Okay so I have a S6 Edge in Black Sapphire 64GB from pre order and date on box is 03/19/2015 made in Vietnam and I got a Gold Platinum 64GB edge today date on box is 04/05/20015 made in Vietnam so compared both screen and the gold seems brighter on all setting and color seems better on gold here are some pics I know this has been brought up before but here are several pics what do you guys think!
Same display modes?

Yes same display modes and settings I'm wondering if it's because the black has two weeks of use and gold is brand new.

I now have an M9 because of the very problem you listed. The black edges have screen issues. I went through several at the store and they all looked yellow and low quality.

I've got a black edge and my screen is flawless. I actually received 2 edges and both are great, one just had scratches on it.
All of the Edges I looked at had scratches and dull screens. They also had the auto brightness issue. Great phone besides those things.

My biggest gripe with the edge is the uneven tone across the screen. Going into to best buy in two weeks to swap for a unit from a new batch. At least I hope. One would think that they'd have a new batch in two weeks b

Get it replaced !
Well I'm sending the black one back due to the light scratches and the gold platinum is my replacement which I'm keeping it has no scratches screen is better and overall the phone feel snappier I don't know if it's possible or just me and this gold platinum looks really good compared to that black blueish color!

Same here got black and my wife have gold one, when gold is on half brightness is the same as i got on full so will go to three for replacement. When restarting the phone screen on three logo is going to full brightness for one second than back to dim after.

Make sure you have auto brightness of on both when your comparing because it could be the phone's ambient light sensors reacting different to the lighting conditions.

Hopefully this is just because the black units seem to have been produced the earliest. Fingers crossed newer batches will fix everything.

The thing with the different screen qualitys is also one thing, which i have noticed.
In berlin we have a samsung store, where we were able to get our hands on the s6 and s6edge some weeks before release.
On all those models which i tested and compared there, the s6 edge had a "bluer" white than the s6, which had a more "yellower" white. In direct comparison the screen and especially white backgrounds seemed much much better on the s6 edge. Yes it was a bit blueish, but the s6's white was more a sand tone, not white at all.
But on those devices in normal electro stores right now, its the opposite. There are defenitely the final models represented and on those, the s6 now had a better white.
Strange strange.
One more thing which i realised is, that under sunlight, the screens white seemed much better than under low light situations. Yes it is the adaptive display setting, but it switches from a very good white (slightly blueish) to a yellowish white in darkness or worse light situations. Maybe it has to do with the thing that a warmer white is better for the eyes in dark situations, but it is still anoying because i defenitely prefer the blueish white..
What is clear is from even the most thorough reviews of screens, is that the S6 edge can't be set to maximum brightness on manual settings alone. On both auto and manual settings, maximum brightness can only be achieved when in high light levels. This can be easily demonstrated by shining a phone torch on the ambient light sensor. Even when set to highest brightness, with auto brightness set to off, if you place a torch light over the ambient light sensor, the screen brightness increases and becomes very bright.
It has been suggested that the Gold Plantinum units have brighter screens than the black sapphire units. I wonder if the intense reflection of light off the highly reflective platinum versions, results in an increased light level around the ambient sensor, which results in the higher screen brightness of the Platinum version, in what appears to the human eye to be identical surrounding light levels. Probably a crazy suggestion and of course this can be easily disproved by using a torch light above both phones ambient light sensors!
What is a fact is that turning up to maximum brightness with auto off does not reach the highest brightness levels unless the ambient light sensor is detecting the phone is being exposed to high levels of ambient light. Screens will differ, as they do are often sourced from more than one supplier or factory.
---------- Post added at 11:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 PM ----------
Remember brightness is one indicator of screen quality but by all means not an indicator of a better screen. Resolution, colour reproduction, refresh rates etc are all other key factors. So just because yours is brighter doesn't necessarily mean better.
It could also be that an ambient light sensor is defective, thus resulting in the phone increasing the brightness of the phone display as a result of incorrect information from the ambient light sensor. The pictures in this review were not taken in extremely bright light, so apit's possible, that the black sapphire phones ambient sensor could be correctly detecting the light levels, resulting in correct adjustment of screen brightness. The Gold platinum phones ambient light sensor, may not be working correctly, resulting in information that results in screen brightness being above those desired for the actual ambient light levels being experienced by the phone.
Whether you agree with it or not, it is a fact, that even with auto disabled, the ambient light sensor still plays a role in determining how bright the screen gets!
The screen was not only brighter but the colors were different shades too so this is not just about brightness.

