Like I said, blowing it out of proportion is the issue here. Especially when momentum builds and people start to belive that their issue with it is justified.

My screen has a tint, oh well, it's probably not as bad as in some cases, where even I would have exchanged it.

I've seen a few people on here complaining about a tint that was barely noticeable. This is where you draw the line.

It's like magic, when you ignore it fit a few days and you focus on other aspects (the positive aspects) of the phone, I garantee that you won't notice the tint anymore.

Just give it a shot and let me know how it went
[Galaxy S6 General] Strawberry1987:
I don't usually complain about things but £720 128gb Galaxy s6 cost more money than my 52 inch TV I have every right to exchange till I get one that I'm happy with.

Again...use the Search function! :(
[Galaxy S6 General] Andi1000:
It's the other way around. If I see it once, I will always notice it.

These kind of defects are not acceptable
[Galaxy S6 General] dermotti:
Im one of the 6 phones guys. Sorry im not going to accept a phone like this.
[Galaxy S6 General] exxi:
Samsung is to blame here, I do agree. I can see why many won't accept this. Actually I'm happy that Samsung is incurring huge losses because of the return. Maybe this will force them to get things right the first time around and not release half assed products.

On the other hand I don't see the problem as something to ruin my experience with the phone as whole.
[Galaxy S6 General] Strawberry1987:
Wow that the worst I had seen. That pink is truly horrible.

People saying they have pink tint are people with black / gold model

No white model seems to have the tint it seems
[Galaxy S6 General] hanano17:
Seems 4th time was the charm for me. Glad I didn't settle, even though swapping was getting annoying. For what its worth, this ones also Vietnam 3/27/2015. Oh it seems it also has much better screen uniformity than of the previous 3.
[Galaxy S6 General] vandal4e:
this is quite awful bottom of display is totally green

You are wrong! Use Search function and you will find the answers :rolleyes:

Samsung isn't that racist...
[Galaxy S6 General] Hawke84:
I've come from an s4 which never had this issue. Even looking side by side. I had a very long talk with a helpful person at tech support at Samsung. They went and looked at 2 other phones and it had the same issue. He said they apply an anti reflective tint to help with viewing in daylight. I wear glasses and they have a similar tint at an angle. I'm going to go play with some display u it's today see others really are the same.
[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
Mines pretty good with very minimum tint. I could go looking for a replacement but could get a.worse one x x x x
[Galaxy S6 General] trenzterra:
I came from an s4 which had no such issues. It had grey band lines but that wasn't very noticeable under most circumstances.
[Galaxy S6 General] dk_iceman:
yea but still issues...

I've had S3, S4, S5, Note 2-3-4, Some lumia with ambled, Nexus 6 all of them had issues with amoled screen, mostly like this tint or color tint change on white..

some people don't even notice it other like my self well see it without even looking for it..

my brand new S6 has it mostly noticeable on basis or photo settings so right now im using Cinema because it cooler white balance and don't notice the slight difference in white tint
[Galaxy S6 General] :
My s3 had a perfect screen and my s6 too has no tint or uneven whites... The only problem I ever had with amoled was on th N6, exchanged 2 of em.
[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
You say your cinema is cooler? Is it still warm colour overall. ?

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------

What are your whites like? On the more yellow warmer side?
[Galaxy S6 General] lockdown571:
Just got my S6 from Verizon yesterday. Bottom third of the screen definitely has a yellow tint. Bummer.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
It's neither warm nor cool.. It's pretty much balanced. Also I keep it on cinema mode as I don't like adaptive changing colors in different apps. My s3 was very warm and yellow. And n6 was very cool.. The blues were prominent. But this is just perfect on my s6.. Around 6500 srbg config.
[Galaxy S6 General] qpop:
I have just returned from CPW having returned the original. I tried the new one in the shop and it seemed far more uniform. Fingers crossed it will be ok...
[Galaxy S6 General] trenzterra:
Shop lighting may differ, resulting in the tint being less obvious. I could've sworn under the bright light of the service centre I didn't notice the tint even on my phone.

