Galaxy S8 and S8+ get update in India with display color balance fix

The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are yet to go on sale in the Indian market, but Samsung is taking a preemptive measure and is already rolling out an update in the country for fixing the display's red tint issue. The update is surprisingly large in size for one that only optimizes the display's color tone, and one can only hope that there are performance enhancements and other improvements hidden in the update.

The red tint hasn't completely gone away on our review units, but setting the display's color balance to cool takes away the reddish hue (it's still there compared to our S7 edge, but not as bad). The new firmware version is XXU1AQDG and the update is available over the air for both the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. This is the second update for the devices in India; the first became available right after we fired up our review units. You'll see these updates available on your S8 or S8+ once you've set it up.
