There's no doubt that Samsung's flagship phones have stunning displays but you can't stare at them all day. It's just one of the aesthetic components that can contribute to your enhanced user experience.

Although Samsung's handsets thrive with its brilliant visuals, users are left disappointed since the company only ignores the potential burn-in issue. However, the latest One UI 6.0 update finally addresses this problem.

This much-needed burn-in protection is what they are asking for even before this OS update is rolled out.

Samsung Finally Address Screen Burn-in Issue

To tackle the persistent problem of screen burn-in, Samsung has implemented various safeguards, such as dynamically altering elements of the user interface to prevent static images from causing permanent damage.

Despite these efforts, the One UI 6.0 update, which introduced Android 14, overlooked these critical burn-in protections on select Galaxy S23 models, Phone Arena notes.

One UI 6.1 Update Gives Hope to Samsung Users

Acknowledging the issue earlier this year, Samsung reassured users of their commitment to finding a solution. However, the timeline for implementing the fix remained uncertain, leading to frustration among users. 

Initial reports suggested that the resolution would coincide with the January 2024 security patch, but this deadline passed without a remedy in sight.

Fortunately, the rollout of the One UI 6.1 update brings hope for users, particularly those with the Galaxy S23 Ultra. A vigilant user noticed the restoration of burn-in protections with this update, indicating that Samsung has addressed the issue. 

Notably, status bar icons now subtly shift to prevent burn-in, ensuring a fresher display experience.

The One UI 6.1 update is currently being deployed globally, reaching several Samsung favorites, including the Galaxy S23 series, Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5, and the Tab S9. 

Speaking of the One UI 6.1 update, Android Headlines reports that the other Samsung flagships will miss out on Photo Ambient Wallpaper.

The observed fix in at least one of these devices signifies a significant step forward for Samsung Galaxy owners concerned about burn-in issues. Now, users can rest assured that Samsung is actively addressing this issue to enhance the longevity of their flagship devices.

Meanwhile, a new rumor says that Apple will likely drop iPadOS 18 support for old devices. Some of the affected models, according to a private account, are the iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd gen), iPhone XR, and the iPhone XS series, iPhone 11 series, iPhone 12 series, iPhone 13 series, iPhone 14 series, and iPhone 15 series.

Elsewhere, Tech Times reported that a new Nothing Phone 3 rumor hints on its performance upgrade. Based on the rumor, Nothing Phone's 2 successor will boast improved AI features. On top of that, it will be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor.
