It appears that One UI 6 no longer has a burn-in protection measure in the status bar on the phone screen. Many users have noticed that the status bar always stays in the same place, which can cause ghosting.

Multiple users on Reddit Note that the status bar remains at the top of the screen on Samsung devices running Android 14. This way, the battery and clock icon do not change. Users can test this by taking a screenshot, changing the view from portrait to landscape and back again, then taking another screenshot.

The user has overlaid screenshots taken with One UI 5 and compared them with images of One UI 6. This shows that the status bar in One UI 5 is always moved slightly, while the icons in 6 remain there. Dragosslash says the navigation buttons keep moving.

However, it is difficult to determine if the security measure is not included in One UI 6, 9to5Google writes. It’s possible that Samsung has tweaked the screenshots to compensate for the animated status bar, or the company is using a new method to prevent ghosting. Additionally, screenshots were captured on two different devices: Galaxy S23 Ultra with One UI 6 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra with One UI 5.
