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

I think its more a problem with calibration.
In this video you can see the display has a blue tint compared to the P9

Mine once changed to warm temperature looks pretty good.

I set the color adjustment to 12:00 to add some red. Its slightly better, if i change to warm temperature the display becomes a little green

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...
Rate this thread to express how well you can see the OnePlus 5's display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I find I fairly often have to adjust it to its brightest (when the automatic adjustment hasn't) in full sun.
No issues here, screen is superb.
Very few issues with this phone, camera when compared to my last phone.
What I would like to have was a better access to the brightness bar. Instead of two swipe downs from the status bar, something more easy and pratical to just quick change the brightness.
Some AOSP roms had swiping on the status bar to change the brightness.

You can swipe down with two fingers.
Personally visibility on sun is not that good as I had on OnePlus One or atleast I can't read nothing not direct sun. :/
I asked on other threads about screen legibility, and many owners told me that it's perfect readable under direct sunlight, even more than Mate 9.

I got the Mate 9 Pro and One Plus 5, and honestly my Mate 9 Pro is better under direct sunlight than my OP 5.
If I compare the OP 5 with my Xiaomi Mi Mix, the OP 5 is better under direct sunlight than Mi Mix. I also got the S8 Plus and that is better than the OP 5 under direct sunlight, but not for much.
I still love this phone.

I'm in doubt between these two phones. Actually, the Mate 9 non-pro of 6gb/128gb. Could you help me with your impressions?
Thanks in advance.

The phone is already difficult to hold with one hand..
For me, it's decent but not great. Better than the Asus Zenfone 2 I came from, but I could definitely have some more brightness under direct Indian sunlight.
I find it pretty hard to see the screen but....I'm 54. You younguns still have good eyes. LOL (As you get older your vision needs more contrast/brightness in general.)
But, it's not just about brightness. It's about glare/reflectivity. If there are a lot of things other than the sun, like all manner of things in the world around us projecting their shiny bits at my phone, then it's mostly unreadable.
I'm going to try a screen protector that is not so reflective.

Well, I don't have the mate 9 I have the mate 9 Pro. Honestly I like both, the Mate 9 Pro is a beautiful phone, nice camera, beautiful design. The OP 5 is a nice phone, super fast, camera not impressive, I have the jelly effect, but not bad enough for me to return my phone.
At the end you have to weight your options, do you want good looking phone with good pictures and great design, good battery life, go for the Mate 9. If you want a super fast phone, with good pictures depending on the light and depending on your shaking hands, great battery life and good development support go for the OP 5.

I had the Mate 9 Pro and replaced it with the Oneplus 5.
They both have their strengths, it comes down to what you are looking for.
Something that surprised me though is that I feel the display of the Oneplus 5 is actually better. Even though it's 1080 and the Huawei is 2k.
Considering the price difference, the Oneplus is the better phone. It's also faster and has a better battery life.
The Huawei has infrared port, smarter implementations in the software such as knuckle gestures, screen recording and so on.
In the camera department, the Huawei has a much better front camera because of the auto focus.
The rear camera is also better in the Huawei, but Oneplus gained in a little with the latest update. The Huawei camera is more consistent, whereas the Oneplus is hit and miss sometimes.
And lastly the Huawei has a better design. More stylish.
One of the best performing phones in daylight as it's oled, no problems here at all. Might need to adjust brightness at best.

You must be yoking. First you're told how to use two fingers rather then one finger two times. Now you can't hold it.
Max brightness is way too low. Wish my OP3 were alive so I could compare them directly, it looks like 5's brightness is lower.
For me, brightness could be a little bit better.
Swipe left and right in the status bar for brightness would be very nice.
Hi my mom really like the Aurora Blue version of Huawei Mate 10 Lite, the only thing that stops us from getting it is that were not sure how it will behave under natural light conditions, which is why we still keep Samsung as an option.... I had an IPS display phone (although i admit the phone wasn't that great), and while in interiors even lighten ones it was okay visibility wise, outside it was horrible, many times not having decent visibility even in cloudy situations.... How is the Huawei Mate 10 Lite in natural light situations compared to something like Samsung's C7/C5 ?
Hello,
I have OnePlus 8 Pro and Oppo Find X2 Pro.
Under 5% screen brightness OnePlus has huge black crush.
They fixed it with beta DC patch, which makes colour accuracy hitting the floor.
Oppo has very small black crush on minimal brightness level.
Both Oppo and OnePlus have the same screen model (just differently calibrated - OnePlus has extremly vivid calibration just like S20 and Oppo has very good natural colour calibration) - but same problem:
between 5-10% screen brightness there is a step which is making everything tinted green.
You slide brightness from 1% to 10% and you will have colours like: ok ok GREEEEEEEN ok ok ok.
I won't accept 1k€ phone having such bad screen, so I am thinking about trying flagship Xiaomi,
can you go into complete dark room and slide brightness from 1% to 10 and tell me if the colours stays the same?
I also have S20 Ultra and iPhone 11 Pro Max - their screens are just perfect (iPhone has much warmer screen, very pleasing to human eye), but I don't like iOS and Samsung has pure garbage Exynos CPU in EU.
Interested as well
Any kind soul to check as per OP request?

