Can anybody confirm whether the different models (S10E, S10, S10+) share the exact same shades of color? I don't know if my eyes are playing tricks on me, but for example, I've noticed that the Prism Black color is actually a deep shade of navy in the S10e, whereas the regular S10 is a deep dark gray. Any thoughts?

Take a look at the attachments and tell me if this is normal. I had the Skyrocket for 3 weeks and never had this issue. The colors are so washed out (shades of gray in particular.) I loaded the my beach hd live wallpaper and the midnight theme is greenish and pinkish on the dark sky.
The grey shades is not completely consistent for the phone, but its still much better than the problem I had with the Galaxy SII T-Mobile. What is shown from the screenshot taken matches exactly with what I see in real life, so my only conclusion is this is a software issue that hopefully can be fixed.
I also tried the blue, red, green shade and they look pretty good.
If you're colorblind, please disregard this thread. Rate this thread to express how you deem the color saturation and accuracy of the Google Pixel 2's display. A higher rating indicates that you think that color accuracy is very high and saturation is excellent.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Some brief observations about Pixel 2's display (in Natural and Boosted color modes):
+ Max brightness is pretty bright, and should provide adequate visibility in most conditions.
+ Nice, deep, inky, and uniform black, just as you'd expect from an OLED.
- Pure green (#00FF00) renders considerably lighter and paler than reference. Using my eyes alone, I can't tell how much of this is due to undersaturation vs color inaccuracy. The result is that elements that are mostly green (e.g. Google Hangouts icon, plant life in photos) sometimes look noticeably less vibrant in comparison to other elements on the screen.
- Red is undersaturated relative to the other colors. This is evidenced by the green tint that is clearly visible when viewing yellow and orange colors. Deep reds skew slightly purple as well.
- The display's color temperature appears cool in all but the brightest of indoor viewing conditions. I'm sure it looks neutral (i.e. great) under the blaring fluorescent lights of an electronics store, but isn't as well suited for home or office viewing. Some people prefer cooler colors. I'm of the mind that neutral or very slightly warm color temperature displays are much easier on the eyes and more visually appealing.
Most 2017 OLED smartphone displays I've seen have the problems I've listed, albeit to varying degrees. I'd chalk it up to the difficulties inherent to OLED screens, but past experience suggests otherwise: I've owned OLED phones with better color accuracy all the way back to 2013. It seems like things really got worse this year. Not sure if its the displays themselves or the color profiles being applied.
Using the new Saturated color mode swings the color temperature to a more neutral position, but the resulting appearance is way too saturated in general for my liking, and it doesn't completely resolve the issue of inaccurate reds.
I'm disappointed, as the display's color issues cause it to fall short of what I expect to find on a phone in Pixel 2's price range. I haven't decided yet whether I'm going to keep it.
Yellow!
Receive mine today, and the colour calibration was way off... I thought it a little yellow at first, and perhaps the beach on the default wallpaper might be influencing my judgement. Installed a few aps, played around with the settings, and then compared it with my previous phone and oh dear - it was clearly very yellow. Greys in particular looked awful, and whites like aged paper rather than white. So disappointing.
I also compared the colours with my aging Nexus 7, and that looked much better too, as do my various monitors. I've RMA'd the device, and will give one more a go before deciding whether to keep it. Such a shame - one of the main reasons I went for a 2 rather than a 2 XL was the supposedly better display... And if only Google would allow us to calibrate the colours ourselves, I could probably have resolved the issue myself.
Color calibration is indeed terrible.
Comparing it to me previous phone, google pixel XL. It makes some colors fade in such a weird and ugly way.
I cant stand it
Hi guys,
I am very hyped and excited to get my hands on the S10+ pre-ordered from Samsung. I chose the branded T-Mobile prism blue color. Which color did you choose for your S10 series device?
Missing a few colors on that list...
For the first time in 11 phones, going for the White! That chrome frame sold me.

Flamingo Pink
Prism Blue S10+! Usually had black on prior devices...
There is a prism green here in the UK for one. And I believe there is a sort of pink shade for the + model in some markets.
Edit: beaten.
Prism blue s10+
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Prism white S10+ unlocked
iPhone X
Torn between Prism Black and Prism Blue myself... blue looks awesome in renders, but IRL has a faint hue of violet. Black looks boring in renders, but looks quite acceptable IRL. Help plz.
Black, I ordered a phone that's going in a black case, so I didn't need pretty. ?
Hi, I've got a question about xz2 color. To be more precise what is the color of the "deep green" xz2? Why in some countries it's advertised as 'deep green' and in my country there is a sticker on the box saying it's "petrol blue". It's pretty confusing and also the I see the color is depended on the lighting - in some cases it's light blue and in some it's greenish.

In direct sun or warm strong lighting the nuance is more of a petrol blue. In more normal conditions, like interiors or in shade, you get a deep forest green. Also, I observed that with certain transparent cases, you again get the petrol blue nuance.
I think the difference in advertising comes just from retailers point of view. There is just 1 official green color. Again, the differences come only from specific lighting conditions.
Just got a new S20 FE, I have a Red or Magenta tint on sections of the screen when looking at an angle on the screen and straight directly looking at the screen. It is only clearly visible on a white screen, pretty noticeable when surfing websites, etc. Hard to capture in photos but I tried my best.
The tint will move as you move the screen, and quite bad at an extreme angle. I checked some FE display units in the Samsung store and they all have this issue, some are better than others though.
the XDA review has the same issue actually: https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-s20-fe-review/
"The viewing angles, though, are disappointing because the display still features visible angular color shifting to blue as well as a rainbow out interference effect at extreme angles. Newer Samsung OLED panels have eliminated the rainbow out interference effect, and also reduced off-axis color shifting by a significant amount. The Galaxy S20+’s viewing angles, for example, are much better because the color shifting is much lower. Strangely, even the cheaper Galaxy M51 (review) doesn’t feature the interference effect issue (that is likely caused by the polarizer)."
Anyone else have this issue?
Thinking about asking for a replacement

But only a white screen, pretty noticeable when surfing websites. Its pretty annoying now that I have noticed it... Might need to return it?

I will goto the Samsung store tomorrow and ask the guys there.

A lot of phones have some sort of tint or rainbowing when viewed at some angle. I know the pixel 2xl had a very noticeable bluish tint on the whole screen when viewed at angle, but yeah you can still check and make sure.

I went and checked out a bunch of FEs at the Samsung Store and all of the phones have some of tinting viewable at angles but mine seems worse than most. Its showing some of the banding straight on, which is annoying. I might get a replacement.
Anyone else having this issue?
