Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra users are faced with an unexpected color change on the screens of their devices. Some users report that a red tint appears across the screen, while others report that a pink rectangle appears in the middle of the screen.

It is not clear at this time how common this condition is. Some of the complaints began to appear shortly after the device was launched, that is, in March.

Samsung investigated the issue

According to reports shared on social media platforms, the red color change develops gradually on some devices after several months of use. Some users state that they have encountered a similar situation with the display models in stores.

Samsung confirmed that it was aware of the situation in its statement regarding the issue. The company announced on Monday that it was investigating the issue internally to determine the cause of the problem.

The exact reason for this color change is currently unknown. Some guesses suggest that the problem may be caused by screen burn-in or environmental factors.

Privacy Display feature attracts suspicion

Galaxy S26 Ultra is Samsung’s only smartphone currently on the market with the Privacy Display feature. This feature aims to provide a clear image to the user while preventing the screen from being viewed from the side.

Some users have previously experienced complaints such as eye fatigue, headache, nausea and dizziness when using this feature. For this reason, some users think that the problem of redness on the screens may be related to Privacy Display technology.

The source of the problem remains unclear until Samsung makes an official statement on the issue. It is expected that the technical details of the situation will become clear when the company’s investigations are completed.
