[Galaxy S6 General] exclaimed:
Let me know what you think about this one. Bit green up top and bottom.
[Galaxy S6 General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
Yea, can definitely see a pint tint in the middle. I would go and get a replacement if it's bothering you.

Honestly, I am so fed up with this issue. If my next replacement is not perfect, then I am asking for a refund.
[Galaxy S6 General] dermotti:
Eh depends how bad it is in person. Just be warned you have a good chance to get a phone thats worse.

If you dont mind playing the multiple exchange game, ide say go for it.

It took me 6 phones to get an acceptable one.
[Galaxy S6 General] daffie:
We're in the same boat...now on my 6th S6 and although the screen is still not perfect, it's the best one yet so decided to keep this one :)
[Galaxy S6 General] otacon888:
I switched my phone 5 times...decided to stay with the last switch...sick of switching...

[Galaxy S6 General] User1303:
i have that on mine too, i noticed it when i got the phone but i didn't really think it was a big deal since it wasnt that much.

However; and this is important, if you are planning on using the phone with the Gear VR, like me. then this is a HUG issue.

because you have one side of the screen darker on dark colors, when you use it with VR and the screen gets dark you will have one eye pretty much off or closed.

so like watching a movie in the VR cinema is awful and will give you headaches within minutes of watching it.

after hours and days on the phone with samsung they still dont wanna change my phone and asking me to send it for repair for 2 weeks, and of course they wont give you a loan phone for the time.

( i live in the Netherlands, the world's worse service ever)

You are not alone my friend.. Same in Sweden.. ?
[Galaxy S6 General] exxi:
I've got some banding across the lower half of the screen. It bothers me sometimes. Anyone else with banding issues?
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
Yeah, strips here n there.

Can still see it in lower lighting. Think I'm gonna send it off to Samsung! FFS
[Galaxy S6 General] Kinetical:
The funny thing is Samsung claimed that 10 million S6 phones were sold in the first month of launching, while this thread keeps growing.
[Galaxy S6 General] daffie:
Nothing funny about it...if you've read this thread then you've seen that many ultimately keep their S6, even after 5 or 6 exchanges :o
[Galaxy S6 General] otacon888:
Perhaps half of those phones were switched phones. :)

Got the phone today and it had a purple tint half way down the screen that was clearly visible against a white background and a wiggling home button.

It was a 32Gb T-mobile black.

Got it replaced and the screen is perfect and the home button very sturdy.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jonathan-H:
I've been struggling to get used to mine, to the point I even put an expensive screen protector on to attempt to get over it and put up with it but the more I use the phone the more it's putting me off it. Having to consciously avoid looking at the bottom of the screen when scrolling webpages and facebook. Can't believe they let these screens out like this. The note 2 screen is perfect and the note 4 screen is much much better than this.
[Galaxy S6 General] RustySpoons:
So i'm on my 3rd S6 now, I thought I had what was a decent screen, no tint, no green/red blotches.

But I have 2 very very feint lines running horizontally, they are hardly noticeable when looking at a white, grey or coloured background, takes a while to find them if you look and look away.

But when you scroll a webpage you can notice these, it's annoying me and once seen cannot be un-seen.

Has anyone else got this?
[Galaxy S6 General] Strawberry1987:
Guys, onto my third unit from Amazon uk I give up going to wait till August.

First unit came with a pink screen even on low brightness what worst was dust under the screen.

Second unit came with a bright white screen but the back camera has dust inside the lens.

Third unit came no dust but the pink issue was even worst than my first unit back it goes for a full refund.
[Galaxy S6 General] ReBorn1983:
Just received the third s6 edge...

No yellowish tint or extremely bad viewing angles.

But I am a little confused. The seal was broken. At first i thought they just send back my last phone, but I checked the Imei and they are different. I think mybe they (Vodafone Germany) got a little upset about the 2 "DOAs" i've send back and checked the screen in prior ;)

If the screen is really ok with this one... I am finally happy
[Galaxy S6 General] cined:
I had an S6 a couple of days a go and I notice a slight pink tint near the top of the screen but I can only really see it when I'm on a white page

Would this be case for a return ? It seems a lot of people here are getting them replaced and having the exact same issue

I could get a worse one though

I'm not sure how bad mine is considered
[Galaxy S6 General] Strawberry1987:
Depends if your on contract for two years I would keep on sending it back till you get one without any problems. The more people sending their devices back to samsung regarding to this issue more likely samsung will fix it quickly.
[Galaxy S6 General] cined:
I don't want to go through the cycle of getting replacement after replacement though as Vodafone will start asking questions

Here are another 2 images
[Galaxy S6 General] Andi1000:
In the end, it's always your decision.

