OnePlus display issue: How to fix the green tint problem on your OnePlus smartphone

Have you started to notice a faint green tint appearing unevenly across your OnePlus phone display, especially at lower brightness settings? If so, then it’s probably not your imagination. One of the hallmarks of a superior smartphone experience is a display that faithfully reproduces colors. However, recently a growing concern plaguing a lot of OnePlus users has been the presence of a green tint on their AMOLED displays, particularly noticeable at lower brightness levels.

While not universal, it can certainly be a source of frustration. The notorious green tint usually appears as a greenish haze, especially at low brightness levels and occurs when a particular hue dominates the smartphone’s AMOLED display, washing out the intended colors and creating an unpleasant viewing experience. In this guide, we’ll explore the potential causes as well as solutions to help you troubleshoot and fix the green tint issue (and any other subsequent screen problems) on your OnePlus device. 

How to fix the OnePlus green tint display issue

Screen tinting occurs when the colors on your display aren’t uniform, and it can happen due to variations in the manufacturing process. OLED displays, like those commonly used in high-end smartphones including OnePlus devices, rely on Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) that generate their own light. To create colors, red, green, and blue subpixels work together within each pixel. 

Imperfections during manufacturing or uneven aging over time can cause these subpixels to degrade at different rates, disrupting the intended color balance. This imbalance can develop as a green tint, especially since blue subpixels often degrade faster than red and green ones, and is one of the leading reasons why some OnePlus users might experience a greenish cast on their displays.

While a green tint often points to a hardware issue, it can sometimes be addressed through software adjustments. Here are a few things you can do to fix it:

1. Adjust Color Mode

Some OnePlus phones offer different color profiles. Go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Screen Colour Mode and explore options like Vivid or Natural for a display balance that reduces the green tint for you. 

2. Enable Night Mode

While not a permanent solution, Night Mode reduces blue light emission, which can sometimes make the green tint less noticeable. Look for Night Mode in Quick Settings or under Display Settings.

3. Check for software updates

Sometimes new updates might include fixes for display issues. Check for software updates in your Settings > About Device. 

4. Contact OnePlus support

If the green tint persists, especially if it’s severe, it’s likely a hardware issue. Consider contacting OnePlus support for a diagnosis and potential display replacement, especially if your device is under warranty.

And that’s how you can potentially troubleshoot and fix a green tint on your OnePlus phone! If none of these solutions work, it’s best to consult a professional for further diagnosis and repair.
