Overview
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra uses a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with adaptive refresh rates from 1Hz to 120Hz. Some units have exhibited screen flickering that presents as a rapid pulsing or flashing of the display, particularly at lower brightness levels. The cause can range from a One UI software issue to a damaged display connector or degraded AMOLED panel.
Common Causes
- Adaptive refresh rate driver bug in One UI causing the display to switch frequencies erratically
- Loose display flex cable after an impact, causing intermittent electrical connection
- AMOLED panel damage from a drop resulting in internal delamination and image instability
- Software conflict between a third-party app and the display driver causing flicker
- Moisture reaching the display connector and causing intermittent shorts
Signs & Symptoms
- Screen pulses or flashes rapidly, particularly noticeable at low brightness
- Flickering appears in specific apps or during video playback only
- Display shows horizontal lines or bands during flickering episodes
- Flicker stops temporarily after a restart but returns within minutes
Should You Try DIY?
The Samsung S24 Ultra display is glued to the frame and requires heat and specialised tools to separate safely. Improper disassembly can crack the curved AMOLED panel or damage the S Pen digitiser layer. Always use a trained technician.

If hardware is the cause, we carefully separate the display assembly using controlled heat and replace the AMOLED panel with a quality unit. All touch, S Pen, and display features are tested before the device is returned.
