I have some concerns over the burn in of the screen on the 925. I understand that this is not an issue specific to the phone but rather the use of AMOLED screen. I noticed this issue while trying out the demo phones at the mobile shops when I try to switch the theme to a white background. I would assume that most of these phones have spent a fair amount of time on the black background and I wonder if that is exacerbating the issue. On one of the phones, I could recognize the burn in as coming from the Office live tile. There was also the burn in of some weird pattern near the centre of the phone screen which was clearly visible. I saw this problem not just on one phone but probably on the phones of the 3-4 shops that I visited, albeit with varying degrees of burn in. Given that these phones were probably in the store for not more than 6 months, you would probably understand my concern.
Although I have heard that some other phones(e.g. Samsung) also exhibit such burn in, I never saw it on many of the other phone models (mainly running Android) that were in the shop. I would think the more fluid and colourful design of the Android home screen lessens the effect of the burn in. The Lumia 800 that I am currently using(for about 1.5 years) running white background doesnt seem to exhibit the problem.
As I would be receiving my 925 in a couple of days, I just wanted to ask around and see if other users were facing this issue (especially those who have had it for a while) and maybe just highlighted the issue so that other users could prevent it(such as switching around the live tiles every once in a while).
