Samsung S22 Ultra screen defect

[projectam]

There seem to be a lot of users mentioning faulty screens:

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS22/comments/sxbrtf/galaxy_s22_exynos_owners_reporting_defective/

Seems to be easily replicable. Those who received their phones, please try below steps.

- set the screen mode to natural, 120 Hz and WQHD
- Keep the default animated lock screen wallpaper.
- set up a fingerprint.
- lock and try unlocking the phone using a fingerprint.
- same screen issue shows up on the lock screen at the exact same location reported in the Reddit thread.

Same thing happens in screen mode natural and watching YouTube.

What is Samsung doing about this, as it is clearly not looking like an isolated case?

I have experienced this EXACT same issue, and the subsequent ones with black screen, manual reboot not working for 3 days.  AT&T is sending me a new phone.  However, I might have stumbled on a very strange fix when searching the internet.  When it was in black screen and wouldn't wake up....I tapped rather firmly several times up and down the screen and did the same thing to the back of the phone.  The fingerprint validation suddenly appeared, and I pressed my fingerprint then the screen woke up.  Unbelievably, I have not had a single issue with the phone after doing this.  The pixelizing purple screen is gone, as well as the locking issues.  Super weird!

Is your problem resolved? Was that a hardware issue or a software issue. What's the fix? I have bought a used s22 ultra and it has this problem.

For the initial display defect issue it was clearly a software issue that has been resolved upon their first software update.

However, the image you posted seems to be a hardware issue in your case.

What I suggest is that you try to update your phone to the latest available software version and reset it. If the problem persists, you shall consider to check the hardware and a potential hardware repair.
