We’ve received a handful of tips from frustrated Nexus S owners claiming that the recently released Android 2.3.3 update has an unwelcome side effect, screen discoloration. Reports indicate that after the Gingerbread update, the Super AMOLED screen on the Nexus S becomes yellowish and washed out. We’re not sure if Google messed with Android’s color settings, but the difference — as you can see from the picture above — is quite noticeable. Any Nexus S owners out there seeing the same thing?

    Samsung sucks. Ever since TouchWiz Samsung has gone downhill. I will never own another Samsung Cell Phone.

    This IS Google’s beta phone. If you don’t want to be a guinea pig, buy a carrier branded handset. Alternatively, root it and I’m sure you’ll be able to get the screen settings back to “normal”.

    These two phones are definitely not the same. How come one has a bigger screen? and why does the buttons on the bottom differ? this is BS. just another post trying to degrade android software.

    The picture isn’t really relevant at ALL since those are two totally different phones in the shot. They’re not even both Galaxy S phones, or both SAMOLED!

    BGR, you had to know that many wouldn’t realize this. I’m sure you guys have the resources to find a picture of two Nexus S side by side with different versions of Android.

    Disappointed.

    Are those even the same phones? Either the one on the right is closer or it’s not even the same phone which means somebody got played. I haven’t seen this reported on XDA at all and they’d be the first to mention it.

    The biggest thing I noticed is you are comparing two different phones, expecting the same hues out of both..

    And in the dark, without verifying system settings are the same.. You guys and your top notch detective work..

    Report anything that comes through your emails..