I've tried it. Miu12 xiaomi.eu latest stable. No issues, screen colors remain very consistent. Let me also note that this phone/rom combination has a really good auto-brightness implementation. I've had numerous phones, this is the first one i never need to manually fiddle with brightness.
My only complaint about this phone (or miui) is its out of the box aggressive memory handling. Need to tune many settings of apps to not miss notifications.

Thank you for checking!
In the meantime I also discovered a fix for my Oppo screen problems -
there is an option called 'low brightness flicker-free eye comfort' and after turning it on the screen is perfect.
It is basically the same thing as OnePlus did (PWM/DC patch), but this one actually works,
while on OnePlus it fixes one thing and brake two others.
Long story short I'll be staying with find x2 pro, because of 12GB DDR5, 512GB UFS3 and
well baked ROM with good RAM management.
Have a nice day.
PS. Auto-brightness is indeed bad on Oppo, Samsung and OnePlus and it's great only on iPhone.
Another thing I'm missing with Oppo is wireless charging, but I'm OK with those issues.
I just messed with the Pixel 7 pro at Best Buy before mine arrives tomorrow and I am a little alarmed at how bad the screen looks. I normalized the colors and settings on both the Pixel and my S22 Ultra and the Samsung is brighter, more readable, less dim, if that makes sense, than the Pixel. Even at low brightness when I was messing with things the Samsung had readable text. When I lowered the brightness on the Pixel it started to look just hazy and muddy. Both devices 1440p. The Pixel's auto brightness kept failing. It stuck with what I moved the slider to even after toggling the option. A reboot seemed to fix it temporaily.
Anyone who came from an S22 phone and has a Pixel now, what are your thoughts on the screen?
In terms of specs, Samsung is using a "Dynamic AMOLED 2x" panel, according to Phonearena, and the Pixel is using "LTPO AMOLED".
A side question, can you manually set your colors for text, background, etc? Or do you HAVE TO use the material you nonsense and let it pick for you? If so, anyone know if the Pixel 6 has mods available to make it more manual without using exposed?

I had a S22 for a week or so and the wife and I had a 21 Ultra for over a year and a half. Neither of us have had any readability issues with our Pixels. She has a 6 Pro and I have the 7 Pro now. The only thing I didn't care for is the hollow feeling and sound when tapping. The auto brightness is a bit more responsive on the Samsung but it works fine here. Other than that we are very happy with the switch. My advice is to try it out for yourself and ignore the kool-aid floating around. I was concerned at first too.
My pixel 7 pro arrived today. Screen is crap. Yellow tint to everything. Colour temperature doesnt seem right. Its as you say, looks muddy, drab. I'm coming from a oneplus 7 pro which has a fantastic screen. Its been reported but google havent acknowledged a problem yet.
Its really dissapointing... Has anyone else compared their pixel to another OLED phone?
Pixel 7 & 7 Pro display colors appear washed out on some units
A section of Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro users are reporting that display colors appear washed out and whites have yellow tint.

Screen is superior to the S22 Ultra according to DXOMark and sits behind only the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Google Pixel 7 Pro Display test - DXOMARK
We put the Google Pixel 7 Pro through our rigorous DXOMARK Display test suite to measure its performance across six criteria. In this test summary, we will break down how it fared in a variety of tests and several common use cases. Overview Key display specifications: 6.7 inches OLED (~89.6%...

Certainly better than any screen on any phone I've ever owned but to each their own.

