Iphone 8 screen turns black while watching videos

I was watching videos on FB when my iphone screen flickered a sec, then went black screen. I can hear calls or messages but with a hard reset or a factory restore not able to bring back the display on the screen.

Note, there was not even a single drop or water damage on the phone which is why it's surprising me on the cause of getting a black screen. And the iphone has been a month and a half old only.

The quality of Iphone seems to deteriorate a lot with years passed by.


Techs could you please help.

iPhone 8, iOS 13
