How many people have experienced screen burn in on their S6 yet? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, let's get straight to the point. I'm about to buy a new phone, probably the s6, but I'm concerned about one thing: how many of you have experienced screen burn in? I know it's a common thing with amoled displays. I'm not talking about the design flaw because of which you can see a sort of rectangular outline (only visible with full brightness outside and with a white screen) on the display (I'm not entire sure of this, I've read some reports about it though and I don't think it would bother me), but I'm talking about impressed/ghost images like status bar/text/icons/etc. that appear even if you change image on the screen. Hope I was clear enough, english isn't my native tongue. Thanks for the help!

i had an s2 - no burn in, s4 - no burn in, s6 - no burn in so far
so i think unless you keep the screen on for hours every single day on max brightness on the same image, it is very unlikely to get burn in.

Been having Samsung devices since s3 never got one and I got all note and s series

Bought at AT&T, may 6 2015, my Galaxy S6. Not burn in. I have no problems with my phone so far.

Ive had the S1, S2, S3, S3 LTE, S4, S5 and now the S6.
I have never had burn in on any of these phones. The S4 I used daily for 2 years and still no burn in.
If you use the device normally and don't leave one thing on the display for hours on a high brightness then burn in is not a problem.

2 month old S6 here, half brightness with auto mode. Mark left by status bar and also dirty screen effect. Looking at a grey screen I see marks that could quite possibly be burn from the keyboard too.

After 3 months, no burnin. However there's a noticeable difference between the status bar and the rest of the screen. The screen has yellowed slightly

Screen Burn-in

Anyone else notice what seems like to be a screen burn in on their Galaxy S6 (non-edge). I was outside today in direct sunlight for the first time and I pulled up google chrome (white background) and I noticed dark gray lines as depicted by the red lines in the pictures. Just curious if anyone else has this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/phone-please-try-thispossible-screen-t3072949
I have found exactly the same issue on mine. But it's only noticeable in direct sunlight it seems. At present it isn't a deal breaker for me but it's certainly a bit odd. Surely it's a little early for screen burn in?

It's not screen burn in. It's the metal chassis behind the screen which you are seeing., which is only visible in direct sunlight.
Ok but is that normal?I have the same issue and at the store i notice the same issue on one new-out of the box device.Should we replace our device or this is normal?
I started a thread to this issue yesterday. Because I didnt saw this one.
Just replaced my phone because some issues with the display, flash led and this problem.
Think my replacement will have it, too.
For now I cannot anwer me the question if it is suitable to accept this for a phone in this price segment. The summer is coming and the issue will be there on a lot of days.

I think i will not settle for a phone at this price range and this stupid issue and i think that nobody should. I will just pick up Note 4 with Exynos if this issue is not resolved with the 3rd s6 device.
Me too.
On a teardown from ifixit you can exactly see the unit that creates these frame.
Thank you very much! I also experienced this on my Galaxy s6. I ordered a replacement and also noticed it.
Just to let you now guys.I tested 4 new s6 devices and all of them had this issue!!!This is a big thing and nobody is making the real fuzz abou it.So i picked up Note 4 with Exynos.Do not buy s6, wait for month of two just so they can resolve this.
I think it is a design problem and there will be no fix for it.
If that is the case, then ppl should make a big deal about it.I don not have this phone anymore but I would like to help if this issue continues.I will contact samsung via facebook and see what we can do.
I got my replacement yesterday and yes, the problem still exists. The phone is from Vietnam, 04/15/15.
The story goes on. After Amazon Germany stopped selling the black 64 GB edition I replaced my one against the white 64 GB. This one shows the frame on any background. Not only white. Only on very dark ones there is no see.
And I can see it under normal light conditions. Not only sunlight.
A very very very bad Display.
Why is it just this quiet about the issue? It's not less ugly like the flash LED or the wiggling home button issue.
My S6 (Germany; Mediamarkt) doesn't seem to have a a burn-in.
http://www.directupload.net/file/d/3982/wj6uc78e_jpg.htm
Try this in direct sunlight please with max brightness.
It is not a real burn in. It is a frame of a used component that Lays direct under the display.
Real screen burnin
We were at the Verizon store today and noticed that all the Edge phones had real screen burn in. One had the Verizon logo burnt into the screen that you could see clearly from within any app with a white background. We used chrome and a normal web page to show the employees of the store. The galaxy s6 egde had some sort of Verizon demo bar burnt into it. It seems to be a problem with the screens. I googled for it and found this thread. I am surprised this hasn't become a serious problem for Samsung yet.

Had a very bad screen burn in my S5 - i could actually see the title of the email app i have to use for work on a white screen without sunlight (title of the app is ALWAYS at the top when working in the app). Now had the S6 since it has been out and starting to see the same issue. Spoke with Samsung about this and they stated that the S4, S5, S6 and all Note devices are capable of getting screen burns with High Contrast imaging or lines. They said they could replace my screen but i would be without a device for nearly a month, and the carrier will not complete a warranty because the device still functions perfectly.
THANKS SAMSUNG!

