Samsung s21 ultra black flickering

[DanStan]

Anyone having a strange problem were you hover finger or press the top of screen (such as dragging top of screen to turn bluetooth and other shortcuts) and the screen flicks black? Sometimes it will stay black til i press another part of screen or just flicks black for a second. Getting a bit annoying not sure if its trying to do something else? Or if its the auto brightness malfunctioning?

Faulty unit.. Send for replacement

The only time I would expect that behaviour is if you were on a call, if not I'd ask for a replacement

yes this is exactly what it feels like. I have reset phone as noticed the sides of phone weren't lighting up when receiving messages but now it does and it has stopped flickering for now. I'll see how phone gets on since still have 15 days to return. Thanks for everyone's input

update for those who have same problem.. turned off accidental touch protection in the display settings and now works fine
