Hi.
I've just got my Pixel 5, coming from a Pixel 2 (non-XL).
It's very much noticeable straight away and even more so side by side...Is the Pixel 5 display a lot warmer/paler/washed out?
Greys especially are a lot lighter compared to the dark greys of my Pixel 2...colours less deep (tried both phones on Natural, Boosted and Adaptive/saturated)...it's almost like the Pixel 2 has more blue in the display maybe? It's a lot cooler and easier to look at/see things.
A great example is using the Youtube Music app...well, here's a selection of pics demonstrating...
https://imgur.com/a/xujV3zJ
The difference is really obvious on the first, second and third pictures, less obvious on red screens (pic 5), but in the last couple of pics there's major differences on the reference picture on natural or boosted setting...
Yeah I dunno if I'm just being funny and noticing the differences but...yeah it just feels really disjointed every time I look at the screen...
Thanks
p.s. when I take a screenshot on both phones the colours look mostly similar when viewed on a PC so it's definitely to do with the panel...Don't know if it's standard calibration or faulty panel but yeah...really hard to look at numerous dark mode apps because they're so...not dark. Blacks look black though.
I observed the same on my Pixel 5, I 'm coming from Pixel 2 XL. I like saturated look on my Pixel 2 XL, but now I got used to Pixel 5 colors - Adaptive color profile

Thanks for your reply
It's really bad in some apps like Discord...makes it very difficult to look at especially when the brightness dips in low light.
Have you seen any other phones to compare to?
Since I've been using Android I've only used "pure google" devices...(Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7 2012, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 2013, Pixel 2 and Pixel 5)...even my father has a Pixel 2...so yeah I have no other experience to compare it to, especially more modern phones

Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to test with any other phones.
I also came from the Pixel 2 XL whose screen was ridiculously oversaturated. True, in direct comparison Pixel 5 looks "washed out" but this is much more true to life colors.
It's not the colours that bother me so much, more like the greys...
But lookibng at the XDA Pixel 5 display review, the Color temp is lower (warmer) and the Gamma is lower (lighter) which would very much explain.
6400K is just wrong for me to be honest! (and i personally prefer a higher gamma value but I'm odd like that)...
But mine being similar to the XDA review sample assumes calibration is the same across all models...I wonder!
But here with the Pixel 5’s minimum-brightness tone map curve, its 2.20 gamma power response may appear too light and washed out in dark environments.

I definitely notice that, the display gets much worse at low brightness so it needs to be cranked up a fair bit to uncomfortable levels in dark environments...
Still, I'm gonna go check out a couple of stores to see what other examples of he Pixel 5 are like...
Been going around a few stores today comparing my Pixel 5 with the display models...
The display models definitely have slightly darker blacks...
But then a difference is I have a Spigen screen protector on mine...
How much, if at all, would a tempered glass screen protector affect things? Would they make the greys look slightly lighter/washed out? Or is it differences in the panels?

Hi everyone, Nexus 4 is my very first Android phone in my life, I used to use Iphone even though I'm not an IFan. Here is my 2cents why I have to sell it.
Screen Display
Yes !! Nexus 4 comes with TRUE IPS LCD, seems like the same thing on LG OPTIMUS G which I saw at BB and I like it very much. But Nexus 4 is worse than Optiomus G's screen (IDK why?). First of all is it's brightness, my eye is get used to iPhone scrren which has white balance > 600 cd/m, Nexus 4 I bielieve is 470 cd/m ( Optimus G is 471 cd/m but idk why it so much brighter)
Second, the color saturation is so bad, comparing the my Iphone 4s beside, I can tell 4s screen is more colorful, better exposition and nicer contrast.
Low white balance hurts my eyes so badly when browsing website even in a bigger screen...
Except those reasons above, Nexus 4 is the good phone.
Good for you. Bad reasons in my opinion, but I digress
I bet everyone cares
cool story bro.
hopefully the other 3 posts you have made on this website have been just as insightful.
LOL, instagram hipster....
All those "problems" were fixed with gamma control. You lost out on a good phone.
Oh well, in the end it's all about what you want. If you want brighter and over saturated colors then go for it. I keep my phone on auto brightness, it's far from the highest brightness and never had a problem with it. The color seems nice, a little more realistic I think rather then over saturated. The iPhone's do have a nice color though from what I've seen but not a huge difference.

^^yah this :good:
i don't know what a cd/m measures, but visually comparing my screen to my wife's iphone there is very little difference (apart from size) ...
If you like saturation and good contrast then try AMOLED devices like the S3, it might not look as good as the iPhone though. YMMV.

Too be the screen can be very bright?? I keep my brightness on very low, colours are very nice imo but i think you are an ifan
Thanks for letting us know! Be sure to check back in and keep us updated on any other phone related decisions you make.

I like every aspect of nexus 6
but i'm a bit worried about the brightness of the screen
since AMOLED are kind of infamous for not able to use outdoor
I'm guessing the screen will be similar to Moto X 2014
Anyone who own the phone, can you please share the experience for using the phone under bright sun?

