Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Red‑Screen Issue Fixed by Software Update

Samsung Electronics confirmed that the red tint appearing in the central area of the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s display is caused by a software calibration error, not a hardware defect. The company announced a free software‑based screen recalibration that can be performed at any authorized Samsung service center, with same‑day completion and no warranty restrictions. In parallel, Samsung is preparing an over‑the‑air (OTA) software update to correct the issue remotely; the exact release date has not been set but is expected to be included in an upcoming security patch, likely in August. Affected users in South Korea have been notified through the Samsung Members app, and the fix will be rolled out globally once ready.