Honestly considering returning my edge to best buy and getting the regular s6. That would give me a renewed 2 week return window and then maybe trying the edge again after that two weeks because the screen at the very least should be pleasing to look at and right now I'm just not pleased.

I have heard people mention this similar problem but no one posted a picture before.
I have s6 edge gold 64gb and a 32gb gold s6. The edge has very noticeable darker screen, dimmer colours and dirtier whites. Pissed off as the edge has the better cpu, runs 4c cooler and produces better benchmarks... But it's going back. Screen bugging me
Shame as the battery life is incredible

Hi Guys - great phone which I've had a week or so now. Upgraded from the first Galaxy S.
Now I must admit to having very good eyesight (sometimes wish I couldn't see finer details!) and..
On white / grey images (download the various screen test apps to have a look for yourself)
The screen, when on a low brightness, is "muddy" and demonstrates a few vertical darker lines on the screen with mine showing quite a prominent one in the bottom right heading up about half way up the screen.
This is mostly visible when the brightness is at a minimum (regardless of auto or the powersaving options)
When the brightness is turned up it is barely visible, if at all... looks fantastic..
But.. at this point I preferred the screen on the Galaxy S which, when dimmed was more vibrant and didn't have this "problem"
Hands up who can see what I see? Any darker lines visible on your white / grey backgrounds? a side effect of this new subpixel arrangement? totally normal? some pixels not as bright in a row hence darker lines?
What do you guys think?
Cheers, B
W
Could you take a pic or something?
ASAP yes (no camera ironically so will have to ask a colleague!)
hold menu and press power button for screenshot off the device.
Yeah, mine set to minimum brightness and has some line artifacts like when LCD supplied with low voltage. (low brightness setting)
Easily noticeable when displaying grey colors.
I'm also using Screen Filter app, setting brightness even lower, some black points around 0.3cm is exposed at night.
Not sure those points are affected by anti-scratch film though.
Hola
I can confirm that I see the same "line banding" effect when using the device with low brightness. Like others have mentioned I also use the free Screen Filter app to get even lower brightness levels especially when reading stuff in bed in the near dark.
I would think this is a side issue with having the Super AMOLED Plus type screen but I guess only a Samsung tech can confirm.

Lowest brightness + Highest brightness.
Wondering those spots are caused by screen protector or defective screen or limitation of current AMOLED's.
You can see there is some current leak.(It should be bezel-like black if it is ideally off)

Not sure what those black spots are... is your camera messed up? There's spots on the right even off the phone...
Also yes, pure black for SAMOLED still produces SOME light, but it's almost indistinguishable to the human eye.
Take a picture of a dark grey image on low brightness and it should show the bands the best...

That spot off the phone is on the wall not defective cam. As you can see photos are taken at different angle. And it is visible in naked eye.
Yeah I like its screen very much. That black issues are no problem in real use.
I'm very satisfied.
So after reading posts about a pink tint to the screen, i decided to put it next to my girlfriends white s6. Wish i hadnt. Her s6 is CONSIDERABLY more bright than mine with a white screen. Didnt notice much of a pink tint, even though i believe its faintly there. More worried about the brightness level.
I made sure everything was the same. Same screen mode, same brightness level, same picture. Hers was much brighter and much more white than mine. Will take some side by side pics when i get home. Really dissapointed actually... Thinking about going with a regular s6 if i can switch it out.. Just to many problems plagueing the edge.
Anyone else notice the same thing?
Yes this is a problem. Both Edges we had were returned for that issue. They were also darker than the regular S6.

im not super worried about the pink tint, as many galaxy phones have had this issue and is later not as noticable, but the darker, less bright-screen would diminish image quality IMO.
What did you do? get them exchanged and next ones were better? Did u just get regular s6?

