in the UK, you should now be able to grab the software update that fixes the red tint on the phone’s display. Samsung is rolling out an 426 MB update with build numbers G950FOXM1AQDG and G955FOXM1AQDG respectively;

, this one is pretty big as well, so either the red tint fix requires lots of changes or there are a few other improvements bundled in the update.

Remember that the update might not fully fix the issue for you on the default display mode, so you might have to go into the Settings » Display » Screen mode menu, set display mode to Adaptive, and the full screen color balance to cool. Our units also continue to suffer from a greenish hue at the top and bottom edges of the screen even after adjusting color balance on the screen edges, but Samsung will hopefully offer a fix in a future update.

To download the update right away, head into the Settings » Software update menu. You can always wait for it to show up on its own, but that would only keep you from enjoying the best viewing experience for longer. As for carrier models, the update should be seeing a release sometime in the coming days, although it’s impossible to pinpoint an exact date.
