Yellowish overtone - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers

Anyone else notice that there is a very slight yellowish overtone to blacks in some apps like YouTube with dark mode turned on and chrome with dark? If you compare it to the note 10+ or s10+, you'll see that the blacks are a bit deeper on those. I ordered two phones and it's the same thing. Erica the technology nerd even pointed it out. Is it because of the new amoled screen? It's not really a big deal since it's slight, but pointing it out.

You'll notice it if you compare with other phones. So don't compare and you won't notice.

Yep it's got a green tint to the whites especially in 120hz. It's weird. More noticeable on snapdragon units.

Yeah, I understand that there was a similar issue with the S20 ultra. Hopefully Samsung issue a software update for it. It's not a big deal since it's extremely slight on both units, but there is definitely consistency across all note 20 ultra I believe after coming across 3 units.

Are they snapdragon units you've come across?
I think it's a hardware issue. Don't think a ota will fix it

Yup, they are all snapdragon. All 3 pretty much look the same. It's very even on all 3 models I must say. No uneven coloring on whites or blacks. I can see why you and others would say it looks greenish. It looks like some mixture of green and yellow. It's not horrible to be honest, just looks a tad noticeable when comparing it to other devices like the punchier s10 plus or note 10 plus. It's like op said, if you don't compare them you don't really see it. Just wish Samsung had done better with the calibration of the screens. If it's hardware, then it's due to the new screens used. I am pretty sure most if not all snapdragon Note 20 ultra suffers from this.

OP3 vs OP6 Display

So I've had the op3 since it's launch in 2016 and it's been a great phone that has slowly deteriorated in recent times in terms of battery life especially and I've become less impressed with it's display recently especially when I compared it to a Nokia 7 plus display which is 402 ppi and LCD,but I found the display noticably crisper on it compared to the op3
My op6 is on its way now and I'm hoping to see a good difference in the display.I see that the display for op6 is also 402 ppi compared to 401 on the op3.
The op3 display is okay but colors kind of look washed out at times and the blacks don't look that black, It's never sharp and crisp,
Has anyone compared the two and found a noticable difference,maybe the display has gotten better since the op5 ??
Supposedly the op6 has a surprisingly good display for only being 1080p.
I'm coming from a Galaxy S8 with a QHD screen and find the OP6 screen to be perfectly crisp and fine, loving it
I also came from a QHD Samsung. The OP6 display is great, despite the lower resolution.
One criticism of it would be the max brightness is hardly enough outdoors. Just a little brighter would help. Samsung was much brighter, but I've never seen a OP3 to compare with. Otherwise, the OP6 display is nice.
I compared them both side-by-side.. Not a lot of difference in terms of sharpness.. Better color reproduction on op6.. Whites are more pronounced,a bit brighter too.
I'm coming from a 3t and I was surprised by how big of a difference there is, somehow op6 screen looks much sharper
Samsung and apple before going QHD (or "retina"): "That's just a meme no one actually needs that!"
Them now: "Everyone else's phone sucks ass we have way more pixels than them lolololololol!"
It's decent 1080p, great depending on what phone you coming from. Not usable on bright sunny days. Been a week and eyes still trying to adjust.
Perfer my note 8 screen. Night and day. Take 30minutes less of sot.

I came from OnePlus 3t and the difference was unbelievable , brightness in daylight is much better, lower brightness at night is more achievable and the biggest difference I found between the 2 when put next to each other is the whites. After 1.5 year the 3T gives a yellowish white while the 6 gives a true white color

Sounds promising,looking forward to comparing to my op3 when my six finally arrives this week.I do notice the yellowy,gray whites on the op3
Got my op6 this morning,don't see any great difference in display,so far not really impressed with the phone at all,pretty much the same as op3 with faster processor

That's great to hear. I've had to pay for a VERY expensive screen replacement on my S8 because there were no tempered glass protectors available. I just cannot bear to use a naked screen for fear of micro scratches.
My OP6 will be delivered tomorrow.
I have a request to make. How does netflix and prime video play on the OP6? does it play in HD ? The 5T had problems playing HD content when it released and none of the reviews of the 6 ive seen talk about that.

there are so many differences between these two phones...
design, camera, features, soc, size, notch, treble, seamless updates, no home button...
How can you say its the same phone with another SoC?

