OnePlus is no stranger to display issues with its phones, and it seems a new one has crept up with its latestOnePlus 8 Pro.

Some users have taken to Reddit and the popularOnePlus forumsto voice their concern over screen tech issues they’ve discovered.

Some are claiming a green tint appears on a part of the display when the phone is in dim-light settings. From some of the posted images, the tint looks quite noticeable.

If it sounds familiar, some users have also reported a similar issue with theSamsung Galaxy S20 Ultrarecently after an April 2020 software update.

OnePlus does source its displays fromSamsung, so the two issues might be related and could have a common fix. It isn’t completely confirmed if this issue is just a software anomaly, but buyers of a brand new premium device would certainly hope so.

Some users have pointed out that switching on DC Dimming decreases the effect of the tint, while others say it crushes (where darker parts of the display no longer show detail or texture) the black areas.

The company has acknowledged the issue andrespondedto users in a statement. It says, “OnePlus values user feedback and is committed to delivering the best smartphone experience.

If not, it is possible that it is a hardware problem. If that’s the case, it is also possible that a brand new OnePlus 8 Pro could have the same issue. We’ll be sure to update this story when we hear more from OnePlus.
