A day earlier, the local currency peaked at 19.472 Tanzanian Shillings (TZS), while its lowest point over the past 12 months was recorded at TZS 15.382 FX Pesa lead market analyst Rufas Kamau explained in an exclusive interview with TUKO.co.ke that a strong shilling results in expensive Kenyan goods in the EAC market.
The phones in question have OLED screens, which is always prone to burn-in if there are elements which are static on screen for extended periods of time.
The previous update, One UI 6.0, came out in November 2023, and it quickly became apparent that Samsung had made a change which could encourage burn-in.
This own goal happened because elements in the status bar at the top of the Galaxy display such as the time, wifi-strength and battery life were no longer moving.
I don’t mean these features were ever very lively, but that they employed a coders’ clever trick where items on a display are slightly moved on a regular basis, so they never stay put for long, in the hope that screen burn-in will be avoided. It’s a discreet but effective practice which is so subtle that users really never notice it.
Well, they did when it wasn’t there, and it caused consternation when people feared the status bar could eventually be a mass of overlapping burnt-in letters and icons.
Now, according to 9to5Google, things have changed again with One UI 6.1. The lack of movement of the status bar items was first spotted on a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, and it’s that model which is in the news again now. A user with this handset has confirmed that it looks like the status bar icons are now more ambulant again, gently shifting over time so the problem has gone.
