Over the years, Samsung has been known for producing some of the best smartphone displays in the industry, employing high quality AMOLED panels. However, a recurring issue that plagues these displays that has frustrated many users is the infamous “green line” screen defect.
These are visible lines that appear on the display, even if the smartphone didn’t suffer from any damage. Reports have suggested that this issue is linked to OLED panel degradation, software glitches, or manufacturing defects. So now, here’s a list of known Samsung Galaxy phones that faced green line problems.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Series
Just earlier this week, we covered a report where Galaxy S23 series users like the Galaxy S23 Ultra and base Galaxy S23 were complaining about their flagship devices suffering from the green line issues. Images were also shared on X (formerly Twitter) that showed these annoying lines appearing immediately after a software update.
Samsung Galaxy S22 Series
Owing to older flagship smartphones like the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S22 facing green line issues, Samsung began offering free display replacements for these models. The issue affects the high-end Samsung phones since these feature Super AMOLED panels. This was a one time free screen replacement.
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE
While this model is a part of the Galaxy S21 series, it deserves special mention since one of my colleagues directly faced this issue on the Galaxy S21 FE. He even outlined his entire service center experience when he got his device repaired as well.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4
The issue isn’t restricted to just the Galaxy S series and also affects the ultra premium Galaxy Z lineup of foldable devices as well. One of the more recent models to suffer from green lines is the Galaxy Z Flip 4. But affected users were quite disappointed considering the expensive price tag they paid for their smartphones. The problem surfaced on models which were only 5 months old as well and were still in warranty. However, Samsung had claimed that the screen wasn’t covered in their warranty.
Samsung Galaxy S20, Note 20
Lastly, we have the five year old Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy S20 lineup of devices. Samsung has been inconsistent in handling the problem since it offered a free screen replacement for the out of warranty Galaxy Note 20 Ultra but not the Z Flip 4 model. Apart from these, even the Galaxy A71 was spotted with white line issues in the past.
