Common Samsung S8 Problems
There’s no doubt that indeed the Samsung S8 has a lot to offer as far as features go. But even with all these great attributes, it will not be a surprise to find a few issues here and there.
If you are experiencing problems with your S8, you can either decide to have the issues fixed at an authorized repair service or do it yourself.
Screen Issues
Screen issues are very common in many smartphones and the Samsung s8 is not an exception. The 5.8-inch touchscreen display is sensitive and it’s therefore susceptible to damage.
Here are some of the common screen issues you’d get with the phone:
- Red Tint on the Display – In this case, a red tint forms across the screen from left to right. This is a generic problem and if you have a warranty, you can get a replacement anytime.
- Unresponsive screen – The screen simply hangs and nothing happens. In some cases the screen may also go blank but it’s very rare with the Samsung S8.
- Damaged screen – Although Samsung did a great job of building a stronger more durable display, it’s still not 100% damage proof. The Samsung S8 screen can be broken or scratched through falling and normal wear and tear.
Possible solutions
Screen issues are very delicate and it would be nice to have the phone checked by an expert at authorized third-party repair centers or the Samsung Service Center. Screen replacements at the Samsung Service Center will cost about $433.
Wireless Charging Not Working
Wireless charging is indeed a big feature for the Samsung S8 but some users note that sometimes the feature may pause or stop working all together. In some cases, even when the wireless charging feature works, the phone seems to charge very slowly and it overheats. If you are experiencing this issue, you can try to remove the case and see if things get better. You can also try to change the wall charger of your third-party wireless charger.
Samsung S8 Camera Problems

Some signs of camera damage may include blurred images, no image at all, camera shows a blank screen or makes flashes of green and purple. If your camera is not working properly, it should be checked.
Battery Issues
The Samsung S8 comes with a 3000 mAh battery. The battery can be charged directly through the wall charger or through the wireless charger system. If the battery is not charging it could mean either there’s an issue with the charger or with the battery. As a quick fix, try changing the charger and the wall socket to see if there are any changes. If you are using a third-party wireless charger you should have it replaced too.
