Several users have reported display problems on the dedicated Galaxy S22 and S22 Ultra subreddits, with weird bands spanning the length of the screen (via 9to5Google). A few similar elements appear to emerge from the comments on these topics. To begin with, these unusual bands have only been seen on Exynos devices so far, not on Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-based phones now on the market in the United States and other regions. It also appears that particular screen combinations cause similar issues, implying that the issue is with the new AMD GPU rather than the display.
— Golden Reviewer (@Golden_Reviewer) February 22, 2022 When the resolution is set to WQHD and the Screen mode is set to Natural, the problem arises. The flicker occurs while playing YouTube videos or unlocking the smartphone after these settings are enabled. Here’s a Fix Samsung recommends that users use S22 Ultra in Full HD+ resolution and Vivid screen mode until an official repair is announced. It also advises people to keep their smartphones up to date. Users may adjust the display settings by going to Settings -> Display -> Screen Mode or Screen Resolution and selecting the suggested option. For the time being, if you buy an Exynos-based S22 Ultra and notice display distortion, consider changing the colour and resolution settings. While you wait for additional information, it could be enough to keep the phone functional.