If you can deal with, it is ok. I would send it back, not because of the pink or yellow tint. Because of bad uniformity.
[Galaxy S6 General] cined:
Oh my screen has bad uniformity to ?

Will see if the replacement on Friday is any better

Always been the same though..... I had similar issues with the S2 and S4

If the replacement I get on Friday sucks as well then I'll probably just cancel and get an HTC or something

Annoyed
[Galaxy S6 General] dermotti:
Being through 6 phones myself, i would exchange that one. You have a pretty much equal chance of getting a better or worse one. I had 3 worse that your and 3 better.

I do think not theres a perfect screen but my last one is almost perfect and worlds better than yours.

Exchange it for sure
[Galaxy S6 General] Strawberry1987:
Good luck with your replacement unit I hate this exchange game I had given up after exchanging three GS6 Sim free on Amazon.

Next time any launch products I'm going to wait two to three months before purchasing it so they can iron out any bugs or defects.

My iphone 6 I had to exchange 5 times in september given up and rephased in January no problems at all.
[Galaxy S6 General] otacon888:
I also got sick of switching...eventually kept my latest swap with a slight yellow tint thats uniform.

[Galaxy S6 General] cined:
Any one here exchanged with Vodafone UK before

I'm wondering how many times they'll let me exchange
[Galaxy S6 General] Strawberry1987:
You should be allow three to four times before they tell you to try another device.
[Galaxy S6 General] legend221:
There should never be a reason to get so many replacements. Samsung is really showing it's true colors by releasing half baked and flawed phones to consumers.

What a shame.

[Galaxy S6 General] Strawberry1987:
They are becoming another Apple rushing products production with little QC to hit the sale record i hate companies who do this just watch once the hype has die down.

The next batches GS6 phone build between July and next year will be perfect.

Miss the days getting a perfect device on the first try are long gone.
[Galaxy S6 General] cined:
When I get my replacement what should I be looking for ?

Just any tints etc ?

I'm sure no phone screen is going to be perfect though

I guess its just a case of getting one with minimal tint
[Galaxy S6 General] legend221:
Exactly, and the only reason they are even noticing a problem with the screen is because of xda and a few other people that have mentioned it online. Most S6 users don't even know there is an issue in the 1st place.

Think about the thousands upon thousands that have the defective units now.

Even if it doesn't have the best hardware on the planet I am going to buy the LG G4 once released. Hope for the best and go all in.

Samsung is slowly becoming the Android version of Apple. Sad but true.

Funny thing is Amazon thinks I'm taking the piss swapping out three phones I feel bad for anyone have go through this. Is things like this make give up even upgrading each year. So much stress lol
[Galaxy S6 General] cined:
What screen defects have your replacements had

Has anyone here got a truly 'perfect' phone
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
I've noticed the issue of the tint seems to dissapear when auto brightness is turned off, or, I don't allow the screen to dim as much.
[Galaxy S6 General] dermotti:
I find the best way is to surf the xda site at night at low brightness. that seems to show screen imperfections the best.

If you can survive an hour of browsing this way, your screen is probably acceptable and i would keep it.
[Galaxy S6 General] Strawberry1987:
Mine defects was first one came with pink screen and dust under the screen.

Second one no pink screen but dust on my back camera.

Third unit had pink screen they told me I could have a fourth replacement I decided not to take it incase my account get flagged for too many returns. Heard many horror stories Amazon banning people accounts for excessive returns.

I agree no phones are perfect but what takes the piss is I had phones which are £50 no brand name came with white screen. With a big name like Samsung they should really live up to what they are selling.
[Galaxy S6 General] cined:
Agreed

I can only get over the door exchanges with Vodafone for the first 14 days so I need to make sure I get a good device from them before then - If not I will probably cancel and try for another device
[Galaxy S6 General] Tricks25:
Is the tint problem a widespread global issue??

Im planning to buy an s6 but i really dont want the hassle of getting a replacement..
[Galaxy S6 General] testimony:
Can anyone please look at the photos in this album and advise me for/against replacement?

The first picture is when the screen is generally viewed. The last two are zoomed into.

[Galaxy S6 General] Fro1ex:
I have this problem, the bottom half is yellowish and the top is pinkish. How do the replacements work? I got the phone as a gift from another country. Is this something that has to go through the store where the phone was purchased? It's off contract.

