One of my thoughts recently is that EMUI 5.0 is a very blue interface, and Huawei continually stated that the blue and white GUI was to symbolise nature and water etc. The easiest way to make an interface look more blue is to calibrate the screens to that effect. Perhaps screens with a blue tint are cheaper to buy than a fully accurate one. But it's consistently on nearly every successive Huawei device since the Mate S/P9 at least (even before EMUI 5.0. Asking Huawei yielded no results, because in the end we don't talk to anyone who would make that kind of decision (if it were intentional).
I'm running my Mate 9 with eye comfort mode continually on, just so it isn't as cool and piercing. Same with the Mate 8.
Why don't you start measuring contrast between RGB(1,1,1) instead of RGB(0,0,0) and to RGB(255,255,255)? Solves the oled issue and actually gives more meaningful results for "lowest decipherable signal".
Digital audio dynamics is not considered to be infinite, despite 0 is a valid value for audio signal. Why should we measure display output differently?
You could provide dynamic range in addition of the normal contrast ratio.
There is really no oled issue, even if the oled itself doesn't emit light when black, it is not a perfect black body by any means. It will still reflect some ambient light, therefore the contrast ratio will not be infinity, just some very high number relative to tfts.
This could be an issue for charts if linear scale is used, logarithmic would do the job, but perceiving the results adequately might end up being a challenge for your-typical-AT-enthusiast.
What's with the blue tint on most Chinese phones? Do Chinese consumers prefer a blue-white tint?
Even Xiaomi stuff has this issue. When I was running MIUI on a Mi Max, I set the color temp to Warm. Now on LineageOS, I manually set the RGB display values to get a much warmer color temp.
They do it to maximize brightness to battery life ratio. Chinese consumers prefer bright displays and better battery life. Most people, Chinese and others, don't care about accuracy, be that image, audio or whatever. For audio there is also the paradox that many people would actually prefer cheap, high distortion reproduction with scooped mids and boosted lows to the clean and accurate sound of a reference speaker.
I will never understand the need for wide viewing angles on a smartphone. Its my private sphere and I don't want the guy sitting next to me or standing in front of me to be able to see what I'm doing on my phone...A tablet is one thing, but not my smartphone. That's why I'll never buy a phone with a super amoled screen.

Why are they so stubborn, They could have set the color temp right from the beginning instead of having everyone bashing the blue tint.zepi - Friday, April 14, 2017 - link

Good viewing angles on phones are not a design target, they are accidental benefits of using panels that are not TN garbage.omejames - Monday, October 30, 2017 - link
