Image retention (or burn-in) Galaxy s8 ?

[Enzo1707]

Hi everyone,

I would like to know if you have the same "problem ". I've received a galaxy s8 last Friday. Everything was great except one. I've a noticed a potential image retention. For example, the (black) navbar remained on the screen for 3-5 second after closing an app. Or the black bar on the top (when apps aren't full screen) was noticeable also after closing. So I went to a store to see their galaxy s8 and s8+ and test it. The results was clear, their galaxy s8 had the same "problem" but not the s8+. So I decided to change my phone and get a new. Surprise, same thing... then I went to another store and their s8 also had this potential issue but not their s8+. So I've seen 4 galaxy s8 having this problem. My question is simple. Am I the only one ? Will it get worse ? Is it normal ? I don't think that my store is going to change my phone again. Keep in mind that this "image retention" is more noticeable on a blue or gray picture. Thanks for your answers.

Im having exactly the same issue, particularly with the navigation bar. I also noticed that the home button square stays on the screen faintly, almost like AMOLED burn in yet my phone is literally 3 days old? Its particularly noticeable on grey screens. However this aside I do love the phone. Im going in today to see if they can swap it. How did you go with yours?

I think I'm going to keep my phone. After seeing 4 different s8 with the same problem and other people having the same issue, I think the first series of galaxy s8 are like that. Samsung is going to solve it for next, in few weeks. Other people have chenged their phone and thei screen were worst. I'm just not going to use a black navbar until Samsung react and say something...

A fix for screen retention is to first burn in tool and then to prevent any further retention to get sFilter and turn opacity to 5 and dimmer to 100 and nav bar on works on lg g5
