Color Calibration? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had a Nexus 5 and I can't adapt to the color options available. Is there any app that I can calibrate the color saturation?

Go to the display settings and set it to "basic" color profile. The colors should be spot on with the N5

I am wondering same thing. Basic is extremely muted and has very yellow whites

Even "Basic" is very bad, I would like to setup a custom profile.

Same here. I think software can help the slight pink tints for people

Photo is pretty good. But I hear you...the Nexus 5 had very natural calibration. People thought it was washed out but I loved it!
Right now your eyes are just getting adjusted to LCD vs AMOLED.

Display Calibration

Now that we have Snoke Kernel which supports calibrating our displays, post your settings that you like. I prefer a cooler screen so here's my settings which gives a bit more saturation and close to pure white whites.
I used no colorimeter. This is only what appears nice to my eyes.
Since November ota, I've been using different display settings with the new saturated color function. Settings as follows.
What app do you use to calibrate the screen?

Thanks for your recommendation. I'm always looking for something that can adjust the whitebalance of my Pixel 2. The screen look a little cold in my daily lighting ambiance, but it seems that you think yours is a little too warm.
Yes, my screen was to warm for my liking in stock form.

Really late to responding. But I just used your settings. The screen looks so much better than the stock settings. The screen was the only issue I had with the phone coming from a 6p. I still have to adjust to having a smaller screen since I didn't get the xl.

Those settings seem to look best on my device. Pure whites and colors pop without looking too overly saturated.
Has anyone calibrated the screen with a colorimeter?

it does not matter , i've had 3-4 pixel 2 on hands at the same time and they all have slightly different screen temp/colors. you should do it on your own compared to a calibrated monitor.
With the Saturated Profile.

Extra calibration option for washed out colors?

Hi guys,
I just have a quick question about if there is any extra calibration options for the colors on the display?
I was comparing my OP6 with my S9+ and with another OP6 and colors seems a little washed out in mine, for example is very noticeable on the quick settings panel or on gray apps such as Netflix or spotify, on my friend's OP6 seems like a very dark gray almost black while on mine seems almost like a gray on an LCD screen, also other colors such as blue or red look more vivid on his, I have attached a few pictures for comparison, the pictures were taken using the "default" mode in screen calibration settings and with the same level of brightness on both.
My questions is if there is any other more advanced calibration settings to make colors more vivid and darker blacks on my display? Even if they look oversaturated and "not real" like in samsung devices that is what I'm looking for.
Thanks!
I'm having trouble uploading the rest of the pictures but I uploaded then to Dropbox on full resolution here:

you sure night light isnt on? also under display>colors you can change it some
natural
boosted
adaptive
The screen is naturally more yellow, compared to my 2 xl which seemed much brighter bluish. Not in love with the screen but oh well
agreed on the more yellow. compared to both my og pixel and 2xl.. the greens on the 3a stand out the most to me as being "too yellow"
it's not bad enough for me to not like the device though.
I'd assume something like KCAL could 'fix' it https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/dev-kcal-advanced-color-control-t3032080
i switched it to natural from adaptive and the whites seem a bit whiter. i would say the colors are defiantly not as vibrant as they were on adaptive. but they look more proper now.

Display isn't bright?

Have had the Note 20 Ultra from T-Mobile since Wednesday and then phones been be great except for two flaws. One is native gestures still not working 100% smooth with third party launchers - which is okay, I am using FNG anyway, but another is the screen brightness.
Despite being in direct sunlight, the panel doesn't get bright. Samsung claims 1500 nits of brightness, it definitely doesn't get there through either manually sliding the brightness or setting it to auto brightness. Definitely isn't as bright as my OnePlus 8 Pro.
I've annoyingly factory reset the phone to no avail. Anyone else having issues?
Yes, it's not great .... my Note 8 is brighter in normal use.
The panel does get brighter in strong daylight but the maximum manual brightness is poor.

It is some kind of protection bec extra brightness for long time damage Amoled displays so they decided to limit it in normal usage
It's bright but the white point is um, weird.
Reminds me of the Surface Pro IPS panels, always, always, too green!
And the ability to adjust RGB levels has nary an effect!
I want the ability to calibrate the display properly FFS!
I know it's a decent display but gimping the calibration ability makes about as much sense as putting bias ply tires on a Ferrari!

If you read what samsung say about its Dynamic Amoled panels you will understand why the white looks weird , they have implemented a Hardware blue light filter which filters the harmful blue light emissions that is why all new samsung displays show white a llitle yellowish , It might not be the best looking but is is safe for your eyes and renders a more accurate colors.

What's the point of having that?
It's clearly inferior to my professional displays.
Proper calibration and white point is *everything*.
It does NOT look yellowish, it has too much green.
That looks horrible.
After using it for a day I cannot believe how much better my Mac, 11 Pro Max and S20 Ultra looks.
Can you please tell me if the screen isn't bright if adaptive mode is turned off? (120hz)

Yeah, that is what someone pointed out. Thanks
Compared to the Note 10+ it's significantly brighter even in 120Hz, and I often need to lower it even with the adaptive brightness on.
It's somewhere around 1/5 or 1/6th of the brightness bar.

Question Screen temperature adjustment

I've seen a few threads here about changing the screen color but they seem to just be about boosting saturation. Is there a way to make the screen less yellow? I have root so there might be a few more possibilities.
Hi!
I might ask a stupid question, but do you have nightlight always on?
Because if this is off, the display does not look yellow .
(Settings - Display - Nightlight)
I find in my case that the whites on my screen change hue depending on the picture I choose for my home page. The one I am currently using makes the whites appear more yellow while another one I like to use makes them look pure white. Try to change images on your home page and check your whites after each change to see.
Can't say I've ever noticed a yellow tint on whites with my screen.
Quick tip on adjusting screen saturation on rooted pixel

He doesn't want to boost saturation. Just tweak white balance.
I'm using Color Changer Pro, mostly to adjust saturation, but also to balance whites. Without it the tint on my screen is pale yellowish

Yes, with the app cf.lumen you can really adjust the RGB value (I suggest lower green by -8-15%).
