Samsung issues red tint fix

by on28 April 2017


Firmware version G950NKSU1AQDG and G955NKSU1AQDG.


Samsung has rolled out a firmware update for the Galaxy S8 and S8+ which fixes the "red tint"  present on its handsets' screens .

The S8 gets the firmware update G950NKSU1AQDG  while the S8+ gets G955NKSU1AQDG. Samsung has been quick to fix the problem. It promised last week that the update would be issued "before the end of this month", and it looks like Samsung kept its word.

The much-expected update is now in the process of rolling out to Galaxy S8 and S8+ units sold in the company's home market of South Korea. 

It has not been spotted in other markets, but we assume it's going to spread across the world in the following days. What it brings is an additional setting in Adaptive Display screen mode, letting you adjust the full screen colour balance.

In the Screen mode menu, a new Screen edge colour balance option can now be found, and you can use this to adjust the colours at the edges in order to change the appearance of white tones. Samsung has promised to replace affected devices if their owners aren't satisfied with their colours after applying this update.
