My Display area shrunk..

[justafacelessguyinaO]

I got a new expensive Samsung Galaxy cellular communicator ("slab phone") about a week ago from Samsung USA, and it's unlocked by Samsung.. 

But, almost immediately after a few updates and personalizations the display size somehow became shrunken, leaving a width of unused pixels top bottom & sides.. see pic.

I don't want to reset and start all over to fix this.., has anyone had this issue too and fixed it..?

It is a model agnostic issue from everything I've read so far..

UPDATE: I found my answer, it's was really my imagination that my display was larger than shown, it turns out that this is truly how little my display extends to the sides top & bottom of the phone, I guess I was used to having more, oh well.

Ty all vm for trying to guess the answer, there are indeed displays that shrink after updates or bc of software problems, but in this case it's just how Samsung made this phone, maybe yours too.

@justafacelessguyinaO What is the "slab device" that you have? 

Can you take a photo of the screen?

It would help if you would give the model name 

[LongHiker]

@justafacelessguyinaO Go to phone settings -> About phone. Post the Product name and Model name here.

What accessibility features do you have turned on?

[justafacelessguyinaO]

These...

This is why you screen is doing this, I don't know which one is doing it.

You would need to make note of all that you have turned on and turn off one by one to see if your screen changes.

Actually, I thought I had, are there any you suspect before I try them all..?

[Robin621k]

No, I do not. I only use assistant menu to have screenshot and power off.

These are off now, no change happened, going for more..
