On Samsung Galaxy phones, one of the strangest bugs in recent years has been discovered. Choosing a certain wallpaper causes the phone to crash and restart constantly. Experts have already looked at the picture and found the likely reason for the problem. The error is located directly in Androidu, which has a limited sRGB color space. In other words, the image has too high a dynamic range, which the phone s Androidem cannot process. For example, the histogram shows a value greater than 255 for an image.

The bug first appeared on Samsung phones, but a number of curious Twitter users confirmed the crashes and reboots on other brands' phones as well. However, it was also found that once the image is edited by software, it can be used as wallpaper without any problems. However, we still don't recommend experimenting, and if you like a picture, for example, we would wait for a fix first. In addition, it is already being prepared at this moment. First of all, this problem will be fixed in Androidu 11, which should be introduced in a few days, and Samsung has already promised a fix in one of the following updates.
If you happened to ignore our warning and your phone now restarts, luckily the fix is simple. You need to put your phone in safe mode and change your phone wallpaper in it. You can enter safe mode by holding the volume down button while turning on the phone. As soon as you change the wallpaper, you have to restart the phone again, which turns off the safe mode.
