Thinking, I concluded that, to clear up the confusion about if the panel is from Note 5, S6, Note 4, the best thing we can do is to put the Nexus 6P under the microscope. And if we can take pics, it would be great.
Has someone a microscope?
There's pictures showing the matrix of Note 4, S5, S6, etc in Phonearena to compare.

The screen is great, yes. But there's so much confusion about what screen is. I think is good to have curiosity.
i'll see if i can whip out my 1:1 macro lens (the best I can do) and take a picture of the note 5 and the nexus 6p's screen later today

The idea is to examine a full white point in the phone, so we can see the matrix.
For example, this is from a S6 Edge+:

Thank you.
Here's what I managed to get with a Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro lens at 1:1 with a 5D Mk II. I did it handheld while the phone rested in a phone holder so it might not be fully in focus.
It's a 100% crop of a small part of the picture so you probably need a higher macro ratio to get a closer look. The screen is set at 100% brightness and showing a full white image. It looks like it's the same pixel layout as the S6 edge+ looks like it was set at half brightness.
Google already confirmed it's latest gen samsung panel: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/09/30/confirmed-nexus-6p-has-latest-gen-samsung-amoled-panel/
Brightness is indeed (much) lower than S6/note 5, not sure why ...

I really appreciate a lot the work you have done. Honestly, thank you.
I investigated and the Note 4 shares the diamond shape of blue and red subpixels, and oval green subpixel with S6 and Note 5. I thought we would see more differences. But your comment about the Nexus 6P panel looks like the one of the S6 Edge+ with half brightness is good!
Hopefully something like a High Brightness Mode is hidden, like in the Nexus 6. If it's latest generation panel, we'll be able to make it brighter without burn-in.
Thank you ever so much, this has been extremely helpful.
Samsung previously never sold any of its latest gen AMOLED panels to any mobile phone manufacturer. Motorola phones from the past couple of years that used AMOLED panels were using those that were 1 or 2 generations behind the ones on Samsung flagships. That was its advantage and it looks like it might have changed its policy with the Nexus 6P.
I don't think it's that simple. Samsung could be selling to Huawei panels that are below the top grade but not bad enough to throw away - they may be using the highest quality ones for their Note 5 and S6 displays but providing those that didn't make the cut to Huawei for a good discount. That explains how some of us might be getting colour bands/shifts in the pink and green regions on our displays.
So I just went through the kernel defconfig to see what LCD panel it selects. It doesnt. I'm not sure yet how it works but I think it just uses a generic driver.
I wonder what's going on here. Did samsung manufacture a special panel for the Nexus 6p ? Or did they use an existing panel but just used some trick to lower max brightness ? In which case we might unlock higher brightness ...
Is there any way to turn the brightness up on the 6P yet? I like being able to increase the saturation with Ex Kernal, but no options for boosting brightness past stock yet. Is pushing brightness past stock even safe to do on the 6P? Or even possible?

AMOLED panels are made from a wafer. They simply use the panels from the centre of the wafer for their flagships and sell the ones from the border which will not be as good (uneven colors, lower brightness, ...).
Knowing that this is a hot topic on*/r/android, I brought up the fact that testing has shown that on the Nexus 6P, its display has a lower maximum brightness and higher display power consumption than seen on the Note 5—key indicators of the AMOLED panel generation—I received knowing acknowledgement. So it turns out that the display panel is the same, but that much like the practice of CPU/SoC binning, there is variation inherent in AMOLED panel fabrication. Here, Google was able to procure the lower binned, yet current-generation displays from Samsung for the Nexus 6P.

Hi,
Just got my Galaxy SII today.
Compared to my old LG Optimus 2X, the screen is very dim, although very colorful. The whites are incredibly blue, as can be seen here:

The Optimus (to the left) is with automatic brightness enabled, and the SII (to the right, duh!) is with brightness set to max, manually.
The screen seems VERY blue compared to the Optimus.
Is this normal with the SII?

There's definitely color variations across different examples of the phones ranging from cool to warm. The warm seems to bug people more than the cool. In this long and painful thread you can see some pics of other phones side-by-side to see where yours falls.

