Re-post: My previous post was marked as spam for somewhat reason.
A white bar appeared on my S22 Ultra screen out of the blue (21/12/2022).
It's never been dropped and has no physical damage.
It is protected by a solid case and a screen protector.
It seems due to a faulty screen.
Has anyone had this issue with their devices?
It's still under warranty.
It's a pre-ordered device. (Softlogic).
It failed to run for at least 1 year.
Update (27/01/2023):
I handed over my device to the Samsung Service Center. (I skipped the season.)
They said that it need a screen replacement and didn't inform me why and how it happened.
They didn't give me a replacement phone and I have to switch back to my old device for my daily tasks.
I bought a new device because the old device can't handle my workload in the first place.
Update (09/02/2023):
It's been 2 weeks. I don't have any updates on my device.
The last update was, they were waiting for replacement parts to arrive.
Update (14/02/2023):
The job is completed. Got the device back from the Samsung repair center.
In this warranty claim they have replaced the Screen with the frame and Battery.
The Back panel and the internal circuitry are the only parts reused from the original device.
Got a test results sheet for tests such as a waterproof test and Sound/Mic, etc.
For anyone who has this issue, I recommend claiming the warranty otherwise the display colors will start to fade and will be dead eventually. It will cost around Rs. 186,000 for the screen replacement if the device is out of warranty.
It took more than 2 weeks to complete the job (They is a replacement part importing delay).
Update (23/02/2023):
I updated the device a few days back and it is running the latest update with One UI 5.1
So far no issues. The device will not run into any more issues hopefully.
