User comments

Here are some links to web pages where mobile camera users complain about the color shading issue. Most people describe the effect as a pink/blue/green spot. These are only a small selection of typical examples, as the complaint is very widespread. Listing all the phones and complaints would require several pages. Note that all these phones use per-unit calibration (with or without a hybrid filter).

Sony Ericsson Xperia X2

 

From i2mob.com: « However we noticed that the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 is having the pink spot issue that we know from the HTC HD2 camera. It might be mistaken for wrong white balance in busier scenes but when you point the camera towards a white wall it becomes pretty evident. You can also clearly see it our res-chart shot below”
