Display Red tint issue on my Rog 2

I recently received the Rog 2 Indian unit, and while tinkering with the brightness I found something weird, that is if I set the brightness from 0-50% the dark grey Colors (like the ones used in google apps for dark mode, and the dark grey color used in the notification bar of the Rog if the system theme is set to dark)
The dark grey Colors at lower brightness (i.e from 0-50%) seems to be reddish.
Below I have attached two pics, take of the Rog 2.

The app used was inshorts (in its dark mode) the one with dark grey color is the real color of the app seen above 50% brightness and the other reddish tint is seen from 0% brightness.
P.s it's not the wallpaper or any specific app it happens with any wallpaper, any app which uses the dark grey color(like google photos, Goole play store dark etc.)  and it can be seen at lower brightness. The thing was very hard to click on camera but I still clicked it.

It's something similar to the S8 red tint and the pixel blue tint.
Yes, in the Rog telegram group I did find another person who has the same issue and hence it seems like a fault from Asus.
Also I tried reaching Asus but as usual they aren't replying.

I will post picture tomorrow. Red tint has been reduced to a great extent but while using some apps like skype the red tint is visible in navigation bar. Hope asus will fix it completely.

I don't think it can be a 100% fixed because this is the nature of Amoled and it is quite hard to ensure 100% consistency during manufacturing process. Some of us may not be experiencing much of the red tint...some of us might...Each unit of Amoled display is different even if they come off the same assembly line.
The only thing Asus can do is to try and manage the colors better with some tweaks..
Anyways I hope the next ROG Phone will make use of a IPS panel instead of Amoled, the colors won't be so vibrant with a IPS. It is a gaming phone so it does not need that much color if you ask me...

I most likely would not have bought this phone if it did not have an amoled panel.

Hi, I have noticed when i pull the camera tab on the WhatsApp, the red tint totally disappears for some reason. I believe its related to software otherwise it would never go away like this.

When we go to camera mode screen display rate changes to 60Hz, try that on 60Hz, you won't notice any difference.
