In a recent development, Reddit users have raised concerns about potential screen burn-in issues with devices running Samsung's One UI 6.

According to reports, recently released Samsung update (One UI 6) seems to lack burn-in protection, a feature that was present in the previous One UI 5.

Samsung, known for its efforts to prevent OLED screen burn-in, had incorporated pixel shifting as a feature in One UI 5.

However, it appears that this crucial feature might have been overlooked in the One UI 6 update, which is based on Android 14.

Users on Reddit have begun reporting that the status bar icons no longer shift positions after updating to One UI 6.