That's the important question. This year's AMOLED's (Galaxy S5, Note 4, Tab S) were very bright... but last year's AMOLED's (Galaxy S4).. not so much. Note 3 was fine however.
some review says moto X 2014 has poor outdoor visibility
and according to phonearena screen measurement, the moto X only has a maximum brightness of 385 nits
Now i'm seriously worried about the N6.....
I will accept anything higher than 450 nits, but 385 nits is just way too low
btw, I always never understood why maximum brightness is not part of the standard specs, it's an important factor, sometimes it's more important than pixel density or color saturation
While I will take all the brightness I can get, I have only struggled a few times with my S4 outdoors. I just don't use my phone all that much in full sunlight. Maybe check a football score during my kid's soccer game. Not exactly mission critical, but I guess it would be nice if it were easier. I certainly wouldn't give up the superior blacks the other 99.99% of the time. But given the awesome screens on the latest Samsungs, we should be able to have our cake and eat it, too.

As with most single specs, the luminance in nits only tells part of the story. I'll wait to see what the N6 screen looks like in full sun before making a final decision.

Very true. Amoled screen have very different reflective properties when compared to an LCD IPS screen. The outdoor viewing experience could and should actually be really good based on all the reviews.

Based on reviews the screen looks less vivid, less sharp and more dull than the Note 4. The visibility is less also; many reviewers claim the screen has great PPI but overall is not amazing. No surprises here - Samsung saves the best screens for themselves and everyone else gets rejects. For that reason I would've used an IPS display, like the iPhone 6+ (which has great visibility in sunlight, sharp and good colours).

If that's the case then Google clearly chose the ambient display (which requires amoled) over an IPS display. The note 4 arguably has the best screen in the world and we don't don't know if Google could get their hands on the iPhone 6 display. Maybe they tried and still couldn't get it.
Google can still calibrate the display properly. We'll just have to wait and see.

We can also, you know...Make calibrations ourselves as well once Custom Kernels make their rounds..
If colour reproduction is an issue we should have little to worry if we can modify it in due time.
Here's how to find out - go look at one yourself before purchase.

i am happy this was answered so i didn't have to make a post just to make sure. i know i have options for dpi and auto brighness controls on my gs2. but i have to wonder why they set it so low in the first place? was it for battery savings? is it because the reflectivity is so good that it didn't need to be higher? is it because it will burn out the organics? if the gs3, 290 nits, was good enough to see outside then i guess this one will be also. it just sucks that it is so low. and i don't know if i would want to trust a kernel that raised it.

Sony smarthones have the worst display ever. turn off bravia engine (contrast and vivid) and you will love motorola 720i ;P
PhoneArena state the Nexus 6 is 270nits.
& the Nexus 5 is 485nits
Yet, I'm pretty sure we've seen both phones on Max brightness next to each other with the Nexus 6 being brighter.
In fact, every video I've seen with both the Nexus 6 & Note 4 has shown the Nexus to have the brighter screen with much better whites.

Every video I've seen with both phones together.
If the Nexus 6 is supposed to only be 270nits, how is this possible?
I've also seen an image of the Nexus 5 & 6 together on Max brightness with the 6 being brighter.
Nexus 5 is 485 nits so PhoneArenas 270nits claim makes no sense at all.
Even in PhoneArenas own video, the Nexus looks brighter than the Note 4, easily visible during browsing & the video benchmark etc.
Google Nexus 6 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4: http://youtu.be/afOEn-zm_y0
It's funny because when I was playing with the Note 4 in a Sprint store I was surprised to learn that the screen was at full brightness. It didn't seem all that bright to me.
Is the AMOLED screen on the nexus 6 going to be the latest generation AMOLED screen?
If it's not the latest Note 4 screen, and looks something like the Note 3, then I'm not going to be a big fan of the screen... Are there any reviews on the display yet?
Chances of it matching Note 4 display are very slim. Samsung will of course keep its best panels for itself, like in the past.
Sigh, I wish note 4 had a stock Android option then...
Android police says that the 6 is even dimmer at first glance than the X. Not that it should matter in realy world readability and color accuracy, but I suspect that Note 4 would win out on quality.

We are talking AMOLED vs Super AMOLED... From what I've heard, S-AMOLED keeps all of the advantages of LCD displays when it comes to the outdoors... I'm expecting the N6's display to be a tad better than the Galaxy Note 3, but definitively not on par with the Note 4...

Pretty sure that Super AMOLED is just a trademarked name by Samsung. Probably not much difference at all between one or the other as far as technology goes.
Super amoled is just samsung copyright. ...but is a little different they put a anti glare film between the digitizer and glass ....
Watch the Engadget hands on review. The screen appears to get very bright. He is in a well lit area too that usually washes out a screen.
There was a comparison video that showed max brightness of moto x (2014), nexus 5, nexus 6, and galaxy s5. The nexus 6 was not as bright as the galaxy s5, but brighter than the nexus 5 and moto x.
Yeah, it's plenty bright. I'm not worried about the screen at all at this point. My only concern is will I be able to get it from VZW and it still be able to unlock the bootloader. The Nexus 6 is all about the development available on top of being a super phone all in all.
I've noticed first impression articles-videos mention that the Note 4 display colors are more "punchy" (perhaps more color satured by default) but the Nexus 6 (while the handset is only marginally larger) is described as big & beautiful with superior speakers-overall performance.