LOL no, i dont have night mode enabled.
I know these things are subjective and what's technically correct might not be what people prefer. For instance a warmer colour temperature I think is what might actually be correct and accurate for a cinema/movies, but for general display use people I think usually prefer a cooler white over a warmer one. Like if i look at a sheet of A4 paper in daylight, it looks white as white, not with a yellow tint.
Its very difficult to photograph the difference. Human eyes are more sensitive the the difference in colour temp. However...
The one way i can think of to show the difference between a cooler (normal for most phones?) display such as my oneplue 7 pro is to take a photo of ONLY the oneplus's full white screen. I can then use photo as a custom white balance on my DSLR. So that the oneplus screen is what the camera will use as true white. Then we can see a direct comparrison against the Pixel 7 pro and see that its got a warmer/yellow colour temp/tint. I also adjusted the brightness of each phone to be the same by using the DSLR to measure the brightness.
See photo below. Untouched image on the top (oneplus on the left, pixel on the right). Then a saturation boosted image below that.
I think all google needs to do is add back the option to manually set a cooler colour temperature and also add an option to boost the saturation. I know this likely isnt "accurate"... but people like pretty colours lol and have probably got used to oversaturated OLED displays.
I personally love the display on this phone. No complaints about it.

I have my Pixel now and this is correct. The screen is like dim and drab compared to the galaxy at the same brightness level in exactly the same place. I have everything set up the same on both. 50% brightness on the Pixel doesn't look close to normal compared to 30% on the Galaxy, or what my Oneplus 8 Pro was either.
This is pretty disappointing. Still going to give it a chance for a week before I decide but this is noticeably worse.
The kicker with this is that Google provide almost zero customization, even compared to Oneplus. I am totally ok relying on mods and root, which I will be doing, but it needs to be at least possible.
Actually! This should give us the proper answer! I just read on the below link that 'A colour temperature of 6500 K is standard for ordinary PC use and for the sRGB standard'
https://www.eizo.co.uk/knowledge/monitor-expertise/color-temperature-on-an-lcd-monitor/
I've set the colour temperature on my DSLR manually to 6500K. So anything that is 6500k should look white on the photo. Again, photo below comparrison from oneplus 7 pro and pixel 7 pro with the saturation boosted image on the bottom.
The pixel is defo yellower vs 6500k standard. The oneplus is bit too blue vs 6500k. Either way... yes. the pixel has a yellow tint vs what it probably should be (given no user settings for us to be able to change the colour temp settings.
Comparing the Pixel 7 Pro side by side with the Pixel 6 Pro and S22 Ultra. The S22 Ultra is brighter and more saturated which I think looks better. The 6 Pro and 7 Pro screen both have a duller "natural" look with the 6 Pro slightly red and the 7 Pro slightly yellow, though white looks acceptable on all three. The brightness on the S22 Ultra at 40% is similar to the 7 Pro at 60% and the 6 Pro at 80%.
We need to petition Google to bring back the Saturated mode they had on previous pixels.
Unless one has a particular need for absolute color fidelity, it all comes down to what pleases. Hence discussions like this can seem pointless. For those who care about the technical analyses, however, here's a link to DxOMark's Google Pixel 7 Pro Display test. The P7P scored 153 points for Display Color. (High at 163 points was the Sony Xperia 5 IV.)
Color measurements for the Google Pixel 7 Pro are close to those of the reference target, and thanks to its color fidelity, the new device provides realistic and pleasant color rendering. The Pixel 7 Pro adapts its color gamut to image content and is uniform in color. Unlike the Apple device, however, the Pixel 7 Pro does not adapt its white point to the lighting environment.

Curiously, however, the DxOMark table of all smartphone display scores lists the iPhone 14 Pro Max first with 149 points, immediately followed by the P7P with 149 points. The Samsung S22 Ultra is tied for tenth, with the iPhone 13, at 136 points. For some reason, DxOMark didn't score the OnePlus 7 Pro's display. DxOMark did rank its selfie camera (22nd at 113 points vs. 145 for the iPhone 14 Pro, 142 for the P7P, and 133 for the S22 Ultra).

All I want is a setting to manually adjust the colour temperature.
Its a stupidly simple thing to implement and I think it might already be there, just disabled from us being able to change it?
If you go to settings, make sure developer options is enabled. Then search settings for 'Color temperature' You can see theres an option for 'cool colour temperature' that shows up in the search results. But if you click it, it takes you nowhere. So its there in the dev options, its just hidden so we cant actually get to it and enable it.
Also on the on the DxOMark tests, this bit is interesting >

I bet you someone can figure out how to access that color temp menu. Let's see if someone comes across this and figures that out. Do dialer codes work on this phone? On the s22 they don't.
