Galaxy S8 and S8+ update to fix red tint issue is now rolling out in India and Europe

Samsung’s OTA update to fix the Galaxy S8 red tint is now live in two markets.

Samsung is now rolling out an OTA update that fixes the red tint issue on the Galaxy S8 and S8+. The update kicked off in Korea last week, and is now available for Indian and European units. The fix is going out to S8 and S8+ units in the UK, Germany, and Turkey, and should be rolling out to additional countries in the region shortly.

The phone itself isn’t going on sale until May 5 in India, but Samsung is kicking off deliveries a few days earlier for customers that have pre-ordered the device. With over 80,000 bookings, Samsung is seeing a lot of interest in its flagships from the subcontinent.

The update comes in at 426.7MB, and alongside the display calibration to fix the reddish tint noticed by a few customers using the S8 and S8+, it includes the usual stability and bug fixes.

Update: Added details for the OTA rollout in European markets.
