Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra owners are literally seeing red as they report a strange tint on their screens

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Few phones are able to launch without users reporting some kind of significant problem. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is no exception, and this time some users have started reporting that the screens are slowly turning red. I guess that's one way to try and tone down the blue light emissions, but it's hardly ideal for a phone that costs $1,300.

Some of these reports date back as far as March, with multiple Reddit users noticing that the S26 Ultra's red coloring is more washed out than it should be — even with the vivid setting turned on and setting the screen to maximum resolution. More recently those reports have switched gears, noting that screens have been slowly developing pink and red tints.
