The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ were released to the worldwide market last Friday, with consumers now receiving their pre-ordered devices or buying them from carrier and retail stores. Mass smartphone production often brings certain issues that affect random samples of users, and that seems to be the case with Samsung’s newest smartphones as well.

The Korean giant has already issued its first update for the new devices that changed icon notifications, transformed the camera app icon, and added more helpful instructions for its iris scanner. Now, a second update is said to roll out that is to fix two issues: a Red tint display problem and Wi-Fi connectivity.

Samsung has implemented a “Deep Red” OLED display into the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ for the first time, as opposed to a standard RGB panel, which has resulted in some users complaining about Red tint display issues. In response to grievances, Samsung will push forward with an update to help correct the issue and give users more control over their resolution and screen appearance. Samsung has told Wall Street Journal that there’s no defect with its Red OLED panels, and panel expert DisplayMate agreed in its evaluation of the Galaxy S8’s Red OLED display. If this is the case, then a software update should rectify the issue for many users.

Alongside of the Red tint display issues, Samsung will also use the update to push a Wi-Fi connectivity fix for Korean Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ units. Sales have hit a record high in Samsung’s home country, and the company recently announced that pre-orders overall were 30 percent higher than the amount recieved of last year’s Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. Therefore, the company wants to be sure that it satisfies everyone, especially given the event that took place last year.
