Put this way without the screen issues.
Htc Amaze 4g super Lcd Qhd. Higher resolution washed out colors.
SG2 Super amoled + lower resolution and vibrant brilliant colors.
The amaze has more hardware problems which can't be fix.
SG2 has more software problems that can be fixed.
I personally don't have the screen issue but a developer named supercurio said he would help fix the screen on this device when he gets one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345099

Very! I owned the HTC Sensation for 2 weeks before I upgraded to the Galaxy S2. The Sensation is very similar to the Amaze. The have the same screen.

Do you think the screen issue is serious?
I just got it today, I read the posts about the screen issue before I was buying it,
and now I am always focusing on the screen and concerning the issue,
I admit that I might not find out the issue if I didn't read the posts, but the fact is I did read those,
a bit sad...
I am wondering is this phone able to check and install update by wifi or carrier network, as same as the HTC phones?
Thanks.
Before I ordered it online, I looked at the screen resolution and was a bit worried considering the screen is 4.5". When I actually got the phone and start playing around, changing live wall papers, watching movies, etc... I'm in LOVE with the screen lol the colours are just beautiful. I have a background setup with a sun rise and rainbow, and I can't describe how amazing it looks lol
my oponion Super Amoled+ is the best in the market
I own an S2x, runs amazing. The screen is really high quality. If you compare it to let's say an iPhone, you will immediately notice the nicer colors on the Samsung. Great phone, great screen. Can't go wrong....
Oh and gorilla glass!

I had to up the contrast quite a bit for what I am talking about to show up in a photo, but you can see it here: http://i.imgur.com/TLYe4.jpg
When my screen is totally black, there are 2 "blotches" of the screen that are darker than the rest. They are not image defects, as it happens on any totally black screen.
I like this phone, but all these screen issues are annoying!

EDIT: Because you look like you know what you're talking about, I might as well ask you another question here
If I follow these instructions to flash 4.0.4 yakju on my phone currently running 4.0.2 yakjuux, must I be rooted, or will unlocking the bootloader be enough to upgrade?
I have these too. Even at exact location. But i notice it only at totally dark room.
maybe if you still have your trial period you can return it and get another one? ... ive never noticed these but those issues seem very minor
i know if you flash a kernel with colorcontrol you might be able to tune it to the way you like it.

Ehh, I'm with WIND mobile here and they tend to just exchange your phone with one that someone else has returned. I am probably just gonna deal with it. It's certainly not noticeable in every day use, it's just something I noticed while looking at my screen last night in the dark.
As a workaround, you can change your wallpaper so its not dark dark dark

Google only does the software. Samsung does the hardware.
If anything blame Samsung. There is always a chance of a defect when it comes to production.
But yeah.. it'll have updates from Google and dev support.

we have to suffer for these issues as early adopters for 720p super amoled screens. I think these are not QC issues. These are the known issues for a still developing technology.

If future gen screens are free of these problems I'll definitely still be all for them
that is a common manufacture defect of amoled screens not just our 720p screens. theres people on the razr forums complaining of this too and motorola said its a manufacturing defect that affects lots of amoled screens. i suspect lots of people have this problem just that they dont notice since you cant see them under normal use.
i have these black splotches too but can only see them when i put a black screen in a dark room, never see them when i use normally or watching videos.

you have the best phone anywhere, not just canada. other phones might be better at certain things but overall the nexus is still the best until the htc one s or gs3 comes out. You are going to find problems with any phone out there most are a lot worst than the ones on the nexus.
i dunno about Wind being the best carrier in canada though...lol i was pretty close to switching to them but just didnt want to deal with all the roaming stuff.

I mean best carrier in the sense that everything is unlimited. I rarely ever leave the city so it's good for me.
I am currently in customer service hell. They sent me a full month's bill after 7 days of service, and I can't get a straight answer as to why. Tried calling their service center and was hung up on 3 times in a row.
From my understanding, it's due to pixel pre-charging and/or bad threshold calibration. All of the pixels are kept on just a tiny amount even on black screens to produce smoother a smoother display. It takes a lot longer to turn on an LED from rest than to just bump up the brightness a bit. The LED subpixels are held just above their on/off threshold to give relatively deep blacks with smooth light/dark transitions. In theory this works, because it assumes that each LED is perfectly calibrated and they all have an exact on/off threshold. In reality though, we know that no two LEDs are the same. Some have higher thresholds and some have lower than others. This equates to some deadspots and some bright patches on black screens.
Then again, it could just be a badly manufactured screen or some other issue.
Also, some people say that they never saw anything like pre-charging on other OLED screens like on the GSII, but that's because the GSII has a much lower resolution. The Nexus has a much higher resolution, which means a lot more pixels to push, which means there's a lot more light coming out of black screens. That's what gives some Nexus screens that LCD-Backlight look when in dark rooms. That's a non-issue.

