I noticed a white hue on the top of the screen and ONLY on the homescreen. I thought it was a Fairphone 5 issue, but now i noticed it on my Nothing Phone 2a (photo)as well. What is it? - eviltoast

After i got my Fairphone back from the repaircenter (they thought there was something wrong with it), they told me it was an intended design. However, i see other people mention they don’t have it.

    I see it. At least we know it’s a software issue at least.

    Let’s try to narrow down the issue. Did you try a different launcher?

    Edit: Nevermind. Reading your other comments, it looks like it is the launcher.

      Well, that’s nevertheless somewhat odd. Fairphone and Nothing have different stock launchers. I think they just modified the standard launcher and thus used a “feature” that was included in the first place? All things point to an actual intended design choice which can’t be changed.

        I think the reason why some people see it and others don’t is because screens have variances and are not calibrated properly. This happens even in the same batch of a phone release.

        I saw the gradient but I barely saw it on my Pixel 5a. I could’ve easily missed.
