Samsung is one of the leading manufacturers of AMOLED displays for smartphones and consumables, including displays for Apple iPhone 11 Pro or OnePlus 8 Pro. Therefore, it is particularly annoying now that the current update of Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra will cause serious problems on the screen.

As Sammobile reported, because after updating under certain conditions, the color of the display is very green. This phenomenon is especially noticeable when you use the display mode of 120 Hertz [Hz] or 96 Hz. First, you can clearly see whether the display brightness is further reduced. Then, as shown in the image above, even dark black areas will glow bright green.

Before Samsung resolves the error through subsequent updates, at least a small smear will help.