If the saturation bothers you go into developer options and enable "SRGB Color".
Obviously if it is different from another Pixel that is a different story, though.

Yeah, her screen and mine look completely different. Also I have a lot of speaker popping and stuff so I'll probably just return it.
My screen has issues as well. Bottom half looks pink on white screen and top half looks white. It's not horrible but just enough to make me mad. Paying so much for a phone out right. I want a perfect one. Considering doing a replacement but worried about how long I'll have to wait for a new one.
May have to pull the S7 edge back out for a while longer.

You had to do the usual and put a hold on your card for a replacement right? I have a pink hue on the top half on my screen. I'm seriously thinking of exchanging it.
of course if you think your screen is bad, you should definitely exchange it for a different one
I guess I have been lucky, because after buying dozens of phones in my life, I never had a bad "new" one...

I chatted in to get mine exchanged, They made me send in a picture and said I'd be hearing back in 24 hours which is BS. Whenever I've had a problem with a device they have always issued a replacement order pretty much no questions asked except for the standard stuff. I don't know why this time I have to wait 24 hours.

They issued me an RMA immediately without question (for a different issue than this one though). I'm rather surprised they're asking for photo proof from you.
Erica actually mentioned it in her unboxing. Mine is fine but there is something to this.
Deviled options>simulate color space > change the option to anyone of them then go back and disable. Worked for me
Got my XL from verizon today. The phone seems pretty solid so far except for the screen. I can pull the same pictures on my old pixel and the new one and compare side by side. Its not even close to being as good as the old pixel...The colors are all washed out with no depth. None of the color settings seem to change that. Im curious if anyone else is seeing this same thing or has any fixes
I haven't got it yet, but judging from the 3 2 XLs I saw in different Verizon stores the screen does indeed suck. Terrible viewing angles and just underwhelming looking at it straight on. Nothing to do with sRGB calibration BTW. I've had lots of devices on sRGB and there were not as dull/weird/damped as this.
Yeah unfortunately the colors on this thing are pretty bad. The other issue is the depth of the screen...there is none. Everything looks flat, like its painted on the screen. I played with it all night and couldn't get it any better. Im back on my old pixel already, will be sending this back. Oh well, i had high hopes for this phone but its definitely a no go
so i am not a hardware guy and was curious are these issues that software can address or it is what it is by design?
thanks
have you tried enabling the "vivid colors" setting
Sorry man, I was so hyped for this phone as well. Now we get this display issue, unfortunately had to cancel my order yesterday because of it.

This may seem obvious, but on the 1st gen Pixel, there is a Developer Option to use sRGB, on or off. "Off" results in more saturation for colors. Is this setting not present on the Pixel 2 XL?

sRGB is the default on the Pixel 2... Don't know why people are complaining about it... Just wait for custom kernels so we can make color adjustments. This is nothing new.

The developer options on the Pixel 2 XL do not have the option like the original Pixels did to toggle sRGB on or off. It actually shows up when searching the phone, so it's likely in there somewhere behind the scenes, but it's not available to users out of the box in Developer Options or elsewhere in the settings. The only option available is the vivid toggle in the display settings, but it does very little to punch up the colors.

A number of articles and blogs I read said Google is looking to enable to option to toggle the sRGB settings.
We designed the Pixel display to have a more natural and accurate rendition of colors this year but we know some people prefer more vivid colors so we’ve added an option to boost colors by 10% for a more saturated display. We’re always looking at people’s responses to Pixel and we will look at adding more color options through a software update if we see a lot of feedback.

