The Galaxy S22 Ultra has a pixel problem and Samsung is fixing it
July 17, 2025
TheSamsung Galaxy S22 seriesjust started shipping out, and already a number of users are reporting an issue with their brand new Galaxy S22 Ultra.
According tocomplaintsonReddit, many early buyers of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra are seeing a column of pixels across the phone’s display. The problem appears to be isolated to theExynos 2200model for now, possibly because theSnapdragon 8 Gen 1version hasn’t reached many customers just yet.
You can see images of affected Galaxy S22 Ultra units below.
While some users are seeing the pixelated line at the bottom half of their screens, for others, it appears in the middle as well as the top of the panel. That said, the glitch isn’t fixed on the screen. It mostly comes up while watching videos or playing games.
The good news is that Samsung has confirmed it’s not a problem with the hardware of the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
In a support forum spotted onReddit, Samsung wrote the following:
The company further noted that it’s already developing a patch for the problem and will soon roll it out via a software update. Until then, it recommends changing the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s screen mode to Vivid or resolution to FHD+.
