We reported a couple of days back that the first major problem which arose with the S8 smartphones which were shipped in South Korea. It was reported that the S8 received a red tinted screen and now Samsung has confirmed this issue. Samsung is now looking to tackle the problem with a software update.

Korea Herald which is a Korean news website stated that “Because there are some complaints about the red-tinted screens, we decided to upgrade the software next week for all Galaxy S8 clients.” Samsung also reportedly has sent the announcement to its service centers.

This problem was reported in Korean smartphones only because S8 did not launch around the world until 20^th April 2017.

We will have to wait in order to see if the problem also exists with the international S8 models.

Earlier this week many users belonging to the South Korea had started posting images of the reddish tint S8 screens on both of the local and international social media platforms. Even before the users in countries started to receive their smartphones “Galaxy S8 Red Screen” became the most searched query on the largest South Korean search engine.

Samsung confirmed that the red tinted screen issue was due to the software color calibration which can be changed by the customers themselves. But few customers were not able to do it. Samsung S8 so far is a huge success and is already breaking preorder records in Korea.
