iPhone X Viewing angles iPhone X (hue shift)

[LinearX]

Hi, quick question: what would you say is the max. angle in your iPhone X before you start to notice a color shift in the display?

After testing my unit and several others, I find that anything over 10 degrees off axis already results in a cooler hue of the display. This is quite annoying for one-hand use, and significantly worse than the experiences I had with other OLED smartphones using Samsung panels.

What are your experiences in this regard? Does the shift appears at such dull angles? And, if you have experiences with other OLED phones, do you consider the iPhone X better or worse in this aspect?

Thanks for your replies.

Mine seems to be closer to 45 degrees before I see any shift so it doesn't really bother me. I did have a Samsung Note at one point and IIRC it was the same.

Around 45 degrees with my X too but as I never view the display from that angle it doesn’t affect me.

Mine does not change until the angle is over 30 to 40 degrees which is not an issue to me.

I do not really notice a change in the tone of my X's screen until I turn it to around what I would guess to be 45 degrees. I've noticed it turns a more green shade around that point. The only other experience I had with an OLED screen was with my Apple Watch, but I never noticed a change in the screen's color.

That color shift is just the nature of oled screens. They all do it. Maybe more or less, but they all do it.

I have noticed a trend recently where if I turn my iPhone around 180 degrees, I can't see the screen at all. Apple needs to do something about this.

I have a silver X and mine kinda does the same. When I turn it around 180 degrees i can’t see the screen either. It’s just kind of a cream color with a silver Apple logo.