In that video at http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/11/04/nexus-6-vs-galaxy-note-4-size-comparison/ I'd assume they are both on their respective max brightness (not auto brightness).
From my long post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56143803&postcount=39 I think the Nexus 6 may actually be brighter on max brightness (>400 nits) while the Note4 in direct sunlight may be worth switching to auto-brightness since according to http://www.androidbeat.com/2014/09/displaymate-praises-galaxy-note4-amoled-display-performance/ max brightness could go from 400 nits up to 750 nits:
"On the brightness side, the Galaxy Note 4’s AMOLED display can go as bright as up to 400 nits in manual mode, which is comparable to displays of the same size. Under Automatic Brightness mode though, the Note 4’s display can reach a brightness level of up to 750 nits. Even the minimum brightness levels of the display is an impressively low 2 nits.
The Reflectance score of 4.8% indicates that the Note 4’s display will be clearly visible even under direct sunlight without the need for the user to squint their eyes."
The following screenshot at 40 seconds from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Fn8OnzDO5Y indicates they were both on max brightness (auto brightness not checked on Note 4):

If you owned a Pixel or Pixel XL previously and now have the Note 8, what are your thoughts on the camera? I adore the camera on the Pixel because without tweaking anything, I know I can get a fantastic picture anytime. No shutter lag, good color, little blur. How's this compare? Anyone who has kids especially, because those moving targets are tricky but important to me!
I've seen countless of comparisons and here is my conclusion:
Daylight - Pixel wins due to better dynamic range
Room light - Somewhat of a tie. Pixel has better dynamic range but can introduce some noise and blurriness due to lack of OIS and high ISO.
Lowlight - Note8 wins here with much less blur, and noise.
Camera app - Note8 wins easily. Pro mode.
Video - Note8 overall wins this category. Better details in 4K mode, and better stabilization in 1440p/1080p mode.
Audio - Easily the Note8/S8. Pixel has a really ****ty mic and Samsung devices often have one of the best mics even better than LG and HTC's.
One thing... The Pixel is a ugly phone. Probably one of the ugliest phone out there. This is coming from a die hard Nexus user. Once they made the pixel I was out for life.

Coming from someone who had the pixel, I prefer the note 8 camera better. I think it has to do with the over saturation Samsung does with their picture. They pop and things stand out big time.

Random, but okay. I put cases in my phones so I don't care what the back looks like. It's easily the best phone I've ever owned so I don't care about something that is silly to me, like looks. It's a phone. Rarely does anyone care what a phone looks like (except maybe the HTC U11).
I am hearing in reviews that the brightness is not that great, barely visible in direct sun.
That was one of the only things that really bothered me on the Pixel 3. Looks like
its a repeat on the 4! Anyone know the max brightness in nits?

I just found this:
The Pixel 4 XL display appears Perfectly Sharp for normal 20/20 Vision at Typical Smartphone Viewing Distances of 12 to 18 inches (30 to 46 cm). A Full Screen Peak Brightness of 444 nits. That is horrible!

That's better than this POS 6T I am using now...I suppose a HBM could fix that

From Displaymate:
The Pixel 3 XL has a 100% APL Calibrated Full Screen Brightness of 405 nits for the Calibrated Color Gamuts, which improves screen visibility in high Ambient Light. On its Home Screen the Pixel 3 XL produces 424 nits.
So it's true the max brightness is the same on the Pixel 4. Thats a deal breaker for me. And also pathetic max brightness.
It doesn't matter if you are looking at it in Best Buy in the sunlight or not, max brightness is max brightness.
Here is what the iphone 11's do, The iPhone 11 Pro also features a new 800 nits max brightness (typical); 1200 nits max brightness (HDR) display. This compares to the 625 nits max brightness (typical) display of the iPhone 11. I can tell you side by side the iphone 11 at 625 nits is way brighter than the Pixel 4. The Pro will be even more of a difference. Go to Best Buy and see for yourself. I always struggled
to see the Pixel 3XL in direct sunlight and was hoping for a brighter display this year

That's barely better than the 438 nits on the Pixel 2 XL but I rarely have issues seeing the screen in directly. And I live in the sunshine state. It would be nice if it got bursts of brightness like 800+ but guess what, that would make for an even worse battery. And I'm sure the Pixel 4 XL is going to be far from a battery champ.

Still, it would be great if Google actually gave me the option of prioritizing screen brightness over battery life (which isn't a real concern for me, since I'm close to my charger basically 24/7).

I agree with choice. Like the Pixel 4 is totally capable of 4K 60 FPS on the rear and I would thing at least 4K 30 FPS on the front yet it's saying most users just use 1080p. They kind of force that to be common with 1080p being the default size.
