This is specially for people who are crying’yellow tint, yellow tint’ for this awesome phone since a long time. Guys, that is not a tint. That is a feature to reduce eye strain.
Got my Nexus 6p from flipkart few months back. People read anything from internet and the stupid thing spreads like fire. That is not a tint. That is a feature to reduce eye strain.
I use f.lux on my laptop. What does it do? It reduces blue light from pixels, giving yellower color. It is comfortable for eyes. Search google for f.lux.
I have Benq EW2440L VALED monitor for my desktop. It features 4 modes for’reduced blue lighting’. Multimedia mode reduces blue light by 30% whereas reading mode does it by 80%. It turns the light yellower.
I have Yu Yuphoria as my secondary phone. Cyanogen gives a feature called’LiveDisplay’ in display settings of it. What does it do? It reduces blue light to reduce strain from eyes. It turns the screen yellow.
So, what you see in Nexus 6P is a balanced mode between blue and yellow. They just made it a default. And their aim was definitely to’reduce eye strain’. Samsung, Google and Huawei all know better how to manufacture screens. And they know what they do. They are even releasing a feature like Cyanogen’s LiveDisplay in Android 7.1.
I tried to capture the difference in screen color after applying these features on my monitor and old Yu Yuphoria, but it can’t be captured properly that way. Still, you will know the difference. See the difference between LiveDisplay on and off. See the difference between’Low Blue Light’ on and off.
Hope that it will clear out some sanity in self-proclaimed tech gurus.
