Users of Samsung’s Galaxy S21, S21 FE, and S22 models have reported the unexpected appearance of a green line on their device screens, often after receiving a software update, though no definitive link has been established. This phenomenon isn’t isolated to Samsung; other manufacturers like OnePlus have also initiated free screen replacement initiatives for devices affected by this problem. Samsung, too, has a history of providing such services for similar issues in the past.
