Strange color issue with the camera in low light - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had been noticing something in my s5 camera when i open it in low light and i noticed a bit of orange hue on the top corners of the photo, both in the camera app and after taking it.
I assumed it was due to light coming of from part of the room or close to the tv, but i just took a picture covering the camera in auto mode and viewing it on the phone it shows that bit of orange tint on the corners, like light bleed.
Now assumed it was due to the high iso that the camera goes to in low light, but when viewing it on the computer, that dark image shows just a dark/black photo with no "light bleed". Then i thought it could be a issue with the screen, so i downloaded a screen test app and the dark/black color shows no problems.
Anyone experienced this or know what it is? Is due to the isocell technology? Is my camera defective? Or is it just something simple that im missing here?
I tried to take a photo to show you what im talking about. Its not perfect and its a bit grainy, but it shows a bit im talking about and its on those corners that you see a bit lighter on the screen that show that color.

Edit: ok, so i was just messing with the settings and with iso at 800, lower than what auto mode goes to, it doesn't seem to happen, so its the high iso. What i find strange is that the same photo with the lens covered shows like that on the phone screen but on the computer is just a black photo =/ also, i don't know where the camera gets that "light" since the lens was fully covered

Camera's colour reproduction is not correct

I noticed that during daylight the colours of pics are not correct.
The colours are washed out and too cold.
They are not vivid.
Has anyone else experiencing this?
Mine seems to be fine:

Ok here is what I have noticed with the S4 camera, direct sunlight or strong light, perfect pictures (best on any smartphone imo)
Cloudy, over cast or artificial light under 5000lux and the camera performs badly with washed out de-saturated images.
You may also want to check the camera lens for a little bit of plastic sammy put on to protect the camera surround, when i carefully removed that bit of plastic i noticed a reduction in fringe distortion that was making the edges of images distorted and blurry.

You may already have but check the lens for finger smudges, also do you have a filter enabled check by clicking. ">" symbol on left side of camera screen as there is a washed out filter

[Q] One-sided color shift when looking at the screen at an angle

Have you noticed such thing on your G2 device: when looking at the screen from the RIGHT side, at an angle, there's a color shift, especially when looking at an uniform color background (red, blue). For example - when you look at the red pattern it becomes yellowish at the very high angle (almost flat), BUT this thing doesn't happen when you look at the screen from the opposite direction (left). I have a 16 GB version.
I have attached some pictures and would be glad if you could check it and confirm whether it's present on your device (display/dead pixel test software is helpful here to display one color on the whole screen - like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.displaytester). And also - which model you have - 16 or 32 GB?

This is also present on my device, but i really doesn't pay much attention to it. In real day-to-day use i don't see it. Many reviews stated that there is a color change on G2, so it is an issue for most of people on G2, just some people see it, some people don't.
If you wear polarized sunglasses it's actually impossible to see the screen when in landscape, this and lack of wireless charging are the only two things I can fault on this device and honestly the former is pretty minor imo.
Thanks for your answers, so unless anyone says he doesn't have this issue I think it's just specific to the LCD panel used in this phone.
I have a blue shift to the right and yellow shift or the left. Quirky panel.

Am I Crazy or Does Auto Mode Process JPGs Differently From Pro Mode?

I'm still deciding whether or not I'm keeping the S7 Edge or going back to my 6s Plus, and the camera is a big factor in that decision.
In doing some testing, I've noticed that Auto mode seems to process JPGs differently than Pro mode. Photos I take in Auto mode look heavily over-processed, with awful noise reduction smoothing artifacts and occasionally even aliasing so bad that it looks like a heavily compressed JPG. Here's an example of the latter effect:
{

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That's a screen grab, zoomed in to 1:1, just to highlight the blocky edges around the circle and colour noise in the white of the sign. Both effects are visible even at 100% zoom.
To test this theory, I took a shot in Auto and Pro and compared the two directly. The focus was on the same spot and the shots were taken one after, just switching modes in between. No change in ambient light levels or other shooting conditions. The camera chose a shutter speed of 1/15 at ISO 200 for both shots so the settings didn't vary either.
Nevertheless, here's the result (screenshot from my image comparison software):
Unless I'm nuts, the shot on the left is clearly softer than the one on the right, not because the focus is off but because of the watercolour-style smearing of details.
Obviously the solution is to use Pro mode, but why would the images be processed differently? And if there's a good reason, why can't we choose to use Pro mode by default instead of Auto?
Very interesting! I ONLY ever use pro mode anyways so it would be nice to be able to set it as the default mode.

Reflections of direct light sources (lamps, street lights) in camera pictures

Hi Guys,
I switched from Sony Xperia Z3 to OnePlus 5 just last week and i have had good experience so far .
But yesterday while testing camera during night , i spotted strange spots/reflections of light in the view finder . initially i thought those were smudges but no they are not . I moved my camera at different angles and i saw them move in the view finder or vanish .
Also if I cover lens with hand from top , they disappeared. I am attaching photos that i took and rounded the spots /reflections in blue . This is not the case in all night time photos but in few where there are light sources directly falling on lens.
Anyone else facing this issue ?? This is definitely not normal . Should i return my device ? This is so annoying
I need your help guys

Almost looks like there is some source with IR leds around. Security cameras for example have this for outdoor visibility at night.

So is this normal behaviour ?? That is my office and may have those
It's normal behavior to capture IR lights yes, its not normal when they aren't there. Try to make a picture somewhere else, for example in a dark room.

Well that looks like a picture taken in very bad conditions (poorly lit overall environment except for a source of light right in the middle) taken with a smartphone camera that was rather average even by 2017 standards.
The halos around the lamp might be either because of a dirty lens (maybe on the inside?) or because you moved the phone a little (the exposure must have been very long, like 0.5 seconds or so). The noise is rather normal given the first paragraph.
Later I'll try a similar shot...

Hi
I was sure this happened when I installed Lineage but now I see that the glass was a bit greasy "embarrassing" I cleaned it and the halos are gone. I was so focused on the Lineage install spoiling the camera driver, thanks.