I had a G2X, the O2X's bastard relation. I liked the G2X display but thought the contrast was just OK and it didn't perform well in daylight. The SGS2 screen because of the black-blacks and exaggerated colors took some getting used to. After two months, I look at an LCD display now and go ewww. You'll probably feel the same way when you get over the shock. Watch a movie, that'll make you feel better

I appreciate your input, although the blue is so bad, it gives people in the vids a kind of smurf-ish look.
And besides that, the off-center viewing angle makes the blue tint even worse. The reviews praise the wide viewing-angle, which is as arrow as about 30-40 degress before the colors gets distorted.
ammm,,,i dont think that that much bluish tint is normal,,,,u sure u dint get a faulty handset??i mean yeah super amoled plus has a bit of a bluish tint,,,,but man! thats too much blue....(ps-i compared mine to some lcd screens so dont tell me to place it beside one)

yes,,Amoled technology alwayz had this issue,,,its very slight,,,u can not notice it that easily,,,but that much blue is not normal...
It actually seems as you'll have to look at the phone from a very straight angle, as only a few degrees will result in the blueish colors. And the weird part is - going a few degrees further will result in normal-ish colors (yet still very dim) - and afterwards turn into blueish again, "the rest of the way", if you catch my drift.
I'd go blue over yellow any day. But that's too blue and whoever you bought it from would have to be blind to not see it; return it. I hope you didn't buy it off eBay...

Got my galaxy s2 couple of days ago from expansys, it has no blue tint or yellow left side, the only thing it has is on lowest brighness setting on grey background bottom right corner you can barely see some kind of ring like shadow . Good thing you can only see it under that situation only.
Feel bad for others with blue tint and yellow side , get replacement ?
My captivate(SGS 1) and SGS2 both have same even whites.
Hard to see even harder to photograph shadow ring.
The ring thing is called the "coin syndrome".
The service center wouldn't acknowledge the blueishness as a defect, even though my phone compared to a demo GSII was an electronic smurf.
The blue tint is probably from the Gorilla Glass coating.

I noticed that my Verizon Galaxy S4 is much dimmer compared to my Galaxy Nexus at any matched brightness, especially full.
The Nexus just has that blinding brightness at full and the S4 doesn't, especially next to each other.
Is everyone else with both phones seeing the same?
you must be on crack or have a bad screen. full brightness on both and my nexus barely looks like its on compared to the brightness of the S4. i even put it up next to my friends N2 and it blew his away

Your phone is defective if the Nexus looks brighter than the S IV. My S III was a lot brighter than the Galaxy Nexus, my Note II brighter than both and my S IV brighter than all of them.

This might help (from Gizmodo site)
"The Galaxy S4 uses one innovative approach to overcome this—when Automatic Brightness is turned on, the Peak Brightness becomes significantly brighter in high ambient lighting than is possible with Manual Brightness, up to as high as 475 cd/m2, which is 34 percent higher than is possible with Manual Brightness."
Link to full article Link
Both phones are on manual brightness, s4 has the auto tone turned off and screen mode turned to dynamic. Yes, the galaxy nexus is slightly brighter at max than the gs4 at full...esp the whites. I cant imagine it's defective or different than others...
It's pretty damned bright. I usually just crank the brightness...this is the first Android device I have used that I prefer autobrightness.
GS4 Dimmer Than Galaxy Nexus at Full Brightness
Here are some pics I snapped of both phones at full brightness with no auto-anything on and GS4 is on Dynamic for Screen mode (and no auto tone).
GS4 is on the right. Notice how the GNex is slightly brighter in all cases (and even more so in person- the whites just really blow out bright and are blinding white).
Is this normal or not? Do you think this comes down to difference in screens/hardware suppliers? GNex is on newest AOKP too if that matters for screen settings/calibration at all.
The GS4 is plenty bright to me but I question things when comparing these:

If it is indeed not as bright as the nexus, then it may be a faulty phone. The brightness of the phone or lack there of, should not make you question it.

Hey this is guts311 again (OP), on a different user name.
Thanks for the feedback. Dansan, can you possibly post a similar comparison pic with the two phones for me to see what I am supposed to be seeing at max on both? I would really appreciate it.
Are any else's menu and back buttons also fairly dull at all times except for in the dark? I can always see them when they are lit up, but sometimes they are too dim even in decent light. Maybe this is all related.

Brighter, sure, but sharper? The font on the 6p is smaller and different so its hard to compare.
That pic is so blurry and basically no info.. Nothing can be gleaned from that.
the screen on the note 5 looks larger.. maybe because of the smaller bezels and off screen buttons? (i can't see any quality/brightness differences from this pic haha)
the only thing i got from this thread is "mines"
They look the same to me. But, I do understand tech nerds need straws to grasp at for every phone release..so be it.

