Hey everyone! Just got the Samsung S22+ the other day and I noticed that the screen flickers when on the menu(black theme) it get a little brighter for a second then goes back to normal and it only seem to happen in daylight, doesn't appear to happen at night or in the dark, I have adaptive brightness off, it's not a major thing just annoying and wanted to ask if I need to return my phone(still in the 14 day cooling off period) I've only noticed it on darker screen like the settings menu(dark theme)

If you believe something isn't right then it's best to take advantage of the cooling off period @Luchia 

I use the Ultra version but haven't noticed mine flickering.

The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.

Managed to find out the trigger.
It seems to be the proximity sensor, I used a torch to put light on screen and when turned off it did the flicker.
Is this normal or need replacing?

I have dark mode turned On for my Samsung Galaxy s²² Ultra and it does not flicker at all.

Only seem to happen when the proximity sensor had gone from light to dark, I tried using a torch and when I switched the torch off it did the flicker for a second

The fact that it only happens when proximity sensor is exposed to light then dark triggers it which is making me think it's a hardware issue, taking it back tomorrow for a replacement
