Pink hue tilting the screen - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

I noticed that tilting the screen if my S10+ make the white turn a little bit into pink... anyone else? It's really really barely noticeable. I have leaved on original screen protector and since to me for now is fitted perfectly on the screen, I don't want to take it off only to check that it's the cause of this kind of "rainbow effect ". Someone else could check it?
Sorry for my english...

Yeah, noticed the same. My S9+ don't have it. Also S9+ screen is is more white compared to S10
Have peeled screenprotector of but stays the same. Screens looks better though without protector.

My S9+ also have more "white" screen compared to this S10+, however screen shifted a little bit to blue/green if tilted...

I've noticed it as well on my S10e without the screen protector. Not that noticeable and not as bad as the Pixel 3 but once you see it, you can't un-see it

Could be wrong but OLED/AMOLED have this trait - not issue but rather if screen is tilted it will have a red/pink hue - same when I had a Mate 20 Pro and while the same its less noticeable on S10+ ( better panel maybe )
Blacks are spot on but whites aren't perfect.

So i think i will leave the screen protector on until i'll have to replace it...

I have this issue too, TMobile US. But only towards the bottom portion of the screen, the top part is fine. Which leads me to believe it's a defect in my particular case. It's very distracting. Also fingerprint sensor works whenever it feels like.
Have to return it now.

Mine is different, i notice this pink/purple hue only tilting the screen more than 30 deg in any direction, if i look at it straight, whites are perfect.

Mine is the opposite , I keep blue light filter on all the time and the Samsung screen gaurd
When tilt i get a greener tinge
Just looks normal, tilt any screen or look at it from oblique angle things look differently

Question (problem) about display

Hi, I bought my 4X last couple of days.
Im very happy, but now I have one question about display.
I was surfing on the internet and I noticed that on top of the display, there is slightly brown or yellowish tint
Its visible on white or light grey background.
I noticed it isnt on LCD panel becasue when I look closer or in another angle the effect like disappeared.
It looks like sea-bow effect or glass reflection on gorilla glass or something similar but only with yellowish tint.
I red in reviews that the display is in some distance from glass, maybe there is slightly color distortion between glass and display?
My build is 1.1
Did you notice something similar on your 4X? Is it normal? Maybe Im too sensitive?
Thanks in advance.
So, I try to look at the display with white background in the dark room and I can definitely notice sea-bow or reflection on the glass. Its changing the position when I change the angles during the view on display. Anyone notice this? Would be very appreciated.
Yes, i seen to. But it's a very light effect. Is not a problem for me. If you don't advertise this to me I would not seen it.
Anyone other noticed this issue? Thanks.

To be honest, no. I tried to do in your way, I'm not blind, but I simply don't see nothing abnormal in mine Optimus 4X HD.
I have this problem too, and my Optimus 4x is 3 months old. Maybe it is cause by the overheat problem? Since the phone heat up mostly at the top part when playing games or browsing.
It could be that when the phone heats up, the glue melts and the screen gets "dirty" or its because of screen bleeding or because of pixels getting damaged because of the heat.
I also do notice it. Try to look at the phone at a very steep angle, I see that my screen has a blue tint on the bottom and a weird other tint on the upper side. I bought my phone on march 2013 Only noticable on white backgrounds.

light bleed

Are you guys experiencing light bleed from the edges of your Note 8 screen. I just got my Tmobile Note 8 yesterday.
Wow...
I was hoping to god this wasn't gonna happen again.. I hated this so much with the Note 7 -_-
It isn't bad at all when the brightness is lowered, but looks absolutely disgusting when using the phone for GPS at night.
Last thing I want is for a $1500 phone to look cheap.
Apparently this is "natural" because of the glass and how it reflects light, BUT... all they had to do was wrap the black around it to block that reflective exit alone the edges.. But they didnt.
I may just take my note 8 back over this. I couldn't stand this on my note 7
OP, you should max the brightness, show a white image, and put a credit card on top of the screen and then take a picture.
Wow! I probably would have never noticed, but I do now. Thanks! I have a VZW but it doesn't seem near as bad as yours. Luckily my case covers it so I won't OCD over it, like the bubble I have in the bottom of my screen protector, going back to geek squad tomorrow. On my s7 edge I made them change it out 3 times. :angel:

You probably aren't noticing it because it takes a relatively bright image closer to the edge for it to appear.
View a white image with maxed brightness while covering the majority of the screen, and you will literally see a white ring around the edge of the phone.
Super damn annoying -_-

After reading this post, I immediately took it out of the case, cranked the brightness up, turned the lights off, opened a web page, seen it! Aghhhh! On mine, it seems worst on the right side. Put it back in the case, took a shot, and now trying to forget it was ever there or my eyes will look for it every time, because it IS ANNOYING now that I KNOW it's there!