S6 Burn in issue how bad is it?

It's been more than 6 months since the phone was released, to all the people who are still using the phone how bad is the burn in issue?
Bought Mid-summer. I can see some burn in. especially on grey backgrounds. But generally if you dont look for it, you dont see it, so... yeah... PPI grow up, burn in stays, like on s1 s2 s3 s4 s5
how do galaxy owners get burn-in? i owned several Samsung Galaxy S devices (S1, S3, S4, S6, Note 2, Tab S) and luckily never experienced it. Are you leaving screen brightness at max all the time and screen timeout at 10 minutes?

More like how the hell do you get burn in... I've had an S3, S4, S5 and my current S6 and I've never had burn in. He'll I tried to get burn in on my S4 by putting the screen brightness to the max and leaving the screen on overnight for 2 weeks and nothing...
I also have screen timeout set to the maximum so 10 minutes on stock TouchWiz and infinite back in the CM days
My sister have S4 Mini which have VERY BAD burn in, my GF have S3 Neo which have burn in too at upper screen
I use my phone extensively and since amoled screens have become brighter and brighter it tends to burn in more easily. You can use dial *#0*# and click on the blue screen and look at the status bar area. That area will always be the first to burn in. I dont know about others but i have very sensitive eye sight.
But hey, it's my experience. Im just sharing. No need to trash me with your i dont have burn in here i never had a burn in there.
Cheers.

S8+ AMOLED Display Quality (Red Tint Issue) - worse as previous Samsung devices

Hello fellow XDA members,
In the past I started some threads regarding Samsung AMOLED display quality, especially for the Note devices.
Please see here if you are interessted:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/note4-amoled-screen-quality-t2906365
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463786
Now, with the S8+ (and the S8, the problem is the same), even the media recognized the display problems, known as "red tint", just google for it!
Samsung tells the people that this is due to wrong settings, and/or the adaptive display setting turned on! THIS IS NOT THE CASE!!!
I got 2 pieces of S8+ today, and both displays are not OK. One screen has the red tint issue, but only on the upper half of the screen.
The other device has no red tint, but is generally darker and looks more "washed out" and has a slight yellow tint.
So again the display lottery is back, it is only "luck of the draw" if you get a decent screen or not!!!
If you do not believe me just compare a few devices beneath each other with the exact same display settings. Turn adaptive display off, then go into the dialer and type *#0*#, with this you ensure the brightness settings are the same and you have the same sceen content on both devices. You will notice that every single device has a different screen quality (tint, evenness, ...)
What do you say? Acceptable or not?
With all of us over at the tmobile shipping thread we've been waiting and crying and hoping that we get our devices early....and then when we finally got our devices ****ty things like red tint leaves a sour taste in our mouths..sad really, samsung already made this device feel rushed with all the Bixby and fingerprint scanner awkward positioning and what did we do after the note 7 debacle? We forgave these fools...and now this?....i do feel bad for those that actually paid full retail price for these expensive devices and to unbox and realize the screen is pink...that right there is not how to say forgive us for our mistakes instead a huge f u to all the customers who were unlucky enough to get such a horrible display color....but I will say I won the lottery because out of the box my s8plus came out nice no red pinkish tint whites are white...but why am I still pissed? Because my note 4 was the same whites were white and then after a year or so my eyes were fixed on a strange color that was taking up half of the screen that came out of nowhere...so yes I will be forever paranoid with sammys displays now....if my s8plus came in like that I don't think I would've came back....but then again I'm here lol
Settle down guys, this will likely be fixed with a future fw given the attention its gotten, this is pretty simple for samsung to fix actually, all samsung needs to do is what video games have been doing for years; offer the user an option to calibrate based a sample image. Once thats in, the presets can be established based off of those generated values from the user selection.
It seems like they will indeed need to implement a fix of this sorts, because it does seem the displays hue varys from device to device.
Anyways, for the most part, I hardly notice it and it seems even, and the more I look at it, the more i can't make sense out of it? Seems to play tricks on my eyes... lol.
Beautiful phone and display though!

