    The last phone I had that got burn-in was a Samsung galaxy s5, even then I think it only started burning in after it got water damage from dropping down a waterfall (it was fine otherwise).

      Mine was a Galaxy S8. Barely perceptible, but I noticed that the section of screen where I used to have the persistent on-screen navigation bar started to have some burn-in after 4-ish years of use

      For my current phone, I use gesture controls and make sure that there’s no persistent screen element displaying at the bottom of the screen. I still have persistent display elements for things like battery/network/time up top, but they’re too tiny to really matter. Been using this phone now for 4 years as well and haven’t noticed any burn-in at all.