If it makes you feel better, its only noticeable when the brightness is at a decent level. Plus using a case will get rid of it entirely.
I'll probably whip out the microscope and apply a fine line of black paint along the edge of the glass lol.
I wonder when they're going to get rid of light bleed. I've literally had it on every device with a screen that I've ever owned.
I thought that OLED devices weren't backlit. Blah blah blah individual pixels lit. Isn't that supposed to be a selling point of OLED screens? Where does the light bleed come from?

It happens because the glass is still thick enough to allow light to travel along the inside and exit throughout the edges.
This is such an easy fix too, which is why I don't understand why this hasn't been fixed. All they have to do is literally wrap the glass around the edges with the same material they're using the the top and sides anyway..

Ahh, ok. Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. It's different than the standard LCD light bleed then.
Hopefully I won't notice it much while it's in a case.
Zero light bleed on mine.

A blast from the past. Identical thread in the Note 7 and nearly all other forums concerning the 'edge screen design'.
It is not technically "Light bleed" That term is reserved for a phenomena (problem-fault) often common with IPS panels.
What you are seeing is......how can one write.......light escaping NOT into the screen as light bleed but light escaping from the screen.....There is a gap between the body and where the display ends, this tiny tiny tiny space, in certain situations, can indeed shine light OUT but not into the screen and there is a difference but both can be annoying IF we become OCD about it. I guess this situation is part of the edge experience? As suggested by peers, a case will stop such micro reflections or light escaping.

So this is a known issue with Galaxy phones?
I've never experienced it with the Note 7 or currently with the Galaxy S8 plus. Is this enough to get a replacement?
Wow, this thread is like dejavu, I had to really look for it with max brightness in a dark room to find it on both my note 7's. I didn't think it was a big deal but some did. If I get the note 8 I will look for it.

It sounds like you might have to go through more than one replacement to get one that doesn't do it.
Just for fun, I always follow the release of the new iPhone on Macrumors each year, and there's always a huge light bleed thread. I know (now) that this is something completely different than what happens with these phones.. People over there go through numerous replacements to try and get a perfect screen. Many never get one.
I will have my phone in a case from day one, so I guess that I won't see this.
Mine's good... no light bleed at all.
I am getting no light bleed at all. Turned my screen all the way up on a white screen and no light bleed.

None on my T-Mobile variant. I put a full white image up just to be sure.

I'm not seeing any either even with the brightness turned all the way up and various bright pictures. There's a slight change in brightness but that's to be expected with the curve but nothing like the pictures.

at least one guy on another forum has reported his light bleed and is getting a replacement in exchange.
So maybe some were built with more of a "gap" there than others.
The way my luck with electronic devices works, I'll definitely have it. Glad that it won't be noticeable when it's in a case. I won't even look for it, because then I'll know it's there for sure and it will bug me.

Light bleeding from edge of phone?

Noticed something for the first time today. Looks like there's light bleeding from the left side edge of my screen where it meets the frame. It's not uniform either so it makes me think that there was some sealent that detached somehow. Anyone else have this issue? I'll try and take a pic once I have another camera to use.
Looks like the same is happening to mine. Left side bottom corner. Actually seems to just be the paint under the glass is peeling away or something? Doesn't seem like it's physically open, compromising the water resistance.
Look like this?
Sent mine in like 2 weeks ago. Still waiting for them to ship it back.
They managed to replace the LCD and motherboard for some reason... wth Samsung
another thread...its not light bleed -
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/light-bleed-t3670247
Dang. That's too bright for a dark room.
Huh just noticed that on mine too. Not that bad though but still noticable.
Composed on Galaxy Note8
I've had 2 replacements so far. First one was on the left side from top to bottom. Second phone was all round. Looked the screen had it's own halo!
Interestingly the store manager said that this is not the norm having compared them against the the display phones in store and his own Note 8 which were all flawless!
Whether it's the light reflecting from the screen etc etc, i personally believe this should not be like this, not when there is so much inconsistency between flawless handsets and handsets with the light bleed.
Samsung needs to address this and actually take ownership.
This is one of the first things i checked when i got my Note 8. Mine doesn't have this "bleed"

