I don't know what is happening, my phone is not like dropped by me or someone else, the damage at left bottom is way back from 2021, it can't be the reason.

Earlier when my phone was getting hot it changes the screen color, not like for increasing brightness, its yellowish type.

Now, at first without any reason, it was not lighting up, only a green line at bottom appears, after trying 2, 3 or more times it lights up, so i turned on AOD, this was a temporary solution, then the green light startung turning on/off automatically at nights LOL, cuz while charging i have a routine to turn on AOD. It was also fine cuz at high brightness it wasn't doing so....

Then at left side there my screen went unclear, like small lines over there, which went all the way from blue to normal with time. 

But now it's showing stars if used at mid brightness and also flickering in real life.

Yesterday, it was just showings stars, when i pkuggwdit in charger it again went fine.

IDk why?

All I know is that i used it in direct sunlight, I don't think this should be the reason, else why they gave 1000 Nits of peak brightness?

I was always using phone with Adaptive Brightness, so it went upto 1000 in much cases.

I have duplicate battery it usually swallowes, cuz Sam doesn't manufacture new one's now, could it be a reason? But then, like my battery is right side, the screen should have damaged from right side it it starting from left.

I guess it's a software problem, cuz at AOD the screen is normal, when i light it up its yellow.
