I got my Red Magic 8 Pro EU 256gb 12gb today.
While I was testing it I noticed the selfie camera display shows up in alot of situations, like on grey situations the display turns green at low and max brightness.
Anyone with the same problem?

Hi!
you reach out to the manufacturer or retailer to report the issue and see if it can be resolved. If the device is still under warranty, they may be able to repair or replace it for you.

Same issue here, but looks more like a software issue to me.
When you touch the screen, the camera overlaying part flickers and settles after a second to the color it should have. Perhaps they just need to speed up this process.
If on the other hand you mean a permanent mismatch, they just need to recalibrate.
Either way it is fixable by just software.

Okay i see, yours is quite more visible than mine. Mine is only really visible in dark gray background, but does not have this green tone to it.

Mine also has it although it's just visible when the brightness is from 0 to 15, and I think it's perfectly normal.

Green tint is more visible when the display is set to 120hz, and lightens or "flickers" when idle because it switches to 60hz to lessen power consumption.

The grint tint is more visible on higher refresh rate. It "flickers" because once the display is idle, it switches to 60hz to save battery.

I am starting to be glad that I missed the first shipment... as days pass by more and more issues come up with this phone.

First this display issue that the camera is visible and in another thread overheating issue.

Reviewers said that the camera is not visible during normal usage and only in really heavy sunligh from the side and they showed 97% stability in 3DMark.... both have been disproved by users feedback here on XDA.

Perhaps they're using it with high brightness that's why they did not notice it. Well, I'm hoping it's not a factory defect or whatnot. Haha.

My camera is only visible on very low brightness levels, and I also haven't noticed any overheating problem. The only pet peeve I have about it is, that there's no global audio equalizer, only in game space. And that one disables once you put the phone in standby.

That is disappointing, it should not be visible at all, expesially not in low lit enviroment.

Same issues, combined with weird brightness flicker and other software issues... pretty disappointed, hopefully they will be able to fix those issues... coz otherwise phone is pretty good, software is garbage tho

Yeah. I've also sent them an email regarding this, waiting for their reply. I hope it's just a software defect, and seems that a lot of users experience this.

    According to them it's normal and not an "Issue"!!!

    To be honest its still 10 Bajillion Times better then having a Stupid Hole Punch!!!!!
    Most of the time you can't see it (on videos you can't see it at all), only on grayish screen and even then its really hard to tell if you aren't looking.

    Well, for day-to-day use, it is not noticeable, it is better than having the camera visible...
