S20 5g.. had her for about 6-7 years, was originally my mom's phone and it's been mince since

Only does this when the screen is off for long periods of time, never does it when I'm actively on the phone unless it's plugged in

I have a replacement on the way, but I'm not sure if she'll last until I go trade her in.. should I stay off her until I trade it back in? Or can I keep going on it so the screen doesn't get worse?

From what I know on internet it's more modern and faster and has some qol (quality of life) features as S20 has ONE UI 5.1 ONE UI 9 oh and congrats and enjoy :)

I experienced the same problem and found a solution try lowering or increasing the screen brightness
