We're discussing it here, also we have to wait for Nexus 5 Color Control by Francisco Franco

There are a lot of people with the same problem. My new RMA is yellowish when I compare it to my old N5 which I will ship back! Pretty annoying but not noticeable when I just use the phone.

Left - N5 16 GB white, ordered more than a month ago
Right - N5 16 GB black arrived few days ago.

Photo is taken with N7, and unfortunately the difference is not that visible as IRL, but I hope that it is still visible.

(Both phones were set to 100% brightness)

Strange part is that yellow tint is not visible when I tilt my phone away from my eyes and when watching it from CCA 45 degrees angle.

When i first received my nexus 5 (2 weeks ago) it didn't look all that yellow maybe a tiny bit. i compared it to my nexus 7(2012) and found it a bit too yellow for my liking.
After 2 weeks of usage the yellow looks completely gone to me. i compared again and saw that the nexus 7 was a bit reddish looking.
I saw on some forums that because the glue beneath the screen wasn't dried yet that caused it to be yellow. But now it looks great!

I consider it a hardware defect but its also a panel lottery, how yellow your device is compared to the "warm" and "normal" colors on the N5 is anyone elses guess. Mine was pretty yellow but the phantom kernel based on franco's fixed it right up for me though its a little bit blue now but it is significantly better than a yellow tinted screen.

The yellow tint will go away after a couple weeks. Don't worry about it. It will disappear

hi is this from your experience from owning the device ?...so if it goes away would it be due to the glue or something?

same question here, bought it yesterday, and yellow as hell compared to my N7... what do you base on when saying it will disappear?

thanks

Yeah mine was yellow compared to the my mom's and brother's moto x. But my whites are better then their whites.

This is why reviews usually suck. They test for several hours and review. No not good enough.

MKBHD did his right (sort of). He did a first impression and didn't like it 100%. Turns out, after a while he realizes it is like a shoe, gotta break her in till it's comfortable.

Patience is key.

I'm saying break in your nexus 5. It will adjust and get better over time.

still sorry, (english is not my mother tongue), what do you mean by break in? open it?

Oooh OK lol. Breaking in means use something long enough and it'll actually improve.

You learned something new today.

so the question remains, has your yellow tint got better/dissapeared over time?

 

[Dragn4rce]

Ya. It was yellow at first compared to the moto X. Now mine has better whites.
