[HELP!] RECENT minor flickering on the S6

[73RM1N470R]

Hi, first of all I wanna say ,Im really worried about that issue.. Im seriously considering getting a new device as a result.

After the last android ota update (August's I think - not sure cuz I didnt update for some time after it notified me)
My screen started to do these 3-4 flicks whenever Im going somewhere and then returning to the home screen..
(Going in whatsapp then returning.. or EVEN sliding the notification bar down then closing it and it flicks again for 2 seconds)
**The phone is in perfect condition no drops no water damage.
UNROOTED ALL OFFICIAL , auto brightness on .
Soft restart applied nothing changed.
Ive tried a hard reset aswell.. with cache wipe.. still nothing. Went into safe mode STILL FLICKS .
But if there was absolutely NO HW damage how come nothing helps (concerning software)..

What can u suggest me to try next ? Im really desperate here..

Welcome to Android Central!

The phone kept doing it after a factory reset? Did you recently drop it or anything like that? Try taking it to a repair center to see if they can figure out the issue. Maybe the display ribbon is lose or something.
