I'm experiencing a persistent and very specific screen flickering issue on my Samsung S25 Ultra when playing BGMI (Indian version of PUBG) and Call of Duty Warzone. The flickering only occurs when I'm playing these type of games and using the in-game joystick for movement while simultaneously using a second finger/thumb for other controls (e.g., aiming, firing).
Here's a breakdown of the problem:
1) Trigger: The flickering starts intermittently during gameplay, specifically when two fingers/thumbs are touching the screen simultaneously – one for joystick control and the other for another action.
2) One Finger = No Flicker: If I only use one finger on the screen (e.g., just the joystick), the flickering completely stops. It only resumes when a second finger/thumb is used.
3) Games Affected: This issue has been consistently reproduced in both BGMI and Call of Duty Warzone. I haven't tested other games, but I suspect similar fast-paced games might also trigger it.
4) Other Apps Fine: All other normal apps on my S25 Ultra work perfectly. There is no flickering or other display issues when watching videos, browsing the web, or using any other applications.
5) Troubleshooting Tried: I've already tried the following, without success:
- Factory resetting my device.
- Reinstalling both BGMI and Call of Duty Warzone.
- Adjusting all possible in-game graphics settings (resolution, frame rate, etc.).
- Disabling Game Booster features.
- Changing display settings (refresh rate, etc.).
Comparison Devices: I've tested these same games on an iPad Pro and a Google Pixel 9, and I cannot reproduce the flickering issue on those devices.
I have a screen recording that clearly demonstrates the flickering. I strongly suspect this is an issue related to how the S25 Ultra handles multi-touch input in these specific games. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am also facing this with my Samsung galaxy s25. While playing BGMI and zooming a photo and holding it.. it flickers. I have turned off the touch sensitivity, but that doesn't solve the problem. Waiting for samsung to push an update to fix this.
