Promising, seems to correlate with a CNET article someone posted earlier about improved color accuracy and display calibration options. Although I don't really see the use as none of the apps, photos or website you'd see on the phone operate in Adobe RGB or support color management. I'd just stick to Movie, which seems closer to sRGB and should provide the most accurate colors.
Wonderful..
I was going to ask this question when I saw DisplayMate's tweet.
https://twitter.com/DisplayMate/status/312549499413360641
From dpreview:
With the new Adapt display mode enabled, the differences were even more pronounced. This adaptive display setting automatically adjusts the contrast and brightness of the display depending upon the content you're viewing, optimizing based on whether you're watching a video, looking at an image, or reading a Web page or book, for example. On the S4, the Adapt display feature is more universally applied than on the Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet.

Does anybody know if this corrects the blue Viagra tint that everything has on all of Samsung's other phones?
I have been planning to purchase the HTC One, but am getting really, REALLY frustrated with HTC. The lack of a Menu button, expandable storage and removable battery hurt, but none of that was enough to overcome my complete distaste for the Samsung Viagra screens.
Now, with the One being delayed, the news that the 64 GB One will not be on Sprint and my becoming more and more convinced that the "Ultrapixel" idea was a huge mistake, I'm starting to rethink my decision.
If Adobe RGB actually makes the whites white and takes the blue tint out of everything else, too, then I'm pretty much sold on making the GS4 my first non-HTC phone in years.
From GSMArena...
The color saturation is beyond the reach of any LCD out there, which make even the dullest image appear remarkably vibrant. Still, if you are not a fan of the oversaturated look of AMOLEDs, Samsung gives you the option to tune down the saturation to more natural levels and enjoy the best of both worlds. There's a dedicated Adobe RGB setting that gets this done.

Maybe someday.
Every time I pick up my friends' GS2 or GS3's, I just can't help but feel like I'm watching a Viagra commercial. I just think it would drive me crazy, personally.

I've got to be honest, I'm having a difficult time telling what those charts represent. Are the blue, green and red lines different color modes? What is the purple line?
AW: Galaxy S4 supports Adobe RGB
Why don't they just build in a set of sliders to adjust hue, saturation, tint,... like you can do on a monitor?

What exactly should be the difference between Adobe pro photo RGB and so called natural mode which was present so far? Colours in natural display mode are, in terms of saturation, the same as on LGs Ips screen. And in movie mode they are even less saturated than on ips screen...

Unfortunately there is no such setting like this wonderful one on gs3. I am very eager to see what this adaptive display can bring to amoled display. I am too bothered by bluish screen of sg3 although my satisfaction level of sg3 is very high. Lcd screen's true white screen is probably one of few things i wished on my gs3.

Of course I cannot be sure about anything regarding S4, but I kind of thought that blueish screen went out of fashion with Note2. It isn't as warmly white as say lg ips, but the difference is more like setting your monitor to warm vs. cold colour temperature. I can only assume S4 is at least as white as N2. Each has different matrix. S3 pentile and S4 pentile but special, N2 full RGB.

Maybe Note2 would be a better option. In natural colour saturation is identical to lg I ips. Tested on Earth from ISS and display tester, while in movie mode the colours are even less saturated on amoled. White are warmer on lg ips ofc, but without directly looking at both one would never say so. Blacks are on the other hand light years apart.

Unfortunately, I don't know anyone with a Note 2. I may just have to go check one out at the store on a lunch break this week.
I've been poking around for reviews on Youtube and found this one, where the GS4 is next to the HTC One for a substantial period of time. I'm assuming it's just in standard mode, but even then, the GS4 colors look pretty natural, to me. I'm not leaning pretty strongly towards the GS4.
edit - At the 8:00 minute mark he goes into a web browser on both units. The whites on the One actually look a littler bluer than the GS4.

