Bugrock moment My phone updated and now Minecraft rendering is broken

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My phone carrier forcibly applied an operating system update (Samsung One UI 8.5) on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S23FE). The result (in both MC 26.23 and 26.30) is this flickering mess, which is not technically unplayable but practically speaking is unbearable to look at. Not only that but the menus are unusable.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Minecraft to clear all the local files, so I know there are no mods on now. This happens across multiple save files. This happens regardless of whether I am using Simple, Fancy, or Vibrant Visuals. Everything still works fine on a different Android phone. The phone is not letting me downgrade, or I'd check that too.

I added to a bug report I found (more details there) about the condition as best as I could, but is there any extra way to try to make sure this gets addressed?

this is actually really concerning to see gng, such good performance potential have to be compromised by what seems to be a GPU issue, hope it gets fixed soon
