If the software update fails to remove the red hue, Samsung will replace the devices that have been affected by new phones, according to the same publication.
The site from South Korea spoke to several experts about what can cause the red tint on the screens of the new smartphones.
Some have reported that a software update could fix the imbalance Colour, but most were skeptical and doubted that a software update would be a viable solution, implying that the cause might be directly related to the hardware.
Meanwhile, Samsung has started shipping the new Galaxy S8 to global markets, meaning we'll soon know exactly how prevalent the red hue is and whether it could be fixed with a simple tweak to software.
