I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G SM-G988U1 and I always see shadows/grains/artifacts in dark areas of the screen especially when the brigthness is very low. It was purchased in September of this year (2024) labelled as a new model.
Grains:
With the default wallpaper out of the box, the black and white one with the big silver bubbles, when I touch the Recent Apps soft key I see a lot of grains in the background, however I must admit the icons and so forth all have proper colour accuracy and they are all clear.
Shawdows/Artifacts:
Photos - When viewing photos in the gallery eg. black hair on someones head, I can see shadows, black patches, artifacts (whatever you want to call it) in some parts of the hair.
Video: When watching a video, eg. someone in black clothing walking, shadows can clearly be seen every step of the way.
I have tried a few suggestions but nothing completely works. For the shadows in hairs, clothing, screen corners etc. I switched the display from Natural to Vivid and adjusted the lever to cool and vice versa...that didn't work.
For the Recent Apps situation with the background grain, going to Accessibility>Visibility>Reduce Transparency and Blur works even though it makes the background look dull but at least the grain is gone once that toggle is on BUT it still doesn't remove the shadow from people's hair etc. so something is still amiss. The fact that the Accessibility method works to an extent, this tells me these issues are more likely software related than hardware related.
Can anybody give me solid suggestions to make my Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra screen look the way it is supposed to? I never had these problems with my previous Galaxy S series like the S2, S5 etc. Thank you all for reading.
Regards.

Anonymous, 05 Oct 2024Hell yeah most people don't pay attention and just ass... moreYour comment made my day.
I recently purchased a brand new S20 Ultra and that was the ONLY one I wanted. It has a larger screen, louder speakers and it's the last S-series with MicroSD support, bundled charger, bundled earphones, bundled USB ON THE GO adapter and it comes with 12GB of RAM by default. The S22 and 23 Ultra starts at 8GB or RAM.

CCE, 05 Feb 2022S20 Ultra is much better then than S21 and S22.Hell yeah most people don't pay attention and just assume because the s21 22 23 and 24 are better because they are newer when everything from 21 till 25 were actually down graded versions of gs 20
