OnePlus 5T screen burn in - need advice

Hi all,
I have a OnePlus 5T device. Phone is year old (so still under warranty) and I've just found out that there are areas of the screen where burn in occured (faded icons and bars visible on light backgrounds). I'm with O2 for many years now and had few different phones over years - none of them had that issue before and each and every of them has been used the same way as this one. Don't have any device insurance as never ever needed one - I've never broken a phone. Now I'm looking for advice as due to my work I am really unable to have no phone (sending for repair can take weeks) at all and loan non smartphones from O2 are of no use for me as I need maps and apps for work. Shall I just live with those marks on screen or anyone have any advice what else I could do/discuss with O2? The whole case is probably dead end as it's 'send for repair' or 'don't do it's and pay for phone with damaged screen' but maybe somebody smarter than me will have something to say...

Thanks

Unfortunately one plus are as difficult to deal with as o2!

That’s unfortunate to find out. Do they use the same repairs people or are they in house?

It's customer service that's difficult.

@MI5 - sounds like there's no easy (or even semi easy) thing I could do. I'll try to sort something out with OnePlus customer service but not counting on much help. Thanks for cheering up 😅

Thanks. It's not end of the world, just a little bit annoying. I'll try to sort it out through OnePlus but I have a bad feeling about this too...

@Sedalin Whatever the outcome from OnePlus, it couldn't be worse than what you'd get if you sent it off to O2 Repairs. A search of the forum would be ample proof of that. Good luck.:smileywink:
