    I have been hearing this for years now and all OLEDs still burn in like crazy from normal use on phones. They are probably great for people who like to needlessly upgrade every few years, but I’m not sold on them anymore.

      I’ve had the same OLED screen daily driver since the first week of 2018, no burn in or any other problems.
      They’re not all bad.

      Been using amoled for few yrs now, on my previous and current phone. Have never experienced any burn in or heard any burn in complaints on mobile before. Don’t know what was your experience but its definitely exaggerated.

      AMOLED phone from 2014 with no burn in. Had to replace some components to keep it alive, screen is still original.

      I think it has to do with brightness. I only turn it up when I’m in the sun.

      I’ve had OLED phones since the Nexus 5 and have only had burn-in once, which was on the Nexus 5. It was due to me enabling the dev option to never turn the screen off. After 2 weeks of the screen being on 24/7 there was burn-in from the top bar.

          Nor did the Nexus 5x that followed it. I’m not sure about the first Pixel, but the Pixel 2 had AMOLED and mines still going strong, no burn in or screen issues of any kind, even despite me prying it off a couple of times to replace both the battery and usb port.

            I still use my Pixel 3a, bought in summer 2019. Maybe there’s some burn in, but I really don’t notice it in day to day use. If I don’t go looking for it, it’s all right…
