Samsung’s flagship phones are known for their stunning displays, but there has been a concern regarding burn-in issues with the latest One UI 6 upgrade. However, Samsung has addressed this problem in the new One UI 6.1 update, bringing back crucial protection to prevent screen damage.

To combat screen burn-in on bright displays, Samsung has implemented features like discreetly changing elements in the user interface to prevent static images from causing permanent damage. Unfortunately, the One UI 6.0 upgrade missed out on these burn-in protections for certain Galaxy S23 handsets.

Samsung acknowledged this issue earlier this year and assured users that a solution was in the works. However, the timeline for a fix was initially unclear, leading to speculation that it would be included in the January 2024 security patch. Disappointingly, no solution materialized at that time.

Now, with the rollout of One UI 6.1 to the Galaxy S23 Ultra, it seems that Samsung has reinstated these crucial protections. Users have noticed that status bar icons are no longer stuck in place but subtly shift around to prevent burn-in issues.

The One UI 6.1 update is currently being rolled out globally to popular Samsung devices such as the Galaxy S23 series, Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5, and Tab S9. This fix brings relief to Samsung Galaxy owners who were worried about burn-in problems and had been patiently waiting for a solution.