This was known some time ago. You should read AnandTech reviews at least before you purchase a phone. S6 will always be more bright than the edge.
Try putting a flashlight on the light sensor with auto bright off and brightness turned all the way up. Watch how bright and vibrant the screen gets. It is a programming error. We traded to regular S6s. I noticed my S6 screen also had a very dull screen. Returned it for an M9.

you mentioned two s6's. Was only one of the screens dull? Was the other one flawless? Opinion of m9 vs s6?
so the darker screen on the s6e compared to my girlfriends s6 is just a software brightness bug? i can live with this.. My screen isnt super pink either... If my screen is just as bright as my girlfriends, then ill stick it out for a software update.
My wife is fine with her screen. It seems better than my returned S6. The M9 feels better in hand to me. Speakers are not as loud but sound way better on the M9. The colors on the screen of the M9 are not as vibrant as the S6. Whites are better though. No stutters or issues besides that in my M9. I've yet to feel it get any hotter than the S6.

I actually read my first AnandTech phone review because of this comment. I've been using the site mainly for computer parts comparisons and reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised by just how detailed their phone review was. Thanks for posting!:good:
Also, however, to respond the forum OP's question, OP should definitely check if the auto brightness setting is enabled. With it on, max brightness goes way up, while with it off, the regular max brightness is relatively darker.

Edge is way brighter according to this LUX test, maybe you got a defective unit
okay been doing alot of reading. There seems to be a defect in the edge model, just about all of them. With auto brightness off (meaning the phone has no control over brightness of the screen), in a dim room with brightness bar cranked up, the screen will dim. When i did this test, my room was dimly lit. Will do some more tests later when iget home.
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...-auto-brightness-issues-strange-glitch-5.html
okay, so heres a video i took to demonstrate the issue.
its a big difference in my Nexus 6 vs the Edge. The Nexus is MUCH brighter.
I bought today S6 Edge and that was for me quite a disappointment.
But when you put a flashlight to a light sensor (or whatever it calls), you can see that S6 Edge has two more modes-both brighter. The first brighter mode is bright like S6 and the second one like S6 under the flashlight (or sunlight). That shows that the screens are same and that the problem is software. I cant wait to see, whether they solve this with the next update.

Same thing here. Samsung is still not solving the issue and it is aware since more than a month! How difficult is to be solved? I'm not sure they will ever solve it at this point.
Guess this is affecting only the carrier variants. Mines a international GSM g925i and I am in a dark room typing this with auto brightness turned off and brightness at 40pc or so..the screen is damn bright and it has remained this way without dimming.. So not a issue here. Also I think the brightness at 40pc is killing my eye right now..so its quite good. May be a feature requested by the carriers who knows...
No it's affecting the no brands also. Mine was no brand bought on the web store, in NL.

Guys check out my post on this issue. I have even given a solution for this
Just received by OP2 today. Initial thoughts are that it looks and feels very similar to OPO but the screen is a definite step backwards. Colors seem washed out, and even at full brightness it is dimmer then my S6 at ~40% brightness. Viewing angles also seem poor.
In my mind this is a bigger issue than lack of NFC or quick charging. The screen is the one thing you're constantly looking say on a phone, not some feature. It almost seems like the screen on this phone was an afterthought.

Coming from Note 5 it looked a little washed out at first. I've changed wallpaper to a bright one and not as bad.
I'm still happy with the screen.
U have to use it and it's never gonna match up to a nexus 6 or an s6 as they had QHD but I've had my op2 over a week now and it's great just go on zedge and load some wallpapers..

