No tints or anything here, clear whites, no hues or dual toned panel either.

But I got something rather uncommon. There's a black line of like 2-3cm at right bottom corner which is only visible on dark backgrounds when the brightness is at it's lowest and geta a bit lesser when brightness is increased 1 knot from lowest and almost non-existent when brightness goes above 20%, haven't seen anyone report this or I cant find any, coz even I don't even know what to search for since I myself cant understand wth this issue is which gets disappeared when brightness is above 10-15% xD, I've had all my Sammy devices replaced due to uneven screen tones, Note 4 being the most, 9 times. So I'll just keep this coz it's not so annoying unless I'm on the lowest brightness and dark backgrounds considering if I go for a replacement I'm definitely gona get a screen with dual tone display (yellow/pink f u :p) which would be prone at any brightness and backgrounds and indeed annoying (might just be good, but my luck is always bad nyways) I'll just keep this one.

P.S - Anyone has the same prob do chime in, I'd really wana know wth this is and if it by any chance is gona get worse in future maybe...

Hi All

Mine has a pink tint and loosen home button. First replacement had good non pink screen but yellow tint and loosen home button. Second replacement had good screen acceptable home button but pictures taken by 2nd one were very pale. I looked closely on lens and it had finger print on it. Not on little camera cover / glass but on lens itself. All phones brand new and sealed sold by Amazon in UK. Are they all faulty? Do they have hidden/"acceptable" (for some buyers) faults?!They wouldn't replace 3rd time. There is no way I am going to keep £450 faulty phone. This is going back for full refund. I will be looking not faulty one.

I would like to advise all - If you came to this place - please post your own story about pink tint in Galaxy S6. Let's make this picture bigger.

It's crazy how bad my pint tint is. I Carnt take back to carphonewarehouse so lithe only option I got is to send it to samsung and they will repair it not replace it is hat right? Makes me angry that it can pass quality checks when manufacturerd

Screen replacement

You should just get a screen replacement for free via warranty.

I had this kind of problem with my iphone6 , but the color is visible purple.. -_-
[Galaxy S6 General] Johno_Jan:
I got my Galaxy S6 (non-edge) from T-mobile october 23rd

and after the 2nd day I started noticing that the top 1/4th or so

of the screen looked kind of yellow/green...

Then I came across this thread and of course looked closer and

The center to bottom portion of the screen is pinkish!

I can post pictures but im a new user so Idk if its not allowing me or maybe I just dont know how lol.

I'm also dealing with battery drain

Cell standby

Android system

Are the two top drainers and screen is only 3rd -__-

I see some having problems when viewing at direct angle. Mine is good at direct angle. But what if it turns greenish uniformly from 20-30 deg of viewing angle? After having several devices with Sharp screens with ideal viewing angles this kind of difficult to deal with. So could it be considered defect or just a technological aspect of AMOLEDs, so it's on 100% of S6?

Doesn't look uniform on video, but it actually all over the screen

[Galaxy S6 General] Johno_Jan:
interesting interaction at T-mobile

Walked into T-mobile retail store today to exchange my

Galaxy s6 for the pink bottom and yellow top tint.

The guy that was helping me out noticed the slight tint and uneven uniformity

I ACTUALLY FOUND THIS PROBLEM ON 3 OTHER GS6's with the employees' personal phones lmao. They all have bad screens too and didnt realize it!!!!!!

They're gonna send me a warranty exchange for a certified like new

In 1 day and i will check to see if that one is good and if not im keeping mine and asking them to try to send me another one.

IS THERE A NEAR PERFECT SCREEN IN EXISTENCE THOUGH?
[Galaxy S6 General] mike871987:
Same issue with pink screen

Hello all,

I had the same issue with my screen,i had the phone for 1 week and didnt notice anything...i thought it was absolutely perfect,then a friend of mine noticed it was a little pink on the bottom.I asked for from a samsung service center to fix it and they replace the screen.

The problem now is even bigger and it moved to the top of the screen...now is terrible!! I am very disappointed...
[Galaxy S6 General] eighty-four:
Been in Samsung Store today. Their demo units have ideal screens. No such effect. So seems to be defective filters. Will take it to Samsung Service.
[Galaxy S6 General] lirau:
I have the same issue(my screen's bottom is red), in china's forum, we call it red.

I'm really frustrated on Samsung's quality control.

In fact this is my first Samsung phone.

I don't know whether it will improve or get worse as time goes by.

