Razer Phone 2 display yellow tint problem | Razer Insider
Skip to main content
So i been searching for solution about this and there was not a single answer.

Had razer phone 1 and 2.

But my razer phone 2 display have the yellow tint effect even when the colour change to vivid and night mode turn off. Since razer phone doesnt have any display calibration setting, how do i solve this ?

there is nothing vibrant about yellow tint effect.

I mean night light feature is there for a reason, why make it like this, i just wan to see some white but all i get is yellowish screen its just so weird. They might as well just remove night light in the setting since its pretty much 24/7 on. As much as i really want to like the phone, they ruin the display. Even in video or games, its so noticeable that i pretty much just off the phone and let it collect dust.


I'm not sure if you are referring to your specific phone or in general. I am just saying I have seen multiple RP1's in person.. and I noticed a better screen all around the day I got my RP2. The colors pop more with the brightness being increased and when I look at them side by side I see nothing but improvement. I will keep you posted when I get some official insight.

I just want to be clear gentlemen. The RP2 screen is overall fantastic and although it is a warm display, it is vibrant with good contrast and saturation. That said, all we are seeking is an acknowledgement or statment from Razer as to whether or not the waemth is by design.



As a prime example, when I got my Galaxy S4 back in the day, there was a reddish tint over everything. Not everyone noticed it, some people said it was natural for Amoled screens with high contrast and "pop". Yet it was raised time and time again and Samsung issued an update that restored the accuracy of the display's colour profile.



It is my intention to steer this thread in a similar vein so as to at least get an official statement from Razer either way. Closure is the name of the game. Even with the slight yellow undertones the display is still gorgeous. I just firmly believe that it can be better. The white balance is only a little bit off. It really isn't that bad but it is noticeable.


To follow up on this... it is my thought that this IS intentional by Razer. I am 99% sure from my own knowledge and experience in tech. I don't believe there is anything off or wrong about the screens and is in fact by design. I just do not want to quote Razer directly as I am trying to find out if this is public info.

Other than a better screen, did you notice the white on RP2 is slightly more yellow than the white on the RP1?



I hope this yellow tint issue is consistent across all RP2 and not just on specific or some RP2.

Again it is my belief that yes it was by design and across the board. If I can get a public statement I definitely will.
Finally got the time to compare my RP2 with another RP2. It seems my RP2's screen is more yellow with the same settings night mode off, 100% brightness and vivid colour settings.

The slight yellow tint is fine as long as it is consistent but my RP2 is more yellowish.

Any update on your investigations?



P.S. please accept my gratitude for your time and effort in assisting with this matter.


This is called the blue light filter. A feature for Android phones, which reduces the Blue lights emitting from your mobile phone display to protect eye irritation. It's pretty normal.

No my friend. It most certainly is not. There is indeed a blue light filter feature within the software but if you were to read the thread, you would see that it is not what we are discussing and is in fact separate and apart from same.
If I exchange my phone will I be dealing with the same issue or will a newer phone not have the yellow glare? The blue light is easy on my eyes, the yellow tint tends to stress them out (I know it's the opposite for most but I have astigmatism+near+far sighted).

You'll still have the same. The screen is just a warmer tint than the RP1 (which is a cooler screen) so it's normal and there's no calibration tools to change it to a cooler tint.

I wanted to believe that the yellow undertone was calibration issue by design. However, if this was the case then one would expect all RP2 screens to exhibit the same shade and intensity of yellow (save for minor negligible differences due to the variable nature of each individual screen).



Unfortunately, I have had the opportunity to inspect two other RP2 screens and they all have noticeably different degrees of yellow tint. My own phone appeared to be the least affected in that my yellow undertone is not that prominent and is only truly brought to the forefront when compared to another phone screen.



That said, the other two RP2s had screens that were so deeply yellow tinted that it could not be ignored.



The plot thickens.

I got my replacement, same yellow tint issue but this one also comes with a failing internal storage and a manufacturer crack on the screen (only noticeable when light is placed near it).

Hello,

As I read your Razor phone screen have a yellowish tint.

First of all, it's not a software problem. Actually, when the phone screen's made in different factories and batches so there is some slight variance in the display's colour they always have.

To prevent these issue companies regularly gives updates for their phones. So you have to wait for the next update.

Thanks