AMOLED screens have infinite contrast which makes them bright and punchy. Going back to just about any LCD it will look washed out.
KCAL COLOR PROFILE Amoled Style:
Colors: 255,255,255
Saturation: 285
Hue: 0
Display: 255
Contrast: 264
Gamma: 0
Much better!
IMO screen of OPT is a vast improvement compared to OPO.
Sent from my ONE A2005 using Tapatalk
Yes the screen is washed out compared to my note 5....not surprising really given the technology. However the more annoying screen issue is the constant dimming of the screen when darker screens are presented even when the adaptive brightness is off. The screen is constantly fluctuating and it bothers the heck out of me. Might need to use a custom rom just to get rid of it. Or sell the phone. Whichever comes first. Haha.
I'm disappointed as well, coming from the OPO. The lack of color tuning - no, that placebo slider in O2 2.1 doesn't do anything - leaves the screen with a too low gamma and too high color temperature, resulting in washed-out and cool-looking images. Stock OPO wasn't that great, but at least could be tweaked. No, I'm not looking for the overhyped Samsung AMOLED look that people equate with proper color rendition. I'm a photographer and all you need to do is put the same photos up on a computer monitor - even a business grade one - as on the phone to see how lackluster it is. By itself, it doesn't look terrible, but it's clearly not accurate.
I've got my opo2 yesterday and:
1. Screen is yellowish on the bottom! I read about it before, it was opo1 issue, but it seems to be opo2 issue too :////
2. Yeah, colors are washed out as hell comparing to my last phone - Samsung Galaxy s4 (but now white is white at least ) . Btw Is there any way to set contrast and saturation like on opo1? Why they don't include it for opo2 rom?
I compare the screens of my OP1 and OP2 and i need to say that is yellowish con OP2, isn't pure white and thats a very fault, i think that of warm colors.

Well, not at all... Unless I slide it 100% to the right, then whole screen is yellowish and bottom part is even more :/
I'm hearing many complaints about the screen from folks who haven't removed the factory pre-installed hazy plastic screen protector, either because they don't realize it's there or if they do don't imagine it makes much difference. Captain Obvious' pro-tip : take it off, the difference is huge (or YUGE if you're from Brooklyn).

Hello, I currently own a Galaxy S6 Edge, the black Sapphire one. The problem is that the screen is way too yellowish for me on white backgrounds, I did a comparison with my fiancee's HTC M8 and the difference is terrible.
I used to have some RGB sliders to caliber the screen the way I like on my previous phones. Isn't there any way to do the same on the S6 Edge to fix this ? (I'm rooted).
And BTW I don't want to use any screen filters as it decreases performance, i want real settings.
Thanks in advance
Have you set the screen to AMOLED photo? That should calibrate it to the right settings.
It's even more yellow with the photo mode :/
Bump, no ideas ?

The screen on the S6(E) is pretty darn accurate. Odds are the M8 is likely the inaccurate display and giving a bluish hue to the white instead of how white actually should appear. If you compare your phone and your fiancee's phone to a display that's accurately calibrated, you'll see how close to being accurate the display on your phone is. Also here is the review from Anandtech showing similar results in their display test.
Link: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7893/the-htc-one-m8-review/9
Most people are not used to having calibrated screens and therefore, view the bluish white as the correct white when the correct color temperature of white is more on the warmer side. Also screen filters such as Chainfire's CF.Lumen have very little if not zero performance reduction when running in root mode and they allow you to customize the temperatures for day/night/sleep mode with many options.
Edit*
Here is Anandtech's review of the display on the Galaxy S6(E). While there are small variances from display to display, unless you have a defective unit, I highly doubt there's more than a 5% difference between what you have and the review unit.

How is the screen uniformity on your Note 8 (outside of Adaptive display) I avoided the S8/S8Plus due to the red tints that affected portions of the screen, Ive seen a total of 20 display units for the Note 8 and only 7 had good screens the rest had 'dirty' screens when the display mode was changed to Basic/Amoled Photo, its a combination if either partial red tints or yellowish tints on sections of the screens and the demo units were just installed.
I check the screen with Basic mode, brightness under 50%, fire up chrome and check in landscape, also i use the stock sms app in landscape and i check if its grey background is 100% even from left to right.
I am just curious if Samsung has upped the quality control or its still all about panel lottery ?
EDIT:
Im more interested on feedback that is using Amoled Photo or Basic, as Adaptive mode drowns the screen with a more blue.

