Every Android phone I’ve owned with an OLED screen (including modern ones) have had burn-in (or rather, burn-out) problems, specifically with the status bar.
If I had a choice, I would still be using LCDs on phones.
Also on TVs with modern backlighting technology, LCDs are remarkably close to OLEDs in terms of picture quality.
Really? That’s interesting, because I’ve never noticed burn-in on any of my OLED phones, even though I did use them for many years each. But then again, I’ve always wondered why seemingly nobody talks about burn-in on phones, while there is a lot of fuzz being made around it on computer monitors.
During normal use I wouldn’t notice until I started reading webtoons and manga on my phone which shows a lot of white color that you don’t typically see. And that’s when I’d see the burn in my screen had picked up.
As for why there is more fuss about monitors than phones is because people use monitors for many more years than phones. And can use them for many more hours with lot of static elements with sometimes one program being used day in and day out. Its same reason why there is less talk of burn in for TVs versus monitors where TVs are more likely to have constantly changing visuals than monitor use case.
I actually just checked this on my Pixel 7 the other day. I have no noticeable burn in, not even in the status bar, except for the pill at the bottom of the screen. I’ve had the phone for almost three years.

Phone AMOLED screens are entirely different beasts compared to QD-OLED/WOLED on TVs and monitors.
Phone OLEDs are much more dense, run much hotter and brighter, most also lack pixel shifting and many even pixel refreshing.
I also had some severe burn-in on phones.
