WOW, big difference in carrier vs unlocked screen color/quality

[tekjunkie28]

Hi all,

I am testing the AT&T Note 8 and US Unlocked version.

In the picture the Note 8 on the left is the AT&T, right is unlocked model.
Both are set precisely identical to each other in terms of display settings.

Even when the phones are powered completely off, the color of the actual OLED panels differ greatly. The AT&T OLED panel has a darker black hue and the unlocked model has darker green hue. Really big difference.

I thought Apple was the only manufacturer that used different displays??

Personally, and I know this is subjective. The unlocked model blows the AT&T version away. MUCH brighter whiter sharper and cooler. The AT&T as you can see has a terrible red tint and nowhere near as bright.

Those colors are typical and fall with in manufacturing variation.

Oh....Ok. Then everything is good.

For how awesome this device is, it's pretty sweet that we have to go into these comparisons and dig this deep to find problems with the phone.
