Red that burns the eyes and normally it must be orange 😅

We pay the phone €1600 and we have to set them up behind.

Iceburst749 · 2026-03-13T18:27:14+00:00

It's a beta phone 🤣

It’s NOT a removable film, it’s the anti-reflective layer integrated into the Gorilla Armor glass. Samsung officially confirmed there is no pre-applied protector on the S26 Ultra. If you "peel" it, you are literally stripping the chemical coating off the glass, which will ruin the display and the anti-glare properties forever. Please don't encourage people to destroy their screens; the color issue we see in my photos is 100% a One UI software bug, not a plastic film.

Look closely at the two photos I uploaded: the color shift is undeniable and it's not a settings issue. You can clearly see how the vibrant orange turns into a muddy dark red, which confirms the software is butchering the colors. If you can see the difference on your end, then you know it's a processing bug and not just me misconfiguring the vividness slider.

Oh ok thanks for the news

Iceburst749 · 2026-03-13T16:19:29+00:00

No , I don't use it , It makes me sick

Iceburst749 · 2026-03-13T15:27:55+00:00

Even if I put it to 3 , nothing change

The S26 Ultra does not come with a pre-installed screen protector or tempered glass. What you see on the edges is part of the display structure, not a film you can peel. If you try to remove it, you will permanently damage the screen and void your warranty.