Display under UV light

Before I installed UV screen protector I noticed this stripe under UV lamp. Is that normal?
I saw that too, when installing the Whitestone Dome, and have not noticed any problems.
I noticed the same thing when installing my whitestone... assuming it's normal, my display is good under normal circumstances as far as I can tell

it's basically the same shape that shown on my screen whenever the screen display dark color contrasts (but not true blacks)...that seems to resemble a burn-in.
Hi everyone, I don't think this is anything to worry about. I found the same blob on my Huawei Mate 20 Pro whilst I was trying to cure my green screen.
I then checked my partners s9 and it also had the same blob so it's definitely not screen burn.
I was told it's the loca glue used in the manufacturing process. Same thing on the Pixel 3 XL's and Note 8's. I wouldn't worry about it.

Theres almost no way it's a burn in. I have this on my brand new unit that i noticed on the 1st day of use before installing my Whitestone. At this point the screen and only been on for about 20 mins. I know this because my phone as of now only has 31 charging cycles on it.

Yup normal. However I seen a user on here who had it discolor and could be seen under normal use.
Been looking into it why I'm at work. It is an optical adhesive and perfectly normal. However from what I'm guessing Samsung let a few out with bad adhesive and that's what causesd his what he thought was burn in.
But normal to see it under uv under certain wave length's. If you see it without UV light then that is an issue. Or if you have your display on and can see the outline of it.
Same Norland adhesive we use at my work on some of our optical stuff.
Just a heads up. The light they give you with the dome is not the right wavelength for the adhesive they use. Final cure you will wanna do 2 min total for each top and bottom. If not the adhesive will still be green "not fully cured" the adhesive they use is on the cheeper end of the spectrum but fine for what it is being used for. That much adhesive in a top of the line product would be around $30. But I used it on my. Did a final cure of 2 min top and bottom. Checked it out under a high power microscope and it was fully cured. No issues with it lifting.

So you've been meaning to say that if we see this without UV light (which I see in my device when I'm in a dim room and I let my phone show dark grey to dark green colors), then it's not normal? Then if it's Samsung fault, would they fix it in a repair center (hopefully free of charge)?
Im just quite pissed off for this since I came from S9+ and I havent had any issues with the screen. Couldn't they be at least consistent with things like this given the fact the display is one of the most selling point of this phone?
p.s. and oh, just to add, what's appearing on mine is not just some rectangular flat discoloration on my screen, it has dark polkadots lined in a grid inside just like many others have been complaining about.

Touch screen issue test / reproduction (video)

Hi All,
I also experience the touch screen issue on my Galaxy S20 FE.
I have created a short video on how to check and reproduce it: Galaxy S20FE touch screen issue - testing and reproducing
Please share your comments if you also experience it.
Did that experiment and i think my device is "ghost touch free".

Yes, if you don't experience this, you unit is issue-free. I have also asked others to test, they have no issue at all.
This is why I think that *might* be a hardware/production issue.

Yes, that's what it would seem to suggest - and it's discouraging, I was really hoping this was a software issue. Would the 120 Hz refresh be a factor in this? That is, do you get the same result at 60 Hz?

Nothing. Either under charging or not, either 60Hz or 120Hz, no matter if Touch Sensitivity is set to low or high, it happens.
But as it doesn't happen for everyone with the same software, it tends to be a hardware issue or a production defect.

Thanks for the feedback. It seems not all users are having this issue. If you cannot reproduce the issue following the video instructions, then you are touch error-free. But then, it shows that it is not a general issue, but some manufacturing defect. For the red tint, I have seen your other post, I also have a barely visible greenish one, around where the camera is, and around the bottom 1/3 mark. But as it was stated, it is somewhat "normal".

Good question. I spoke with Samsung Support and they wanted me to visit the Service Center. I told them that I will not spend that much time on it, this phone is too expensive for having this kind of support. I will just return it and ask for a refund, then wait 1-2 months if the problem is solved.
I was just thinking yesterday...
This phone has Gorilla Glass 3 on the display, which is a way different structure than current GG6 (or GG4). GG3 is much thicker and more acts like a glass (breaks easier). Since GG4, newer Gorilla Glasses are more flexible, thinner, and more durable, too.
What if Samsung has just put a thick glass on top of a modern digitizer (touch panel) which was designed for a different structure and much thinner glass layer, and this causes the touch problems?

