Nexus 6 - Screen is warm... yellow?

[brett_f]

I got my N6 yesterday and while using Tap and Go, and setting it up side by side with my N5 I noticed that the screen on the N6 is substantially more warm.. with a definite yellow tint.

I really prefer the whites to be white.. so my question is.. Is my phone bad? Or is this normal for an AMOLED screen? Anyone else notice the same on their phone?

Thanks!

Absolutely, my biggest complaint of the phone.

That's the screen they used. Warm and not as bright as other displays.

It doesn't bother me until it's side by side with my Note 4. If you turn off auto brightness it's a little better. My Moto X 2014 is the same way.

Auto brightness on the Nexus 6 is way too aggressive to the dim side. For me it literally destroys the screen. I will only use manual brightness control and set it for current conditions. The new brightness control on the notification shade is superb.

Yeah that's normal of this screen unless you're seeing major discoloration even on full brightness.

I'm pretty picky and I find auto brightness at 50% perfectly good. When I hold it next to my M8, I can certainly see the difference, but when using it, it looks great to me.

My Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is supposed to have a very accurate display and when I hold my N6 beside it there is a huge difference in color.

I solved the problem by never examining them side by side.

Yeah it's obvious when I hold it beside other phones with "whiter" or cooler displays... I don't seem to notice or care if I don't do that. Guess that's my solution.

im holding it next to my daughters nexus 5 and the difference is huge, i think nexus 5 has a better screen, i just wish the battery didnt suck so bad.

Or that the Nexus 5 wasn't so tiny. After using my Nexus 6 for a month I could never go back to something that small.

After just one afternoon with the 6 I went to do a factory reset on my 5 and it had the 5.0 OTA... once it updated I wanted to compare and couldn't believe how small it was in comparison... After a month my 6 feels like a everyday "Normal" sized phone.... Almost doesn't seem big at all anymore.... That is until my daughter hands me her iPhone 4S.... YIKES!!!!!

It's the Nexus "style"

I know how you feel. I came from the 2013 Moto X but now I'm so used to the Nexus's size. My friend handed me her iPhone 6 the other day and I mistook it for the iPhone 5. Even that felt small in comparison.

Download kernel adiutor...yes, spelled like that. If you are rooted, you can increase blue saturation and viola, no more yellow tint! Just found this app today...works great on my nexus 6 running CyanogenMod.
