not everybody notices it, but it's there, it's not a bad batch or anything, it's the nature of AMOLED, and yes Samsung didn't turn water to wine, their AMOLED is still an OLED.

GSMA along with many other tech sites doesn't know the presence of this issue. Millions of users apart from me also unaware of this issue. Buddy, you just start a website and spread your knowledge. Why you are wasting your time here where even GSMA doesn't agree to you.

How can a video show to you that the... moreThe video shows (to mentally sane people, from the number of comments that you are churning out I'm not sure if you qualify) that a Pixel 2 XL has burn-in after 48 hours, while a V30 doesn't have burn-in after 10 days. Also, the Phone Arena review shows that V30 has much higher maximum screen brightness compared to Pixel 2 XL. Again, these are differences that only matter to mentally sane people.

How can that video give guarantee to anyone? What does that video show? I say that in time those pixels will burn-in like they did in G Flex and G Flex 2 and all of the other OLED and S-Amoled screens, and what do you say to this? Write it. Don't show me nonsense

Yesterday I tried to "simulate" an issue that "I know" so I easily was able to "recognise" the ongoing problem. So you just don't want to see the problrm and that's fine to me but that doesn't change anything and I'm not a professor, just have more knowledge than you.

                                      Actually all of the screens that Samsung and LG produce are PAMOLEDS. They are all plastic, have active matrix, and organic LED's.
