When you hold your new Samsung Galaxy S20 in your hands, it makes sense to take a closer look at the display first. Especially with regard to defective or dead pixels.
Because despite an almost perfect manufacturing process of the smartphone, it can happen that the display has a defect in the form of a dead pixel. But how can you find such a defective pixel?
For this purpose, Samsung has provided three special tests in its integrated service menu, each of which displays the colors red, green and blue.
