Clarity/resolution - Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Real Life Review

The Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 has a crazy crisp display. Just kidding, this is automated text so who knows if this screen is any good. So, you be the judge! A higher rating indicates that it's extremely sharp and clear, and that you cannot see pixels with your naked eye.

The device comes with matte plastic mounted to the LCD . It makes very low quality of the display. I still wait for glass and will not remove plastic to this moment .

I dont think that plastic is to be used.. its only for protection till first use, because as you said, it makes screen look horrible. Just take it off

that plastic is to protect it from scratches during shipping. but the actual display is awesome. a little warm in color temperature by default, but u can adjust it from settings. otherwise its bright and crisp enough for on the go media consumption and comics/ebook reading.

anti-glare screen protector/film?

anyone found a good anti-glare screen protector or film for the Nexus?
the AMOLED is clearly near worthless in direct sunlight... barely readable even at 100% screen brightness setting (which would drain the battery in no time)...
I've tried the Clarivue ones - the 'anti-glare' ones they claim, but all that is is a matte/brushed finish... which just makes the screen look cloudy all the time... definitely reduces the crispness of the screen...
wondering if there is a solution (even if it's "cut your own") for a film that is smooth and glossy, but has an anti-reflective property to it.... maybe even something with some polarized property....
cheers
here in spain its pretty sunny and everytime that I use my N1 while walking I have to but brightness up to maximum. for me its allright like that even thought drains faster the battery.
So you want something glossy...meaning reflective..that has anti-reflective properties.
Got it.
I may have found something... ordered to try...
the 'DayVue' version of their film - 'anti-reflective' and 'anti-glare'... they have a regular 'anti-glare' as well, which I'm presuming is just a matte finish... But the DayVue sounds like it's what I'm looking for...

Something along the lines of 'museum glass'... smooth and glossy yet extremely anti-reflective... just for reference... for those that don't believe you can have a smooth, yet still anti-reflective surface ... http://www.tru-vue.com/Tru-Vue/Products/33/ ...

OyVe... guess I could just get a 3.5' iPhone one and not have the corners covered to see if better... wonder if there is any glare protectors on their website to use with a 3.7' phone that I could order it for and use for the N1
Boxwave makes a pretty decent one. They offer one precut for the N1. I would post a URL but I can't yet.
Any screen protector with anti-glare properties will always make the display slightly cloudy. I got one of boxwave's anti-glare screen protectors for my Moto Cliq and it worked very well. The clouding is very minimal and is hard to notice. It also gives the added benefit of greatly reducing the visibility of fingerprints and smudges.
I just ordered one for the N1 too.

Thank you, might order this today. I wish there were some actual pictures to see the difference...
I just received the boxwave screen protector a few minutes ago. I attached a picture with it applied. It's not a very good picture though. I don't have manual focus on my camera, so it looks more fuzzy than it actually is. I hope this helps a bit though.
I tried it out in near-direct sunlight outside and there's a definite improvement, especially if you increase the screen brightness. It also makes your finger slide across the screen easier. You don't get that grip feeling like on the glass.

Wow
Thank you Thank you I appreciate it... I'll def get it today now because of your great suggestion.
A glossy surface reflects light.
A matte surface diffuses light.
Glare is light.
You can't have both without witchery.

Scratches on display

Hi @ all,
I noticed quite a lot of micro scratches on my phone's display. They are not clearly visible, it depends how the light is shining against the display and on the angle. But I am really disappointed with gorilla glass 5. I own the phone for about 2 and a half months now... I use a case/bumper but no screen protective film but I treat my phone very carefully and it always goes into my pocket without any other things, just the phone. I did the same thing with my older S2, S5 and S7 and never got any scratches.
Is it normal for gorilla glass 5 to scratch so easily? I talked with my vendor and he would swap it for another unit using the warranty. But here comes my question: is the display with the red tint still an issue on new units? Could I risk getting a faulty reddish display? Because then I'd rather stick with my micro scratches and live with it.
Thanks a lot.
Yes, you will probably get a reddish display.
No, it is not faulty, it's just how it is.

I ask this because my display has a good white tone and luckily no reddish tint at all. Is the reddish display still an issue with actual units?

Are you using adaptive display ?
Most displays will show reddish on other modes but white on adaptive.

Yes I am using adaptive display but I had previus units which I returned for reddish display even in adaptive display mode. My actual display is fine, despite some micro scratches... don't know if I should bother returning it again and risking to get a reddish display... don't know if it's worth the risk or just stick with the barely visibile micro scratches. What would you do in my situation?
Scratches are normal. Gorilla Glass 5 traded some surface hardness for more resistance to shattering. Basically, the harder the display the easier it brakes but doesn't scratch so much.
So gg4 was more scratch resistant than gg5. But I'd take a scratches but not broken screen over the other way round...