Anyway I'll just treat it like the brightness is uneven, as it usually is on LCD screens anyway.
[Galaxy S6 General] Hawke84:
God samsung shop returns policy is crap! Have to return the phone, wait 2 weeks before they will send a replacement. Oh and return the £30 voucher. Love the service!
[Galaxy S6 General] trenzterra:
Anyway, here's a picture of mine. It seems to be on the left 1/3 of the screen for mine. I'm having trouble getting it exchanged and even at the service centre there's no stock for the OLED. What should I do? Is it something you get used to in time? Right now it's bothering me to no end. I'm really hoping it somehow goes away with time like the OPO yellow tint.
[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
I don't see it
[Galaxy S6 General] trenzterra:
Is this more obvious? IRL it doesn't look as bad, but still noticeable.
[Galaxy S6 General] kLN93:
yeah I see it, I didnt even know I had it unless I saw this thread lol. i also have a pinkish tint on the bottom left of the screen, hard to see but its annoying, deciding if I should return it
[Galaxy S6 General] qpop:
That is poor. Complain on Twitter; companies are terrified of complaints trending. Bet they'll courier a replacement out on Monday if you kick up a fuss.
[Galaxy S6 General] pnr2020:
On a dark screen mine seem bright at the bottom it does not seem black more grey reminds me of screen bleed on a TV anyone else got this problem
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Dude! This is not bad at all. I had to try real hard to see it. There are worse amoleds than this.. Consider yourself lucky that it isn't bad.. I have seen worse than this.. And in comparison to this this is muchh better. Don't take your chances on replacing.. It maybe worse.. I got lucky with my unit and theres no tint on mine.. But last month both my nexus 6s were severe to worst... And this is so much better than that... There will be minor uneven color on every amoled.
[Galaxy S6 General] trenzterra:
Thanks for the advice. I guess it was because I came from an S4 that had no such issues. The strange thing is I RMAed my S4 several times for dead pixels, etc, but I never noticed screen uniformity issues on any of them (or perhaps I didn't realise there was such an issue).

For your Nexus 6s, did you manage to cope with it in the end? I fear I will keep noticing it forever
[Galaxy S6 General] :
You do have a point.. Once you know that it's there it'll bug you forever... That's why I got rid of the N6s and got a S6... I keep feeling that there's a tint on mine but there isn't.. Just because of the bad experience last month I'm scared about this phone too... Try getting yours replaced.. After all we've paid for them and we deserve what we are promised
[Galaxy S6 General] Dunams:
There's a slight pink tint on certain angles and on certain colors (mostly on whites), I didn't even notice it until reading this thread, I really should stop looking for problems as it messes with my head lol.

That's normal though, right? for an AMOLED screen to have a blueish / pinkish tint on certain angles.
[Galaxy S6 General] Funkym0nkey:
The colour shifting at angle is normal for AMOLED. That happens on all screens. What is not normal is to have uneven pink tint on the screen even you are looking straight at the display.

Yours look like regular colour shifting from what your describe.
[Galaxy S6 General] benjmiester:
I already got a crack in mine the other day. Problem is, I don't exactly know how. It wasn't a drop, that much I know for sure. I think I elbowed it in my sleep as it charges next to me in bed. Lesson learned there. All I know is one day it was fine, I peeled off my glass protector since I had a new one to install arriving the next day. Somehow between that night and the next day before work it had one hairline crack in it going from the bottom middle to the middle of the right side. Well I guess I can enjoy it with no case again as I'll have to replace it at some point now already :(. This is the first phone screen I've ever cracked or broken though since my first one in 2004 (pocketPC), so I guess I can't complain too much.
[Galaxy S6 General] cined:
Their is nothing in search that shows people with white S6 to have pink screen

...and myself I have the white S6 as well. Went through 5 replacements before I finally got one with pretty good uniformity, but still some pink tint visible on bottom of screen.

Definitely not the screen quality of my previous Note4!!! Anxiously awaiting the new Note 5....
[Galaxy S6 General] cined:
Well it seems that those with white phones have less pink
[Galaxy S6 General] Jmldsilva:
This is the best comment out there. you are total right, i belive that some have more issues than other, but in the end after we read this topic, i think we all starting to see PINK. :)

Enjoy your investement.
[Galaxy S6 General] dermotti:
Eh depends on how bad the pink is. I had some that were horrible. I would never get used to it.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jmldsilva:
yes i know and understand, i did change one time because of that issue and now i think this has pink too.
[Galaxy S6 General] demonwind:
Yeah this one is still pretty bad, I'd hate to see what the previous 3 looked like.
[Galaxy S6 General] hanano17:
I'm not seeing anything that bad, no noticeable pink and minimal green toward the bottom. Maybe the 2nd picture makes the green look worse, but its really not that bad to me. My test was the gray background, where there isn't an overtly noticeable area thats much brighter than another area. I posted pics of the first 2 I had I believe, and you can definitely see pink and brighter spots (which is from the greens I think). My 3rd looked like the pink from 2 pages back, where he has in the center, I had it at the bottom. I'm not returning this one, I think get over the small green and move forward with the phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] soapBro:
White phone here, no pink what so ever.
[Galaxy S6 General] dermotti:
Where was it made?
[Galaxy S6 General] soapBro:
How do i check?
[Galaxy S6 General] dermotti:
Mine says it on the back of the phone near the bottom in small faint text.

