I am pretty sure than CHMultimedia is right, the problem seems to come from Google. I make a search on different Samsung's forum and this problem is related on many, Note20 ultra is flickering everywhere in the world or in Europe they don't have Snapdragon chip they have Exynos..
So i beleive it's a Chrome problem that will be fix soon...but i understand why you go to the store ,, we wil do the same thing. Give us some news tomorrow

I also agree that this could be a software problem. If flickering happen on same spot, this can be hardware. But if only on Chrome, could be software. I have no idea why I din't have such problem. Maybe my settings different from you?

@IfLySoLO, you are not alone, I get the same flickering only when using the Google search box, therefor I don't think there's anything wrong with the phone, I'm leaning more towards something to do with the Google search box, I will do some investigating today.

You're not the only one with the problem, apparently this situation has brought up media attention. Google may be to blame.

Update: I recreated the scenario, and it also affected my device (S20 Ultra). Google may to be blame.
Here's my Onedrive link to my findings.

Apparently it affects dark mode, in light mode the flickering seemed to disappeared.
