My OP6 have this uneven lighting on my screen. It is visible when you have a dark grey background, in a dark room, and the brightness is on 5%-10%. It's also visible when you open up chrome app and close all the tabs until you got nothing but a dark background and a + for new tabs. Is this normal? Or should I RMA it?

Here you go
I don't think that's normal at all. At least my OP6 doesn't have that. The brightness is even across the entire screen.
Normally the issue only have Huawei and the LG OLED Panels.
OnePlus 6 have an SAMSUNG Super AMOLED Display, and there is no issue with uneveness Display in low brightness.
Can anyone else confirm this if it's normal or not? Please try again and use this image i attached. The uneveness is quite visible with it.
Go in a dark room.
Full screen it (make sure there's no other bright elements are showing).
And lastly, set your brightness to about 10%.
Please tell me it's normal :/
*edit. Funny, can't seem to upload the pic.
Welp.

@aserate: I have the same issue. I tested it yesterday and saw some lines and uneveness.
Im happy, that I bought the OP6 from Amazon. Now I give the OP back and buy the Mi Mix 2S without AMOLED.
Only Samsung build AMOLED Display without uneveness and lines. I tested the screen from Mate 10 Pro, P20 Pro, Google Pixel 2 XL, LG V30, OP 5T,...
All of these smartphones had a problem with the OLED / AMOLED Displays.
Im wondering, that the user, who test the phone for YouTube or a mobile site, dont see the bad screen.
I bought the Mate 10 Pro 3 times ans the P20 Pro 2 times from different stores. All the devices had a bad screen.
I hate the UI from Samsung, that is why I only buy now smartphones without AMOLED, only IPS or Super LCD.
I don't have this issue. I checked 5 different OP6 units and all were ok. Only one had some slight uneven brightness, but not as visible as on your picture.
Appreciate your feedback. I guess i have to rma this since it's clearly an issue. Praying the replacement won't have this. Sad to know after watching linus' op factory tour with all that quality checking and stuff, common issue such as this still exist. Welp.
There is a way to completely deactivate the top part of the display to completely hide notch. But I don't want clock on the left of the notch I want it on both. There is a way?

Rubbish? I´d tested all of the phones:
- S8 & S8+
- S9 & S9+
-Note 8
All of them don´t had any display issues.
I´d tested:
- Mate 10 Pro
- P20 Pro
All of them had uneveness and lines on the OLED Display
I´d tested now:
- OnePlus 6
THis phone has uneveness, too.
Now I have OnePlus 5T and this phone has a perfect OLED display.
If I have the chance, to get a samsung phone with OnePlus Oxygen OS, I would like to swap asap!

i rest my case as you said all are perfect this proves other wise
Got the same issue. Also on my fourth device already because of loose alert sliders. my fourth device has a loose alert slider and an uneven screen. right side is darker than the left side and its noticable in dark menus, notification shade etc on low brightness
No problems for me here in terms of uniformity.
Great panel, but I wish the calibration was better:
- calibration too cold
- oversaturated
- gamma way too high
- black crush
I had this problem in 2 Oneplus 6. I made a RMA and got a new unit, without the banding, but a defective corners (a white glow in dark images). So I got another one, finally a perfect unit.
The other one was purchased via amazon, with the same banding issue, so I got an exchange.
All of them were red Oneplus 6.
The OP customer service was very helpfull resolving the problem. I give a 10 to them.
Anyone can check the screen with this images or an app called oled tools. You need a dark enviroment and low brightness
Im kind of hestitant to replace since im on my fourth device already and dont feel like waiting anymore. Thinking about returning and waiting for the 6t. Id have to use my galaxy s5 for a few extra months though...
I just received my replacement unit 2 days ago, I was waiting for it for almost a MONTH. Unfortunately, I still have the screen issue. I can't believe I was waiting for nothing. While waiting for the replacement, I only used a f***ing keypad phone, and it was really hard for me. Have I known this issue is fairly common, I haven't RMA'd my unit just to have a big chance to have the same issue again.
Hi Colleaues,
As you surely know, Pixel 2 XL has some problems with display. My question is regarding the issue with the difference of showing colours in Pixel and other smartphones.
The problem is best described in Marques Brownlee review of Pixel 2 - when you open it from 9:30 minute approximately to 12:30 minutes.
So the main question: The problem with RGB colour : Is it problem ONLY for Pixel 2 XL or also for smaller Pixel 2 ?
I know that Google released the security patch (somewhere in Nov last year) with the vivid option , but that probably is not the best solution.
Thank you very much for the answer in advance.
Hi all,
I really Like this phone.
I have it since 2 Werks now. And its also my first AMOLED Screen.
In comparison to my previous phones, it Looks Like the refresh rate is very low.
Scrolling in Browser really Hurts my eyes after some minute, it blurs a Lot.
I saw that its already possible to overclock the Displays of Other Smartphones Like on the Mi 9. What about the Pixel 3a?
I have a OP-5t and ordered the 4a a couple weeks ago. I was worried the screen might be a lot smaller, but I ordered a screen protector and took a couple photos on top of my 5t. The blue frame is an alignment tool with inside opening the 4a screen size. I was surprised the 4a actually has more screen in the height, and really not much less in the width. The overall size of the 4a it's a lot smaller, and lighter. I don't have it yet, but I think I made a good choice!
I am coming from a OnePlus 3T and even though the 3T is bigger, it's noticeably smaller in screen size due to the bezels. I love the 4a's screen and color tones so much more and couldn't be happier for such a great phone for the price.
I just got my pixel 4a today and was also coming from a op5t.
The frame of the 4a is larger than the screen (vertically), but the actual screen of the 4a is not larger than the screen of the 5t in either direction. It's pretty close vertically but definitely smaller horizontally. The 4a is noticeably smaller, but it's also easier to hold and manage, and it's significantly lighter than the 5t too.
Hope the battery life is as good as the early reviews have been saying.
Yeah when I unboxed the phone, I was immediately stuck by how tall it is. I was expecting a 2:1 aspect ratio, but its actually a bit taller than that even. Makes me miss the days of truly compact options.
I'm coming from an OG Pixel XL. Does anyone have a side by side comparison? The Pixel XL is 5.5“ but has a wider aspect ratio. Whereas the 4 is 5.8" (taller but narrower). I don't have it yet but I wonder how noticeable the difference will be.

