Very strange screen issue, old apps in background

Hi

I have recently received a few Samsung s7 Edge from my supplier with a really odd screen issue.

When I'm on a white screen, even when you take a photo with white in the background, you can see faded old apps in the background.

Any other colour is fine but if any part of screen is white it's like you can see the main apps menu however there are apps visible that aren't even on this device currently.

Hi!

I think the cause of your problem is screen-burn in. This happens a lot to AMOLED panels when they display the same image for a long time, the pixels got damaged. I don't think there's any way to deal with this other than replacing the screen.

It's not screen burn in because we all have the exact same image showing underneath whenever the screen is white.
