⚠️ Before You Update Your Samsung Galaxy S21 FE - Screen Line Issue - No Warranty?

Ғылым және технология

I updated my Samsung Galaxy S21 FE recently and about a week after the update my screen got a line on it. I had already read about many users facing this issue on the internet, dubbed the green line issue. My phone was out of warranty so, and it clearly happened after the last update.
This issue first started with One Plus phones.
The screen problem issue (green lines) after 1-2 years on AMOLED smartphones, after updates has become a widespread issue now.
All brands should offer a 3 year warranty if a device has OLED / AMOLED screen. Govt of India should look into this issue as smartphone manufacturers have failed us.

    The fact that it's post update shows that it is part of the software update, so clear programed obsolescence

    That's a another point ! If a manufacturer is promising 3 years of software update, I think the warranty for certain parts should also be that long.

    Brother, not only you are facing in S21 FE, even I am facing the same issue in Realme X7 Pro and in Realme Community its full of complaints and mostly are of X7 Pro. I got twice free screen replacements and now for third time i am facing and service centre people are denying for free replacement because of Water/Liquid Damage. My question to them was why twice green lines came without liquid damage and now with with liquid damage, The green line is not linked with water/physical damage, its something internal manufacturing defect, planned obsolescence by smartphone brands or some chances are even also due to software updates.
