Some owners of Galaxy Note 20 Ultra complain about experiencing screen burn-in on their device whenever they use its S-View Flip Cover. As of posting, there is no explanation of why this happens or what the cause may be.
Samsung Galaxy forum and Reddit users, for now, are advising others to be careful about their choice of cases for their Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, at least for the meantime. The warning came in the light of reports that some owners of Galaxy Note 20 Ultra experience having screen burn-in on their devices when they start using the S-View Flip Cover. They also report seeing discoloration on the side of the device where the case shows the visuals.
The Ultra S-View Flip Cover, which some users say causes their device to have a screen burn-in, makes it easy for owners to use their Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra. It allows users to swipe and tap to control their phone even without opening the phone case. Users can also answer incoming phone calls, as well as respond to events and alarms even while the case still covers the screen. You can also check your notifications and the time by simply glancing at the cover and without opening the phone.
While the S-View Flip Cover for Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra offers a great degree of convenience, some users recently report that it is causing a screen burn-in and in some instances, discoloration on the side of the device. Forum users, however, say that the issue appears temporary as some of those who experienced it said the screen burn-in problem seems to go away when they switched to a different case. It is not yet certain if software utilities can help resolve the issue.
As to why the S-View Flip Cover on the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra causes a screen burn-in and discoloration on the side of the device, some users speculate that it may be a software bug. Such a bug can cause the screen portion that the S-View Flip Cover uses to be always on, though this remains a speculation until there is actual confirmation as to the cause.
Some users revealed they have sent messages to Samsung but the Korean tech giant still has not responded to the queries. For now, users are glad that the issue of the S-View Flip Cover causing screen burn-in and discoloration on the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra appear to be temporary as burn-in is a serious concern for any phone with OLED screens due to the nature of its technology. In some cases, such issues may leave a static item on your phone's screen for a long time.
