OP3 vs OP6 Display

[manus31]

So I've had the op3 since it's launch in 2016 and it's been a great phone that has slowly deteriorated in recent times in terms of battery life especially and I've become less impressed with it's display recently especially when I compared it to a Nokia 7 plus display which is 402 ppi and LCD,but I found the display noticably crisper on it compared to the op3

My op6 is on its way now and I'm hoping to see a good difference in the display.I see that the display for op6 is also 402 ppi compared to 401 on the op3.

The op3 display is okay but colors kind of look washed out at times and the blacks don't look that black, It's never sharp and crisp,

Has anyone compared the two and found a noticable difference,maybe the display has gotten better since the op5 ??

Supposedly the op6 has a surprisingly good display for only being 1080p.

I'm coming from a Galaxy S8 with a QHD screen and find the OP6 screen to be perfectly crisp and fine, loving it

I also came from a QHD Samsung. The OP6 display is great, despite the lower resolution.

One criticism of it would be the max brightness is hardly enough outdoors. Just a little brighter would help. Samsung was much brighter, but I've never seen a OP3 to compare with. Otherwise, the OP6 display is nice.

I compared them both side-by-side.. Not a lot of difference in terms of sharpness.. Better color reproduction on op6.. Whites are more pronounced,a bit brighter too.

I'm coming from a 3t and I was surprised by how big of a difference there is, somehow op6 screen looks much sharper

Samsung and apple before going QHD (or "retina"): "That's just a meme no one actually needs that!"

Them now: "Everyone else's phone sucks ass we have way more pixels than them lolololololol!"

It's decent 1080p, great depending on what phone you coming from. Not usable on bright sunny days. Been a week and eyes still trying to adjust.

Perfer my note 8 screen. Night and day. Take 30minutes less of sot.

I came from OnePlus 3t and the difference was unbelievable , brightness in daylight is much better, lower brightness at night is more achievable and the biggest difference I found between the 2 when put next to each other is the whites. After 1.5 year the 3T gives a yellowish white while the 6 gives a true white color

Sounds promising,looking forward to comparing to my op3 when my six finally arrives this week.I do notice the yellowy,gray whites on the op3

Got my op6 this morning,don't see any great difference in display,so far not really impressed with the phone at all,pretty much the same as op3 with faster processor

That's great to hear. I've had to pay for a VERY expensive screen replacement on my S8 because there were no tempered glass protectors available. I just cannot bear to use a naked screen for fear of micro scratches.
My OP6 will be delivered tomorrow.
I have a request to make. How does netflix and prime video play on the OP6? does it play in HD ? The 5T had problems playing HD content when it released and none of the reviews of the 6 ive seen talk about that.

there are so many differences between these two phones...

design, camera, features, soc, size, notch, treble, seamless updates, no home button...

How can you say its the same phone with another SoC?

Well...because it is still rectangular !

Yes,all this is true,I was referring more to the display,it's pretty much the same as the op3,the user experience also, I notice zero improvement in speed,although I know there is, battery is pretty much the same for me so far too,saying all that though I'm still happy because I know OnePlus will continue to optimize

 

[manus31]

Have the op6 over a week now and the display is definitely better somewhat than the op3.

Do think that content has a lot to do with it,hd images look much more crisp than ones with standard definition.

For example the OnePlus stock wallpapers don't look that great and are washed out,but if I use wallpapers from apps like backgrounds and Zedge they look amazing

I also came from OP3. The display on OP6 is much much better. OP6 screen is better outdoor compare to the 3.

The OP6 is very fluid.

 

[pokevitek]

I am actually dissapointed with OP 6 display to the point I am thinking of selling the phone. What bothers me the most is the PWM brighteness regulation bellow 25% witch such a low frequency. But I read it is common for all OLEDs so if you were happy with OP 3 you will be with this one.

This.

I also came from OP3. Compared the display side by side, and to be honest, there is barely a difference. The biggest difference is that the OP6 is better in daylight. I would say the display picture quality has not moved much since the 2016.

The biggest difference for me was the battery life. I simply love it.
