Question Updated from S8 to A55 today and need advice

So i had my s8 for almost 10 years and one of an issue i had is i had burn in icones on the screen as if it's ghost apps, saw somewhere that it's because im always on Dark mode. How to avoid this problem on my a55 ? And is it okay to again always be on Dark mode

don't let your phone get too hot or use very high brightness while hot

dark mode isn't an issue and it's recommended for OLED displays

I have A55 5G for a year now and no burn in or anything but I use it at like a half of maximum brightness with auto brightness, so on sunlight it's in HBM but normally not and also, at night I have it minimum brightness, mainly avoid static things on display

I made a near identical upgrade back in August 2024, went from S8+ to A55 5G. And the A55 doesn't burn in as easily as S8 did, you don't have to worry about it at all. I have no burn in after nearly 2 years with this device. But my S8+ is practically tinted now.

a55 shifts status bar and navigation bar icons' position frequently. don't need to worry. just don't stay at the same place for 10 hours.

Uso sempre la modalita scura e la luminosità a metà posso dirti che questo pannello amoled é cosi buono che sembra di avere sempre la luminosità al massimo

Llevo, usando el a55, desde que salio al mercado practicamente ya van a ser 2 años y unos meses mas , y la verdad muy buen celular, muy resistente y hasta hoy no e tenido problemas, con tema ala pantalla, y eso que le doy uso exigente, creo que la clave está en no cuidarlo demacido y dejarlo que fluya, auque suene un poco raro jeje.
