Screen flickering/blinking Xperia Z1

Sometimes my display flickers for a few seconds, doesnt mater where I am on screen, I noticed it mainly in call logs/calling, chrome, home screen and messages. It's nothing major and it's kinda weird flicker, like anti aliasing lines or something like that. And it happens mainly in dimmed light conditions. On the whole screen, not any specific part/corner.

After few seconds it goes away and it doesn't happen all the time, nor constantly.

Did anybody noticed it on their phone? Could it be software or hardware related? I'm on 4.4.4 kitkat and the phone is week old. It was already in water for tests but everything was properly sealed, doesn't have any fall damage etc., I take good care of stuff.

Any help is appreciated.

my screen started to flicker recently as well. Wasn't much at the start but now it's getting worst. Can't watch any pictures (same like in post above), geting horizontal lines when on the calls or mobile data on Edge signal !!! Updated phone to latest software 14.6.A.1.216 no changes, reset to factory setting still nothing. So is it a hardware issue?
