Night Sight - Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

I noticed Night Sight looks incredible on my phone. But if I pull it on my monitor, it looks horrible. Am is doing something wrong, or is this just how it is? Pic looks great on Pixel, but looks like this on my CPU.

Pixel 2 XL screen massively crush black so you can't see those fine details in Black.
Your PC probably don't crush it.

And that right there is why sir. The resolution of your monitor is much less than the pixel. Especially when the image is 12.2mp.

You're welcome. Just keep that in mind with monitors. A lot of times there lower resolution than phone screens. Images won't be as nice looking because of this.

Screen banding (vertical lines)?

I was just wondering if any other owners noticed that the Nexus S has considerable more vertical banding than their previous handset.
My previous phone was a Vibrant and the Nexus seems much worse? Like when you pull the notification bar down you can see the vertical bands against the dark background or if you look at the background of the Gallery. It's very noticeable so I'm wondering if my phone is the only one like this or if it is a common issue with this phone?
Errr take a picture :S
Sounds like stuff related to pentile, and Nexus S not having the mDNIe part of the Super AMOLED screen, compared to other Galaxy S phones.
I saw the same thing...but its the touchwiz gallery has inhancements that make it look better.....watch on your vibrant pic an image side by side with your nexus....watch how when you click on the image it looks just like the nexus dose then it inhaces it where the ribbons dissopear....I've done it so I know...try it out

Noticed the same thing on my Samsung Focus.
It may just be the image quality of your picture, but mine is not nearly as bad as that. In fact mine is hardly even noticeable.
I exchanged mine with another one. The banding on my first one was more noticeable than the picture in this thread. The new has it a little bit but it is much clearer.

Any comments on the notification LED?

There is an LED at the bottom of the phone, but there is a dearth of photos showing how bright it is or whether it can emit various colors. Any other comments out there?
Wow if there was led notifications it would be the perfect phone.

I'm really interested about this feature ! If anyone have an information tell us!
Pretty sure it's a similar RBG LED as the Galaxy Nexus, you can see it's at the bottom of the phone below the screen. At the vert least we know it's there as the manual says it is!

Take it for what it's worth.
I think the GNex set the standard on this one, the ED will be a part of the bottom bezel.

2nd paragraph neat the bottom they state its RGB but I will look more.

Bummer. I wish more people would center the FFC. Or at least angle the camera so you don't have to offset the phone while video chatting or taking pictures. The FFC on the Nexus 4 is all the way on the right.

[Q] Doubt about camera

I love everything about my s4 except one thing. Have you ever noticed that the S4 camera is like if already had a zoom? I don't know very well how to explain it but when my friends with other devices take a picture from the same point than me, their pics look like more wide, and my pictures look like if they had been zoomed a bit. That bothers me a bit cuz sometimes I don't have enough space for group pictures or any other else and I must step back a little bit more than other to get the same picture.
Does this happens also with your s4 devices? Or I might be the only one experiencing this 'issue'?
Sincerely,
Fernando

Hello not had an android HU before, but have an android phone and iPhone etc .
I think this screen is a bit dull in comparison, on a video it looks ok but in the flesh it’s much duller colours.
The last image is the HU own screen shot and under is the actual screen and my Galaxy for comparison.
It’s a PX5 unit.
Cheers

Its because of lower quality screen, and low resolution of the HU.. might want to apply some app for tweak.. but its normal.
Your Iphone/Samsung phones are IPS quality with like 400+ Pixel Per Inch.. compared to much lower of the HU.. <150 Pixel Per Inch.
