This is a quotation from a well-known android forum. The problem concerns the display quality. IT IS NOT SOFTWARE RELATED. “Articles are as inaccurate as they could be:
They are talking about tint in apps – yes, because One UI has black now instead of dark, and some apps have dark gray backgrounds/parts.
It has nothing to do with apps or Exynos or firmware updates. They are just really spreading uninformed nonsense.
To test your display, do this:
– Get a 5% gray image
– display it fullscreen on the device
– set brightness to around 30% and check.
