In a review posted on Monday, TrustedReviews asserted that the Nexus 5X was the best way to experience Android Marshmallow right now. However, for a small proportion of early adopters, it’s also the yellowest way to enjoy the new OS.
In a Reddit thread (via 9to5 Google), several Android users who have already snapped up the new LG-made handset, are complaining of a display with a yellow tinge.
The issue isn’t being experienced universally, however – but a growing number of users appear to be noting it. One poster on the thread even illustrated the difference between two Nexus 5X handsets (pictured).