Yes,all this is true,I was referring more to the display,it's pretty much the same as the op3,the user experience also, I notice zero improvement in speed,although I know there is, battery is pretty much the same for me so far too,saying all that though I'm still happy because I know OnePlus will continue to optimize
Have the op6 over a week now and the display is definitely better somewhat than the op3.
Do think that content has a lot to do with it,hd images look much more crisp than ones with standard definition.
For example the OnePlus stock wallpapers don't look that great and are washed out,but if I use wallpapers from apps like backgrounds and Zedge they look amazing
I also came from OP3. The display on OP6 is much much better. OP6 screen is better outdoor compare to the 3.
The OP6 is very fluid.
I am actually dissapointed with OP 6 display to the point I am thinking of selling the phone. What bothers me the most is the PWM brighteness regulation bellow 25% witch such a low frequency. But I read it is common for all OLEDs so if you were happy with OP 3 you will be with this one.

This.
I also came from OP3. Compared the display side by side, and to be honest, there is barely a difference. The biggest difference is that the OP6 is better in daylight. I would say the display picture quality has not moved much since the 2016.
The biggest difference for me was the battery life. I simply love it.

A meme? you mean a gimmick? Lol

Does the screen have ghosting (low response rate)?

As it's a poor quality IPS, does the screen have any ghosting? I can't find an answer in any review. My old Oneplus 3T and dirt cheap Mi Max 2 also had IPS screens but they had zero ghosting, then I bought a Mate 20 which cost 3x more yet that DOES have ghosting, so if a high-end phone has ghosting it's likely the Zenfone 6 does too, especially if most people are saying it's a poor quality IPS.
This is the only video that mentions it has ghosting but it's the one guy, so I wanted more opinions to confirm:

I had the G5S+, where I noticed ghosting. Coming to the zenfone I was concerned about the same stuff but there is significantly less ghosting on this screen. I'm actually not sure there are ghosting, if it is its miniscule.

yes the way he describes it is exactly how I feel about my Mate 20, I'm thinking it might be using the same display. It's an amazing screen but as soon as I start scrolling text and images becomes blurry and I've never seen it this bad since the early 2000s LCD screens.

Nexus 4, Galaxy S3, Xperia Z2, Lenovo P2, G5S+ and this Zenfone 6.
I just tested it side by side with the HTC U11, it's actually more fluid than that one. Though I believe it has slightly smaller viewing angles.
I also think it's PWM free, it's quite ok to watch for longer periods. For comparison, the display on the LG G7 gave me a weird sensation (that one had PWM).

The G7 used PWM at a frequency of 1,174Hz, and then only at 42% brightness and below. If you're capable of noticing that you should go talk to Guinness about your record-breaking visual abilities.

Mine and my wife's doesn't have this issue..
Nope, don't want it either!
No green on mine.
I did. Luckily I got it replaced the very next day even if I *did* have to waste maybe 4 hours on the whole replacement process.
It was so bad that even on normal brightness you could see the green tinge on everything that was supposed to be black, or very dark grey.

Just green tint? Mine was being a little yellowish so i reduced the color temperature then there was green tint and finally today i decided to compare my note 8 and the screen is not even as sharp as my 3 year old note 8. I am on support chat in the process to return it. This one is 512 GB U1 Variant.
The smaller chipsets and components Samsung will substitute as availability/demand dictates.
This can cause one or more to be out spec and/or the firmware and/or updates to behave unpredictably.
Worse it seems the only way Sambert knows which part was actually used sometimes is to physically inspect the device. So if it's a firmware bug Samsung still can't remotely remedy it... perfect.
Using multiple main chipsets and firmware versions in the same model only adds to this confusion.
A lot of room for error... in a box full of rabid gerbils, what could go wrong?
None here.