Yeah I just wanted to point out that at 8.00+ in Internet browsers, while white might look a tad stronger (higher brightness) on One, there doesn't seem to be particulary strong greenish tint on amoled and white looks white.
Also from GSMarena (BTW, I see there are now comparative reviews with One and Xperia Z):
What you should take away from all this is that the final weak point of the Super AMOLED screens has been taken care of and the Galaxy S4 offers image quality like no other smartphone on the market. Its impressive contrast and almost perfect viewing angles make everything on the screen pop, regardless of your viewpoint.The color saturation is beyond the reach of any LCD out there, which make even the dullest image appear remarkably vibrant. Still, if you are not a fan of the oversaturated look of AMOLEDs, Samsung gives you the option to tune down the saturation to more natural levels and enjoy the best of both worlds. There's a dedicated Adobe RGB setting that gets this done.The brightness levels of the Samsung Galaxy S4 are about on par with the rest of the company's AMOLEDs, which is to say not very high. However, due to their low reflectivity, this doesn't affect outdoor performance. Keep in mind that enabling the auto tone setting in the screen option limits the maximum brightness to under 300 nits, so if that matters to you, you better keep it off.

Amoled color quality is varied among different units
Note 2 made in Vietnam is still pretty blueish in some units, some are better but still. Unfortunately, I have a very bluish one.
Note 2 made in Korea seems much whiter.
Hope that not the same thing happens with S4

I honestly never heard of that. I went to check where mine was made, but it only says "Made by Samsung". It's the same on the box and under the battery, which is weird. Its a model for EU. Anyway Note 2 is not the topic. I am very happy with mine. But I will make a photo some other day to compare white and screen modes between N2 and LG 4x, as I found no similar comparisons on internet yet...
Edit: So, naturally I couldn't go to sleep without finding out where my N2 was made in and although I still didn't find direct imprint on the phone or the box the battery and manuals suggest they were made or printed in Vietnam. Not really important, since except for one sd card fail, everything works perfectly for 6 months now.

The thing is, I hope that not the same thing happens with S4.
I live in Vietnam. where all units are made in Vietnam only (in Europe there are 2 types: made in Vietnam and Made in Korea)
Checked in store: 5 units were blueish with different levels and different brightness, 2 imported devices, one white and one a little bit pink tint.

That's really terrible if it's true. I edited the post, saying that i suspect mine being made in Vietnam. But the difference in white in comparison to s3 is real. So I must either be lucky or there is different batch heading for EU with different QA/QC. I really cannot imagine seeing such differences and how people would tolerate it since it was a 700eur phone. The one In store appeared normal, same as mine- that is to say- best screen I've ever seen... I even compared it to bunch of other phones. But there was only one note2 on display so couldn't compare and didn't want to open mine right there.
So. I won't go off topic any more, but if this helps someone to decide on something why not... Comparisons of white, all on max brightness:
Amoled set to standard screen mode Note2 vs. LCD 22" LG panel:
Amoled Note2 vs. LCD GTab vs. LCD just something in roaming
Amoled Note2 vs. LCD GTab

Hi guys, I'm kind of curious on this point...
So, what do you think of the screen compare to other phones ? Like viewing angles, contrast, color reproduction etc.
Thank you guy !

there are video on the net that clearly shows how N5 display is inferior to the G2 display.
Less contrast, no good black level on N5.

Yeah I saw that
The blacks are a bit grey and the viewing angles not that great, but its bright enough that its clearly readable in strong sunlight.
after coming from the S4 I'm pretty happy with it. Does just fine in my opinion
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
The N5 display is the only thing I'm not really happy with. Holding it next to my N7 with identical screens, the blacks on the N7 are VERY much blacker. Black widgets on a black background on the N5 look very gray (particularly the G-music widget). Screen is very "warm" color compared to N7 being very "cool". Looking at it without N7 next to it, it looks fine (happy enough with it). Higher resolution really isn't that noticeable to my eyes.
Other than that, the N5 does everything faster.
How is the display and its colors as compared to nexus 4 colors ?? Are the colors still lacking saturation and are washed out as they were in nexus 4 ??
Best screen ever! Never using an amoled again. And those that mention colors are washed out, probably are noobs. Colors are easy "fix" once franco and faux release that option in their kernels. But if you lile to whine just becauss you love whinning, then keep doing it!

