 "Samsung rolls out red tint fix for Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+ in India")
Beset by red tint on display and random restarts, the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ units faced initial hiccups after witnessing great reception soon after the launch. Addressing the same issue, Samsung has started rolling out software upgrade in India.
To download the latest software upgrade, go to the phone settings and click on the software update option. The software update is 426 MB in size and is being currently rolled out for Indian units.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are the flagship smartphones launched to offset the infamous Galaxy Note 7 debacle. Prior to the Note 7 crisis, Samsung commanded around 50-55 per cent share in the premium smartphone market in India. The share reduced to 17 per cent after Note 7 crisis.