Note 20 Ultra has a 6.9-inch display (496 ppi) when you have the resolution at WQHD+.
Note 8 has a 6.3-inch display (521 ppi) when you have the resolution at WQHD+.
Shouldn't be able to see any difference at that PPI level.
Did you have both phones on the same resolution when you were comparing?

Cute dog! haha.
Yeah of course, you don't want to be disappointed in anything with a new phone costing 1000 pounds. I think the differences year to year are going to become smaller and smaller, and a 2 or 3 year old flagship is still going to be amazing. Photos can only become so good at a point.
I think the resolution comment though, the PPI is negligible and not worth bumping the PPI to match Note 8, that would bring the resolution over 3K and probably lead to even more battery drain. But it could be a software difference as well and things are smoother on the Note 20U.
Back when I used to flash custom roms i remember some roms would appear sharper than others, so software can have an effect.
Anyway, yeah the photos look very similar. Fur is bit sharper on the N20U. Was that night mode?

The dog really appreciated the Cute dog comment and says thanks. The picture from N20U1 definitely looks sharper, no it wasnt night mode just took a quick one on auto settings. Night mode is really good and even better on the gcam (Trust me the software processing on goggle cam night mode is amazing). I will take a comparison shot tonight when i go out and post something tomorrow, where i am there is still 8 hours until i go out for that night shot.
Here's what you do if you really want to spot the difference. Activate chrome and YouTube dark mode on both the note 20 ultra and note 8. You'll see that the blacks are deeper on the note 8. The black on the note 20 ultra looks a bit yellowish in comparison. But funny enough, It only looks yellowish if you compare. If you don't compare, it'll seem just fine. That's why I've been saying it's not bad, but it's definitely not as contrasty and punchy as previous notes. But by no means is it horrible...and it's true, cute dog lol

Lol the pooch is welcome! :laugh: But I did the same thing as well too. Turned the green and red all the way down and the blue all the way up. It really does make a difference, but you can still see the the note 8, 9, s10 plus..etc has a deeper black. You can compare and see. Maybe Samsung needs to adjust the sRGB mode or something. Hopefully the next software may soothe this a little. Again, not a huge deal. It almost looks like blue filter on at an extremely low rate.
I have uneven brightness, specially at the bottom and right side of the screen, and banding when brightness is set to really low. Just look at it.
I've already asked for a replacement.

What background app are you viewing that on? Mine doesn't look like that. I use dead pixel to look at how even the Whites and grays are displayed. When I turn the brightness all the way down and open an empty page in chrome's dark mode, I do notice coloration, but it's more leaning towards being even. Let us know how the return unit fairs. I've looked at 3 different models with the yellowish overtone.

Question Galaxy S22 Ultra green tint when looking from the top (bad viewing angles) Problem

My Galaxy S22 Ultra has a really bad color shift when looking from the top. The screen gets a green tint even when you are looking only a few degrees from the top. You can see it here:
https://imgur.com/gUDFh2Z
(It's more apparent in real life than in this picture)
Looking from all other angles than the top the display looks fine. But it looks like the screen is shimmering if you turn the phone a little. I tried to caputre the effect on this video:
https://imgur.com/e7PghPU
I have my display set to WQHD+, adaptive refresh rate and vivid mode. The brightness when I took the photo was around 60%, but the problem occurs at all brightness levels.
My previous phone, the Galaxy S20 5G, doesn't suffer from this problem. The screen does not change color at all when I look at it from a slightly different angle.
https://imgur.com/H2S3KwV
So I'm wondering if other S22 Ultra users have had the same problem or if my phone is just broken and I should replace it?
Thx for your help
I have to admit I don't "see" it. I think the brigthness and the rounded edges may cause a somewhat "dark" line depending on viewing angle but I don't think it's a defect.

