Here in Korea, the official Samsung Service Center website has issued a statement regarding pink/yellow-tinted screens. I can't post any links since this is my first post, but you can Google "화면 관련, 이런 증상은 고장이 아닙니다."
Here's my translation:
The original statement wasn't very well-written either. They also mentioned that light bleeding around the edges of the screen may occur because they use Flexible Display technology. So, according to Samsung, all of this is normal.
In Korea, you can't just go to the store and ask for a replacement. You have to go to a Samsung Service Center and get your phone inspected for defects. If you're lucky, you'll receive a document that grants you the honor of exchanging your phone. My phone's display was deemed normal, but seriously, the top of my screen is bright and gets darker as you go down... like a gradient. It's really distracting. Additionally, my screen is warmer and lower in brightness compared to other S6 displays. Yet, all I got was a firmware update. Thanks...
I also noticed that a lot of people on the forums are wondering if the Korean-made versions are less defective compared to the ones from Vietnam or China. During my visit, it looked like most of the people there had complaints about their S6/S6 Edges.
I miss the US... Getting your crap replaced was a piece of cake.
I was really hyped up about this phone, but this is most likely my last Samsung.

Q: The colors are different on the top and bottom of my screen. A: The AMOLED displays used in the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge feature high resolution, chroma, and color gamut in order to produce a clear picture. This may produce slight differences in color. However, please visit your nearest service center if you notice a large difference in color to receive an accurate judgement. |
