The Samsung S23 series of smartphones come with an AMOLED screen, and despite having excellent color reproduction, the one thing that all AMOLED displays struggle with is screen burn-in issues. None of the devices that come with AMOLED display can escape this issue of screen burning, where faint ghostly images are retained on the part of a screen, even if the user switches to a different screen interface.
This happens because AMOLED display pixels tend to permanently burn in damage if only a particular detail is present in a specific part of the screen almost all the time. This kind of screen issue showing up on year-old flagship smartphones is alarming. And if you are one of these troubled users, this article could be your helping grace. So without any further ado, let’s get into it.

How to Fix Samsung Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, and S23 Ultra Screen Burn-in Issue?
To better understand the issue, let us take the example of the battery icon at the top of the smartphone’s display. That remains static most of the time, irrespective of what the user browses through on the smartphone. Yes, the percentage will go up and down depending on usage, but the bar representing the battery remains constant. On a Samsung Galaxy S23 device, this could result in a permanent shadow or ghostly image of the bar showing up at the top even if the user watches a video that should remove the bar from view altogether. This screen burn-in issue is not prevalent as compared to the previous years. But unfortunately, this still exists, and for some reason, many S23 users are complaining that the screen burn-in issue is showing up on their devices much earlier than usual. Usually, it takes close to 3 years of regular usage for screen burn-in to show up. But it is showing up faster on the Samsung S23 lineup. What is the solution, and how can you prevent further worsening? That is what we will discuss here in this article.
There are some key things that you need to understand before we go ahead with the article.
- Firstly, you should understand that all OLED screens can suffer the screen burn-in issue. The right way to deal with it is to be careful during usage.
- Prolonged static imagery is the primary cause of pixel wear or screen burning showing up. If you ensure your display’s pixels constantly change, the burn-in issue can be delayed or reduced significantly.
- Increased brightness results in faster wearing down of pixels. So if you are prone to use your smartphone in a light mode more than dark mode with high brightness settings, you are more prone to develop screen burn-in issues.
Suggest users alter the home screen arrangements every 3 months. Using 5×5 then changing to 5×6 alters position of icons thus reducing constant wear. Alter screen timeout to 45 sec. Use dark mode. Use auto ambient brightness option.
