Galaxy S8 red tint fixing update is rolling out

-


While none have exploded yet, Samsung's Galaxy S8 and S8+ haven't been 100% issue-free since they were released last week. Many people have reported a "red tint" being present on their handsets' screens, and the Korean company has already promised to put out a software update fixing that. The self-imposed time frame was "before the end of this month", and it looks like Samsung kept its word.

The much anticipated update is now in the process of rolling out to Galaxy S8 and S8+ units sold in the company's home market of South Korea. For the S8, the new firmware version is G950NKSU1AQDG, while the S8+ gets G955NKSU1AQDG.


For now the update hasn't been spotted in other markets, but we assume it's going to spread across the world in the following days. It brings an additional setting in Adaptive Display screen mode, letting you adjust the full screen color balance as you see fit.

In the Screen mode menu a new Screen edge color balance option can now be found, and you can use this to adjust the colors at the edges in order to change the appearance of white tones.

Samsung has apparently promised to replace affected devices if their owners aren't satisfied with their colors after applying this update. Unfortunately the full screen color balance adjustment only works in Adaptive Display mode, so if you want a calibrated setting and the red tint gone, it looks like you're out of luck - so you may want to take advantage of that 'free replacement' promise from Samsung.

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used. Google Contacts 1.5 is currently rolling out to all users, so it should land on your

LG Display used CES 2018 in Las Vegas to officially unveil its new OLED displays - one of them being a 65-inch 4K flexible screen that can be rolled like a newspaper. The other is an 88” 8K OLED panel that we told you about last week. The flexibility of the 65” OLED display makes it easier to transport or store in the corner. Its small size allows for better space utilization, meaning you can take the TV anytime, anywhere and “enjoy bright, high-resolution content”. LG Display will also showcase its latest upgrades of the IPS technology. The panels now have IPS nano-color, “which expresses rich colors using nanoscale high-color reproduction particles, and IPS technology, which increases the transmittance and reduces the intensity of light reflected on the panel.”, said the company in a press release.
