Samsung has recently released its One UI 6.1 update, bringing back a crucial burn-in prevention feature that was missing from the previous version. OLED displays, known for their vibrant visuals, are prone to screen burn-in, which occurs when static images are displayed for extended periods, causing permanent image retention.
The feature works by subtly shifting pixels on the screen to prevent this issue from occurring. While similar protections were present in One UI 5, they were notably absent from One UI 6.0, particularly affecting the Galaxy S23 series.
With the release of One UI 6.1, Samsung has reintroduced these protections, with status bar icons now subtly repositioning on devices like the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The update is currently available for the Galaxy S23 series, Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5, and other eligible devices.
In addition to the burn-in prevention feature, One UI 6.1 also introduces Galaxy AI features designed to enhance the overall Samsung phone experience. Users are encouraged to update their devices to take advantage of these new features and protections.
