FP 6 Screen color is Sepia toned

Help Fairphone 6
21

:face_with_monocle::thinking: Donā€™t know what to make of the chamois tint. Looks wrong to me.

Edit: Sorry to say that, but there seems to be something really off with your FP6. This tint will affect color representation too! Iā€™d kindly advise you to check if itā€™s caused by a configuration mishap or a hardware defect.

Thank you very much @OldRoutard and @RMW for sharing your pictures.

It is a bit suprising that the FP6ā€™s image seems to be more Sepia toned in @OldRoutardā€™s take than @RMW .

I wonder if indeed the screen of @hoschi247 is somehow damaged. Please let us know how it feels on the new phone.

and finally perhaps there are/will be ways to tinker with the software and change it?

23

On FP6 thereā€™s

  • Night Light (off in my post above, certainly warmer hues)
  • Colours - Natural | Boosted | Adaptive (Natural above)
  • Colour contrast - Default | Medium | High (Default above)

And doubtless more sophisticated methods.

24

I think this is what i expected it to look, the second picture with the FP6 below, it does not have this tinted tone

25

Im surprised too, the FP6-Screen in the two picture sets of RMW and OldRoutard look so different to me

26

I would like to say- thank you all very much for your support and efforts, i really appreciate that. I just received notification that the new FP6 should arrive by 6 p.m. As soon as it arrives and I have set it up, I will let you know and upload new screenshots

27

What do you mean with ā€œmore sophisticated methodsā€? Apps that can change the screen color?

28

New FP6 arrived, same problem, so it seems that this is on me. If this is the standard screen then i have to look for another phone, i cant stand that it shows no white but only sepia-blurred white. tbh im really surprised, i expected the screen to be better than the one of my FP3+. @OldRoutard could you please tell me what you meant with more sophisticated methods? Is there anything that can change the screen color besides the standard options? This would be my last hope, if there is an App that can change it im going to keep the FP6

edit- i tried a few apps to change the color, they do work in general but no matter how i adjust it, i cant get rid of the sepia, its annoying and i feel stupid

29

FP6 left, FP3+ right, both on max brightness- i opened the editing options

both unedited

Which Gallery do you use to view the pictures? and how are the settings mentioned above by @OldRoutard ?

And did you remove the foil of the screen?

FP3

Interestingly the FP3 pics of @OldRoutard and @hoschi247 have a slight blueish-cold tint (at least in my view). Somethingā€™s really offā€¦

34

I use Google Foto. Nightlight is off, contrast default, colors on adaptive (with natural and especially boosted the tint is worse).

And i know how dumb that sounds, but there is a foil on the screen by default? I can not see that a foil is applied, i tried to nibble at the speaker above the camera and on the edges but it does not seem that there is a foil

35

A screenshot is not relevant.

A screenshot is not what you see with your eyes on your screen, but what the processor send to the screen, a screenshot will look the same from any device for the same image once displayed on the forum.

You must use an external device to take a picture of the actual image displayed by the screen.

Adding to that, to be relevant the compared images should be taken with the same APN on the same shot.

Thatā€™s what @hoschi247 does.

36

Sorry thats exactly what I see on my phone with my eyes, no sepia or anything weird its a b/w picture

37

Maybe thatā€™s what you see (specially if you use Fairphone to post and read here), but a screenshot is not relevant to show others what your screen actually displays.

Same goes for last two images from @RMW , they are exactly the same (and same as your and the original from @hoschi247 ) because they are screenshots, not actual images displayed by the LCD panel of Fairphone 3 and OLED panel from Fairphone 6.

38

I was not sure in the past it was missed to be removed, maybe its not applied anymore.

Is all white outside of pictures still sepia?

39

You can say you dont believe what I see, however its still relevant that my screen does not show sepia tint, what @RMW also confirmed.

40

I donā€™t say that.

I said :

Posting screenshot is no use to show others what your screen actually displays, itā€™s not relevant.

If 1000 persons with 1000 different smartphones download the @hoschi247 image and then take a screenshot and post it on the forum we will get 1000 cloned images.

Thatā€™s what I said.

Edit :

This from @OldRoutard is relevant to compare.

And what I see is warm (ā€œyellowā€) white on top and cold (ā€œblueā€) white on bottom.
