Samsung Galaxy S6 edge has this strange 8-bit color display issue

The Galaxy S6 edge is an amazing device, and it’s the only Samsung smartphone that has impressed me so much other than a Galaxy Note. The design is exquisite, the software is finally as fast and good-looking as it should be in this day and age, and the camera can take some amazing pictures in pretty much all lighting conditions.

But that dual curved display means the S6 edge is more of an experiment than something mainstream, and it also means that the phone is expected to be more prone to hardware issues than the standard Galaxy S6. The viewing experience on the S6 edge is rather phenomenal, but in the last two weeks my phone has exhibited an issue where the display enters into an 8-bit color mode of sorts.

Basically, everything on the screen starts looking like a watercolor painting. It has only happened twice in around two weeks, and I’m not sure if it’s something that has affected other users’ devices as well. Fixing the issue is only possible with a reboot, though even when the color on the screen goes bad, the phone continues to operate normally otherwise. I haven’t really found a reason for why this happens, and as a result I haven’t been able to capture it in pictures. Considering a reboot fixes it, it’s possible the issue is a software one instead of hardware, especially since I’ve never dropped my S6 edge or treated it carelessly.

We’ve reached out to Samsung for information on the matter, and we will be sure to share anything we learn. Has this happened on your Galaxy S6 edge, or maybe even the standard Galaxy S6? Let us know in the comments below, and be sure you contact your local Samsung support if you come across any mysterious behavior on your device.
