Nexus / iPhone 3GS photo comparisons

I would not go that far. It's more likely HTC used various versions or different manufactures for the display. Similar to Apple with the iPhone. If you hold two up next to one another you can clearly see a different hue and tint depending on the screen. At first people panicked but then it became well known about the different screens. Non-issue.

Maybe not for you, but it's an issue for me. Images look bad on this device.

One thing I have noticed, at least on my N1, is that images either captured, or displayed, have a slight reddish tint to them. Took a picture of my son and on the phone, his skin tone has a reddish tint. Uploading to Facebook and skin tone is natural and photo looks good. For as awesome a display as this phone has, it doesn't display colors very naturally. I've seen this reddish tint on the Facebook and various Twitter apps on the device as well.

Any way to calibrate the display?

I just read on the Google support forum (A) its software related and they plan to fix it in an update - but that was dated 1/26 (B) do a reset, set your white balance to incandescent or whatever. It is the Auto setting that was giving some people problems.

For the record, I don't notice it on mine but then again I am not looking for it.

posted from the same thread:

"Hi Sarah. I am a Google employee. We worked hard with HTC to put a new lens correction table and image tuning settings in ERE27. We tested on the several Nexus One and the pink pattern was improved. The new lens correction should improve the vignetting in incandescent lighting more. Since we change the settings, we need to see the pictures on build ERE27, not the pictures on previous builds. Besides, we need to see the lighting from the pictures. And ktwebb68 said the problem is almost fixed, so the fix should improve for some Nexus One.

Thanks, but it's not just related to images taken with the camera. Its system wide across apps like Facebook and Twitter apps. If there was an easy way to take screenshots I would.

Screenshots would do you no good as the color would not appear on them. No other camera to take pictures with? Or if you are so concerned about this I'd contact HTC/Google and request your phone be swapped out.