A little better but you know this is ips screen not amoled. Don't expect that crazy over saturation.
The screen is washed out an is driving me crazy but lol..besides that I love the phone the speaker kinda sucks..I just wish it had better colors G2 screen looks so much better...the screen is almost a deal breaker for me...still deciding...

I got my S7 today, the first thing I noticed is that the whites looked quite dull and uneven on the display, for example when browsing and scrolling up and down I'd notice the uneven white background, one side is brighter than the other.
This has always been the case for me on just about every samsung amoled I've had and it's always taken replacements to get a display I like.
I went into a store today and compared my S7's to the ones they had on display, I made sure to set the stores s7 to the same brightness as mine and making sure the phone was on adaptive mode and the stores s7 just looked so much better than mine, their was a blue hue but it made the whites brighter and more even
Has anyone had screen issues like this with their s7? Should I get a replacement? Even my old phone which isn't amoled has much brighter whites than the S7
can't explain any kind of gradient from one side to the other, but there is a setting on the S7 "Screen Mode" under the Display and Wallpaper menu gives you 4 different settings some of which will give a more yellowish hue as opposed to the blueish hue normally seen in modern displays.
On my S7, I sometimes notice the white background in Chrome browser to appear a bit yellowish. I didn't notice it any other app or maybe no other app had a significant white background. If I tilt the phone just a bit to thereby change the lighting, the yellow hue goes away and it appears white like it should. If I don't tilt and keep scrolling, the yellowish hue also turns white.
Sometimes, I've noticed it while using FlipBoard as well.
Since changing the angle fixes it, I presume it is software-related and have not considered replacement. To me, it didn't sound like a hardware fault.
If it appears in other apps or fixes altogether somehow, will post again.
---------- Post added at 09:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------
Under Screen Mode, I have 'Adaptive display' selected. I see a note at the top stating 'This mode may not be compatible with third-party apps'.
Since it only occurs in Chrome and sometimes Flipboard, perhaps some third-party apps just don't play well with Adaptive display.
Switching to AMODEL photo changed the screen to the similar yellowish hue...! Anyway, I'm keeping mine at Adaptive display.
Hope the OP's issue is also limited to certain apps.

Hi guys,
I've purchased Honor 8 yesterday. After seeing anandtech review,http://www.anandtech.com/show/10678/the-huawei-honor-8-review/4
honestly I've been a little bit disappointed.
Is that possible to calibrate display with root or w/o root?
What owners think about the display? Because according to anandtech review, display has a blue tint and even my 3,5 years old Samsung Galaxy S4 display color accuracy better then honor 8.
Please enlighten me.
The display is set to a very vivid type of calibration. I'd actually say it's similar to default Samsung AMOLED calibration. Honestly, I have a work iPhone and I don't really notice the "poor" calibration on the Honor unless I look at it side by side. It's fine to me.
setting display you can change the colour temp i think thats what youre taking about...
S4 has an AMOLED screen. Honor 8 just IPS.
The honor 8 display is bad calibrated imho. Even the P9 Lite of my girlfriend is better in color reproduction. The built in color adjustment can't resolve this issue. I really hope in a future upgrade of this with a software upgrade.
After a while i can say the honor 8 is a P9 Lite with a better camera and better look...and a bad display...
just ordered mine, all the reviews says disaply is ok, nothing about blue tint
Update to the latest OTA, if the problem is still present, maybe its a hardware issue

As you can see it's not an hardware failure but simply an inaccurate screen calibration. I don't need a screen perfect calibrated but here there isn't some sort of calibration at all.
Consider that the P9 isnt well calibrated too...