Whatever i'll not buy a Samsung phone anymore.
[Galaxy S6 General] abdo9119:
I have noticed a very faint uneven vertical stripes in the screen, especially in light grey screen. I have to replace it?
[Galaxy S6 General] abdo9119:
The worst company I have ever seen, I have made 4 replacements. the 1st one has a defective home screen button, the 2nd one has faint lines on screen, the 3rd one the screen is separated from the phone body, the 4th one has this damn greenish tint. I do not know what to do now? I think I will accept this damn mobile, but next time I will buy iPhone.
[Galaxy S6 General] chrisswistak92:
i am also experiencing a thick faint grey line on the left of the screen. Would i take the phone back to where it was purchased (Best Buy Mobile), or to the carrier (AT&T)?
[Galaxy S6 General] rsndetre:
My wife's S6 got a barrely visible red tint when you look at the display perpendiculary. If I tilt the device just a bit, the red tint will disapear. I wonder if it's worth going to service with this ... is not very noticeable. Maybe if it gets worse ....

Anyway, the device is god damn amazing.
[Galaxy S6 General] eighty-four:
After all Samsung denied it's an issue and returned a device with defective screen. Samsung support also turns on a fool mode and says warranty won't be offered since they does not recognize it as a problem. Chinese phones nowadays have much better quality control and assembly then this Korean odd.
[Galaxy S6 General] TML1504:
same vertical stripes here on s6e+,

i wrote a few threads in regard to samsung amoled quality since s2...

in short: it's a total luck of the draw if you get a decent screen or not. but most people do not recognize bad screens, so sammy won't care!
[Galaxy S6 General] noob924:
I think my screen is messed up, 1 side of the screen is sinking into the body of the phone :/
[Galaxy S6 General] eighty-four:
they won't care even if you do. just acts like it's natural for their screens and reject replacement.
[Galaxy S6 General] gincia:
Hello everyone,

My device is not an S6, it is A5, however I am experiencing the same screen issues as stated in this topic. In my country laws let sellers not to accept from consumers phones with such problems as AMOLED screen tint issues. They offer warranty service, where if they acknowledge the problem, they just change the screen.

A few years ago I had an S2 with green tint all over the screen. The screen was changed in warranty service for free, but it does not solved the problem, the new screen had also horrible green tint!

This week I bought a new A5 and wuolia, similar AMOLED problem persists: on the 1/4 of the screen there is a pink tint...I am attaching the pictures. What do you think? Should I go to warranty to have the screen replaced? The problem is, that there are so many screens even in warranty service, that changing it - may not solve the problem at all or get even worse. I read here, that people have opportunity to change the whole phone, and they change it 3-5 times until they get without screen tint issues. It is a very big percent of defective screens and the quality control of Samsung is awful.
[Galaxy S6 General] kdavidyates:
Just upgraded to an S6 from an LG G2, and can't believe how much better the screen is on the G2. I've read through this entire thread, and my screen seems to be one of the worst I have seen. Do you guys agree? Trying to figure out the odds of getting a replacement that is even worse. As you can see from the pics, there's a clear pink tint at the top, which turns to green about 2/3 the way down. I'd probably deal with it if it were uniform, but the two-tone effect is just awful.
[Galaxy S6 General] iamhacked:
You've gotta be kidding me
[Galaxy S6 General] kdavidyates:
Thanks for that.

No, I'm I'm not kidding. QHD resolution is nice but not that much of a step from 1080p for screens this size, and I don't care about colours that "pop". I do care, however, that half my screen is pink and the other half is green. On my G2 colours are accurate, whites are excellent, blacks are good enough, and I honestly prefer it to my S6 for internet browsing and general use.

Anyway, I didn't post to argue the merits of various kinds of screen, fascinating though that would be. I posted because I was hoping someone would tell me whether my S6 looks like a bad enough case that I'm more likely to get a better one than worse if I have it replaced.
[Galaxy S6 General] iamhacked:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH how can you possibly think the G2's display is accurate? Colors are way over saturated, whites have a blue tinge.... At least the S6 gives you screen modes to choose from. Choose "basic" or "amoled photo"
[Galaxy S6 General] kdavidyates:
OK, whatever. I don't need you to agree with me on this, it's not important to me. I just want someone to give me an idea, if possible, of the likelihood of getting a better screen than the one in the images if I send it for replacement.

Does anyone want to comment on whether this is a severe case of uneven tint, or is more or less par for the course?
[Galaxy S6 General] jamesmcd:
Please advice if this is acceptable

The pink tint is there visible if looked carefully.
[Galaxy S6 General] kdavidyates:
Don't know if it's typical, but looks pink at the left, greenish at the right, like mine. Mine is manufactured in Vietnam, September 2015. How about yours? I'm attaching a photo of mine with text. This is what I've sent to the mail order company, who are going to try very hard not to replace my handset, judging by their emails. They denied seeing the tint in several other photos so I thought I would make it easier for them with some text.

Any opinions about whether a replacement is more than 50% likely to be better than this?
[Galaxy S6 General] mannequin:
yes, try to exchange if you can as it does look pretty bad.
[Galaxy S6 General] eighty-four:
Mine is even worse and you know how it ended - Samsung said it's perfect and they won't replace it.

