A new issue has surfaced in the Samsung smartphone lineup, with the appearance of a white line on the display. This time, the problem has affected a Samsung Galaxy A71, marking a departure from the previous cases involving green, pink, or purple lines seen on flagship models like the Galaxy S20 Plus, Note 20 Ultra, and S21 Ultra.

Similarities with Previous Display Problems on Samsung Flagships

A user took to Twitter to report the presence of a white vertical line on their Samsung Galaxy A71’s display. Notably, the device had not been dropped or damaged prior to the appearance of the line. In response to the issue, Samsung requested the user’s contact details through direct message, following their usual protocol for addressing consumer complaints.

This incident comes shortly after Samsung provided a free screen replacement for Galaxy Note 20 Ultra users who experienced green and pink line problems following a June 2023 software update. The issue seems to extend beyond India and affects various Samsung models equipped with OLED screens from Samsung Display.

While Samsung has not officially acknowledged the problem, their swift action in replacing affected OLED screens and batteries at no cost suggests a potential fault with either the software or the screen itself. The appearance of a white line on the display of the Galaxy A71 highlights the need for further investigation into the underlying causes of these screen issues.
