Uhmm...yea..look at all those problems...all.. 2 of those problems. Dqa and redscreen, both have patches already.

The red screen issue isn't fixed with the patch. Samsung basically just paints over it and it will re-appear in a variety of circumstances (e.g. by enabling the blue light filter)

One was a patch (DQA), the other is hardware. I had an S8 with the red tint and exchanged for one that doesn't have that at all. If it was software, then everyone would have this issue. Do a little more research here. The patch isn't working for everyone. Plus, there are bootloop issues as well. Again, read up.

Hey, OP, just wanted to let you know I was on the fence just like you are and I decided to go for it yesterday. DO IT. This phone is honestly beautiful in every way possible. And just do what I did, check for the red tint while you're setting it up in-store. I didn't see anything wrong with mine and I just love it. No reboot issues so far either. I don't think you'd regret it :)

I was planning on getting this phone. But it seems so many are having issues with their phone. So how many of you are having no issues with their phone?

I don't have any issues that aren't design flaws in the phone.

Do yourself a favor and get an S7 Edge. They're cheaper now and they're better than the S8. Sad but true.

I got my phone (S8+)on April 20 and have had absolutely no problems with it. No red tint, no problem with the 256 GB micro SD card, no problems at all. Battery drainage almost non-existent. My S6 would be fully charged when I went to bed and when I awoke the next morning it would be down to 80 - 85% just sitting on the night stand. My S8+ only drains to 98%. This is the best smartphone I have ever owned. No regrets at all.

No issues at all with my S8+ on T-Mobile. Only thing I wish they did was release this phone much much sooner, since I was on a loaner phone (Samsung On5) when I switched from Sprint.
But that's my problem. Lol! 😁
