How to check and fix the Galaxy S22 Ultra display issue?
To check whether your Exynos Galaxy S22 Ultra has this widely reported display bug, you first have to set a built-in live wallpaper lockscreen on your phone. Now set the screen mode to Natural and display resolution to WQHD+. Once all these conditions are met, you should see the pixelated line while trying to unlock the device using the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner (via). The line appears horizontally above the clock, across the width of the display. Note that you might also notice this line, sometimes wider than before, in other scenarios such as playing YouTube videos. But you can reproduce it manually by meeting the conditions stated above. You can see Twitter user @Golden_Reviewer reproducing the bug at the end of this article. As the author notes, the screen flickering in the video is due to them taking slo-mo footage. It is not another bug. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra arguably has the best smartphone display right now. The 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x display boasts a peak brightness of 1,750 nits, a QHD+ resolution, and a variable refresh rate that can go from 120Hz all the way down to 1Hz depending on the usage scenario. Unfortunately, the out-of-the-box experience of this display hasn’t been very exciting for some users. Thankfully, Samsung has yet acknowledged this Galaxy S22 Ultra display issue and promised to roll out a fix soon. It has already developed a patch for the bug. So that “soon” should just be a few days away at max. The company says the issue isn’t widespread. Meanwhile, you can temporarily get rid of that pixelated line on your Exynos 2200-powered Galaxy S22 Ultra by simply setting the screen mode to Vivid or switching to the FHD+ display resolution. We will let you know when Samsung rolls out a permanent fix for it.