It also says it in the box.

You can also download "phone info samsung" from the app store and it will tell you.
[Galaxy S6 General] soapBro:
well on the back it says "SM-G920F SAMSUNG, YATELEY, GU46 6GG. UK"
[Galaxy S6 General] daffie:
That doesn't tell you anything since the same info is on the back of every S6.

Use the app...it will tell you many details.
[Galaxy S6 General] soapBro:
Alrighty, downloaded the app and it says its made in vietnam..
[Galaxy S6 General] khaltire:
Finally got a decent one after 4 replacements. Still has slight pink in the bottom right of the display, but its hardly noticable. It's the point where I can ignore it.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jonathan-H:
I returned mine yesterday to Tesco UK, and they replaced it with a new one.

Interestingly, the last one I had said on the back "Made in Korea" and had a bad pink tint on the bottom.

This one says SM-G920F Samsung Yateley, GU46 5GG UK

Made by samsung

It is made in vietnam, 28-04-2015.

This one has the tiniest pink at the bottom which is hardly noticeable at all and completely acceptable. Basically can't see it in 99% of situations so i'm chuffed. Also the earpiece volume is much much louder and clearer so i'm one happy camper.

The best Non pink I have seen so far.
[Galaxy S6 General] iamhacked:
Mine actually has a green tint at the bottom.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jmldsilva:
yellowish

Hello.

I do not have pink but in the bottom left where the contacts and dial icon are, their legend are very white saturated and sometimes i think the whites seem yellow. Someone? I compare whit the retail phones in store and see some diference. The background is the default one
[Galaxy S6 General] Pradadevil:
Just purchased a S6 today and thought I had a perfect phone. Then I noticed certain lines on the bottom and upper side of the phone. The lines are only visible against a darker, singular colour, mostly green see the pictures. Anyone else have this problem?
[Galaxy S6 General] trenzterra:
It's luck of the draw sometimes. Some screens are more yellow and some are more red.

Anyway, I have had my current S6 for a month+ now, and while in portrait mode the pink can't really be seen, in landscape I can see it quite clearly. Over the past few days, I've been doing this overnight:

- Download Display Tester

- Download Screen Equaliser

- Set a gradient with 0% transparency with green colour over the areas that do NOT appear red/pink (which means to say, you'll have a pink+green screen when the equaliser is turned on)

- Run Display Tester with the Screen Equaliser and set screen timeout to none. Set brightness to 100% and use Defective Pixel Detection and run a Black background.

- Leave it overnight

So far I've been doing it for about ~50 hours in total. I feel (maybe placebo?) that the non-pink areas are starting to blend in more with the pink areas.

Why does this work?

Well, AMOLED screens burn in. The pink areas, I suspect, is because the green LEDs on those areas are weaker, thus making it seem a little pinkish. While you can't make a green LED brighter, you can make a green LED dimmer by burning it in. AMOLEDs have a side effect of burning in (though it probably takes a LONG time for it to be clearly visible); we can use it to our advantage this time.

The net effect is that the screen will become uniformly white-pinkish, which would probably be less offensive than a non-uniform tint. The next step in this, once you get a uniform pink tint, is to show a completely red screen at 100% brightness, so the red LEDs will become dimmer. I have not reached this stage yet.

I am flying overseas for the next 11 days and am unable to test it. Part of me wants to run display tester + screen equaliser for the next 11 days straight (since I'm using another phone for travel), but I guess I'm not comfortable with taking the risk... Anyhow, I've done it for 50+ hours (around 6-7 hours every night and 8 hours for the past two mornings) and *think* I can see some improvements.
[Galaxy S6 General] BSK REDDY:
Samsung S6 has a manufacturing defect with their AMOLED Screens. There is a pink disconsolation at the bottom 1/3 rd of the screen. Many of their phones are reporting this defect.

Please be careful after purchase. They don't refund the amount and only give a replacement that too at the place of purchase.

Suppose you are on holiday and think of buying a phone in GOA and you stay in MUMBAI

. You will get replacement only in GOA. How impractical is this...????

If you are buying a mobile at another place please be careful. You will be forced to carry the defective piece to the place of purchase to get a replacement.

I have spent my whole day roaming after service centers to get a refund which they said cannot be done as they don't have a refund policy.

You are eligible for replacement only after 6 days of purchase only and you have to carry the set to place of purchase and get it replaced within 7 days of issuance of DOA (Dead on Arrival) certificate by their service center personal.

I have lost contact with the world since 3 days and i have to play my journey back to the place of purchse to get a replacement..

