How bright is your always on display time and date? Mine is almost always full brightness (that is, as bright as it would be in the phone was on) although occasionally it's dimmer.
Mine is never bright, kind of dim all the time. I don't think the light level in the room changes it. In a normally lit room, I can see it just fine, dim but there. I can see it better in a darker environment and in direct sunlight, I'd have to shade the phone.
My wifes S8 had it and didn't like it. I at the the time didn't care much for it myself, i've got it turned on my my Pixel2. It does make it easier to find the phone in darkness.
I did a factory reset, restored from the cloud backup and then the display was dim. For two hours. Then it got bright again

Do you have a protector that covers the ambient sensor? If it does depending on material and lighting the phone may think it's brighter than it actually is and turns up the brightness.

mines bright as hell in direct light, and dim without.

Covering the sensor makes it really dim. Shining a bright light makes it bright.
Compare the first response, whose phone was always dim.
Thanks

When I first turned on the phone I noticed some screen bleed on the very top of the screen if you were holding it vertically.
It doesn't seem to be bothersome when in use...you can barely notice it.
Anyone notice any ???
btw, the screen is great....
I kinda see what you're talking about, but coming from the MT4G with a "bad" display the difference is night and day. If I looked at my screen from pretty much any angle at all it would look all washed out, but now the colors and contrast are still there. I agree, the screen is great!
Does anyone else notice tiny light blue dots on their screen when they tilt it at a certain angle?

I don't have this issue either.
Yes i have seen it.
You need to hold it in direct sunlight and at a slight angle. Dont have a clue what it is though.

That sounds like the sensor points (or whatever they're called) for the touchscreen digitizer.
That would make sense.. it never bothers me as you only see it in direct sunlight and at a stupid angle.
I have never seen it during normal use even in bright light.

Yes that is exactly what I was talking about. The sensors make sense actually, never thought of that. Doesn't bother me either, was just wondering if it was only my screen.
Thanks guys!

haha this is the first time I've ever seen it. At first I thought I was seeing things because everyone else I showed the phone to couldn't see anything
Thats the proximity sensor and the light sensor. Cover the sensor with your finger, Screen brightness will change if you have auto brightness enabled.

Reflection under glass

Not the oval thing on the top beside the logo, on the actual capacitive screen itself.
I think the dots are just used for the capacitive screen to work. Also, I've noticed that connecting the dots on each line is a horizontal line on each row. I only saw this when putting it next to my lamp thou.

Yes I saw those lines as well! Had to hold it up to a very bright light lol
At the right angle, the reflection from the sun will shot the dots. It's the digitizer, and it looks cool to me. =D
I have a Note 2 and a Nexus 5. When I first turned on my N5 I noticed something was up with the display (not the camera). Then when I put it side by side with my note 2 it was obvious that the N5 has a bad purple tint to the white screens.
My nexus 5 has a warm display, but not purplish. The whites have a slight reddish hue.
Mine is massively too warm, whites are yellow

Well thats good that the displays seem to at least be consistently off. Should be easier to rectify. Either way the display still looks gorgeous even though the colors are off a bit. Will look stunning once someone gets a kernel out there that allows us to properly calibrate the colors.
Mine is really brownish warm too with backlight bleeding in the corners. I'll take a picture next to my Nexus 4 when I get home.
In the meantime, could someone take a side by side picture of their Nexus 4/5 using a white background?
Thanks.

Has anyone found a watchface that's real easy to see outdoors in bright sunlight? If so which one. It seems like everyone I've used is hard to see outside in the sun.
For me, the stock classic is real easy to see. Are you using black or white faces? Also you could try turning up your brightness level before going outside as you can't change it once it seems the sun
Been using this one. I'll have to try turning the brightness up some.
just noticed my google pixel from verizon has serious light bleed on the top and bottom right corners. very noticeable on a black wallpaper or the ambient display screen. anyone else face this issue, defective lcd i suppose? :crying:

Light bleed comes from screens that are backlit by an LCD or LED. The Pixel uses an AMOLED screen, which does not use a backlight. Instead each pixel (of the screen) produces it's own light. Therefore, there can be no light bleed.
If you are seeing something resembling light bleed, I think you have a bigger problem that should be covered under warranty.
You should upload a picture so we can see what you are looking at.
im assuming it was a defective panel. so i got it swapped out today. new one is fine. amoled or not it seemed like light bleed to me on dark wallpapers.

Yeah, I figured there was a problem with the panel, glad they changed it out for you.

Its not typical backlight bleeding since as u said there is no backlight, but its the same thing that causes grey uniformity issues. Contrary to what people think amoled does not 'shut off' pixels when displaying black unless screen brightness is at a very low level. When checking the screen for uniformity with a grey backgrond my amoled screen has a yellowish tone in bottom left area and this same area wont display 'pure black' unless brightness slider is at a certain position.
