Earlier this month, OnePlus launched its new devices: the OnePlus 8 and the OnePlus 8 Pro. As customers begin to receive their pre-ordered OnePlus 8 Pro units, some of them have faced annoying issues such as green tint and crushed blacks with their screens.
These issues came to the fore when multiple people pointed them out on Reddit and the OnePlus Forum. One of the chief complaints is a green tint across the screen when you look at it in dark conditions.
