Nexus 6p sRGB Mode Comparison


I recently received my Nexus 6p after preordering it and have been putting it through it's paces.  I did notice right out the box that the screen was quite saturated compared to my iPhone 6.  This seems to be due to the AMOLED display, and oversaturation is just a byproduct of AMOLED displays.  But there is a hidden option within the Developer Tools which allows you to set the phone to sRGB mode.  I decided to give this a try and see what the results would look like.  Turning this option on does tend to wash out the colors.  I have included pictures below where you can find a comparison between the sRGB mode being on/off and compared to an iPhone 6.
