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.

I still use this phone and I'm very happy with it! I like the processor, camera, ram and battery of it the most. What I don't like is that it didn't get the update of android 14 and one ui 6.0. If you want a good performance phone for the price, I recommend this one

If you want a cheaper and better phone in 2024, I recommend this one!

Lhanz, 01 Sep 2024Hello! Good day! May I ask any of your expert opinion on ho... moreThe back cameras often get blurry, maybe moisture is getting in, not sure, my wide angle in particular occasionally gets blurry after several months... it can also be other lens too... one time I got the back glass "cleaned"... think they took it apart, cleaned it, then back together... another time they replaced the back panel... not the cheapest fix, but both options cleared things up.

Bill, 09 Sep 2024Hi every one I have s20 ultra 5g and suddenly 2 line appear... moreHow? Sell and get rid of your phone quickly since the lines will not stop and will have more in future time, your display is already damaged and must replace the whole display which not cheap, so who got this phone and still in normal state, just sell and get rid of this phone quicklu before the lines show up or the secondhand price will drop much lower up to 80% from first time launching price
