Now I understand why Sony waits until June to release the flagship.
More time to test.

      I don't remember Pixel having so much attention when they first have there issue with their camera, Bluetooth and other.

      But now people are reacting like everything would be perfect.

      I know fanboy of any company. but just saying. ;D

        mojojojo, 22 Apr 2017relax, its a software issue that easily fixed.Let's hope that's true. A colorimeter will easily be able to validate the fix.
        Personally I'm skeptical of a calibration made without physical access to the screen. It's fine to return "close-enough" color to budget screens -- not really what people should expect of something this price.

                        unknown, 22 Apr 2017so i shall.. just drop the phone in a bin and buy an iphone... moreYou have the option of returning it, replace it, swap it considering it hasnt been a month and warranty is still intact. And dont forget your shelling out $900 bucks just to get your temporary fix even though its a hardware issue.

                            Peole are reporting redtinted screens with either corners, centers, or edges being more affected.

                            Unevened red tint is not a software calibration problem that can be fixed with update, but a hardware one, fault in assembly.

                              and in no way it's acceptable for a "premium" product that you are supposed to shell out insane 900 EUR.

                                Reminds me of the OnePlus 3. When it came out, it had widely-publicized display calibration problems. OnePlus fixed it with a software update & that phone went on to be a critical and commercial hit.
