After i got my Fairphone back from the repaircenter (they thought there was something wrong with it), they told me it was an intended design. However, i see other people mention they don't have it.

Does the screenshot show the hue?
It does.
I don't see the hue in the screenshot
Really? I double checked on my other phone, there it was visible as well...
~~It means it isn't there. I don't see the hue either. Which leaves, screen issue.~~
Edit: It seems like a contrast issue? I took the screenshot and modified it contrast value -3×
Hmm... I understand why you say that. But the thing is, my Fairphone has been send to the repaircenter for this exact reason. I got the same one back because there was no fault present in the screen or phone.
The funny thing is, the same thing happened for other people:

Notice the guy saying: "oh, it actually shows up on a screenshot"? And i don't see it there too. Edit: actually i do, but indeed much less then when taking a actual photo.
This is just weird man...
Yep. Already edited my comment too
Yeah it is visible, but much more subtle than on your original picture in the post.
Easier to see against the black background:
I was curious and then trying to edit the contrast, sure enough. This is 3×
Yeah, it looks way worse on my original photo, because brightness was turned on to the max. On Fairphone it is a little worse then on my Nothing phone, but not that much.
I guess I just have an ancient phone that can't display it. I see it on the photos that people posted with the contrast turned up...but can't see it at all on the original.
Trusty s10e finally showing its age...
I see it. At least we know it's a software issue at least.
Let's try to narrow down the issue. Did you try a different launcher?
Edit: Nevermind. Reading your other comments, it looks like it is the launcher.
Well, that's nevertheless somewhat odd. Fairphone and Nothing have different stock launchers. I think they just modified the standard launcher and thus used a "feature" that was included in the first place? All things point to an actual intended design choice which can't be changed.
I think the reason why some people see it and others don't is because screens have variances and are not calibrated properly. This happens even in the same batch of a phone release.
I saw the gradient but I barely saw it on my Pixel 5a. I could've easily missed.
