AnonD-434295, 24 Apr 2017Sorry but for me that's not acceptable. They Charged $1000 ... moreBad analogy, had ya ordered a red Ferrari and a pink one is delivered is closer to it; that phone is all about the bezeless display delivering life-like images and it's Infinitely wrong atm.
Hopefully their software-fix will work otherwise I ain't buying that thing, no sir, not even at half the price.

    That's so Samsung

      lol, its first month and news have started to come. Wait and see what S8 has hidden up its sleeve to surprise its customers. Good luck with your $1,000+ red tinted device with a not so comfortable aspect ratio and not at all comfortable fingerprint scanner placement and it hints, there is more to come.

            Why the h*ll in the world is it okay buying a so-called premium phone with a premium price that has issues out of the box? This kind of phone must be in a very good condition right when you remove it out from the box. Now this Consumer Reports saying that it's okay? H*ll no! It is never okay. And you Samsung rats asking on no bashing on your brand? What if this happened to Apple, LG, Sony, Huawei, etc? So you Samsung rats would not bash other brands? I think not, knowing that you rats are fire starters.


            Meanwhile in a parallel world: Samsung rats claiming that Samsung is innovative than Sony, Apple, LG, etc. then YAH, this is innovation.

                      AnonD-146024, 24 Apr 2017If the red tint is on the whole screen it might be tuned wi... morei would say the bottom-ish half of the third phone looking more white than the top is an optical illusion. specifically from the white fluro globes being reflected on the screen. which would also explain why the area near the top right of the first phone looks more white. and the bottom of the second phone looks more blue.

                                    Then there is the LG G6:
                                    - Korea without Wireless charging
                                    - US without the Quad DAC
                                    - Rest of the world.... Nothing for you. Screw themselves. Oh! And only 32 GB ROM.

                                      All you mor*ns complaining about samsing need to get a grip.... its part and parcel of mass production the WORLD over...no company including apple has a product that leaves the warehouse with a 100%sucess rate FACT..the displays have been calibrated automatically to much.. samsung have also said tjat customers can return their device for a new one and there is a software update due that should fix it aswell....calm down and stop trolling