Unrelated: I'm loving the phone except for the above and... HORRIBLE battery life. I'm talking 1% decrease every other minute. Is this to be excepted the first couple of cycles?

Also mine gets really hot, never had a phone that does thus before (x10, sgs3,n5). Is this normal?
[Galaxy S6 General] D4rk_nVidia:
I got an LG G Flex 2 and the display is bad too. Its already the third one and now I get the S6. After ordering the S6 I saw this thread and hope that my screen is ok....

Arent there perfect screens?

Or are there only screens with less problems
[Galaxy S6 General] dermotti:
I have to imagine it is. The odds of me getting 5 in a row with screens bad enough to annoy the living crap out me is pretty slim.

My 6 th phone is barely noticable and i really have to look hard to notice it.

6 is the lucky number :)

Wow you really have to swap that many times before you got a decent screen

If my replacement on Friday sucks to I might go for an iPhone, does anyone know if they have screen issues like this

I wrote to Samsung ceo office UK and showed them the images from this thread. The response was that this was considered "within specification" they said I will get an official letter saying this soon... so basically what we find we find unacceptable they are on with spec wise...

I had to swap My iPhone 6 four times on launch day last year September due to dead pixels.

I didn't repchased it till January this year Pefect out the box. I think you be problem free on any iphone now after it had been out nearly 9 months. Any problems already been resolved within that timeframe.

They should rethink their advertising to Brand new Samsung Galaxy s6 comes with a pink screen.
[Galaxy S6 General] dt33:
Just got mine S6 64GB Blue Topaz and so far dont see any problem that have mentions here. Tried to take pictures with mine Note 2, but somehow it looks like discolored at sides and Im sure mien Note 2 camera is the culprit. The pciture doesnt looks like it in real and its total white. But I upload it anyway.

Mine S6 Blue is made in Vietnam and Manufacture date is 20150509. Just 12 day from manufacture to mine hand. But Blue was in stock already last week and i waited until this week to ordered it.

I just placed a brand new order on Samsung online UK store for Galaxy s6 128gb gold will update you guys hope my fourth device is perfect I'm not to receive it till June 5th hopefully they have resolved the screen issues soon.
[Galaxy S6 General] cined:
I really don't think this is an issue they will resolve though because this has happened on the S2 and S4

We do also need to understand that it's not possible to get perfect uniformity on any display
[Galaxy S6 General] khaltire:
damnit

First one had a greenish blue tint at the top to a white on the bottom, faded halfway through the screen. IT was relatively minor but decided to swap it anyways.

Screen two had an overal pinkish white tint, with more pink towards the bottom half of the screen, and a loose headphone jack that headphones wouldnt fit snugly into

Finally got my 3rd today, excited. Has a whitish pink screen (completely diff than my first, simiar whites to second), and then the darkest pink in the bottom left corner (not specifically half hte display). This was the worst so far.

My carrier said they are going to contac tthe warehouse and see if I can get one from another batch or shipment.

All made in vietnam. I might just keep the first one. ****ing amoled!

Do the white or gold S6's have this issue also

It's really noticeable to me on the left center of the screen also when I take pictures using the back camera their are pink dots :confused::confused:

My replacement to the gold one now looks really great. Uniformity is near perfect. The only thing to complain is, it is a little bit darker with 100% brightness than the gold one. But that's no problem for me.

Here it is
[Galaxy S6 General] Strawberry1987:
Samsung are really not taking their time with their quality control.

I really hope fourth unit arrives good never ever in my life I had this much hassle with Samsung.

My Galaxy s3 was perfect out the box

Even my Galaxy s4 was good out the box too

That replacement above looks decent. still see pink in the top left corner.. What manufacturer date? Ive gone through 3 gold ones, all pretty tinted on either the bottom or the top
[Galaxy S6 General] Strawberry1987:
Samsung keeps on saying this is acceptable which I do not agree at all some customers are paying upto £1200 around £50 a month for a top handset.

Anyone get a pink screen keep on sending it back until you get one that is acceptable.

Still await 128gb gold from (Samsung UK.)

How many times have you replaced your phone with Vodafone Cined did Vodafone give you any hassle at all when asking for replacements.

Three UK labelled me as a problem customer two years ago for exchanging 4 iPhone 5s all came with dead pixels/yellow screens they simply refused a fifth replacement handset.

Told me to accept it and cannot cancel my contract and no more replacement devices allowed took me over two months of arguing writing to head office.

To terminate my contract with them.

Hoping Vodafone don't operate the same horrible policy as three UK does.
[Galaxy S6 General] Funkym0nkey:
Yeah, those buggers doing the same here.

