Samsung phones are not spared from problems, particularly for the new releases. And the Samsung Galaxy S20 series were not spared from glitches. The good news is that Samsung keeps track of these and address them in a similar way that others are doing. It comes in the form of patches, updates that are strongly recommended to make sure that a device performs accordingly.
Sadly, these updates are not spared from possible glitches or creating more problems for device owners. Like in the case of the Samsung Galaxy S20 series, the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra ended up having more woes than providing owners a better way to enjoy their high-end phones.
The patch, known as software version G988xXXU1ATCT, was pulled out by Samsung after it left customers something to worry about. The most glaring is the green tint that occurs when the refresh rate option is enabled. The problem happens when Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra owners set the refresh rates higher than 60 Hz and when the brightness level is lowered to 30 percent.
According to Sam Mobile, this has occurred on Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra phones running on an Exynos 990 processor. Though Samsung is working on a fix, most are advised to keep refresh rates locked at 60 Hz to avoid dealing with the green tint issue. There was no date mentioned as to when the fix would be released.
However, the green tint display plaguing the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra is not the only problem owners are facing. Super-fast charging has also become slower compared to the normal manner, another problem that the patch left for some owners. A fix for both is currently being worked on and all most can do for now is wait.
On the bright side, the patch worked well with the Samsung Galaxy S20 and the Samsung Galaxy S20 Pro. The patch for both phones is still available and there have been no reports of problems as of this writing.
The case of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra is a disappointing development considering most consumers who got it set high expectations. The high-end phone was touted to have a 120 Hz refresh rate, one of the chief reasons why some folks bought it for a cool $1,400. Another flaw that needs addressing is the slow camera autofocus of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. It remains to be seen if this will be fixed in the next update, Engadget reported.
