I currently have an SGS with the S-AMOLED screen, which is a gem, and am temped to jump to the O2X when it lands in the US. Could some one who owns both or at least seen the two side-by-side give a comparison?
Check this on youtube:

check the good review of the phone made by Anandtech....

thanks for the links.
Actually prefer this one above the over saturation from samsung.
like it even more as my amoled screen from my Desire...

I have both sgs and 2x, i actually like the the colors better on the 2x, only the backlight takes a little getting used to, it will never show completely black like sgs.

Keep in mind that the AMOLED display from Samsung exaggerate colors very much. Many people like this, but the colors are not natural!
Then let's get Google to fix it.
Star this issue. Right now, it only has 5 stars. Encourage everyone you know who has an Nexus 4 and is annoyed with the washed out and faded colors to star this issue. Maybe we can get better screen calibration in Key Lime Pie.

I've already starred the issue in a different bug report. This one feels redundant.

No but I'm tired of everyone complaining about something which doesn't exist!
The amount of people moaning about this compared to the amount perfectly happy with their phones backs up the fact that this is complete tosh.
And by that I mean the hundreds in this forum, if it even is that many, compared to the thousands in the forum and the.millions out there completely happy with it including reviews.
I for one love the screen and in every real world test side by side.with other phones that I've carried out proved to me and others that the nexus 4 display is true to life as possible and most other displays are.over saturated and un natural.
Bright cartoonish colours and black crush does not mean a good screen.
If people want to have a mythical non washed out screen get a super amoled display already.
Google should completely ignore bug reports for none bugs such as this and.people shouldn't take up their time with this nonsense.
That's ten minutes i won't get back lol
Flame on!

The screen on my N4 is wonderfully neutral for a change, in real life colours don't burn your eyes out.
4.2.2 is better, not perfect, but quite nice. imo

That's the thing. It is not true to life. Well...it is if you're living a world filled with shades of grey After i installed one of Mole's custom kernels i can say that the difference is STAGGERING. Gamma values are between 2.2 and 2.4 (compared to 1.6-1.7 in stock kernel). RGB standards say that 2.2 is true to life...1.6 isn't

I find the screen to be completely acceptable, and great to use. Only 45 people starred it at the time of writing this post, out of thousands of users (if not more) on Nexus 4 forums. Everyone knows that screen is less saturated and more natural than AMOLED screens, and most people bought it knowing that. They had 15 days to return the device, and they chose to keep it. It's simply a different technology, with advantages and disadvantages. You can do all the calibration you want, it's not gonna look as saturated as AMOLED screens.

The screen is WAY off on gamma. It is improperly calibrated. We are not trying to get over saturated colors. Do you understand?

It's becoming like the 'avforums', where all the boffs with years of audio/visual experience and thousands of pounds of calibrating equipment, give there settings for the 'best' experience with your new £/$1000.00+- set. All discussed in the greatest detail and length.
So you set them, then everyone in the family and friends say over and over "it's too dark" "why's it so dark?" "is there something wrong with it?" ..and so on
eventually you have to agree and whoop up the brightness and contrast and turn the colour down a bit ..that's better
I agree with the original topic .
The screen is inferior .
Coming from a Samsung note to the nexus 4 ....
You can tell its crap and made by lg.
I'm on my second nexus in 3 days ! Lots of build problems

The screen is great, it looks very sharp, but yes we need some calibration, just a little bit, you can put a O4x side by side with our N4 and see how the colors looks better and the 4x, and yes is the same panel, or maybe the n4 could be better because is newer.

The colour sucks on this screen as tested by EVERYONE including review sites and anandtech who tested it.
Its also clear to see when put next to an iphone or normal TV with decent settings.
Im going to the S4 soon as it lands this phone is just a toy to get me by
I don't get why people continuously start new threads about this non-issue. I previously owned a One XL and people praised that screen as one of the best in its time. After comparing the screen of the N4 and HOX, I prefer the screen on the N4 by far (stock colours). The HOX had a yellowish tint and no one complained about it. I guarantee most people who complain about the screen on the N4 don't even own a high quality IPS monitor. And now that we have pretty much full gamma calibration, go calibrate the screen to your liking.

