Those with pricey Samsung phones in India can now rest easy that a ‘green line’ issue won’t cost them an arm and a leg.
We increasingly expect our smartphones to go the distance, putting up with daily abuse and neglect for years. Samsung appears to be accepting that some of its devices can’t keep up and has offered free repairs to customers with a specific display defect. Those with pricey Samsung phones in India can now rest easy that a «green line» issue won’t cost them an arm and a leg. As for those in other countries, it’s still up in the air.
This problem is not connected to any specific Android phone—we see these glowing green lines appear on OLED panels from various manufacturers, although the panels themselves are often Samsung parts. The line runs from top to bottom, and it’s usually just one, but the line can multiply in some instances. Samsung phones probably don’t experience this more than other devices, but there are a lot of Samsung phones with OLED screens, so the internet is rife with incriminating pictures.
