How does the Nexus 6P Amoled screen compare to Galaxy S6 Super Amoled?

[karmamule]

I don't know if it will be the same on the 6p, but IIRC on Samsung devices you had the ability to change between different modes (more saturation, more accurate color, etc) similar to what they have on HDTVs (cinema mode, sports more, gaming mode, etc) that adjust the colors for the image being displayed. However, since stock Android usually doesn't have those options, well probably be left with how it's set from the factory.

That's right, if you don't like the highly saturated default choice Samsung phones let you change it in settings. I wish more phones had that feature!

and that setting was on stock Lollipop on the Moto X Pure Edition (Vibrant or Normal) and I believe I've seen hands on with the 6p show the same setting. So, Vibrant for the over saturation of colors, and Normal for the accurate color display.

I'll try to find the hands on video that showed this setting on the 6p (unless I was imagining it). Also, I do recall a hands on saying the colors looked very accurate and crisp.

EDIT:
"Unfortunately, the Nexus 6 shipped with a very poorly calibrated AMOLED display with low brightness. When I first used the Nexus 6P I was very upset to see that it was clearly oversaturated like the Nexus 6, but there's more to the story this time around. In the Nexus 6P's developer settings there is a switch to enable an sRGB mode, and when this switch is turned on the Nexus 6P's display appears to have similar color rendition to the Nexus 5X which is a very good sign. While we'll need to get a review unit in order to analyze all of the display's attributes, I am hopeful that Google has recognized and fixed the issues with the Nexus 6's display in the Nexus 6P."

I had the XPE and the display was really good, but coming from a note 4 it felt under saturated. The 6p bring amoled whether as good as s6 or not will be a step up in my book.

Motorola has used the term Super AMOLED for their displays. It's not just Samsung that is allowed to use the term..

tried this, and the colors look dull and flat with sRGB

Haven't really looked at a note or s6, but my wife has an s5. Her screen is much brighter and whites are whiter or cooler at the very least. No yellow at all.

Also compared to my galaxy nexus, my 6p is pretty yellow, and completely awful in direct sunlight.

Still, it's been a great phone. Try not to let stuff like this get you down.

given the s6 can switch color modes I'm holding hope google will release more color features - srgb in developer's makes things a little gray for me..

I've got both sitting next to one another, trying to decide between the 2 and the Note 5 is brighter, more vibrant and whiter than the 6P screen. There is no question the panel in the Note 5's are of higher quality than the 6P.

Had both side by side. With auto brightness off and brightness turned all the way up, the S6 is brighter. With auto-brightness on the S6, the screen will boost even further in direct sunlight. I tried both side by side indoors and out with auto-brightness on and off. The S6 was consistently easier to read. The displays might be the same, but the S6 drives theirs higher. That being said, the 6P display is fine.