He does good reviews but I don't see him as someone who is going to go out of his way to compare the displays with adaptive off. The pictures in this thread tell a lot regarding brightness. I'll have the 6P tomorrow and I'll be able to test this on my own.
Well this was a worthless comparison. They both are equally as bright and sharp indoors. It's outside where the differences are apparent. The Note 5 gets significantly brighter outside than the Nexus 6P does. And thats what will matter to most people. Rememeber the Nexus 6? Couldn't see that screen outside at all. 6P is better, but not in Note territory.
Gotta love it how desperate nexus users are to convince themselves that the nexus has same awesome display as the note 5 lmao
Even if Nexus 6P has the exact same screen as the Note 5, it will never reach the same brightness as it does on the Note 5.
If you have used an S6 or a Note 5 in sunlight with auto brightness enabled, you will have noticed a definitive "step" in max brightness. The first step is the theoretical max brightness of the display and the following step is the overboost capability which sacrifices contrast to briefly boost the brightness beyond the regular brightness.
This capability is absent in the Nexus 6P, the maximum brightness that you set with the brightness slider is the maximum brightness you will get.

Don't pay him any mind. There's been about 3-4 people that have played around in the 6P forum for the past month with practically nothing positive to say about the phone and he's one of them. If you have nothing positive to say about the phone, you probably don't want it, and if you don't want it, why are you here other than to spew nonsense?

I got the 6p yesterday and it is a great phone. It is users like you that wish it had exact screen like note 5 because you know it has the best. Let me help you though, nexus 6p screen feels different from note 5. More close to note 4 screen which wasn't bad actually. But hey samsung phones suck right, I doubt you have ever used one of them, so I am not even sure why you feel the need to compare them to the 6p ?

You've got some real issues hey? The 6P is using "The latest generation AMOLED panel from Samsung". So are you implying the Note 5 does NOT use the latest generation AMOLED panel? Maybe the 6P has the same panel as the Note 6 will have then?
I realize its useless trying to reason with you as reasoning isnt your strong point... but its the same panel, they simply limited the max brightness for battery reasons likely.
Anywho in the future I'll be sure to remind anyone who dares compare the screen of a phone to one made by Samsung that they are idiots for doing so and shouldnt even bother
The outdoor viewing is what worries me the most, honestly. I had a Note 4 before this ip6+ and I remember a huge difference between that phone and this one as far as being able to read it outside.
Yup, me too.
I have an S6 now, and I can honestly say it's awesome in direct sunlight.
But then again I'd still rather have a Nexus anyday. For that one small thing, I will sacrifice and max out the brightness slider and cover the phone so I can see it if necessary.
Where is my Nexus anyway? It's in post limbo at the moment between my house and the local post office. Doh!!!
Sigh... Brighter is not better except in direct sunlight. The rest of the time it f's up all of the colors on the internet as the internet is designed to be viewed in sRGB color space. I swear a part of my spirit dies each time I hear people talking about how fabulous Samsung's oversaturated unrealistic screens look. Those colors are nothing but comic book land.
...I am crossing my fingers that the sRGB mode on this phone is half decent or it is getting returned ASAP.
So, after using the G6 for about 3 months, i finally decided to sell it. Glad i kept my S7 edge. Well, i tried hard and really hard to convince myself to love the G6, but sadly just couldn't. It had a pretty good battery life, a very likeable design and an awesome wide angle camera ( Which i am going to miss). But, apart from these things, it was just a very very ordinary phone. Especially, when it comes to display, my S7 simply out performed the G6 in every possible manner. Not only just to look at it, but also in terms of comfort to the eyes. This is been my true observation and an honest opinion. So, the better blacks on my S7 edge and an over all punchy display ( in terms of sharpness, brightness, colors in some case and viewing angles). I eventually realised i was straining my eyes and i used to get stressed out to watch the same content which i was happily able to view on my S7 edge. But, i now miss that flat screen( i should definitely say, i have started to dislike the edge displays), the clean design and the wide angle lens, but at least to me, the display and the rear camera matters the most, which S7 edge wins hands down compared to the G6. So these are my final thoughts. Good bye once again ( With a heavy heart)

Good bye bro well get you soon with the lg v30
i accidentally used the G6 in comfort view and it was very similar to how my S7 normal looked which was funny.
S7 Edge is a great phone, for me though, from the S7, G6 is definitely an upgrade b/c battery life, dual sim, wide angle cam, hi-fi dac etc but from an S7 Edge is more like a side-grade
I'm currently using LG G6 grate phone not only just to look at it, but also in terms of comfort to the eyes. But i want to use S7 but i have no enough money to buy this phone . There are many qualities in S7 like sharpness, brightness, colors in some case and viewing angle .
And there it is again. Man you made a decision but you don't have to explain it in order to feel better. Because we don't care.
But it's only your opinion and your experience. For me, the LCD screen on the G6 is waaaay better than that pentile saturated screen, with no real colors. Remember G6 has a Dolby Vision and HDR10 screen. It can represent colors a lot better than the S7E.
What other things didn't you like about the G6?

