Last month, Samsung acknowledged reports that the Galaxy S26 Ultra display can have a red tint under certain conditions and promised a fix for it – the company blamed it on a software issue, not a hardware one. Said fix is coming by the end of the month, according to Samsung’s customer support team in Korea.
One user on the Samsung Community forum posted a screenshot of a conversation with support, which claims that the fix is currently being evaluated by the verification department.

The reddish tint was caused by poor calibration values for the display when the phone is in bright ambient conditions. The software fix will bring better calibration.
This software should be released in the coming days – it’s scheduled to be delivered by the next Over The Air (OTA) firmware, which is supposed to roll out this month.
Another user also contacted support and got a longer, but less promising reply:

This reply confirms that it is indeed a calibration issue and says that it can be fixed at a Samsung service center – and that the company is working on a software fix, but it makes no promises as to when this fix may be released.
