Color saturation & accuracy - Google Pixel XL Real Life Review

Apparently the color accuracy is meh when you use the default mode.
However, if you use the sRGB mode in developer options, the color accuracy is top notch according to this review. http://www.techspot.com/review/1265-google-pixel-xl/page2.html
In my testing with the Pixel XL in its sRGB mode, this display is the most accurate I have seen. In my punishing custom CALMAN 5 accuracy test, the Pixel XL recorded an astonishing dE2000 value of 1.18, which indicates near-perfect color performance. The Pixel XL also reported near-perfect grayscale accuracy and spot-on gamma.
Not everything about this display is perfect. The sRGB mode tints the display slightly yellow (6333K), so the overall color temperature is not ideal (6504K) and this is noticeable in photos with a lot of white. The total gamut isn’t quite sRGB either, and falls somewhat short in blues and reds for total coverage of 92.8%. This only affects top-end saturation as color accuracy is fantastic through the mid-tones.

Interesting, I like the display better without sRGB mode active.

Me too, even though I use hardware calibration on my work monitor. sRGB may be accurate, but it sure made my photos and web content look dull...
I'm also trying to get used to using "night" mode auto where there are less blues after sundown. It's generally decent, but I'm glad there is a quick toggle for it when viewing version content...

One of the reviews said the sRGB mode actually does not provide 100% sRGB gamut. It was more like 95% sRGB I believe. That might explain why it looks duller, while the default mode has a wider than sRGB gamut.

Has anyone who had a Nexus 6P noticed any of the screen color issues on the Pixel? Referring to the half-pink half-yellow hues on the screen and whatnot

Anandtech posted their review. Looks like the display is default calibrated to NTSC for some odd reason and the sRGB mode is good but not great.

Thanks for posting this. I was initially going for this, ignoring the price and all, but that display calibration at that price point is simply not acceptable for me. And the camera in low light is not as good as Google claims either. This is saddening for me.

I looked at some display models in the new Google Shop at Best Buy Canada. Wasn't really impressed with the displays. Since there were multiple demo units, it became obvious they're indeed lower binned AMOLED. Some were greenish and some were reddish. Wasn't really impressed with the default screen calibration either, and since the developer options were disabled I could not check the sRGB mode out.

I know this thread is old, but I was wondering if any reviewers have retested Pixel color accuracy since Google changed specs from 100% NTSC to 95% DCI-P3?

I love the sRGB mode. Apparently Google removed it in the 8.1 dev preview.

It's back now in the final 8.1 factory image I just flashed.

I recently purchased a pixel XL few days ago I was coming from a moto g5 plus. What I find about this awesome screen is how vibrant it is. Only thing that gets me is when battery saver mode is activated its to harsh on the color of the top and bottom red strips.??

Almost perfect. Only the new Galaxy phones have way nicer displays. But this is already in top 10, I'd say.

Color saturation & accuracy

If you're colorblind, please disregard this thread. Rate this thread to express how you deem the color saturation and accuracy of the Huawei Nexus 6P's display. A higher rating indicates that you think that color accuracy is very high and saturation is excellent.

dislike the orange color though...too high
Damn. I'm colorblind. I guess I'll disregard
The contrast is so high (when not in rgb mode) that it's almost unbearable to look at (for fussy people like me).
Unfortunately the rgb mode seems to dull things a bit too much...would be nice to have something in between.
Similar to the Nexus 6 I felt the display was too warm so I was very happy to install a kernel to make adjustments.

With the display set to sRGB mode (developer settings), images compare very closely to my calibrated laptop.
sRGB looks very accurate.
White is a bit warm/yellowish in comparison to another 6P.

I did a re install of the factory image and sRGB got checked during setting things back up on accident and I thought the factory image messed it up lol. Then I read this and turned it off. Much better.
By default it's too saturated, like the older Samsung AMOLEDs. sRGB is a bit too bland and blue but better.
Once I rooted and installed a custom kernel, I specifically reduced only saturation and now the panel is great.
I have a Nexus 4 as well.
In Nexus 4, the white is really white. But in Nexus 6P, the white is yellowish/pinkish(and it is really bothering me). Is it just my display or is it the case with everyone?
P.S. The black is really black though and the other colours seem to be fine.

I recently bought Nexus 6P. The color saturation was perfect initially. After I tried the color inversion once, the saturation has got high. I tried fixing it through SRGB but the saturation gets too low. Not able to find a middle ground. Please help. Thanks in advance.
the only downside
display is old amoled
bad screen
i had zte z11 max
it has better screen
Yeah the Amoled panel in this phone is not good at all. However it gets tolerable with a custom kernel and color adjustments. This isn't a color accurate screen in any way. My Honor 8 and XA Ultra has way better screens even though they are LCD.

Compared to a over saturated Samsung it probably does look washed out, in the picture posted, look at the hearts, the pixel looks red and you can see how oversaturated the Sammy is

Well in contrast, look at the beach on both photos. When I looked at both side by side, Pixel definitely lacked saturation in my opinion. I guess it comes down to personal preference but I never understood why people wouldn't like Samsungs saturation. Makes everything look much nicer, and if one wants to mute colors, there are a bunch of profiles in the settings as well as adjustments for individual colors. When you lack saturated colors like on this Pixel to begin with, you can't just bring more color out that easily.
The Verizon I went to had it setup with some preloaded messages, didn't actually get to see the OS and working screens. My comparison would be to the numbers the display is measured at, delta E, gamma, etc,... that is the only true measurement of color accuracy.
A similar post on Reddit mentioned that the Pixel 2 XL is set to sRGB mode by default, and that there was a toggle to make it more vibrant somewhere in the display settings. It would be interesting to see the same comparison with that toggle set to "On" with the Pixel (assuming that the info is good, and that the toggle exists at all).