Ahh, Anandtech and "EVERYONE" has time machines and reviewed the 4.2.2 setup?
It really is a lot better.
If you are rooted there is an app that improves the colors a great deal. Is called Nexus 4 Display Control and kids the app store. The optimum color setting is 238, 228, 240. Hope that helps

The screen on stock setting is pretty bad when it comes to calibration.... I used Franco's latest kernel and tried a few gamma settings and found one that MADE STOCK COLORS LOOK LIKE CRAP.
after 4.2.2 was released I decided to flash stock image to take the OTA and I just couldn't believe how horrendous the screen looked.
Seriously, I got used to the colors on stock and never thought the were bad until I was able to tweak the gamma settings. The screen looks absolutely beautiful now.

hi guys
my friend gave me his Ox+ for a while in order to flashing a custom rom.. so.. i struck when the iron was hot
here is my comparison.. just have to say something.. maybe these pictures don't show the reality.. in this topic i'm
trying to make a fair comparison and tell the truth which i saw on my eyes
one other thing.. sorry for my not so good English :cyclops:
both of these devices use LCD technology (IPS HD+ for nexy and super clear LCD on Ox+)
regarding to GsmArena test Nexus has a much brighter display (608 vs 420) but i must say it's not sensible..
and Ox+ provide more contrast (1521 vs 1320) .. well i must say Nexus had more contrast on my eyes and it was sensible!!!!
here is some pics:
right/up is nexus... left/down is Ox+
1st pic; a nature
both of them are damn good!! very sharp displays.. excellent color reproduction, contrast and etc..
i think Ox+ provide a warmer colors.. and nexus had more contrast on my eyes
both of them are pretty close in this pic
2nd: red flower
again.. both of them are verrry good.. but again i must say nexus has more contrast and ox has warmer display
look at the left corner.. white is damn good on nexus but seems yellowish on OX+
3rd : jelly bean..!!
i must say nexus is the obvious winner in this pic.. better contrast.. excellent white and richer color..
4th : pure white
no explanation..! n4 definitely wins here..it provide best white i've ever seen on any device..!!
5th : pure black comparison:
sorry.. i didn't have a good camera to show the real differences.. but i mus say ox+ had better blacks.. although
maybe it's because of brighter display on n4.. but on full brightness i must say ox+ wins
6th: viewing angle
again sorry fir no pic 'cause of camera..
both phones had verry good horizontal and vertical viewing angles.. ox+ was a little darker..
but if view them from the corners ox+ wins..! no changing color and contrast.. very good.. i must give win to One x
let me know if you like it.. :good:
i can make a camera comparison if you want :fingers-crossed:
i must say that i used FauxClock for screen calibration.. it's not fraud..
custom rom/kernel/mod is part of a nexus device
any comment?

Screen of Nexus 4 was calibrated according to your taste.So does it effect the outcome of Picture quality?
If yes then is this a fair comparison
My friend has a regular One X, and its display is far more rich, bright and responsive (probably the best touchscreen I tried) than the one in the Nexus 4. You can clearly see the differences under direct sunlight.

I'm a previous htc one x owner. Let me tell you, the touchscreen was no better than what i experience in the N4. If anything it was less sensitive. I remember actually holding my thumb down to that ****ing piece of **** you call a screen on the one x hoping for it to react. Regardless, if anything, the N4 is MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better on the screen side since 4.3.
I actually hated the ONE x so much that i decided to drop it a second time to shatter the display once and for all after i had already mistakenly dropped it. Piece of ****.
**** that thing. Worst device ever
Drains battery like i drain my **** down the toilet when i have instant diarrhea pills shoved down my throat.
U used wrong calibration, use iphone 5 calibration with franco kernel
There you have it. An unbiased review, not a couple of paragraph written by who knows who. Now what was iVerge talking about again?

Check out the last few pages of the nexus 5 pictures thread. There's a few guys who have taken pictures with the nexus 5 and iPhone 5s. No reviews, just pictures. Check out out and you'll see the difference yourself. From what I saw in the pictures the nexus 5 has a better camera, especially in low light conditions.

Seems fair to me, although I wish they would include more pics. I like how they "stressed" the camera by taking photos in non-ideal environments, i.e. any phone can take beautiful pictures of buildings outside, on a sunny day.

