The OLED on the Fairphone 5 has temporary burn-in when something bright/white is displayed on screen for a couple of seconds.
For example: the notification icons, notification pulldown, video’s, photo’s.
Basically anything bright onscreen will burn-in the display.
I have noticed it more on a grey background with rgb value of: 51, 51, 51 and hex value of: #333333.
My FP5 is ~4 months old and running CalyxOS, maybe someone else can confirm maybe on the stock firmware or another ROM.
Can’t confirm this on my one year old FP5 running stock OS, no signs of burn-in.
same here, rocking the fairphone for 8 months and zero burn in
(oh ffs, this forum always delete fact that i am replying to someone the first time and need to recomment)
My 10 month old FP5 running stock OS is regularly used in bright sunshine outside (I am an Ingress Player and play sometimes for several hours a day). The status symbols at the top line are permanent burnt in and visible on bright backgrounds. There disappers nothing after a few seconds.
I also have some mild burnin. The clock on the top left, wifi data battery and battery % are all faintly burned in on the top right of the screen. And the gesture pill on the bottom.
Anywhere else, there isn’t the smallest sign of burnin.
What’s concerning, is that I’ve noticed this about six months ago. And the phone is about to turn a year old.
