Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is the top-end model in the flagship S22 lineup but it seems the model may not have a smooth sail in the market. There are indications that some early units of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, mainly in regions with the Exynos chip powering the device may be having a display problem.

Multiple reports have surfaced online of new owners of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra in Exynos regions complaining of having display problems on their devices. It seems the problem is that the users observed a weird pixelated horizontal line across the smartphone’s display. The said line seems to be found at about the same position for all the customers who have complained about it at the moment.

Although there are still regions, including the United States where Snapdragon models will be shipped, it is unclear whether the issue is related to the chipset deployed in the units. The fact however is that all the Galaxy S22 Ultra units that are having pixelated line problems are known to be powered by the Exynos 2200 chipset. The Exynos chip came under scrutiny recently when Geekbench performance data showed that Apple’s Bionic chip deployed in the iPhone 11 outperformed the latest Exynos flagship SoC. Although a conclusion cannot be drawn based on performance tests alone, it could point to some issues with the new chip, which has also had issues of overheating reported.

It was also observed that the horizontal line issue was only present when the device was on 1440p mode and switching the screen mode to Vivid provided a fix for the issue. This may point to the possibility that this could be a software issue that could easily be resolved when the regular updates for the device roll in. There has been no official response by Samsung to the issue at this time, but we expect a response or action in a short while.