See the reply from Samsung India about issue I faced with mine..... I just returned it in the end to the store. That too after having to threaten them with consumer court case, they took it back. Initially refused to even accept return for this issue.

So they accept it an issue but just not the issue for which they will give replacement saying my issue is different than some of the issues faced in this thread (had linked this thread to them) , what clusterf**k.
[Galaxy S6 General] lorin_93:
Hi guys,

I've also got a black S6 (Vietnam, 8-04-2015) which was sold to someone in Italy (italian csc) but I bought it from that person in the UK.

Mine has had a pink tint on the bottom left and a green tint on the top right. I have been to a Samsung experience store (in the UK) and the guy only accepted to check my IMEI after I argued with him about the terms and conditions for warranty and he saw I was right (he was initially arrogant upon hearing the phone is an italian version) . He tried to convince me the screen is okay since the red, green and blue colours were fine (he was in that diagnostic menu). I argued with him that these were okay but the issues were only noticeable on white and grey backgrounds... he said that what they can do is to change the screen, they don't exchange phones whatsoever, and that I had to contact Samsung UK for an exchange. Yeah, great Samsung experience in a Samsung experience store. I of course refused to let them try to change the screen.

Anyway, what I am observing now is that the problem seems to be ameliorating. It was really bothering me during the first few days with the phone, but now I can barely notice it. And what's strange is that yesterday evening and the evening before, I couldn't notice it at all. Right now (it's 12am in england), I can sort of see it if I search for it, but otherwise, it is really difficult to notice it. Though I am not sure if it is going away or my eyes are getting used to it. I have also run this app for a few hours https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rane.screentestfix, though, I am not sure if it was of any use, it might be worth giving it a try.

And the reason for me not contacting Samsung directly is that in a week I am leaving the country so I don't want to end up having no phone or one that's worse than the one I currently have.

So if you have the issue and can't exchange the phone for whatever reason, I would suggest that you wait and see, maybe it will start to ameliorate and it will eventually be perfectly tolerable or who knows, disappear entirely.
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
Totally with you on this one.

...just how hard is it to do some effort... :eek:
[Galaxy S6 General] Andi1000:
Somebody here mentioned that it could be a problem with burning the color of the screen, if you try to compensate a tint with a filter. For example with the app screen equalizer.

I'm running the app at the moment with a real conservative adjustment with the color blue. Just to get less washed out white.

What's your opinion?
[Galaxy S6 General] lorin_93:
I cannot confirm that as I can't see the issue at all during the evening/night. It's really really weird.

I wanted to just live with it but I have used the phone on facebook/twitter/fbmessenger quite a lot today, and it began driving me crazy (as it is quite visible on the white/grey backgrounds used by these apps). Asked some friends to give feedback on the screen without telling them about the issue, both said the pink on the left bottom and the green on the top right are visible and noticeable in the mentioned applications. I asked the seller for a refund.
[Galaxy S6 General] D4rk_nVidia:
Mine S6 Black with 32GB has a good display. I saw this thread after sending back another phone and getting this and I thought I will get an bad device too but everything looks to be okay. So i only want to say that there are a few phones without problems :D

Guys, I can't stress this enough but believe me when I say that you shouldn't return your device prematurely.

I'm someone who is super obsessive about gadgets, particularly about screens of all shapes and sizes. I've even returned my TV a few times, went through all the hassle just to have alleged perfection...

The new devices always had something else and it kept going.

Trust me, this stars and ends between your ears. My screen has a noticeable tint in the lower quadrant. I obsessed about it for a few days but eventually I made the conscious choice to just use the device and enjoy it.

Acceptance of imperfections and most importantly facing the resulting Anxiety while telling yourself that it's perfectly okay to feel like this and that it will eventually pass is the key to free yourself from the pink torture.

I'm using my device without even notifying the tint anymore.
[Galaxy S6 General] dermotti:
Anyone with a korean phone have the pink screen issue? I just looked at my friends and while its slightly dimmer than mine, is utterly flawless.
[Galaxy S6 General] logzz:
I have had two galaxy s6 phones and can say there is a pink tint issue but they only reason I bought a second one is because the first one I had was the 64gb model and I wanted a 128gb one. The first screen had a slight pink tint to the left edge. The 128gb one I got has no pink tint issue anywhere on the screen at all but the colours have slightly less pop then the 64gb one but its almost hardly noticeable. I think this thread is blown way out of proportion I just laugh when I see people that have gone through like 5 or 6 phones.
