Some Samsung Galaxy S8 users are complaining about reddish tint on display

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

    Switch off the display. Is the color deep black? No funny shades of black? Then the display is okay and it's just a case of poor calibration.

        I'll never buy a Samsung phone again,, their quality control completely sucks.

            Tann Hauser, 18 Apr 2017Oh my. Even I wasnt aware that amoled problems were that ... moredo check it out. fear runs through me whenever i get an amoled panel phone. but whenever i get ips panel it looks bland only few phones like lenovo vibe x3 had an awesome ips panel. the world is also moving amoled but the pain is also there. nothing is perfect i have also suffered dead pixels, absolutely bad blacks(or greys) and backlight bleeding with ips panels and once you see this you just can't unsee. my ocd for perfect screen.

                People should know better than to preorder a Samsung. Preorder users are also known as beta users in Samsung land.

                    LoL. Most people who are comments here are Sony fanboys, did they know if their beloved flagship's screen has blueish tint?

                          Just watch Erica Griffin's video about reddish or greenish Galaxy S8's display, she got the display looks similiar (normal white).

                            They focused on the battery too much that they forgot the display

                                This isn't anything new, it's common with AMOLEDs. My droid turbo had it too. I think a few percentage of AMOLED screens Usually end up like this but in S8's case it seems like a larger percentage is affected.
