    <description>Firmware/Software updates push the device to peak performance, generating significant heat. That thermal stress can expose weak points in the OLED display—especially fragile internal connections—leading to permanent display lines.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;This isn’t normal wear and tear. It points to an underlying design or manufacturing flaw.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Samsung has a responsibility to address such core issues.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Instead, they are choosing to deny accountability and shift the burden onto customers—asking them to pay for what is clearly a defect.&lt;BR /&gt;That’s not just disappointing, it’s unacceptable.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Multiple users reporting it after updates, yet Samsung continues to show negligence by shifting the cost onto customers instead of acknowledging the problem.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;In my case as well, the display issue appeared immediately after an official update, but it is still being treated as a chargeable repair since one goodwill support was already given.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;So Samsung’s solution is simple:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":backhand_index_pointing_right:"&gt;👉&lt;/span&gt; Push update&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":backhand_index_pointing_right:"&gt;👉&lt;/span&gt; Screen gets line issue&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":backhand_index_pointing_right:"&gt;👉&lt;/span&gt; Say “out of warranty”&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":backhand_index_pointing_right:"&gt;👉&lt;/span&gt; Charge ₹12,000&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Customer pays for their mistake?&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://r2.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S/Repeated-Vertical-Pink-Line-Issue-After-Software-Updates-Galaxy/td-p/21852524?src=ShareByUserCM" target="_blank"&gt;https://r2.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S/Repeated-Vertical-Pink-Line-Issue-After-Software-Updates-Galaxy/td-p/21852524?src=ShareByUserCM&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Beware-of-Updates &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":police_car_light:"&gt;🚨&lt;/span&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://r2.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S/Beware-of-Updates/td-p/21904940?src=ShareByUserCM" target="_blank"&gt;https://r2.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S/Beware-of-Updates/td-p/21904940?src=ShareByUserCM&lt;/A&gt;</description>
