Samsung appears to have pulled off most of what they were hoping for with the launch of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ this spring. The devices have been noted for nudging smartphone design in a slightly new direction with the sleek look and near bezel-less face and consumer interest has been high. The launch has not been without some smaller hiccups though. One issue that popped up almost as soon as some users got their devices were reports of screens with too much red tint to them. Another issue, that appears to be confined to the Korean market, are some issues with Wi-Fi connections. Already the manufacturer is readying a pair of updates to address these issues.
In reference to the red tint issue with the screens, Samsung indicates the problem is not a defective screen or something similar. Instead, the problem lies with their own attempts to fine tune the display's characteristics. To combat this, the update being prepared will give users more ability to adjust the display themselves to get rid of the red tint.
Samsung likewise says the Wi-Fi problems are not a defect either. Although it is not clear exactly what the problem may be, it appears to be a simple enough fix that a quick software update can take care of the problem.
Have you experienced any of these issues with a new Galaxy S8 device or perhaps some other problem?

I’ve had none of these issues with mine yet.
The faster they come out with these new phones competing with one another, the more problems and hiccups they seem to have. I think it’s just lack of taking time to think and do the work right. Hell, this crap just started the last 3 to 4 years with all these malfunctioning phones upon release. Money hungry and depending on the people to just buy quick and not know things about the internals of the phone is the problem. The looks catch the eyes and consumers buy. Good camera and consumers buy. Quality of the product should always come first
