The screens of the new Samsung Galaxy Note phones turn green

Following the Galaxy S20 Ultra Fiasco, Note20 Ultra users will experience greening under certain conditions. The problem is inconvenient, especially with such expensive devices, but it is probably relatively easy to fix.

It’s as if only today we could report earlier this year that Samsung’s new poisonous smartphone, the top-end Galaxy S20 Ultra, takes on a strange shade of green under certain conditions, practically distorting the picture entirely. It’s no wonder there was a lot of fear about a device assembled from such expensive parts, as customers could rightly believe that Samsung wanted to save money and chose a poor-quality screen.

Eventually the issue was resolved then, but we didn’t have to wait long for it to come back – now the Note 20 Ultra display has these issues.

Also, not only is the high-end smartphone affected, but the new Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7 + are producing the same symptoms. All this seems to complicate the situation, because until now it has been possible to think that the problem may be in one of the components and controls of the AMOLED screens, but the simple Tab S7 does not have one, but a traditional LCD screen.

The problem reportedly occurs when the screen brightness drops below a certain level, and since users generally leave the brightness setting automatically, sometimes it is inevitable that they will run into an error, in which case, normally mentioning the brightness manually will solve the problem. The color reproduction of OLED displays is not perfect anyway with a certain brightness anyway, but as we wrote above, the current problem also affects the tablet with an LCD screen.

Furthermore, customers facing greening have even reported that this only occurs when 120Hz image refresh is enabled.

Samsung’s new phone can basically control the image update by itself, so the problem may be relatively rare, because the low brightness and the 120Hz image update often do not occur at the same time.

However, the good news is that, as with the Galaxy S20 Ultra, the Note 20 Ultra is unlikely to be a hardware issue, so the greening can be fixed with a software update.

The software issue is likely only because it was previously only available on devices with Exynos CPUs (and their controllers), whereas devices with the same screen but with a Snapdragon processor had it all. Now, however, both types of processors are affected by the problem.

Also, it’s worth noting that not only has Samsung been struggling with similar issues lately, but similar issues have been seen with the OnePlus 8 Pro and the cheaper OnePlus Nord, but in recent months, most manufacturers have been noticed some form of greening.

The new foldable phone will be unveiled in a few days.

But to bring better news, Samsung also officially announced that it will remove the cover from the Galaxy Z Fold2 on September 1. As previously reported, the “Z” is still the indication for folding phones, however, in spirit, this device can be considered a continuation of the traditional Fold, with the same screen design and opening direction.

This time, Samsung has given the event a completely clear name: Galaxy Z Fold2: Unpacked Part 2, so it doesn’t hide which device will be the focus.

The most important information about this was already revealed at the recent Unpacked event. The front panel camera ultimately doesn’t live in an ugly notch, but rather a small, inconspicuous hole, and the front display now fills almost the entire front panel and extends 6.2 inches, so when folded, it actually works like a Full-fledged smartphone, unlike the funny one of the predecessor. with its small and lame front screen.

When opened inside, we get a 7.2-inch 120Hz AMOLED screen, and a completely redesigned opening mechanism, as well as a layer that protects the internal screen, so Samsung promises that in practice, the device will be much more durable than its predecessor. This interface, by the way, is also the UTG that is used in the Z Flip, which in vain is called flexible glass, it is not really that, but since it seems to work well, it is not that important.
