- This feature prevents permanent image retention by subtly moving pixels.
OLED displays are known for their vivid visuals, but they’re not without their flaws. One of the issues is screen burn-in, a phenomenon in which static images left on the screen for an extended period of time can cause permanent discoloration.
To combat this, Samsung has previously implemented features like cleverly moving pixels, especially in areas like the status bar where icons remain in a fixed position.
While these features were present in One UI 5, they were mysteriously missing from the One UI 6.0 update that rolled out with Android 14, specifically affecting the Galaxy S23 series.
Now, with the release of One UI 6.1, Samsung appears to be bringing back these protective features.First to report 9 to 5 googleusers have confirmed that the status bar icons on the Galaxy S23 Ultra have once again been cleverly relocated to prevent permanent image retention.
The One UI 6.1 update is currently available for the Galaxy S23 series, Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5, and other eligible devices. It also introduces Galaxy AI features to further enhance the Samsung phone experience.
