I bought my S22 Ultra 6 months ago. Two days ago I started seeing a black spot around my selfie camera. I started researching and it seems that they are dead pixels. Do anyone else has the same problem? Any solution other than take send it to repair?

Sorry to say but the only way to fix this issue would be to send it in for repair

I have this same issue. The dark spot appeared around 2 months after I got my new phone, since then it has grown in size because things are hectic and I haven't found the time to take it in. Super frustrating to have this issue without a cause and on a new phone. Anyone know how long I'll have to be without a phone for them to fix something like this?
