30Pro and bought S10+. Display is better. Color are so nice. Not bad red like on my P30Pro.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing..
are you sorry for something?
expecially from the point of view of the photographic sector?
How display is more comfortable and pleasant to view?
What about the battery?

Color saturation & accuracy

I'd rather have accurate colors than saturated ones, so I go Natural.
I read somewhere on here that the "Vivid" and "Natural" settings use the wide colour gamut, but the advance settings do not.
I switched from s10+ and trust me, 7pro display is better, especially when it comes to calibration. P3 doesn't exist on Samsung devices, and white point is never quite right, it's always yellowy.
Is anyone else running into an issue where, after setting their screen to Natural, it slowly creeps toward Vivid over the next 5 minutes? This is annoying when trying to take accurate photos because I have to constantly reset the color by switching away from Natural then back to it. This is on the current system update (10.3.4.GM21AA).
Other than that, it looks pretty good on Natural except for the reds, which could use some desaturation.

Ice Bear has experience this ever since OnePlus pushed out the Android 10 update. The color calibration resets from natural to whatever profile is the one chosen after locking the screen. It will stay that way even after unlocking. If Ice Bear does not change it manually, it will stay that.

The problem I'm having is, even if I change it manually, it will just gradually move toward vivid (even more saturated than that actually) as I use the phone. Nothing else settings-wise touched, it just...shifts. It's really strange.
I'm using the custom setting with a warmer tint and amoled wide-gamet. The vivid mode brightens the darker parts of images which I don't like.
So, how do I actually see the ratings?
I saw them a year ago, but now they seem gone...
On the topic:
I find the display too colorful. Everything is more colorful than in reality, making people more addictive to their phone. Help appreciated on how to change this via software, tried already some night-color apps but none could serve my needs.

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Realme 7 Pro come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).

Camera performance in day light is amazing. Low light photos are average.
And I feel flashlight brightness is little low, does anyone of you feel the same?
Is it hardware probs or software flaw?

Hi,
May I ask you about outdoor visibility........ on a sunny day of course. And in general how would you rate screen brightness and screen reflection?
Sorry to barge on you with questions but I'm on the verge of ordering the phone but can't go check it myself (Covid lockdown)
Thanks
I find it quite bright, though haven't tried in sunshine, as most days are cloudy at the moment.
I think the screen is very good - the fuzzy parts are more to do with audio in video. and for me a slightly unfocused shot at times (gcam is ok though and you can customise lib settings.
I've heard the UI 2 (android 11) - beta which should be out sometime soon - has deteriorated the photo experience overall.
some are asking to downgrade back to 10. you can read the realme forums.

Thanks,
My experience is, mostly, updates are meant to force you to buy new phone. I haven't done system update on any of my phones in last 8 years. My 2 year old Redmi note 7 is still on Android 9 and everything works perfectly. But I'm looking to switch back to Amoled.
Are there some other Realme 7/Pro forums, cause here I saw barelly any comments?
i have a similar pattern, i just moved from lg v20/oreo after 3 years. root and customisation are the must have.
i moved to RM7 pro because of price, no bloat, rootable (soon) and wanted to try an amoled.
not much of interest about RM7P around the web. so i come here or peek at the realme board or google/reddit. i'm assuming things will move once the bootloader and kernel are released.

It only has single tone flashlight, any phone with dual or even quad can outmatch 7 pro's flash brightness
