The Pixel 3 uses LG / 3 XL uses a Samsung screen panel

Re: The Pixel 3 and 3 XL use a Samsung screen panel

While I ordered the 3XL for the new TMobile bands, my 2XL screen is spectacular, while there were probably a few bad batches of the LG panel, the whole episode seemed completely overblown.

Never had issues with my 2xl either

Well now... Why would Samsung sell their best screens to competitors? So while technically the Pixels screens are Samsung, they are perhaps an inferior batch compared to what Samsung uses in their own phones.
Samsung sells their screens because they're a business and want to sell as many screens to their customers as they can. Wouldn't make sense to sell inferior screens to their customers.

I don't believe there's any evidence of them being inferior to the panels used in the iPhone XS or Galaxy S/Note 9. Of course during the manufacturing, there will be minor differences between panels, but I don't believe (or at least there's no evidence of) ad 'bad' or lower binned batch being given to Google for the Pixels.

The display has gotten an A+ from DisplayMate which indicates it's likely the same panels the Galaxy S/Note 9 and iPhone XS use.

maybe its just that phone ?or there's more out that have the issue?

I went to 7 different Best Buy locations to compare. Each location was EXACTLY the same.

Ordered a 3, I hope this is a weird setting in demo mode that is using that night light feature.

You can see what he's talking about in the Gizmodo review..

The 2 Pixels by the window towards the bottom.

“There’s also a small concern regarding quality control because after turning them on for the first time, I noticed that the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL’s OLED screens featured noticeably different color temperatures, which only gets worse the more off-center you are.”

Ughhh...really? I was all excited they got it right this time. Thankfully I don’t care how it looks at angles but still annoying

not good hopefully they fix it right away before shipping them out even if it gets delayed
 
Re: The Pixel 3 and 3 XL use a Samsung screen panel

While out shopping with my wife I do spend some time at Best Buy and Verizon. I've made it a point to compare the Pixel 3 XL screen with Samsung and iPhone. My eyes see no difference and it is a fact that all three are using Samsung screens. Whites are white, blacks are black, and the rest of the colors look gorgeous on all the phones.

As has been said, Samsung is also in the business of making and selling screens, and if they were selling inferior screens to the other makers, it would be immediately obvious. It would only make sense that they would have to sell the same quality to everyone. What I've been seeing in the stores would support that.

Man, am I looking forward to Thursday. What fun!

That's just hogwash. They are not inferior. Some have stated that the screens are the best they have seen. People were OK with the smaller Pixels screen last year and it was Samsung.
Are you saying that the screens they sell Apple are interior too?

Lol sorry! I didn't mean to say they were inferior. It was just conjecture based on reviewers saying it's not as bright as Samsung screens.

weirdly enough, the 3 xl bezel is growing on me..

Nah, they're already gone.... Let's see how this goes over this time around.
 
Re: The Pixel 3 and 3 XL use a Samsung screen panel

Regardless, I don't care, I want my new Pixel 3XL, and can't wait!

I’m in Canada and our release date is Nov 1, wonder if it’s just the first batch or all going out.

So just if anyone can clarify, the same issue last year was with pixel 2 having blue tint only when looking at specific angles...but straight on it looks normal?

The red is straight on. The whites are all that tinted color to my eyes
 
Re: The Pixel 3 and 3 XL use a Samsung screen panel

Are these "noticeably different color temperatures" something a quick software fix can fix or is the screen built this way?

No other option for a great oled panel other than sammy.