Thanks for the info To be honest, I really don't know what is worse, having a naked display with some barely visible scratches or "ruin" such a great display with a screen protector. :laugh: I hate screen protective films, these displays are just too awesome and should be enjoyed naked without having the fear of scratching them... I ordered a screen protective film but I don't know yet if I will go through the hassle of putting it on, it just doesn't feel right for me.

I first noticed them in a shop which had very bright and glaring room light. I was looking at my phone while the light was shining directly on the display. It was a coincidence more or less, who knows how long they have been there without me noticing them. In everyday use they are barely to not noticeable at all. Depending on the angle you only notice them with direct sunlight or halogen lamps pointing on the screen while the screen is off. Still, for this price the glass is a disappointment.

Glass feels premium but fragile, slippery, fingerprint magnet and bad conductor of heat compared to metal. Well, people will use a case anyway.
Feels premium, i love the design, very chic and elegant. the black color is really nice fits well.
Yes, the glass is fingerprint magnet.. but anyways i use a case. but sometimes i use it without case just to feel it. the finger print and low bezels is really the best in the market... because it is really small bezel and u dn't need a navigation bar to take part of the screen. so comparing it to other devices it was better. so far didn't notice defects.
Overall it looks great but the paint used on the metal sides isn't great quality. I've NEVER used the phone without the provided case. I took it out to have a look at it for the first time in ages the other day and noticed the phone has scratches all the way down the sides. My assumption is that this is from dust in my pocket getting between the best and the metal frame. First time I've seen this with a phone though.
almost scratch free. really slippery without case. I use a soft leather case to maintain grip. or it would keep on falling
Fell premium. I was happy with quality of materials until 2 days ago, when i try to change SIM card, i put out phone from case, and put on arm rest of sofa. I dont know how it could be possible that phone slip down on wood table. 20cm distance and left corner on alu frame is little sunk.
Screen scratches super fast. I have old Chinese umi super, used it in work no screen protector or case. Never get scratches. My mate 10 just a few times in pocket of jeans got scratches... Horrible.

Uhhh you do realize that there's a factory applied screen protector right?
I took that off the first day of use. I dont like it.. On akl my previous phones never used screen protector. No scratches
I have white spots/circles on the side of the phone. Paint is rubbed away. Not many of them but its still a shame.

The device feels premium, and comfortable to use with one hand. However, I don't suggest that anyone use this device without a case and screen protector. I haven't been using my device for a full 24 hours, and already have cosmetic scratches on the front screen. I don't know how or when it happened, but I see that this Gorilla Glass 5 isn't quite prone to scratches.
My IQ Shield screen protector is coming in the mail today, and I am going to install it as soon as I can. I typically don't like tempered glass because I don't really like the feel of them.

Really? I have been using it without any screen protector for 5 days now. No scratches at all on the front screen despite my kind of rough use. I do recommend a case though. The phone is really slippery and prone to finger prints.
I havnt scratched the screen but i have a tiny nick on the aluminum right next to the camera thats now silver and yeah how the hell did that happen. I have a tech 21 case and everything. Be careful the aluminum

I feel for you friend. I have been using my old Note3 without any case or screen protector and never even a single scratch on screen. And damn it, I got 3 DEEP scratches on this device on the next day of purchase. I felt so upset. Please anyone who owns this device, use a screen protector ASAP.
Quality is top notch. Doesn't feel slippery without the case on, as coming from the LG G4. The Platinum Grey feels more beautiful under the sun.
It's just as you'd expect from a flagship phone.

Feels finally like a high quality device. Feels like a Samsung phone from the touch and feel. They did a great job. I like the frosted glass.
Excellent feeling build. The 2 XL was nice, but the 3 XL takes it to a new level. The glass melts into the polished metal frame. The glass back is smooth with almost a rubbery type feel in the etched area, a more comforting feel than a normal glass back.
Until you scratch it. That glass scratches like butter.

Bull****. It is Gorilla Glass. People just don't understand the difference between scratch and material transfer. What you see in some of the pictures is material transfer from the object that is supposed to scratch the glass. This is probably pronounced because of the rough surface.
Feels really premium. got my phone today !!!
Well it's not iPhone XS Max build quality but it's a damn nice phone. Better than anything Samsung has to offer right now in my opinion. And samsung seems to be kind of hardware for Android at the moment
This is way better than the 2xl. In every sense it's more premium, the display seems much more up to par with other devices, and it's ultra fast.
anyone have any issues with the P3XL power button i feel like its super fimsy... like i have to click the center of the button otherwise it just won't activate..