I also do not think that it is a manufacturing defect because I checked all the devices around me and they were the same degree of green, do you think it is because of the new type of glass Victus 7 Plus
I had the Note20U and it was common to see that on the edge on white backgrounds, which is why you can't see it in "flat" phones like the s21U and S22 non ultra series. I think the same applies to foldable phones when viewed in a certain angle with white background.
Mine does the same if I look at the screen from a very off angle. Had not taken note of it though until you pointed it out. Guess I was just not expecting a good quality view from such a steep angle. Just out of curiosity, I looked at a similar angle at my computer screen, TV, Kindle, Tablet, and an old phone. They all have various degrees of imperfect display when viewed from a steep angle although the shift in color was most noticeable on the S22. But still, I guess I would not consider it a defect.

I am a user of all versions of Sam and all devices have different Vision angles, but the Galaxy 22 Ultra is annoying and I expect because of the 1750 nit brightness
Mine has the same issue. I bring it to the Samsung center. Their demo device was the same. So i assumed it wasnt the manufacture defect. And most of the time, no one will look at the phone from the top down like that. So that was not a big issue at all. We should be thankful that the grey uniformity is much better than those from Sony or LG. The grey uniformity in low light on those phone were abysmal
It's not a manufecture defect, this is "normal" to curved screen on some viewing angles, same happens with the flip and the fold and the N20U, the flat S21/S21+/S21U/S22/S22+ do not have this issue as there is no curve

This is a problem, which is defined by the bad viewing angle, and it may be worse than the uniformity of the gray color, which may appear only in gray and in weak lighting conditions, but this problem is annoying because it accompanies you with all light colors, and it is a problem that appeared in the first batches of the Galaxy S21 Ultra and was referred to by some reviewers and it was widespread in the days of the Galaxy
It's faulty. My 1st S21 Ultra behaved the same way. Meaning it had a very aggressive color shift with the slightest of viewing angles. I understand OP fully.
I have the same green shift as well on my S22 Ultra. It was not there on my S20 Ultra. It is more likely due to "improvements" in the screen, what you gain, you lose elsewhere. While the green tint is there, it doesn't affect me as I look at my phone directly. Others trying to peep over my shoulder can enjoy the green shift.

Return it and get a phone from a different manufacturer or stop worrying about it.
Those are your only two options.

I have my display set to WQHD+, adaptive refresh rate and vivid mode. The brightness when I took the photo was around 60%, but the problem occurs at all brightness levels.
My previous phone, the Galaxy S20 5G, doesn't suffer from this problem. The screen does not change color at all when I look at it from a slightly different angle.

So I'm wondering if other S22 Ultra users have had the same problem or if my phone is just broken and I should replace it?
Thx for your help

Question S22 ultra washed out screen colors

I have just changed my s9 plus to s22 ultra and the first thing I realized was that the color saturation on s22 ultra was a little bit washed out in compare to my older phone even in vivid mode. I really loved the color tone in my s9 plus and other galaxy models. my phone has snapdragon cpu and I will be very thankful if someone helps me regarding this issue.

cheaper panels . Year on year they keep lowering the quality yet "improving " the numbers to appear better than previous models.
Is this color washed out in s22 ultra a known issue? are others experiencing this too?

I don't notice it that much to be honest. The Pixel 6 Pro i had was very washed out but Google go for a natural looking display, Iphone is the same and the Zfold3 I have has identical colours to the s22u I have. Perhaps Samsung are following Apple in that way now?

Do you use the S9+ also in vivid mode or is the S22u vivid washed out compared to S9+ natural?

Maybe it is decreasing the saturation in in the new models in order to get more natural colors and when you compare it with older samsung phones it is more recognizable

Yeah, I think that's what it might be.
