Samsung has rolled out the secure model of One UI 6 to a handful of gadgets to date, with extra to get the replace quickly. Whereas the replace introduces quite a lot of new options, it appears prefer it is also lacking a vital one — display screen burn-in safety.
In terms of OLED screens, there’s actually just one draw back — the hazard of display screen burn-in. That is the place a show suffers everlasting discoloration, which may seem within the type of a textual content or picture define, fading of colours, or different noticeable patches. Samsung has lengthy taken steps to keep away from this problem way back to the Galaxy S3; a kind of steps consists of shifting pixels from time to time.
Whereas pixel shifting is a function in One UI 5, Samsung could have ignored the function in its One UI 6 replace. Reddit customers are beginning to report that the standing bar icons are now not shifting positions after updating to One UI 6. As Reddit consumer dragosslash explains, this may be examined by following three steps:
- Take a screenshot whereas the standing bar is seen
- Rotate the display screen to panorama then again to portrait (do it 5 instances so the weather drift for a major quantity of pixels)
- Open the screenshot within the Samsung Gallery

If burn-in safety is certainly not working in One UI 6, hopefully, Samsung will implement a fast repair quickly. Android Authority has reached out to Samsung concerning the problem and can present an replace as quickly as extra data is out there.
