S21 Black round dot close to the camera black dot

[cclerc]

I just received my S21 (refurbished) and a black dot remains on the screen near the front camera (see picture below). I've tried restarting the phone, and also testing the pixels with *#0*# but it still appears in all cases. Have any of you had a similar problem and found a solution? Also, as the dot is quite small, do you think it would be risky to keep this phone? Thanks for your replies.

I would return, I've come across posts with people with the same issue. It is a fault with the screen. Damage or dead pixels.

Post with a similar dot.

There is also a developer option that gives a similar effect called "simulate display with cutout" with six options that can produce a black circle on the screen. Check in your developer options that this is not active and set to default.

I had this issue and now I have a massive black blob around the camera. I hadn't really realised it was an issue until it became a major. Looking online so many people seem to have a similar issue.
