Right? Even just turning off the screen every day is good enough for the life of the screen.

Every Android phone I've owned with an OLED screen (including modern ones) have had burn-in (or rather, burn-out) problems, specifically with the status bar.

If I had a choice, I would still be using LCDs on phones.

Also on TVs with modern backlighting technology, LCDs are remarkably close to OLEDs in terms of picture quality.

Phone AMOLED screens are entirely different beasts compared to QD-OLED/WOLED on TVs and monitors.

Phone OLEDs are much more dense, run much hotter and brighter, most also lack pixel shifting and many even pixel refreshing.

I also had some severe burn-in on phones.

Really? That's interesting, because I've never noticed burn-in on any of my OLED phones, even though I did use them for many years each. But then again, I've always wondered why seemingly nobody talks about burn-in on phones, while there is a lot of fuzz being made around it on computer monitors.

I actually just checked this on my Pixel 7 the other day. I have no noticeable burn in, not even in the status bar, except for the pill at the bottom of the screen. I've had the phone for almost three years.

What kind of time frame were they testing over? Not seeing any significant burn in means something completely different if they're testing for one year versus ten, especially for people who don't like replacing things that aren't totally unusable yet.
