I report a critical hardware issue on my Galaxy S23 Ultra that started right after installing the latest software update.

Timeline of Failure
The update installed on December 4, 2025.
A single vertical green line appeared across the screen immediately after reboot.
Device and Software Details:
Device: Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra
Build Number: S918U1UES6EYK3
Android Version: B (Android 16)
Release Date (Software): 2025-11-24
Security Patch Level: 2025-11-01

Troubleshooting and Device Condition
No physical damage, impact, or liquid exposure. Full cache wipe and restarts failed to resolve it, pointing to hardware failure.

Supporting Reports: Multiple users report green lines returning or starting after the November 2025 update, as covered here:
� These align with my case, suggesting the update triggers power issues to the display 
� Samsung ran a free display replacement campaign ending September 2025, but this post-update surge warrants reinstatement 

Requested Resolution: This ties directly to the November 2025 update (S918U1UES6EYK3). Extend free out-of-warranty display replacements for affected devices including mine. I request free repair/display replacement at an authorized center after inspection.

Hello Samsung Team,

​I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction regarding the service experience I received today at an authorized Samsung Service Center in India (Pincode: 534211).

Device and Issue Details ​
Device: Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra ​
Purchased In: USA ​
Current Location: Permanently residing in India. ​
Issue: Display failure/damage that occurred without any physical drop or apparent physical damage, which I believe was triggered by a recent software update. ​

Service Center Experience
​I visited the service center as per the instruction of a Samsung Support representative I previously contacted. However, I was informed by the service center staff that they cannot provide repair service for US-bought phones, citing that the device to be sent back to the country of purchase for repair.

​This policy, in the context of a customer who has permanently relocated, is highly inconvenient and, frankly, absurd.

​Warranty and Repair Cost Concern
​Furthermore, I was told that since the phone was purchased in the US, I would have to bear the entire repair cost out of pocket. The quoted price for the display replacement on the S23 Ultra at this service center is approximately ₹19,000 (including tax).

​It is unacceptable to me that a display failure, caused by a software update and not by any customer-induced physical damage, forcing the customer to pay such a high cost.

​Request for Resolution

​I request an immediate review of my case. I expect Samsung to:

​Override the regional policy and authorize the service center at Pincode 534211 to proceed with the display repair in India. ​Acknowledge the nature of the damage (software-induced/non-physical) and cover the repair cost under an extended or goodwill warranty.

​I look forward to your prompt response and a viable solution.