That's true, there was a switch "Vibrant Colors" under Display settings but it was turned on at the one I checked
Google devices have been historically very accurate with the screen colors. Going from LG/Samsung will be noticable.

People tend to get that way these days because of the way televisions are sold with the brightness and color saturation practically maxed out. This results in super unrealistic colors that tend to offset your idea of what "good" is while killing off subtle image details in the process. Samsung seems to like to do the same thing with phones, perhaps based on the same mindset that their TV guys use: Make things flashy.
In the showroom it may boost sales, but when I take my TV home, the first thing I do is tone all of that down to make sure the color balance is more realistic. For example, I want grass to look like grass would be colored, not neon-green. sRGB mode on Google's phones is nice because it does that for you, without needing any color filters and test patterns.

YES. So. Many. Times. This.
I shake my head when I see people show off their new TV's with sharpness at 100 and vivid color profiles with bright colors and cool temp selected. More power to do what u want with your stuff, but it just looks rediculous.
As a photographer using calibrated displays and a Photoshop user, don't make up your mind on Webb posts. And I want a natural and sRGB.
Love the super saturated colors. This is coming from a normal consumer without any "expertise" in anything related to the subject matter. My eyes like it.
I despise the over-saturation Sammy does. This is good news to me.
This is funny because although I was only able to see the the Pixel 2 screen (non XL) I'm positive both will have great displays. I do like Samsung displays however I hate when the over saturation shows the absolutely wrong color. But not too long ago the Samsung S8 & S8+ displays had a red & purple tint on the white screen. And that was actually a very prevalent issue which was fixed by a software update. After seeing the Pixel 2 display I thought it looked good.
I have read that the display on the Pixel 2 XL has a bluish tint when viewed off angle and that the LG V30, which is said to have the same display as the Pixel 2 XL, has screen uniformity issues.
I went to my local Verizon yesterday to play with the phone and see for myself. The bluish tint off angle is absolutely there. It didn't bother me but it might bother some. As far as screen uniformity I didn't see any issues. At least not with the display phone. I tested with light gray and dark gray backgrounds at high and low screen brightness and I used my hands to block out room lighting as best as I could.
Color saturation looked good to me. A bit more saturated than my Nexus 5X I used as a side by side comparison.
The verge panned the v30 display in their review today. This isn't looking good

Color saturation & accuracy

If you're colorblind, please disregard this thread. Rate this thread to express how you deem the color saturation and accuracy of the Xiaomi Mi 9's display. A higher rating indicates that you think that color accuracy is very high and saturation is excellent.

Color saturation and contrast is terrible, it is as if the screen is a knockoff. Can not get accurate warm colors like the mi 8 or the 1+ 6t that compare side by side. The display colors are horrible. Is there something I'm missing ?
Anyone ?
Miui default display setting always have bad color saturation, no matter the phone has ips or amoled panel. I always change the contrast setting to increased contrast. Now My Mi 9 display almost look like Samsung's one.
The greens are dull and faded, reds are too dark.
Can not get the right colors !
is there any display calibration app that can change all this ?
thanks
Same here with my GFs Mi 9. She started crying when she compared with my oneplus 6t... Am really curious if there is any fix to the really terrible display calibration.
It works fine... Just make sure you set the "contrast" to "standard" (strange name for color profiles. But whatever, it works)
The colors seem pretty natural to me when using that profile. But what I didn't like, is that when playing back an HDR video, the auto-brightness can still dim down the screen... This isn't supposed to happen, or at the very least there should be an option to turn that off.
Also interesting, is that given enough ambient light, YouTube HDR playback will in fact boost the brightness to max (but it won't on a pitch black environment) But if you are playing an HDR video from another source, the brightness won't be boosted at all, and you will have to do it manually.
And while I'm on the topic of HDR video, there doesn't appear to be any tone mapping going on, so some highlights will be blown. But it does seem to properly track the HDR EOTF until that point, and the color gamut does appear to be wider than when viewing SDR content.
So to summarize, this is a great display, and I think Xiaomi did include color profiles, but there's more work to be done... I'm hoping this HDR brightness issue can be addressed on a custom ROM, and hopefully an option to add tone mapping.
Given that GSMArena measured the display's colors to be really accurate any claims of "x" or "y" to be too "dull" or "faded" is just baseless. It's most likely you're accustomed to displays actually being wrong and want to reproduce that.
Do you set : raise contrast mode, or dynamic contrast ?
For me, colors are more saturated in increased contrast mode, it's quite beautiful and flashy, but maybe exagerated saturation
Dynamic contrast with warm colors looks fine, quite less satutared
Your thoughts ?

100% agree with you.
I use automatic and warm. Very nice colours
My Mi 9 has a really nice display. I'm very happy with its color reproduction and vibrancy. I come from a OnePlus 5.
Yeah, people complaining here came from very unbalanced screens and when they meet a really good one, think it is trash. Sigh.
On Mi 9 Lite best choise: Automatic is the most optimal for me
By my side I have a defective display that has too hot colors, wite are yellowish I had :
- Red : 62 %
- Green : 62 %
- Blue : 100 %
And with these seetings wites are just wite, you can imagine how yellowish it is...

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.

Question Screen quality and brightness - Galaxy S22 Ultra vs Pixel 7 Pro

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?

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).

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.
