Unfortunately, my screen has recently been getting these deformations(?) around the edges, see photos:The same screen damage recently happened to my November purchased Manjaro Pinephone that I have been using as a daily driver shortly after I got it. The screen issue started in the top corners a few weeks ago and spread out. This problem and the cellular modem failing both seemed to happen shortly after I noticed that the phone was running hot way more often than it used to.
They've suddenly appeared one day, starting with the bar of rectangles on the top and spread to the sides in the span of around a week, although it seems like it's stopped now. It's only visible when I shine a light on the screen, i.e. can't be seen in the dark with just the backlight shining. It doesn't look like it's damage to the screen protector or the glass, the artifacts look like they're below the glass. Is the screen permanently damaged? What could have been the cause of this? Damage by heat? Water (air moisture)? Pressure? If I replace the screen, what can I do to avoid this in the future?
Sadly, I can no longer use my Pinephone as my daily driver.
Maybe I'll buy a Pixel 3a (my Nexus 5 is barely hanging on).
