Display Color Calibration

I have now an X Compact black and the lucid plastic used for it is the same ofthe two lateral sides of XZ Premium. Objectively, is a good material, has its benefits for cellular waves but it is clearly that feels not premium as metal when hold it. However the build quality is superb.

Again, I like so much the design of XZ Premium, bezels are useful when holding the device landscape and to have inside the stereo speakers.

What disappoint me is the calibration of the display. As showed into PhoneArena.com review, the color chart is worse compared to XZ and X Compact ones, especially the white point. XZ and X Compact match so much the DCI-P3 standard while XZ Premium matches it less. I hoping a better calibration for the premium standard od the display and device. And the display is more and more important compared to materials used.

@JensG,

Considering you started this thread, I have another question for you about display calibration.

The Professional Mode is intended for all users that wants a great color accuracy to the sRGB color gamut as you said. So, can you gently explain me why the Professional Mode is less accurate than the Normal mode?

As stated and measured from GSMArena review:

"

The Sony Xperia XZ Premium does not only improve the 4K display in terms of contrast and HDR video support, but it also comes with an sRGB color mode. The feature caters to professionals who would need accurate color reproduction and it's not turned on by default. The sRGB mode scored an average DeltaE of 4.9 in our color reproduction test, which is decent but not ideal. Even though the screen indeed complied to the sRGB color space (unlike the regular mode), there is a noticeable bluish tint in the white and gray hues.

The Normal display mode exceeds the sRGB color space and even though it produced more juicy colors, it still provided an average DeltaE of 4.6, which is better than the sRGB mode. The whites and grays still have a noticeable bluish tint though."

This sounds like a joke!!!

Can you provide me an explanation and answer about, please?

I hope in your professionality to give me and other users an answer.

Thanks
