18 April 2017
Correcting the phone's color display settings allegedly doesn't improve the situation.

Most smartphone of any brand are either yellowish or bluish right out of the box. I guess Samsung customers are quite fussy when it comes to quality control. The media really mess up consumers perspective of quality. Want everything 100% perfect out of the box. I wont blame you. Some of us really are just like that.

              NewNicknameAgain, 20 Apr 2017Issues like what? Self-cracking glass? I barely heard anyt... moreNope. Never.
              And apparently now even when like most brands some things are just some batches it's ok when it's sony and it doesn't count.

                Anonymous, 19 Apr 2017Sorry. Back here in reality they have issues just like ever... moreIssues like what?
                Self-cracking glass? I barely heard anything about it, and even with it, the phone is still very sturdy. I guess every glass phone really breaks with abuse

                Camera lens softness? Solved with the Xperia X series, only existed with the Z5 series

                Other than that, no major problem have I encountered with Sony

                    Common problem, I had to go through three note 4's and still not perfect. This is known amoled production problem when the oled emitter material is deposited onto the substrate unevenly.

                    At this price point each unit should be calibrated in six points and a compensation matrix should be hard-coded, similar to high end graphics design monitors like my NEC PA241w. This is unacceptable but the sad reality is that most don't care and are not discerning enough to complain so the problem exists for many years.

                    Nothing new, which is why when I buy Samsung amoled, I'm prepared to exchange many times or settle for less than ideal.

                        this incident didn't only happen to me , it is an s7 display fault ,
                        and a international incident

                          DennisPennis, 19 Apr 2017Oh did you see the giant bezels of Sony? Cammon it's 2017...Meh. One thing that I never defend on an android device, is bezel.

                                In the end it is an isolated case. All the online review is out. Youtuber review is out too. No one complaining about red screen. Their review unit is more than fine. Its looking good. Kudos Samsung.

                                    Anonanoymoususes, 19 Apr 2017so sam fan getting boring with apple , now they bring up so... moreNo. Can you read? They never showed themselves to be any k8nd of fanboy first off.
                                    Second they were clearly replying to where someone said they were bashing on Sony when they clearly were not.

                                    Is it that hard to follow along just a few short and so simple sentences?????

                                      Sony fans on Sony pages sometimes seem worse than even apple fans.
                                      Even you even mention the existence of other devices....even if it's just purely in conversing and nothing bad at all you get flamed by them to the end. Especially if it's samsung.
                                      And just like on Apple pages in the Sony ones it's Sony is perfect and no faults and amazing and the best everything and everything else is garbage.

                                      That's the most accurate it can get. Sorry you choose to see your own reality instead of a real one.

                                        My reply was direct and made perfect sense