When say edges is it on the curved edge or even on the flat part at the top ? as I've noticed most of the red tint is from the top part.
Im also very sensitive to this, other things I have accepted like the grey full screen uniformity on AMOLED is just terrible compared to LCD.
I was hoping that this issue would be fixed. I had an S3 with bad color uniformity issues. My Note 4 is darker along the left edge.
Can't stand the tinting issues that these seem to have. Also dislike brightness uniformity. A lot. I understand that each panel is different from the next, but what is it that causes these issues?
this is why
It's better than my previous note, which was a 4 but still the white isn't as white as some lcd panels out there. I didn't notice any uneven red tint on the N8 either for mine or the wife's. Tilting and viewing and looking out for it I see it a little around the curves of the screen, nothing that concerns me. But there is some red tint in there but not as bad as some note 4 or 3.
Good thing is , there is an adjustment that can be made in the display setting to reduce the red hue should you feel the need. I'm liking it as it is in Reading mode.
My ZTE Zmax whites look better.

So to summarize, it's relatively uniform but I can still see a pink red crush/hue is present when white is being displayed. Using AMOLED adaptive reduces the red pink hue but looks like trash elsewhere.
So,yes it's still pink. Not much has changed since my Note 3 or 4 days. Then again those were pink or red in parts of the screen. Least the N8 is uniform pink.

I was hoping that this issue would be fixed. I had an S3 with bad color uniformity issues. My Note 4 is darker along the left edge.
Can't stand the tinting issues that these seem to have. Also dislike brightness uniformity. A lot. I understand that each panel is different from the next, but what is it that causes these issues?

I would also like to know the technical reason on whats causing it other than "manufacturing variance" and up until now samsung has not addressed such issues and some customers even struggle to have the devices exchanged.

I had a really good screen with my Note 3 and it was the reason why I skipped 4 and 5 due to the lottery.

Same here, but with my Note 4 one lower area was pink. T Mobile exchanged it and it was fine after the first replacement. The N8 is uniformly pink. LOL

No, I dont have the resolve to go through that exchanging bull**** anymore, too old for that. Ill either live with it, or send it back .
Last iphone I had owned was the the 3gs and 4s, yellow tint bull**** on those also.
I've had so many iDevices and Macs and never have I seen a screen that I'd even consider good, especially in the area of uniformity. Always darker on one side or the other. Always a bit more yellow here, than there. I've exchanged so many iDevices over the years because of screen issues. Every iPhone release is loaded with crap screens. At least according to all of the threads on various internet forums and groups. That is one of the reasons why I've never tried an iPhone.
FedEx lost my Note 8 and I might just say screw it and stick with the Note 4. My wife's Note 8 has the best screen that I've ever seen on any device with a screen. The brightness is completely uniform. I'd say that it does favor red a bit, but I'd hardly call it pink. Very nice screen.

Indeed, mines not pink like some of the S8 images posted. but there is some hue all over it especially as I normally run "basic" screen mode. Turned the red bar down a little and or use adaptive and makes it ice blue, I can live with it.
Another observation I noticed, if the screen is in Basic mode and I turn on Blue light filter setting, but turn down the bar for the filter to min, the slight pink hue on Basic mode goes away.
Can you adjust the colors independently in all modes or just adaptive display?
Just curious, isn't "warm" supposed be somewhat yellow color in tone ? It seems like when you make the screen warmer it goes pinker.

Seems just in adaptive mode.

I have a professionally calibrated workstation display at my office. Whites look like paper and I adjust everything to mimic it.
I was able to get really close by adjusting in adaptive mode.
Problem is with our devices we take them everywhere and the environment changes dramatically, bright, dark, pitch dark, etc.
This plays tricks on our eyes big time! So what may look perfectly fine in one scenario may take on a very blue or very reddish hue in another.
You will drive yourself absolutely crazy trying to adjust all the time!
Like an EQ on a stereo, you adjust contour for flat response and leave it alone! (but most people constantly tweak it!)
Find a reference point and you will be good.
My panel is very consistent.
You want to see a bad display look at the Surface Pro! They may have decent color when calibrated but when the lights go out HOLY BACKLIGHT BLEED!
I am so done with LCD and just want AMOLED on everything NOW!

While what you're saying is generally accurate, that's not what people who have the red tint or purple tint are complaining about. I've seen many amoled screens from Samsung flagships that I consider defective due to extreme hues that can't be "adjusted" to normal. In addition, only adaptive mode can be adjusted, so when the screen is bad, you cannot use any other screen mode without the tint ruining the quality of the display.
