Found it: Some Galaxy S8 owners are complaining about “reddish” tint on their handset’s display - SamMobile

For the most part (and from our experience), altering the color balance does the trick. When we first got our hands on the Galaxy S8, we noticed a slight reddish tint, especially when compared to another unit that had the correct display configuration. The easiest way for Samsung to address the problem on a wide scale is to issue a software update — and that’s what we think it’ll do.

The design surrounding the battery — its installed position, spacing, and reinforcement — is very, very similar to the Note 7.”
