Samsung Galaxy S II Screen Issues
Much ado has been made about the Galaxy S II which has been experiencing record sales and is among the most wanted phones this summer. After using the phone, it is not hard to see why as the phone sports liquid smooth navigation, scrolling and usability. But the phone’s most outstanding feature (other than the dual-core processor) is the Super AMOLED Plus screen that is featured in a 4.3 casing (screen size).
That said, there have been a trickle of complaints involving the Galaxy S II screen which some have pointed features a yellowish tint which no doubt would be a manufacturing problem if these reports are true.
Over at XDA Developers forum, a member named Erethnor has made a thread about the problem which is titled “Display problem/yellowish left side.” Since the thread has been made, more than a few members have commented on the thread expressing the same issue. As it would appear, there is a yellowish hint along the left side of the screen (1/3 of the entire screen). According to said reports, the yellow tint is not always visible and is mainly noticeable when the brightness has been set to low. Those affected by the issue claim that the discoloration is most noticeable when there is white text on a dark background.
This is not the first time that a device has been plagued by screen issues. Most noticeably was Apple’s iPad 2 which had light leakage back in March. Needless to say that did not affect the sales of the iPad 2 so it’s safe to say as long as Samsung identifies the problem and fixes it, it should not be a huge deal.
