Samsung’s flagship phones are once again in the spotlight for a familiar issue. Reports of the green line display problem are popping up again, and this time, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is part of the conversation.
The issue showed up earlier on devices like the Galaxy S21 Ultra, Galaxy S21 FE, Galaxy S22 Ultra, the S23 series, and even the Galaxy Z Fold 4. The pattern has been fairly consistent. A thin vertical line appears on the display, usually without any visible damage or clear trigger.
In the recent Galaxy S26 Ultra case, a few users on X have shared posts showing a fairly thick green line on the display. The posts have also sparked some confusion, with a few people calling them “edited” or “fake”.
That said, the video looks legitimate on closer inspection. And given the history of similar issues across older models, it doesn’t feel entirely out of place.
Still, there aren’t many reports yet. A handful of posts across X and Reddit, and not much detail beyond that. So it’s hard to say how widespread this is, or what might be causing it.
For now, it’s something Samsung will likely need to look into further, especially if more cases start to show up. The company has acknowledged it in the past for certain models and, in many cases, has offered free display replacements, as long as there’s no sign of physical damage.
If you run into this, the usual advice is to head to an authorized service center first. They’ll check the device and, if it qualifies, approve a screen replacement. If not, some users suggest asking for a job sheet and escalating the issue through official support channels or the Samsung Members app.