Screen on 4a should be 2.43" x 5.28"

Coming from a Pixel XL, the 4a is a good deal smaller. The reduced bezels mean that the 4a screen overall is actually taller, which is nice because I turn on the virtual navigation buttons. The width makes it much easier to hold in your hand, but it will take some getting used to because the aspect ratio change means that many images are noticeably smaller.

Good to know... I, too am switching from a Pixel XL and, even looking at phone & screen dimensions online, it's hard to tell what that means in reality....
This is my OnePlus 5t (6" screen) with image the same size as 4a screen. Height is very close to same, width is about .10" less on sides.

Most recently I had a 3a XL. Before that an S20+ and an S20 Ultra until I returned it (too big/heavy). My first thought about the 4a was "wow, that's a little fella". I like the size of the phone and the screen. A big screen is nice to look at but carrying the 4a around and using it is much more pleasant than the big phones. that S20 Ultra was a monster to carry around. If I had a pair of loose fitting shorts on I couldn't put it in my pocket - it would pull my pants down! And then you were worrying about losing or dropping the $1400 phone. This 4a is the ticket for me.

I don't have my Pixel 4a yet; but the screen protectors arrived yesterday; so I put one on top of my Pixel XL for comparison. Roughly, it looked like the screen area was almost 1/4" narrower; but also almost 3/4" taller.

Here are 2 pics comparing the OG XL, 2XL and 4a. I was using a pixel 2 to take the photo.
The 4a is the size of the pixel 2 with the screen of the 2xl (same size, not same quality )
The pics align the bottom of the phones as well as the bottom of the screens.
Don't be concerned with brightness. They were all set differently.
Hope this helps. I had to remove an OtterBox for the pic .
Disclaimer. The 4a is the absolute perfect size for me. I can use it one hand and don't feel like the keyboard takes over the screen.
How is the feel? Does it need a case, or will it slip from your hand?

Was thinking about this today.... I remember first getting my Nexus 6P and thinking what a large phone it was; definitely a bit unwieldy trying to use with one hand in many situations, and I've got large hands. Though the Pixel XL was a tad smaller & lighter, it essentially felt the same. Hoping the Pixel 4a is more in line with the "perfect size"....
coming from a galaxy note 5, the 4a screen is a bit taller but a lot less wider. It actually makes a LOT of visual difference, where everything looks much smaller and narrower on the 4a, almost as if I increased the resolution. There are options to increase fonts and zoom, but then the spacing between icons is greatly reduced and it doesn't look pleasing to the eyes. I think anyone coming from a wider screen, will not feel comfortable (I have big fat fingers) but anyone coming from narrower or similar width screen, will likely not notice it.
the pixel 5 has 1,000,000:1 vs the 4a 5G that has 100,000:1
Its good that the more expensive Pixel 5 have better components ie screen, speakers, vibration motor.
Just hope Pixel 5 does not look like that Pixel 4a 5G compared to my Note 10 when it arrives!
I just received mine, and I hope it's a bug but the colors have no punch, it's a little washed up (I'm coming from a one plus 3t). But their is little to no differences between color modes, so maybe something is not working as it should...
