Anyone else notice this when the screen dims or you lower the brightness pretty low? It looks fine at full brightness.
I'm on my 2nd phone, swapped my last one due to a camera issue. My first phone didn't have this tint
I've heard OLED-based displays have inconsistent while balance, especially at varying brightnesses. I use Chainfire3D's nightmode to set a custom color. Totally worth it.
Hi,
When at a concert the stage is often very bright, and the Hall very dark.
I tried several setting and ended up using HDR, but it is not that great, on the picture people on stage turns like they have a light spot on them (which is the case of course) and are hard to recognise.
I see sometimes recommendation for Low Light, but it feels like actually there is too much light.
Has anybody found a setting that fits this situation ?
I had ordered OP3 on the day of launch and got it the next day. After using the phone for about 5 days, I noticed that the top part of the phone had a bad pink tint which was clearly noticeable on White and Grey backgrounds at any brightness. I sent the phone back for replacement and got a new one few days back. The phone looked almost perfect and have been using it for around a week now. Yesterday I bumped on another thread in a forum when I saw a peculiar screen uniformity issue in only one particular shade of Grey.
Steps to reproduce the issue
1) Open the below link in Chrome in a dark room.
http://www.nullabletype.co.uk/static/styles/blah2.html
2) Reduce the brightness to just above the minimum brightness (5-10%) with adaptive brightness turned off.
3) Go to Display settings --- Turn on Night mode --- Increase the slider below to the maximum.
4) Scroll to the 3rd image (the one after Black)
5) Mine has uneven brightness. Some part of the screen is darker than others.
6) Increase the brightness to say 25-30%. Everything looks uniform.
7) Scroll to other images (other shades of grey) and no screen uniformity issues at any brightness.
Now, I am not sure if I should send this back again. I don't use such brightness levels even in night and I don't see any screen uniformity issues in any other brightness levels or shades. I also searched in internet and found similar issues being reported in Nexus 6P, S6, S7, etc in Reddit, xda, etc. There are people who have RMA'd their devices 5-6 times without much luck. From what I have understood till now, AMOLED's are not really perfect in displaying Grey at extremely low brightness. Or may be, its due to the current software targeting the NTSC Gamut ? Anandtech recently said that sRGB update (coming in 3.1.4) has made considerable improvements in Greyscale accuracy.
Before I even think of sending the phone for 2nd replacement, I would like to know how's the screen uniformity with others here.
I did the screen test the moment I got the phone everything turned out good, I was really worried after reading the reviews on the net about the screen. But it seems like only handful of people are facing the problem.
Can you please let me know how you tested it ? I too had tested it on Day-1 since this is the second OP3, using "Screen Test" app and everything looked good. Only one particular shade of gray at low brightness creates this problem.
Not exactly 'real life' usage?? Haha
Looks fine on mine. Uniform grey across the whole screen.
Yeah I definitely have the same uneven brightness on the dark grey on the right side, it's even visible on the notification drop down. Like you, I'm wondering if it's something that can be fixed, or something I should bother RMAing, am I just gonna have the same thing again? It's strange, it looks like uneven backlight but there is no backlight.
I'm currently experiencing a strange bug with my razerphone. After playing with the brightness settings, and switching off the adaptive brightness, it seems to have developed a bug where the screen is much brighter than usual. Viewing the screen at a brightness more than about 60% is almost painful to stare at.
I'm currently viewing the screen at 0% brightness, lol, and it's quite a normal brightness for me.
At a higher percentage I'm certain the screen would be viewable outside on the brightest of days.
So could the screen brightness be higher with a software tweak?
Sorry, I was high writing this.. The screen is acting normally today....
Bruhh dont razer when high. You might cut yourself. Cheers
??? best post ever
Don't do drugs kids. Sorry again ?
Hi to all.
I've received my F3 today. I'm so happy.
The only flaw I've seen on it is about its brightness : it seems to be a bit low and we must push it quite almost 100 % to have decent brightness. To those who have received the phone : did you notice that ? I'm not talking about dimming but regular brightness for regular use (not heavy use)
Thanks for your answers
I'm yet to able to order mine .
However, listening to reviewers the brightness curve apparently wasn't very even. Might be able to be fixed in a custom ROM
Yeah maybe.
I can not confirm. In very bright surroundings, like outside when the sun is shining, it gets very bright. I have nothing to complain about.
I don't have any complaints either, the maximum brightness is excellent. Compared it to my brother's OnePlus 6T and the F3 is for sure brighter.
Same as OP.
I got my F3 this morning and the brightness is the same as my old MI 9 SE. It should be not
I think it's a software issue.
Paradoxically display seems to be brighter as few hours ago. What are your settings ?
brightness seems fine to me,but unfortunatly it doesnt get as bright as a oneplus 8 indoor on max brighntess, but in the sun(max peak), the display of the poco is a bit brighter, so i am satisfied with the results.
yep my old s8+ has more brightness than this xiaomie noodles phone so sad i am disappoint with my purchase
Seems like a lot of people here like to have their brightness set to retina burn mode.
I haven't used a OLED display phone yet but I'm pretty sure it'll be brighter than an IPS one at 450 nits max, even then I only have the brightness set to about 75%.
No way to measure or really compare it to other recent OLED screens, but it gets bright enough for a sunny day outside here in the Netherlands. More sun to come hopefully... Also it seems to pump up the contrast a bit when in direct sunlight which is helpfull.
So no complaints here for outdoor readability.
Yea it's brightness is less than my oneplus 7t pro but it's Amoled is way better than my old phone when I watch YouTube video.

I don't think so but I feel the brightness is way less than oneplus 7t pro which also Amoled if not mistaken but the youtube video I watch pco f3 wins hands down.
Hi all,
I have just experienced a brightness problem,
It went very low on its own while not being in auto mode,
It even affected the brightness while the phone was off and charging, which scared me a bit lol,
I was about to seriously consider a factory reset and the brightness came back to its original levels,
The "brightness bar" was still at max during the issue,
And i think it is because i've stayed for too long under the hard sun , playing videos for one hour or two and it happened while i was reading an article on Chrome.
Gud day!