This is a hardware problem, a real software fix IS NOT POSSIBLE!!!
Samsung can only try to cammo the problem with increasing the range of the color-sliders in the display settings, so that you can turn down red more then now. But this wont fix that the red tint is NOT EVEN ACROSS THE DISPLAY!!
What else proves that this is a hardware error is that if you put 5 devices next to each other (with the exact same settings), each of them will look different in regard to screen quality! Believe me, I know what I'm talking about, see my previous threads regarding that!
I agree that it should be even otherwise you may have a hardware problem but my concern is your criticism has more to do with amoled in gerneral and what we are observing is a consequence of the tech used. Samsung is also pushing the boundries here too with the display tech so the norms for amoled to compare to may not even apply anymore. And your comment to my comment regarding masking the problem, there is a reason why every display on the planet has picture settings.. right? No 2 displays are exactly the same...
I just went through the crap with my Surface Pro 4 too, trust me, they are a good example of no 2 displays alike, must have went though at least 11 Surface Pro 4 on my mission for perfection display and I had to give up in the end because truth is, its still an awesome device!

Absolutely unacceptable reasoning. They shouldn't be putting out a product if the "early batches" are DEFECTIVE
Obviously it's a QC problem, which they seem to have some fairly big issues with, over and over.. They will lose customer faith if they keep doing this ****

Perhaps but then again why did you buy a phone from samsung in the first place?.....
I was in the Samsung store yesterday for the launch party. They had 3 S8+ on display next to eachother. Each was running the exact same retail mode, showing the exact same content at the exact same time.
One display was white, one was red hued, and one was pee yellow.
(No, it wasn't display calibration settings, I checked).
There are definitely quality control issues.

And which of the 3 do you have?
I noticed a slight pinkish tint when the shipping screen protector was on, but looks ok without it.
Something slightly different this year is there seems to be a pink tinge on all four sides of the display (top, bottom, left and right). It's a very consistent along the sides of the screen and very noticeable, a few people here have also noticed it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/red-tint-screen-t3592335
So it's not just another pink/yellow/blue/green spotty tinge problem, theres now uniformity with the example i've provided.
I've got the S8+ and the screen is not red at all. The left and right edges if anything have a slight blueish tone to them but I believe this to be the effect of the screen curving to the sides distorting the colour (Colour shift?).
Unless you have bought one and have the problem with it, you have no right to complain.

Mine had a very slight pink tinge when I got it, at the very top and bottom (maybe half the status bar thickness), and it's since gone way.
The over all display color was a little too warm for my liking, so I knocked the red slider down to half, and now it's fine.
Got me and the wife one yesterday from At&t. No red tint and best phone yet. I love it.
My display is freaking beautiful and I love the fingerprint location. I never had any trouble. My finger finds it very naturally

im not tying to be a jerk but just curious what happens when you cycle the --blue light filter-- button in the pull down menu with the wifi, Airplane mode ect.
reason i ask my displays is perfect but with the blue light filter on which is to reduce eyestrain ..then the display is very red
Really did not know they had this till i play around with it

I have an S8+ as per my posts in the other thread, so I have a right to complain.
Firstly, it could well be fixed by software, even if its uneven, HTC had issues with the camera doing this a number of years ago (big red spot in all pictures). It was fixed with software
Secondly, it might disappear with time. AMOLED, OLED and other self lighting technologies (like Plasma in TVs) have a bed in time, where some colour ranges need to burn in. I would suggest a full red screen using a screen tester app for a few hours, to see if it beds in the red.
Guys, I would like to take this device, there is a possibility of having a faded display?

Redish screen or edges

Hey. Do u also have problem with sgs8/8+ and their red screen or even pink ??
On the internet i can see that many clients has this problem and samsung says that "this must be like it is"... so ?
Do we have #PinkGate??
My samsung have also redish whole screen.
Nothing ? No one ?
Yeah, i returned mine. Top half of screen was red. Bottom half was green. Any screen mode other than adaptive just made it worse.
Dud u get new one without this crap ? Or u just wanna cash back ??
I've exchanged 4 with my cell provider before getting a perfect one
Was just about to post a similar topic, think I'm going to be taking this one back today, my first one had a red hue down the sides and this one appears to have a pink lower half that I am trying to live with but cannot...
My first one was perfect but it had broken speaker. Then had to try another two to finally get acceptable one. Not perfect, it goes pink-ish on specific angle, but it's not that bad. I really suggest to buy those phones in store so you can check it and save yourself some time.
this problem was addressed and fixed by an update as far as i know...

It's a hardware problem, so it can't be fixed by software. All the update did was allow you to mess with the RGB sliders and it's only available in the "Adaptive Display" mode. This option doesn't help if your display has multiple different hues such as a top reddish hue and a bottom greenish hue. It also is in "Adaptive Display" mode which is the least colour accurate mode.
This is a well-documented issue, like anything AMOLED, there can be a lot of variation from panel to panel. You should be able to go to the retailer and swap it out.

So it was just another"marketing stunt" by samsung.mine doesn't have it but reading about it when I first got my s8+,thought it was a software problem.thanks for the clarification
On my third S8+ due to pink hues on the display. My fourth should be delivered on Monday. Fingers crossed that it has a good screen and won't have to be exchanged.

