Samsung bringing back screen burn-in protection to its phones this month

OLED screen burn-in protection could come back to Galaxy devices with the next software update

Now, Samsung has responded, saying that it has acknowledged the issue and that it is working on fixing it. An official forum moderator from Samsung has replied to the complaint on the Samsung Community forum (via @theonecid) and said that the company is working on solving this issue, and people can expect to see it fixed before the end of this month (January 2024). However, they also stated that the fix could be delayed due to several factors, varying from phone to phone and region to region.

It is good to see that Samsung has acknowledged this crucial issue and that it has already started working on a fix for the problem. Going by the South Korean firm's software update development and release practices, most Galaxy phones and tablets should get the OLED screen burn-in protection back with the January 2024 or February 2024 security update.

Samsung is also working on the One UI 6.1 update for several of its phones and tablets, and the new software version will debut on the Galaxy S24 that will be unveiled on January 17, 2024. This next One UI version will bring several AI-powered features, but it isn't clear how many of those features will make it to older devices remain to be seen.