I just got my Pixel 2 XL and unlocked the bootloader.
Have read a few lagit articles explaining the screen tech.
To me my phone screen looks great.
Just got mine. Screen looks good to me.
Usually, I don't really like topics like this.... But now I need your opinions, guys!
Accidentally smashed my op3 and now I need a new toy.
Already watched a massive amount of videos on YouTube about the razer phone. Love the style, the shape.
However, I'm still can't decide.
Razer or OP5T?
I'm waiting for your thoughts, opinions, etc.
Thanks in advance.
i had the razer phone i sent it back less than a week, dont get me wrong love the retro metallic build and speakers. but the software seems unfinished and non optimised. the screen as fluid as it is @ 120hz just cannot compare to the OP5T in vibrancy and the screen on the RP is just shockingly too dim (even the Nokia phones have brighter LCD Screens). the op5t just feels more polished and its software more snappy. I really REALLY REALLYYYYYYY wanted to like the Razer Phone, but OP5T just seems to me a much better overall package having used both. This is totes subjective of course ...
Gave away my s8 plus and got the Razer. Love it exept for the camera. Se what they will to when oreo hits. But If I where you i would go with 5T.

Yepp and still isn't any good in my opinion, sadly.
I've got both infront of me currently, struggling to decide.
Unfortunately the 5T is giving me a bit of trouble recently.
The others are right, the RP screen is absolutely darker than others, roughly 60% of the 5T brightness and colours can seem a little washed out due to AMOLED vs LCD.
Battery life isn't anything to shout about either really and don't get me started on the camera! jeez.
Lastly, and this might come as a shock, the 5T puts out more decibels than the razer phone, the last update really undermined the volume and now my 5T has about 15% more volume, not clearer of course, but yeh.
All that being said, the Razer phone is built well, and the 120hz screen is nice! I'm trying to justify the brightness by the fact that Razer are wanting to reduce burn in and prolong the life expectancy of the phone, I guess it's not too bad really.
I'm gonna keep using the razer and sell the one I like the least after a week. Don't get me started on the camera or should I say "potato".
The one thing I don't like about the display is that it is "sunken". Nowadays most displays the glass and the picture are together, like you're literally touching the pictures. But on the Razer, you can tell that the picture is below the glass, which is weird as I haven't seen that in phones in the past 3 to 4 years at least. Not sure if I explained that correctly, but that's a con to me. I think mkhbd mentioned this in the preview video
I'm thinking about buy the phone to replace my LG V10 battery life pretty much bad on it and LG pressing trying me to buy a battery for it but they not selling it them from the website

LCD screens don't burn in. That's pretty much an AMOLED trait. The low brightness is a consequence of the 120hz technology.
after all the issues i've had with the Razer from the moment it went live to buy and now loosing a SE for a standard edition (currently using a wileyfox while the RMA process is happening) I considering selling mine on to get a different phone too.
The OP5T was on my radar as a replacement but if i'm honest I don't trust the company anymore, after the OP5 (which I had before the Razer) and it's hardware issues and OP halting the manufacturing of it so quickly so no one could buy anymore screamed of a new one with the hardware issues fixed and on top of that then there's the personal info they were taking it was the final straw and I sold the OP, of course I cuold have flashed a custom ROM onto it but i'm kinda done with that whole thing these days myself.
if you're set on the two devices it's a hard call. if you don't mind the OP personal info thing and never got burnt from them before (grant that little bit there is completely personal to me) then go for the OP5T, it'll have fantastic custom ROM support too if that's something you want.
my personal other option was the Essential Phone which tbh I think i'll get instead.

To be honest the phone looks amazing, however there is no community (especially here at xda) at all.

You're right the development portion of the device is lacking on here but the company do bi weekly ask me anything on the subreddit so they're very vocal. If I'm honest the lack of support imo is because of the A/B partition (something the razer has) and the lack of sales due to it costing so much on release. Now it's went down and essential are implementing project treble it might get better via custom ROMs
But again that's not very important to me anymore.

LCD screens don't burn in. That's pretty much an AMOLED trait. The low brightness is a consequence of the 120hz technology.

Actually, LCD can burn in. It's just far more rare.

Actually, I never claimed it COULDN'T. I said it's more of an AMOLED issue. I have yet to see an LCD burn in.

Sorry, I misunderstood what you said. I figured "don't" meant they never do.

I could have stated it better. Sorry if I came off as snarky.

No problem. I think we can all agree that the Razer's screen is inferior to the 5T's screen in every way except the refresh rate.

I couldn't agree more. Yet every time I go into a store and play with one of the new iPads, I nearly pull the trigger for that 120hz display. I think if it was at least brighter, there would be no hesitation.
No way I can view 400 nits outside in a Texas summer, though.
