Frequently Asked Questions

What is the warranty policy for dead pixels on Samsung and Pixel phones?

Most Android manufacturers will replace the display under warranty if 2 or more defective pixels are found within the standard warranty period.

Can high refresh rates (120Hz) mask dead pixels?

No. A dead pixel is a physical hardware fault that remains defective regardless of refresh rate.
