Meet the Accursed Wallpaper on Internet

Hey Guys,

 Recently a photo leaked online. If you set that photo as you Phone Wallpaper. It will brick your phone within a few seconds. Especially Samsung devices.

 Yeah, What your reading is correct, Peoples calls it as GHOST WALLPAPER or ACCURSED WALLPAPER. 

Let's approach it as a techie. This picture was shared by ice universe on June 1^st on twitter. he shared this picture with the disclaimer 

Warning ! ! !
Never set this as wallpaper especially Samsung phone users. It will cause your Phone to crush! Don't Try it. If someone sends you, please just ignore it.

What he was shared is absolutely true even in Oneplus, Pixel devices also affected by this wallpaper.

So Don't be Try.

Reason:

To summarize, the SystemUI only handles sRGB images for the wallpaper, and it doesn’t check against non-sRGB images. Setting a non-sRGB wallpaper can then cause an issue that leads to the crash due to an error in the variables.

After Ice Universe retweeted a post showing the wallpaper crashing a Google Pixel phone, they posted an update showing Samsung appearing to have resolved the issue.

"Just wait for the subsequent firmware update and do not take the risk," the tweet said.
