How's your screen uniformity? - Nokia 8 Questions & Answers

Hi, I recently bought a Nokia 8 and it's an amazing phone all round. Crazy fast and smooth and has great features.
One thing I noticed though is that the colour temperature at the bottom inch of the display seems a little more yellow/very slightly brighter than the rest of the display. So on a page with a light grey background for example, it's noticeable that the bottom of the screen seems slightly yellowy/green or maybe slightly lighter than the rest of the screen. It's not a huge difference but it's quite noticeable especially when browsing with Chrome or other apps that can show solid background colours.
How's your Nokia 8 display? Have you got the same characteristic where the bottom inch is very slightly "warmer" than the rest of the display? Any other issues. I'm trying to figure out if it's worth getting a replacement. Such a shame because otherwise the display is great (apart from being more on the blue side than I'd like).

Mine is quite alright. There's just a blotch at the very center of the screen that is a little brighter than the rest. But it sort of gets "framed" by the darker areas and I don't really notice it much at all. In fact this is one of the most uniform displays I've ever had.

[Q] Build Quality

I just got my gear live and I was wondering if anyone else has a noticeable gap on either side of their gear live? Also, it seems that the heart rate sensor on mine looks crooked. Is this how it is supposed to be? The heart rate monitor seems to work fine. Although, I have not really tested it for accuracy. Please let me know if these build issues are normal.

I have noticed a gap on the upper inside area where the plastic meets the bezel on the side opposite the charging port.
It does make me question it's IP 67 certification.

I have another question for anyone on here. Does your screen show a sort of pink line of pixels at the top when a white screen is shown? I think it may just be the way these displays are made but I wasn't sure.

I see that as well. It is hard to describe but I do see a pinkish hue that lines the upper edge of the display which is most noticeable on a white background.
I just tried the pixels and its true but unnoticeable in normal use. As for the gap that's quite big compared to mine which I've had for months.
Mine looks the same and I have seen the gap on other watches. It varies. I have gotten it a little wet on the sides from washing my hands and so far no issues here. It should not affect the IP 67 certification. I wonder if the pink hue on white screens could be fixed with a software update?
Other issues I have noticed are my watch band creaks a little if I move it around and also my heart rate sensor looks crooked as you can see in my pictures. Other than these things, it is a great watch!

dark shade of under fingerprint scanner is visible in direct sunlight on dynmic amole

Actually as i was browsing on my galaxy s10 i saw a dark outline of under display fingerprint scanner on the dynamic amoled, this issue is only visible on white background, this is of deep concern, did anyone notice this issue?
Hi. I cannot see anything there on the screen - not one bit, regardless which background it is.

I can see it too but only in bright sunlight shining strait at the screen with a white background. Even then it's hard to see. I tried it under a bright UV light and other very bright lights and do not see it otherwise. If you check this video out at 8:50 it should explain why. It's the reflection from the bright sunlight reflecting through and then back from the screen. I don't see it as a defect, it's just the design of the fingerprint reader. I wouldn't worry about it unless it becomes visible all the time.
But while i was using Chrome in direct sunlight the shadow stayed throughout and it was very irritating.
Do check in direct sunlight

Not just from light at the back but direct sunlight, and on other colours than white.
Hello,

Pinkish tint when tilting the phone?

Hello! I have noticed that my device is changing color when tilting the phone in different angles. It gets a slight pinkish/reddish tint and I wonder if everyone has this or if my screen is bad and if I should get the phone replaced? I took a video of it but it doesn't really show as much in the video as it does IRL. It's much more noticeable IRL. I can't add the video here due to XDA rules.
So, is this normal or should I get it replaced?
My s10 plus doesnt do this hmmm, do you run it on wqhd? See if that makes a difference if not I reccomend taking it back

It happens no matter the settings I use. Tried vivid turned to cool, tried to turn down the red color etc etc. It's only noticeable on a white/grey background. Like in the Gmail. I guess I'll try to get it replaced.

Seems like it's a common issue. Not sure if it's actually normal tho? A friend of mine has almost none of this issue on his. I also took a picture of it showing quite a lot of the issue.

Screen uniformity issues

Hi, I've recently bought a S20 FE 5G. I noticed at night that my screen was brighter on the edges like a cheap LCD phone.
I could reproduce the issue using "Display Tester" app using Dark Grey color and 1% brightness, I was in a dark room.
There is a sort of light bleeding from the edges of the screen and the center of the screen is brighter than the other parts.
Any of you has encountered the same issue?

Actually, I think you are lucky. Your oled looks almost perfect to me. Compared to yours, mine is way worse - it has a brighter area and banding in the lower part of the screen. Disuniformity can be noticeable in dark gray image in low brightness in dark room. I've seen this in other oled panels (Galaxy and Pixel phones). There is no guarantee I can get a better replacement, so I don't go that route unless display is annoyingly low quality.

I think this is related to implementation of how they increase the brightness, when you are using it longer on low brightness the color will uniform.
Per checking on witrigs.com. The Replacement screen cost on S20 = $230 vs S20 FE = $148 vs S9 = $162. So the S20 FE screen is not high quality as S9+.
Since I have an s9+, this doesn't happen to my phone which is already 2 years and 9 months
I
Its an oled screen, should it should black where there is nothing being shown on the screen. Do you have edge apps enabled?
Also how did you get to the test screen, as I would like to test this on my SM-G781B

Rectangle on my screen after removing the screen protector?

Hello everyone! This morning, I removed the screen protector that came with my replacement display which I have been using for months now because it had too many scratches. After removing it, nothing was out of the blue until I noticed a large patch of uneven pixels in the shape of a rectangle. Can someone explain to me why this happens and the best way to solve it?
I've read some others had luck by just leaving it alone and letting it disappear on its own (usually within a week or so). My screen does not show any signs of screen burn-in and only shows image retention when watching 16:9 content for long periods of time (~usually 40 minutes at most)

This is an image of my phone with the said rectangle.
App: OLED Tools
The rectangle is mostly noticeable when viewing dark images or gray backgrounds. It is also noticeable when looking at dark greens.
Mine did the same thing after removing my glass screen protector (Dome). Took a good 3 weeks to a month to fade enough that I can just ever ever so slightly notice it. I was really bummed out because the phone is flawless, and I wanted to change to a new protector.
But yeah, it faded away. I just looked again and I can't see it anymore.
I don't understand how the screen protector has anything to do with that or why it wasn't visible before. Disconcerting...
It's really very odd. First phone that has ever done something like that.
All I can say is always use OEM parts with these devices. That includes the adhesive strips.
I've repaired Canon pro cams before and having the exact parts makes the difference.
I hope it works out for you.

It was replaced by an authorized Samsung Service Center I know the parts are legit.
It's been a few weeks now, and it's not as noticeable anymore!
