Does anyone experience burn-in from the navigation bar? I got my Galaxy S9+ on the 12th of March and the home button has already burnt in and can be seen in some conditions. I've set the bar to auto-hide but have set the AOD to appear with the square icon for the home button at the bottom. Not sure if this has caused the burn in cause I know the square should move places a bit to prevent such issues. Before the S9+ I had a S7 edge and had absolutely no traces of burn in. So dissapointed from Samsung, a huge mistake to put a navigation bar on an OLED screen. Few years back when I had the Galaxy Nexus nearly everything has burnt in the display, e.g. app icons, navigation bar, status bar. That was the time when I swore I would never buy a Galaxy phone again. When the S7 edge came out though I couldn't resist it and I told myself I would never buy a phone different than a Galaxy, and now I don't know how to feel. I can only imagine what this display would look like after a year or two of usage given the fact that a small button shifting positions managed to burn in for a few days.