Are you talking about his Nexus 5 vs S4 camera comparison video? Cuz if you are you'll notice he's not even wearing the same clothes in the two videos. How do you figure he used the S4 selfie in the iPhone comparison?? Go back to your iPhone fanboy forums and spin your lies there.

I'm not sure what you mean by distortion. The video that he posted is the best all around camera performance demo that I have found. Covers audio, video, photos, and HDR and non-HDR performance. The need to compare it with the 5s is because the iphone has always been known to put great cameras in their phones. So it serves as a standard. Please understand my attempt was not to start a hate war on apple, afterall this is an android development forum and I don't reckon many apple fans would be here, except for that one guy above (what is he doing here anyways). If I wanted to start a war I'd be on cnet or something

Lol strong point you got there but I have always used android and I will keep rocking this bad boy. If there is any fanboys here that is you and others like you that are afraid to hear another phone has better camera.as i said just be happy camera is good. This is a nexus and we like it for other reasons and not for the camera. I got my canon dslr and I use that for awesome pictures. Enjoy.
I saw someone who did a really indepth color calibration for his Nexus 6, i cannot find the thread anywhere...help?
(note: I am color blind, so calibrating the colors to be perfect for normal eyes helps me out more than you can ever imagine)
(note 2: no, the color blind options do not help me out, my eyes are abnormally color blind, and i am used to not compensating for it, so the compensation screws me up worse)
It's in the lean kernel thread. Do not know how to add the link from the XDA app. For a cooler/more blue screen, its 237,235,255
for anyone else who is looking here is the link

Is it possible to get the screen to look like the Note 4s? (Note 4 is "Cooler" as opposed to the "warmer" N6.)
Here is a youtube video showing the comparisons of both displays. Really good comparison IMHO. Google Nexus 6 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4
I do prefer the Note 4s. This is almost a deal breaker for me to get the N6 over the Note 4.
But I really want to like the N6... Dual speakers,6inches,stock android,small bezels...

Certain panels run warmer or cooler by default. That's just how it is. Some people prefer warmer panels. I think the nexus 6 panel is pretty neutral out of the box but i run mine on the cooler side anyway.

Does it look exactly like the Note 4 from your experience? Like have you seen it in store and compared it? I think the brightness is lower on the N6 though...
No I haven't done a direct comparison with the Note 4. I don't have or want that phone so I have no need to compare them.
Do you mind taking some pics/vids before and after from default to cooler?
I wrote a wall of text after but I'm on my phone and somehow it got lost :/
Anyways basically I wanted to say that it might help more people who are on the fence about this display and it may shed some light on the positives of the screen vs the other flagship competitor the Note 4.
Ive searched all over the web and I've yet to see anything comparing the different settings.

I have both. Note 4 all the way, looks nicer than nexus 6 and more premium. The screen is way brighter than nexus 6 and no one can deny that and sharper. If the time goes back 1 month would never by a nexus 6. Also don't get me wrong nexus is a good device overall you just need some sort of work around to get it how you want it. Note 4 is good out of the box.

But if you tweak it, doesn't it look much better and is it slightly on par with the Note 4? I know the brightness is low on the N6 but as long as it's a little brighter than my Note 2 I'm OK with that. And they both have the same resolution, is that why the Note 4 is sharper because of its smaller display?
I really like everything about the Nexus 6 but the Note 4s display blew me away.
Is the only way to change the color settings via a custom kernel? I'm happy with stock kernel, but would live to tweak my colors a bit. Thanks

You already decide what you are going to get Go with the Note 4.

Only custom kernels. Stock kernel lacks the kcal controls

Thanks for the answer.
I hope this is not heresy, but after playing with a few different kernels on my N5, for me it just became a)an obsession and b)a hassle. However, I did like the tools to do the display color changes. I will wait for the CM official rom or maybe play with one of the kernels available. It would be nice to have the stock kernel with only the color capabilities, but I suppose if you mod a kernel, you might as well put in additional features. And yeah I know its easy enough to flash a custom kernel and go back to stock, just my laziness.

No I haven't done a direct comparison with the Note 4. I don't have or want that phone so I have no need to compare them.

Does the Nexus 6 still have that slight pink hue on the whites after setting it to a cooler 7400k?