In my opinion, this is ridiculus - cuz this phone costs really a lot of money and samsung dont give a **** about customers and samsungs problem with screen. Samsung is mocking to telling us that "update" will solve "your" Problem.
Im from Poland and here samsung store says "its a advantage of this PRODUCT"...... crapy telling
My device has a pretty messed up display, to the point where the software controls that Samsung has added are just enough to solve the problem. I have the cool / warm slider all the way to the right (warm), because this cancels out the green tint a bit. From advanced settings I have the green slider at about 20%, the red slider at about 80%, and the blue slider at 100%.
And because this wasn't enough, the display has a warm glow at the edges. Thankfully, Samsung has a software solution for this, and it works by adding a cool tint at the edges to counter-act the warm tint. But this solution isn't perfect, as the warm tint disappears when the display is looked at in an angle, and the blue software-added tint becomes visible.
I haven't returned my device because the problem is fully solvable through software, although I am a bit disappointed that a phone that cost over $900 has problems that the user has to put effort in to solve.
Had to go through 4 phones from my carrier before getting a perfect screen even tilting the phone I have no red and in any display mode no red or pink at all... there should not be a bandaid fix for a 900$ phone... having to adjust settings is gonna hurt resale value also

It's not "fully" solvable through software. The appearance of the display changes when tilted, just as you said. I'm really hopeful that the replacement I receive via UPS tomorrow has a quality display. Even after playing with the advanced display settings on and off for days, I cannot get rid of the heavy pink tint at the bottom of my current (3rd) phone's display. It's a real shame.
Well, my fourth device arrived today and it's basically as bad as all of the others. This time it has an even pink tint along every edge of the display. This is getting old. I really hope that this issue doesn't carry over to the Note 8.
I went through 4 Nexus 6Ps to find one that had an even screen tone. This is a problem faced by all AMOLED screen. My S8+ isnt the best but it's not that bad either.

The ONLY one with which I've had problems is the S8+. This is NOT a problem with ALL AMOLED displays. This is clearly a manufacturing defect with the S8, as can be evidenced by Samsung's OTA that adds "corrective" features to the advanced display settings. Please don't try to make excuses for them.

[Q] Note 10/10+ Dynamic Screen

Cant seem to find anything concrete info about the display. Not sure if any of you got the s/note series prior to the note 10, but the screen on the note 10 is different. I noticed the screen color (especially on white backgrounds) shifts quite strong. What i mean by that is noticeable to the point i can see when it shifts color, unlike how iphone does it gradually on their screens. I thought the dynamic screen just means less bluelight?
so my questions are
is it just me who notice this?
is this part of the tech? if not then i have a faulty panel?
I have the note 10.

I usually notice stuff, but with Note10 I didn't or it didn't bother me at all. Color shift meaning when you tilt the phone or under different lighting?
99% of people says I'm just whining over nothing but I'm extremely sensitive to this color shift when I tilt the device a little bit. I love samsung amoled screens but I hate this color shift phenomena and it's usually a lottery. My first S10+ was awful but I had to do a warranty claim for other reasons and second S10+ has an almost perfect screen (only very minimal shift to blue).
I ordered 3 note 10+ to avoid this (and planning on selling 2 for profit) but all three had way worse screen than my S10+ in terms of color shifting, they turn extremely red/pink if I tilt them a little bit during normal use, they also have washed out, non uniform. gray (OneUI night mode) while on the S10+ it looks almost completely black and uniform, oh well.

I mean does the dynamic amoled screen shift colors or white balance like how it does on iPhones with their true tone display.
Cause I often find my self seeing the white balance shifting to red or green when I move to different lighting areas.
I assume its the brightness changing that may have resulted changing the white balance. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me. I sometimes see text closer to red than what or yellow (with blue light filter on)

My first S10+ was awful but I had to do a warranty claim for other reasons and second S10+ has an almost perfect screen (only very minimal shift to blue).
I ordered 3 note 10+ to avoid this (and planning on selling 2 for profit) but all three had way worse screen than my S10+ in terms of color shifting, they turn extremely red/pink if I tilt them a little bit during normal use, they also have washed out, non uniform. gray (OneUI night mode) while on the S10+ it looks almost completely black and uniform, oh well.

Yea I was wondering is it a defect. Read above I don't think it's a feature. Again could be my eyes playing tricks on me. Funny how I didn't notice this on previous galaxy phones. Including the s10.
If it's only happening on the dynamic mode(I'm thinking your saying auto mode), why use it all. Dynamic/ auto means just that, it will and is going to shift depending on ambient light. Manually set it, and forget it.
But if you have set it manually(or even the auto) I would say it's more a situation that 'your eyes' made need something special(I don't know how iPhone shifts differ, as I haven't worked on one in a few years), and, it's not a fault of the device, as most people don't have this level of sensitivity or seeing.
