    To solve your issue, unlock DEVELOPER OPTIONS by navigating to SETTINGS, About Device, find and click on BUILD NUMBER several times until DEVELOPER OPTIONS gets unlocked. Afterwards you'll be able to see this DEVELOPER OPTIONS at the bottom once you open the SETTINGS.

    Now, open DEVELOPER OPTIONS, find and enable DISABLE HARDWARE OVERLAYS, which will force the device to use GPU for screen rendering. Your problem solved.

      the worst phone ever (in the world).
      its not easy to open the phone. service centers always demands a hefty price just to open the device.

                                        using from October 17, all i can say that it's awesome
                                        built quality. phone design is exceptional, looks premium in hand
                                        display is brighter, camera is good in sun lights only
                                        battery backup is good,
                                        only the one lag is that there is no notifications led
                                        overall a good product
