Yellow hue on your Nexus 5X screen? No worries, Google will replace your phone

Well damn. And it isn't a color calibration problem too is it? (Never had the problem)

It's kind of a common problem, the Nexus 5's had the same problem. Luckily I got an amazingly white/cool screened one the first time. I tried 3 Nexus 5's, and every one they sent me after the original had yellow screens, so I kept the original. I don't know how they mess up entire batches. But one thing that seems to be consistent is the manufactured date. People who got ones manu'd 10/2015 have a decent color (compared to my cool Nexus 5 screen it still looks warm), but the ones manu'd 9/2015 are very yellow. That's the only common thread I can guess so far. I'll find out tomorrow when my 3rd unit comes. I'd post a link to the coolest 5x I've gotten vs. my Nexus 5, but I can't post links til I have 30 posts here. You can see it on reddit (in the source) though. My name is jeff71a over there. And I probably would have NEVER noticed that the color was warm, but I was literally holding my Nexus 5 when I got my Nexus 5x, so immediately I noticed a difference. Yeah, I could live with a warmer screen, and might, but... I like cool white screens typically. If you go to Ars and other places that reviewed the Nexus 5x, they take photos of the unit and EVERY one of theirs is the very yellow tinted one. I have no clue why they didn't point it out, they even took a photo of it NEXT to a cool-white Nexus 5.

What country is this happening? In the UK, I got my replacements for previous nexii before even sending in the faulty model back! Google barely even asked why it needed replacing and happily replaced multiple times.

US. It depends on whom you get on the phone. I got "Allen." I have no idea what his accent was or what was wrong with him, but he was hard to understand, clearly new and had no idea what to do. I called back 10 minutes later, but they have it so, if possible, you get the SAME rep. I was like, "Oh no," when he picked up. I told him to just replace the unit, I was ready to buy another one, but he asked his manager and they did it as a damaged on delivery instead so my credit card doesn't get double charged (I don't care if it does or not, but whatever). Technically their policy is 15 days, no questions asked, Allen didn't know that though. He didn't even know the screen resolution of the 5x. I'm just wondering if I'll ever get a cool white screen and if I should give up.

The main disadvantage, at least in the US is that it only works on half the carriers, where the Nexus works on all US carriers.
