i have purchased my samsung galaxy s10 few months ago, as soon as i started using it, my phone kept opening random apps, keyboard was also not working properly, suppose if i tried to write " hi " it wrote " hhiii" instead. i thought it was some glitch and i restarted phone, but nothing got improved. then i removed the thin screen protector that comes with the phone, but the problem persisted. before i could thing of getting it to a store or repair shop, the problem did not occur for  a few days, i thought it must be some software glitch and phone is fine now, but just then, again the same thing happened, random touches, any app gets opened, for example, even if i open instagram, randomly any picture gets likes, if i try to see notifications the conversation gets opened. episodes of this thing keeps coming, for a few days i dont even recognize that phone had any problem and then it suddenly starts like this, i am using it like this since 2 days and it is very much irritating, i dont even have any option right now due to lockdown, i thought it would be proper to get online support. i have tried turning phone on and off, i have tried phone in safe mode- that also doesnt help, no screen guard is there on phone, please guide me. thanks for the help in advance.

 

update: i did factory reset my phone, no improvement, so this was the last thing i could do at home i guess, any other solution now?

It is not accidental touch. You can see the issue happening even if you keep the phone on a desk untouched.

I have got the exact same issues with my s10 plus. It started recently after almost 2 years of usage. Mostly happens at the bottom part of the screen. Once the issue happens, if you just observe the phone, you can see some app getting selected if you are in the home screen or of you have the keypad open, it randomly inputs some characters.
