Galaxy S8 has red tint???

[Anything_Whatever]

Well lemon set or not the current Samsung service stance is disappointing... ask me to wait

2 weeks wait time.... anything can happen de....

Means you cannot apply screen protector
Means if you accidentally crack your screen... there goes your exchange rights
Means if you suffered dent or scuffed, they won't do 1to1 exchange, but only repair

You got concierge ... should insist on 1to1 exchange now

Appreciate your helpful suggestion - yes I have played w the RGB option under display settings over and over again.. it becomes less obvious if i push red and green all the way down but keep blue. But still the contrast is there, like if i am surfing hwz the post from the bottom of the screen turn from yellowish tint when reach the top half have reddish tint.

Probably the oled diodes for my screen unevenly deposited. But I would have thought their blah blah blah 7 or 8 point check should pick up and reject. Seems all wayang only. What to do.. wait and see how lor. I not going to say I wont buy Samsung anymore but definitely a very disappointed long term customer.

Half yellow half red... their QC is sleeping. After their Note7 incident, i don't even trust their first batch of smartphone.

Appreciate your view - I did ask nicely for replacement but they say cannot must wait for the softwate update. I not so keen on kicking up a scene so wait and see lor. I did get Concierge more for the reduced screen repair costs but its 30 days 1 to 1 right? Lets see how "head office" acts in the next couple of weeks then I will go back lor.

Unless you got phone number of Samsung Mobile Singapore boss to share..

Below is the photo of my screen. Went back to Samsung PS Service Centre today and the Samsung staff also agree the contrast. Brought it behind the service area (to check w colleagues/boss?) and came back and told me to wait for softwarw update in 2 weeks or so, that will "definitely fix" the issue.

I told them I dont think so cos its an uneven tint issue, they said if the update cannot fix then go back again.

Btw for those birds who are posting in this thread with bird talk claiming limpeh is kpkb, I have owned Galaxy S, S2, Note 2, Note 3, Note Edge and S7E over the years and never had such a poor screen before. Suspect as the online articles say, the new wide aspect amoled causes the amoled issues to be more obvious, and Samsung QC cmi this round.

Other than the screen I am enjoying the phone but this is quite a big flaw..

Good luck. My S6 had the same issue and Samsung claimed they couldn't see it. Even if they could, they will just factory reset for you etc. In the end I sold the S6 twice and even on the third set, uneven screen tint. You just have to accept it as the normal way of life on AMOLED screens. After a while I learnt to live with it.

My S7 edge also had abit of uneven screen tint.

My previous 6 sets of Samsung Phone never had such a problem, so this is very strange to me. Seems not too many complaints locally about this issue so maybe I really kenna a lemon set this round.

Easy option u CAn don't buy for now until all the issue is even out or opt for others brands

Since now Sammy SG insist on wait for new patch to fix

I'm at my wits end. Hahas

I'll pray for my set not to have the same issue as you.

 

[kenchi]

U can consider sell off if samsung don't entertain u or even the patch it's not helping at all and look else wheee lor

This is horrible suggestion. Don't ever do this. U r only passing ur problem to others. Complain to CASE if Samsung isn't doing enough to solve your problem.

Imo you won't notice it until people say it. At first I also didn't notice on my s6 until people say then I see. This time round I think everyone looking at their phone intently to see the red tint that they discover the more troubling amoled imperfection: uneven screen tint. In fact, if you load a grey background on low brightness in a dark room, the flaw will become even more obvious.

my beloved nexus 6 has uneven red tints too lol...i had S6 and sold it because of a much obvious red tint at the bottom

Is this display in adaptive mode or normal mode?

 

[trenzterra]

Anyway, this is an article I wrote on my old website about this issue: http://139.59.104.149/galaxy-s6-the-ugly-truth-about-its-screen/

Restored it from DigitalOcean just for yall to see... this was my experience with the S6.

Adaptive mode. But tried all the other modes (cinema/photo/basic) etc and still the unevenness was very obvious.

I think Samsung QC is too poor, its one thing if it was slightly uneven but if its this uneven until two halves are different tone, they should not have approved this panel.

Thanks for sharing.. its one thing if the whole panel is one tone but if its blotchy I dont think there is a real software unless there can be an easy to use app that can selectively adjust colour balance of individual sections of the screen at a root level..

 

[PPkiller]

Mine the right side and top is very obvious.. Haizzz

 

[Hello_Kitty]

Mine the right side and top is very obvious.. Haizzz

[Radforce]

mine is S8+ a bit reddish on top, but i have used the suggested color balance to adjust the value and it less visible now.

my current value is set to -4

just press *#15987# and adjust to your preference