No, it's indeed better. You can see how poor viewing angles on AMOLED. LG IPS isn't best IPS out there, Sharp is much better, but still even LG IPS is much better than Samsung's AMOLED. There might be a problem with blacks and poor contrast when looking at diagonals, but we rarely look on phone like this. Yet poor, TN-like, viewing angles of AMOLED are pretty much visible in everyday usage.
[Galaxy S6 General] jamesmcd:
Mine is made in Brazil Oct 2015. The green hue is bothering me more than the pink one.. I am sending my phone to service center for screen replacement as the phone is fine otherwise and it has sony camera lens..

This will be my last Samsung phone anyways .. I sincerely ask everyone to publicize this issue otherwise Samsung won't correct it's mistake..
[Galaxy S6 General] kdavidyates:
I agree. I could deal with a uniform pink hue, but two tone pink and green makes them both much more noticeable. I'm sending mine back to the Hungarian grey import company I bought it from. I fully expect to get it back in 2 months with a note saying that there's nothing wrong with it.
[Galaxy S6 General] jamesmcd:
Update: screen replacement didn't helped.. same issue .. but again the pattern of the tint is similar now.. service center is going for the logic board replacement.. not sure if there is any relation .. let's see how it goes..
[Galaxy S6 General] Johno_Jan:
My 4th Gs6 had very good screen uniformity, but had

Issues with heating up for no reason and draining battery

I would never even get 3 hrs SOT with minimal use and dimmed

Screen.

So went for a replacement, got a pink screen

Then another and of course... pink screen.

I cant attach the photos cus im a new user but its ridiculous!
[Galaxy S6 General] jamesmcd:
at least you have the replacement option .. you can keep trying but here I am still waiting for my phone from service center.. they have sent this to quality team .. but I have decided to sell off my phone this weekend.. Even if I make some loss .. I will have peace of mind.. Alas! this will be the only S6 thread I participated.. I may switch to iphone .. so will miss XDA also:crying:
[Galaxy S6 General] eighty-four:
I'm trying to ditch my SGS6 as well, as Samsung rejected to provide any support. Yet nobody wants to buy it.
[Galaxy S6 General] jamesmcd:
Lookout for swappa or any such website in your region.. or you can use this as a secondary phone .. or if you can afford then donate..

Nothing can be more shameful for Samsung that it's current flagship phone customers are talking about selling their phones after no proper support ..
[Galaxy S6 General] siedenburg:
i also think to sell my s6 and go to something like the lg g4, the new nexus or the op2.

i've send my phone to datrepair (german by samsung licensed workshop) because i had some problems with my screen.

After 1 week they checked my phone and told me i have to pay 275€ (for repair) or 17€ (send back without repair) because I had some very small scratches (after about 7 month of usage).

Reason for the high bill is that it is my fault that the screen got scratches, so it is my fault that the screen doesn't work properly.

After that I called samsung which told me i have to write an email to their support (can't call them). that was Fri 18th. Till now they doesn't answered on my mail and the workshop still want the money.

Currently I've bought a Moto G 2015 and I have to say that it isn't that bad. It's just not powerfull enough for all of my needs (photos, a bit hearthstone and 1080p videos)

Here is a pic of the scratches

Just the "big white" ones are scratches. the slight white lines are just from the powder to find scratches.
[Galaxy S6 General] jamesmcd:
I think they are asking the high price to replace the entire screen ..and not the glass only .. but the new screen can have the pink tint issue.. so get a confirmation in mail if they will replace again for free .. now I doubt if S6 really has gorilla glass 4 or that is also a lottery .. screen and camera is lottery we know
[Galaxy S6 General] Audioboxer:
My years of experience with AMOLED is the majority of them all have some sort of tint. I simply see it as the trade off for perfect blacks.

What is much worse to me is the backlight bleed lottery with LCD screens, and some tinting on AMOLED is far better a trade-off than lightbleed IMO.
[Galaxy S6 General] jamesmcd:
Agree.. any product can have defect .. but major issue is with Samsung's service in non-developed countries where getting replacement is a big fuss .. Samsung kept me waiting for more than 2 weeks and they were doing simply nothing .. they said we are waiting for quality team .. technical team etc etc .. they didn't even have any excuse also ..

again for AMOLED the tint becomes an issue when this is not negligible .. for me I first noticed than came to this thread but I am sure many people first read this thread and then noticed the issue .:P
[Galaxy S6 General] eighty-four:
Majority, but not all. Demo units in Smasung flagship stores are perfect. That means they know of them problem and deliberately selecting demo units. They also intentionally shipping defected devices. They also intentionally shipping selected demo units to reviewers, so basically saying they faking up them.

