Nexus 6P Burn In?

[mhathaway]

I was just wondering if any of the Nexus 6P owners are seeing burn in yet.

I would also like to know this. Im deciding between the 6p and moto x and if there are a lot of cases of burn in on the 6p ill get the moto x.

I have had a nexus 6 since launch and returned 4 of them in the first month because the nav bar would burn in on low brightness in a few days.

I kept the 5th one i had even though it also had burn in

Only had mine about a month, but no sign whatsoever.

No sign at all. I had the Galaxy Nexus which was also an Amoled screen and I never noticed any burn in on that phone either. The 6P has a Samsung AMOLED screen. Samsung has been making them for a very long time, if the GN, which was a 2011 phone, didn't have a problem I really doubt a 2015 display will.

I think it has a Samsung panel so should be similar in performance to Samsung phones and we haven't had many reports on this particular issue.

What was the panel in the nexus 6?

All amoled displays have burn-in especially if there is anything static areas on the screen, ie navi bar. It's important to just keep the screen from being static. Some examples of some shiny new S6 and S6 edge with burn in attached ;-P. These all have burn-in from the demo mode running in the store. Samsung is smart with UI tweaks. Normally there UI doesn't allow for anything static. No on screen Navi buttons for example.

Comparing a model that has a screen on ~12 hours a day displaying the same thing over and over and over isn't exactly real world use. Yes it shows it can happen to the technology but most people aren't running demos on their phones nor are they having the screen on for a straight 12 hours every single day.

Not what i'm doing. People are worried about burn-in. AMOLED screen are susceptible to burn in regardless of manufacture. As it was pointed out to me it's because of the O in AMOLED. They are Organic. They fatigue over time. If you're worried about burn in you probably should avoid AMOLED. I've owned a GNex, S1, S2, S4 and N6. All AMOLED, and all had some type of Burn-in. The majority of the Burn-in being the status bar. You'll never notice it unless you go looking. It's the nature of the beast. I promise you. The 6p's display will have burn-in...give it time.

I have also seen reports of other screens getting it. Any screen can I believe if left on a static screen long enough. So I agree screens (any screen) can get a burn in if left on static images but I don't see it happening for a long while (or as bad) as a demo unit.

I just wish the nav bar wasnt always there in apps that you spend a long time on and especially games that i play for a while like final fantasy vi. Or even if its always there make it not black and just have the buttons. My nexus 6 looks terrible.

Use something like GMD Immersive to hide the bars. No root necessary.
