      User feedback indicates that the patch has not resolved the issue for all users and may even introduce new display problems for some.

      Samsung’s software solution for the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s red tint issue began rolling out last week, but it appears to be ineffective for some users and may be causing additional display anomalies.

      Some Galaxy S26 Ultra owners still experience red tinting.

      Samsung previously revealed that the tint issue was due to a calibration problem rather than a hardware fault. The company advised users to either visit a local service center for display calibration or wait for an over-the-air update. That update was released last week, but it hasn't fixed the problem for everyone.

      According to Newsway, some users report that the red tint continues after the update, while others have noticed a tint along the screen edges. Additionally, a few users who sought calibration at a service center have reported new issues, such as colored spots near the edges and reddening at the top and bottom.

      What Samsung suggests for affected users

      Samsung recommends that those still experiencing the red tint disable display options like Adaptive color tone, Color correction, Color filter, Extra dim, and Eye comfort shield to see if that resolves the issue. If the tint remains, the company advises users to visit a service center for further assessment and assistance.

      This situation has put many early adopters in a tough spot. Initially, when the complaints arose, Samsung assured customers that the issue would be addressed with a software update, eliminating the need for panel replacements. However, recent reports from users indicate that software fixes may not suffice for all affected devices.

      Samsung has not publicly addressed the new wave of complaints following the update and has not disclosed how many units are impacted overall. Currently, owners who still face the red tint after applying the patch have limited options, either visiting an authorized service center or waiting for an additional update.

      Samsung may provide the Galaxy S27 and S27+ with a long-awaited zoom upgrade.

      The Galaxy S27 and S27+ could feature the same 3x telephoto sensor rumored for the Galaxy S27 Pro.

      Samsung might be looking to standardize the zoom camera across the Galaxy S27, S27+, and S27 Pro, while maintaining a distinct telephoto setup for the Ultra model. According to the tipster @phonefuturist, the Galaxy S27 and S27+ are being tested with a 3x telephoto system similar to that of the Galaxy S27 Pro. This aligns with a previous report from ETNews, which suggested a 12MP 3x telephoto camera for the Pro, although the latest leak does not confirm if it refers to that specific sensor.

      Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra might exchange 5x zoom for a significantly larger telephoto sensor.

      Switching from 5x to 4x zoom could be beneficial if it comes with a larger sensor.

      Smartphone manufacturers are facing pressure to control prices amid rising RAM and storage costs, but Samsung does not seem to be playing it safe with the Galaxy S27 Ultra. Leaks already indicate a significant redesign, and Samsung is reportedly testing batteries ranging from 5,700mAh to 6,000mAh after using a 5,000mAh battery for several years. The company is also believed to be removing the 10MP 3x telephoto camera, which has historically been one of the weaker components of the Ultra’s camera system.

      Huawei’s new Mate XT 2, a competitor to the Galaxy Z TriFold, features a double-fold design, offers up to 2TB of storage, and boasts an attractive purple finish.

      Huawei has improved the design of the Mate XT 2, making it more robust and aesthetically pleasing.

      Although Samsung’s Galaxy Z TriFold may have already been pulled from stores, the competition in the tri-fold phone market remains fierce. Huawei has begun taking reservations in China for the Mate XT 2, ahead of its full launch on September 7. Pricing details are still unclear, but Huawei has unveiled its color options, memory configurations, and a significant redesign that could enhance practicality compared to earlier models. In addition to improving durability, the phone’s design is visually striking, with Huawei offering it in Dark Black, Pure White, and Jin Purple. The black and white variants feature gold-colored frames, while the purple edition is particularly eye-catching. The Mate XT 2 continues the trend of premium design in Huawei’s lineup.