It's time you change your impractical policie

My third one looks okay to me. I understand it's not perfect but I almost don't see any colors deviation. It's 64gb dual-sim model with isocell sensor (which dissapoints only my mind not my eyes as I don't see much difference with my previous sony sensor).

[Galaxy S6 General] ky3bmu4:
I see some pinish in the left part and also in the top right near the front cam. Maybe I am too paranoic about it. I think yours is better than mine but now I consider returning mine xD
[Galaxy S6 General] Gqsanders:
I went to my local tmobile to complain about my screen not being uniform and having pink tint at the bottom. It's really noticeable in low light situations and I can't un-see now it's like my eyes are automatically drawn there. Anyways after several seconds of the rep looking at my screen he said he couldn't see anything ?. I feel as if he didn't try to look for the issue. So I'm stuck with the phone unless I return it and pay a restocking fee which I don't want to, and scared to send it in because I might get a refurbished phone
[Galaxy S6 General] exclaimed:
Yea, it is a vast difference compared to my first. Still am looking for a better one, might just hold out for the next note.
[Galaxy S6 General] ky3bmu4:
Can't agree more with both of you.

I am in the same situation where I've returned my third phone but since the sales rep "did not see anything" they will send it to samsung (I will need to wait 21 days for their decision) and after that I will get a new/refurb phone or money back.

Now for sure I want only one thing - to get rid of s6, to get back my money and to wait for a better phone. SGN5 will be considered only after reading alllll the XDA section for the existence of the same threads as this one :D
[Galaxy S6 General] Gqsanders:
Yes this is my 4th s6 and all had screen issues I get a new one in hope for a perfect screen but no bueno so im giving up on this phone and bad enough my G4 screen has issues as well
[Galaxy S6 General] Jonathan-H:
Mine is a lot better but still has pink issue at the bottom. Thankfully i've now accepted it's a manufacturing defect and accepted the phone is one hell of a piece of kit and decided to live with it. 99% of the time now I forget it's even there. There's no real comparison phone out there to change to.
[Galaxy S6 General] BlackSnowflake:
I also notice pink screen issues.
[Galaxy S6 General] D4rk_nVidia:

I can't understand why every new phone have display problems.

My display is perfect I think but I had 3 LG G Flex 2 with bad displays

My iphones never did. If only i could get android on an iphone...
[Galaxy S6 General] GaMeFaNaTi3:
The top half of my screen is pink and the bottom is slightly brighter and greenish. The pink is faint but i can notice it. I'm worried that I might get a worse screen though if I ask for a replacement. Carphone warehouse refused to replace it but I might go to a samsung service center. It's quite hard to take a photo of it. Can you ask to see the replacement phone at a samsung shop or they'll just take your existing phone away and give you the replacement?
[Galaxy S6 General] giony:
Hello. First phone, from Vodafone Romania, had the pink issue, not too bad, but still unacceptable for me. Since it arrived with a small scratch on the screen, I decided to try a return. After two weeks, I finally received another phone yesterday . It's also is pink, but acceptable for me. But now comes the bad part: loose button. I't something that you can't live with it and is obvious for me that a perfect(normal) S6 is actually the exception from the rule because in every store I saw an S6 had the same problems(screen, or button)

I think the rate of defect is very big for this phone. In the last 4-5 years I always bought high end samsung smartphones, and I never encountered this kind of issues.

Who reach this topic in the context of buying a S6, should think seriously if makes sense to play this lottery....

Now waiting for another phone, already arranged the second return.
[Galaxy S6 General] kv7shadow:
Hey there

Bought a Galaxy S6 black version couple of weeks ago

Not my first phone, since i had a GS2 and a GS5

I noticed that this GS6 has both pink tint at the bottom of the screen and loose button, I have a terrible luck

Worst things is that i was careless a week ago and dropped the phone, thus made scratches on the frame

And now samsung doesn't accept replacements, what should I do? :(
[Galaxy S6 General] GaMeFaNaTi3:
I've gotten used to my tint since I was worried about getting a replacement which was worse. I've also minimised it quite a lot using screen equaliser and also use screen adjuster to get rid of the warm yellowy colour of the screen :)

I have 2 Galaxy S6 actives. Both made in Korea. One is Blue Camo and one is the Gray. I got the blue by accident and grabbed a gray one so I could return the blue one but then I noticed that my lower left side of the gray one has the pink issue. The blue camo S6 is flawless. So now I don't know what to do. I don't want a blue phone but also don't want a pink screen. Its funny, if I stare at it it goes away, its when I first look at it it catches my eye immediately and I am like Ugh. It's so weird because its so slight but is eye catching. I have had every family member in my house look and pick the pink one and they can all see it. This sucks.

Thinking of just returning both and keeping my Note 4. It's perfect but its size is wearing on me.