I notice it under normal circumstances like browsing, while straight looking at it, when the page background is like pale yellow/orange. It is only a bit visible, but when you read text and scroll, it is disturbing that the greenish tint remains on the screen. But honestly, this is not that bad. On a white background, I don't even notice it.
When I look from a bottom angle and moving the phone's angle, the tint bars move as well.

You mean are referring to the green tint correct? Are you saying that you have no reddish/pink tint at all on your phone?
I notice it very clearly when looking at it at angle or even normal position. And I can see it move when I move the phone to different positions.
the XDA review has the same issue actually (nothing on the touchscreen): https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-s20-fe-review/
"The viewing angles, though, are disappointing because the display still features visible angular color shifting to blue as well as a rainbow out interference effect at extreme angles. Newer Samsung OLED panels have eliminated the rainbow out interference effect, and also reduced off-axis color shifting by a significant amount. The Galaxy S20+’s viewing angles, for example, are much better because the color shifting is much lower. Strangely, even the cheaper Galaxy M51 (review) doesn’t feature the interference effect issue (that is likely caused by the polarizer)."

EU. I bought the phone in the official German Samsung webshop. If I would be out of the return period, I would of course take it to the Service Center even with the red tint, but this way, I will just return it.

True, I have no reddish tint, I have some greenish one When looking straight at the phone, it is around the opposite side of the camera, and about a thumb tall. But really, not that visible, I just see it because I know it is there
I read the quoted article. This can also easily happen because of Gorilla Glass 3, maybe it has different inner reflection that causes these bands.

That sounds reasonable...however, what about all the phones using GG5, 6, or above that have a tempered glass screen protector on them, which would certainly make the glass atop the digitizer much thicker, and that do NOT have any touch issues? It seems to me that the thickness of the glass...up to a reasonable measure that I do not know what it may be...is not the issue here because my S20 FE does not have the touch issues. But mine does always turn on in my pocket. So it seems as if the proximity sensor is faulty. I wonder if this "bug" is somehow related to the touch issues. Though they appear to be different problems...they are related to how the screen works. Clearly something is wrong and I am not sure that any of it can be fixed with software. SMH

You are right, I also thought of it, but not only the thickness, but also the material structure can cause problems like transferring more static electricity to the digitizer that cause ghost touches. And the glass screen protector is on top of the screen which is far enough in distance from the digitizer. I can also imagine that combining this digitizer with GG3 would require less manufacturing tolerance than they used, and that causes just too much defective units. Just guessing...
But as you also stated, problems are mostly with the screen and touch panel. Ghost touches, incorrect finger recognition causing jerks, pocket wakeup, reddish/greenish tint on the screen. And +1: not all users have this problem.
If this would be a software-related issue, all models would be affected more or less. If some units are fine, some are wrong, with the exact same software, then it should be a hardware-related problem. Question: do they used different brand of digitizers for different units, or there is just a huge ratio of defective units coming out of the factory because they had to put as many units on sale as they could because Pixel 5 and iPhone 12 has arrived and they wanted to catch a lot of customers? Just guessing, again...

True, I have no reddish tint, I have some greenish one When looking straight at the phone, it is around the opposite side of the camera, and about a thumb tall. But really, not that visible, I just see it because I know it is there
I read the quoted article. This can also easily happen because of Gorilla Glass 3, maybe it has different inner reflection that causes these bands.

So strange, every one of the phones I looked at in the store has these bands. Surprised yours does not.

If watching from bottom angle, I see the bands, but in straight view, I only see some greenish tint. It is not very disturbing for me. I mean, I have a LED TV, which has some of these typical IPS clouding effect on the screen edges. 99% of the time, it is not visible because the content is bright. But when watching a movie that has a night scene and there is no ambient light in the room, it is awful. But in general, I like the TV

Interesting, thank you for the response. I see the red tint straight on and at angles too, so maybe we have a similar issue but a different color?
I also have a LG OLED, which can look quite bad in some very dark scenes because of banding.

That might be the case! Different color, but the same tint / band.