So, after using the G6 for about 3 months, i finally decided to sell it. Glad i kept my S7 edge. Well, i tried hard and really hard to convince myself to love the G6, but sadly just couldn't. It had a pretty good battery life, a very likeable design and an awesome wide angle camera ( Which i am going to miss). But, apart from these things, it was just a very very ordinary phone. Especially, when it comes to display, my S7 simply out performed the G6 in every possible manner. Not only just to look at it, but also in terms of comfort to the eyes. This is been my true observation and an honest opinion. So, the better blacks on my S7 edge and an over all punchy display ( in terms of sharpness, brightness, colors in some case and viewing angles). I eventually realised i was straining my eyes and i used to get stressed out to watch the same content which i was happily able to view on my S7 edge. But, i now miss that flat screen( i should definitely say, i have started to dislike the edge displays), the clean design and the wide angle lens, but at least to me, the display and the rear camera matters the most, which S7 edge wins hands down compared to the G6. So these are my final thoughts. Good bye once again ( With a heavy heart)

Camera of G6 is better and on G6 you have fullvision display which is so nicee.
I was coming to my g6 from s8 and my feeling up to now is g6 better then s8, camera better, hifi dac better, battery better, the display bigger and brighter, only the design of s8 is good, but the camera is the thing i focus then the design, although i get one s8 with sony sensor, i can say camera of lg g6 is better galaxy s8, too many things for me to get g6 over s8.

Do you use the pixel camera app or stock?
What is with the sharpening on stock camera pictures?
Which advantages does the LG G6 have at the camera?
I am only interested
Read - "I sold my G6 because its not a Samsung". Sad!!

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I took some pics. Hope you guys like it

Pictures are nice. I'm coming from a p20pro, so i'll see in the short term. With the P20pro it was hit or miss situation for pictures on the go (quick snap). As for prepared ones not too many issues. Where issues came in for me, that i hope i won't have with the N9 will be moving objects (cars, kids, animals). I'll see then.
Here you go.

In my opinion Note9 exposure is better and overall results as well. Not to different than my S9+
EVERYTHING ON AUTO MODE, NO POST PROCESSING
My complains are indoor shots in regards to color and sharpness. Note 9 seems to produce a more saturated color or more yellowish than my note 8 and is not as sharp I would say 75% of the shots I've made compared to my note 8. Note 8 although has more noise in low light, color is very accurate and most cases pictures turn out sharper without having to retake. Fyi my couch is Grey and not brown as depicted by the note 9

f1.5 wont be as sharp as f1.7 and it will mean the camera can use a lower iso to eliminate more noise , so a slightly softer image with less noise compared to the note 8 could be expected on hardware alone

This is just a firmware thing, like a choice that samsung made, except of course the bag. Bag looks bad
Intellligent
new intelliigent and smart camera does a great job low light works very well
I don't really tweak anything when taking photos pre or post. This phone takes great pictures on both the front and facing camera with no input from me.
Anyone having issues with light glare? Never had this issue with any phone before. Took some family photos at the beach around sunset and noticed all of them had really bad glare from the sun. Then took some more photos tonight during dinner and the street lights caused horrendous glare in the photos! WTF! And yes, the lens clean and spec free.
I've not used the camera and 'a.i.' enough to dislike it like some of the reviewers, but my nerd self is impressed when it instantly knows i'm taking a shot of my dog. I've not been bothered by any of the post-processing yet. Some great detail shots up above.
I too am disappointed with the quality of indoor/low light shots the Note 9 takes. The shots taken by my Note 8, both stock and with the ported Pixel Google cam, appear sharper and more colorful. I am content with all other areas of the phone: battery life, S-pen features, stereo Dolby Atmos speakers, processor speed. It would be the perfect phone if those cameras can be upgraded for indoor scenes ( outdoor shots are awesome).

in good lighting condition, the camera does exceptionally well. but in the needs of HDR and low lighting,the camera is trash.
How about some long exposure shots in pro mode?
ISO50 at 10 seconds is amazing.
Obviously tripod required.
BUT! With the remote ability of the S-pen, it's indeed possible to capture shots with zero motion blur just like a decent camera with remote trigger...