Blacks aren't perfect either. Black is only good at 90 deg as well. But once you tilt it just a bit in your hand, on a street or in a light room, black turns to be mid gray, making it not better than old LCD. My MX2's Sharp NM2 display had perfect black on a street and in a bright light room. So AMOLED only have better black in entirely dark room.
[Galaxy S6 General] eighty-four:
Comparing with demo unit in Samsung store

[YOUTUBE]hIpPit_zYgc[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy S6 General] Spikeyhome:
I have just received the following reply from Samsung "Please be advised that the device is not faulty. The background wallpaper for the default theme is not a flat colour, and is designed to be more pink in the bottom right hand corner. When you move the phone, the pink tinge also moves and again this is part of the design to give a 3d effect to photos. Images will move slightly depending on the angle of the phone - so as you tilt the phone, more or less of the pink area may be revealed."
[Galaxy S6 General] eighty-four:
Weeks after i finally received an answer from Samsung on this video. So they simply blames me on this. It's just settings they say.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIpPit_zYgc

We actually have largest retailers and mobile operators boycotting Samsung for defect rates and for rejecting RMA claims. So Smasung marketshare dropped twice in Russia from 40% to 20%. Let's support it. Don't buy anything from Samsung. Advise your friends, people you know not to buy Samsung if they want warranty and service.
[Galaxy S6 General] Duzzy5:
Yeah i too have to live with pink tint in bottom right corner, thats sad when you pay top price :)
[Galaxy S6 General] trenzterra:
I was one of the more vocal users back when this thread was started. I've been living with my S6 for nine months now, and over time I don't really notice it anymore. Sure, it will never be a perfect screen, but in daily use it works well. Thus, I would encourage you guys to actually use your phones instead of being bothered by this.

It seems though as more and more phones move towards AMOLED (LG G5 is rumoured to be AMOLED as are the coming iPhones), we'll get more of such issues cropping up in future. So it may just be a way of life.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
My screen was that bad it had a black dlotch on the side next to the let top corner on the edge they said it was a bleeding edge they are replacing my screen for free for me in Samsung store where I originally got it

Pink tint issue on display

I am owning a samsung s5 and i have noticed a very light pink tint on display on my phone , the phone is working all fine so what should i do , should i replace the display or keep on using it as it is as it is working fine ??? (HELP)
[Galaxy S6 General] Sheryl John:
Also having similar display issue with my S7. Just curious to ask, You did all the 4 replacements within your 7 days replacement period?
[Galaxy S6 General] jocaboss:
I'm not sure if this is the wright topic to tell this. Btw, my screen after few months unglued itself in bottom left corner. The Samsung technical support have changed the screen for a new one for free. I realize this new screen is much better than the other in uniformity of colors, specifically in the dark gray colors. Battery life seems to be better now either.
[Galaxy S6 General] lenteenes:
That's great.

And i also buy the repair parts at the HCQS.US
[Galaxy S6 General] alisaGrg:
Hi Truestark. Hope I get reply from you with this a year old thread. I have the uniformity issue in my Galaxy S7 too. Would like to know whether you had any similar problems? In the image you attached with that quoted post (which is re-attached with this post) the red marked area have a dark band relatively. Is this due to the camera? or the defect in the screen?

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 General] :
It's a screen defect. Not because of the camera.
[Galaxy S6 General] ruchirtrehan:
So this is what has happened to my S6's screen.

Switched to iPhone about 5 months back and since then S6 was just sitting in a drawer, today I decided I'll use it as my secondary device and bam the moment I turn it on this is the welcome I get. Never a Samsung for me now, first Note 4 died and now this. Totally pathetic and unacceptable.
[Galaxy S6 General] killerz298:
I had the screen go bad on my S4 and then the power button die on the replacement a few months later. I skipped the S6 because of this thread and thus far my Note 5 is working without issue since October. Hopefully it remains that way!

[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
I think were looking crazy into our screens cause of these threads. Mines very minimum and not bad a tall very minimum tint. I think they all have some to some degree if you look close enough. If it's hardly or really minimum chances are you will get one worse than better
[Galaxy S6 General] hmillhouse:
I think a few people have hinted at it, but does everyone else have terrible viewing angles?

Viewed perfectly straight on, the screen gives a relatively even pinky white colour.

A slight (very slight) angle and the screen rapidly gets a blue tint across it... Never had a phone with such a shift (iPhone, S3, HTC One)

Example photo attached!
[Galaxy S6 General] Hawke84:
Same issue I had. Ones in 4 shops I went to play with didn't have the issue hence I'm sending mine back to try again!
[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
They have the same
[Galaxy S6 General] trenzterra:
Where is your tint located at? I think because mine runs from left to right it gets more annoying..
[Galaxy S6 General] zamotcr:
Mine. I have blue tint above the screen when I tilt.

---------- Post added at 06:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 AM ----------

I do have this issue, but from above.

I do also have a brighter band in the middle of the screen, but it's observable only in dark grey background.
